welcome to this exhilarating 3-day cycling Journey organized by MJ an UK in cooperation with jamaat ahmedia in Spain last year the cycling course took place in Valena however under direct guidance of khalifi the 5 this year’s ride for peace cycling episode was held in bedad Cordoba this event which brought together people from various parts of the country and the world led us through stunning Landscapes and Unforgettable moments [Music] the first day began at the iconic basharat mosque from here the cyclist embarked on their route towards Balan a Charming Town renowned for its Olive Groves and historical [Music] Heritage a brief rest the route continued towards Castro de Rio a Place full of Andalusian charm energized by the group’s enthusiasm the cyclist Advanced to Elario where they were warmly welcomed by the local residents [Music] as evening fell the participants returned to the Bashar mosque for a special dinner this event was a gathering point for local authorities participants and community members hello good afternoon first of all I’d like to thank the community for organizing this event that unites us all in the mission of peace and how can we not thank our friends nation and the people as well as those of us who pedal throughout it all during the dinner honorary awards were presented to the outstanding Spanish participants notably a group of valencians who had traveled all the way from their home City to join this [Music] journey also the slogan you have is so wonderful love for all and hatred for none if that were the case in Palestine in Ukraine or wherever I believe it would be fabulous if there were no more Wars none at all with how well we could live in peace respecting one another if one is white he’s white if he’s black he’s black and if he’s yellow he’s yellow because I believe that we look at the person not their color at the end of the day it doesn’t make a difference where you’re born here there is an atmosphere of great happiness but because of the place we are in I think this place has something magical it has something special that makes it especially because of the great and warm welcome that one arrives here feels at home and when you are at home you are comfortable happy calm and we always come back to the same point you find yourself in peace when you arrive here the feeling out there in the world of stress anxiety constant hurry suddenly when you come here you forget it all there are people who are a little more involved and others who are less involved some have more practice and some have less practice but the truth is that it has been very good they have been regrouping every few kilometers and well the event has been fantastic and I think it is very positive because it is what the world needs in other countries which are in war it would be a hell for me in my eyes to behold to see right but keep in mind that here hatred and and envy also don’t allow one to be at peace thank you for coming here tonight and we want you to tell us a little bit about your impressions of the event what has it been like to be here with such a different people from different backgrounds Etc well I was pleasantly surprised because I thought the mosque was more of a small committee that they were few people who didn’t integrate and for 20s something years you’ve been passing by there but I thought the mosque was only for the people living here so I was a bit unaware well for my part what I can say about the ahmedia Muslim Community which is a community that came to bedra Abad in 1982 in 1980 the foundation stone of the mosque was placed and in 1982 we were able to inaugurate it I feel part of the ahmedia community from the first hour I have shared Pleasant moments and well this is one more proof of that the cycling route for peace peace ride for peace is another proof of the beautiful work that has been done to unite the arms and hands of different cultures and at the same time bring that message to the small town of about 2,800 inhabitants that love you all have for all religions because the ahmedia community is open to all religions the doors of your mosques are open to any type of culture and well I experience and live it in my very own skin and the truth is congratulations keep working this way and I hope we continue to see each other in future events the second day led the cyclist through an equally challenging and beautiful route the first stop was mono known for its panoramic views and impressive [Music] [Music] architecture the participants headed towards karda a journey that offered close contact with nature and the Tranquility of rural Landscapes the day concluded with a visit toio before returning once again to the bashad MOs this second day was a testament to the cyclist’s endurance and determination final day was a special one with the cyclists leaving the Bashar mosque heading directly to Corda this city in history and culture provided a perfect closure to this [Music] adventure this 3-day event was not only a physical challenge but also an opportunity to strengthen bonds and create lasting memories we extend our gratitude to the jamaat Ahmed in Spain and mjus Anar UK for making this wonderful experience possible we hope you enjoyed this journey as much as we did until the next adventure until next time assalam
