Over the winter break, in some of the coldest temperatures of the season, a group of young Muslim men and boys delivered gifts and food as part of their organization’s effort to dispel prejudice and serve the community.
Their group, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association, is a national youth organization with a chapter in Round Rock that serves all of Central Texas. Its 50 young members are part of Austin’s Ahmadiyya Muslim sect, which has been based at a mosque in Round Rock since 2007.
“We’re a religious group with the purpose to foster religious identity based on Islam,” said Abdul Naseer, a research scientist at the University of Texas and the national director for humanitarian services for the organization. “This initiative is to use these holy days to serve the needy and our neighbors.”
