The Muslim community in South Australia are celebrating Australia Day at the Masjid Noor Mosque and the Mahmood Mosque to express their gratitude for the nation.
Ahmadiyya Muslim community member Imam Kamran Tahir says Australia is “one of the best countries in the world, if not the best,” with the freedom it gives its citizens.
“Whether it be freedom or equality in terms of earning yourself in terms of your own merit or the freedom of worship or the freedom of religion,” Mr Tahir told Sky News Australia.
“We are extremely proud to be Australians, and hence for the sake of gratitude, we are celebrating Australia in both of our mosques.”
