Among its secondary benefits is that this congregational meeting together will promote mutual introduction among all brothers, and it will strengthen the fraternal ties within this Community..." Ishtihar 7 Dec. 1892, Majmoo`ah Ishtiharat Vol. I, Page 340 It is essential for all those who can afford to undertake the journey, that they must come to attend this Convention which embodies many blessed objectives. They should disregard minor inconveniences in the cause of Allah and His prophet (peace be upon him.). Allah yields reward to the sincere persons at every step of their way, and no labour and hardship, undertaken in His way, ever goes to waste. I re-emphasize that you must not rank this convention in the same league as other, ordinary, human assemblies. This is a phenomenon that is based purely on the Divine Help, for propagation of Islam." Ishtihar 7 Dec. 1892, Majmoo`ah Ishtiharat Vol. I, Page 341 I conclude with the prayer that everyone who travels for [attending] this Convention that is for the sake of Allah: May Allah, the Exalted, be with him, reward him in abundant measure, have mercy on him, ease up for him his circumstances of hardship and anxiety and eliminate his anguish and grief. May He grant him freedom from every single hardship and lay open for him the ways of [achieving] his cherished goals, and raise him up, on the day of Judgment, among those of His servants who are the recipients of His blessings and Mercy. May He be their Guardian in their absence until after their journey comes to an end. O Allah! O Sublime One and Bestower of bounties, the Ever Merciful and One Who Resolves all problems, do grant all these prayers, and grant us Victory over our opponents with scintillating signs, because You alone have all the prowess and power. Aameen! Aameen!!

Waqfe Nau Newsletter USA Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (aba) s Friday Sermon Summary Friday Sermon: Essence of Ahmadiyyat Delivered by Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (ayyadahullahu ta ala binasrihil- aziz), the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community on August 16, 2013 After tashhud, ta awwuz and recitation of Sura Al-Fatiha, Huzoor Aqdas (may Allah strengthen him with His Mighty Help) said that: A few days ago I had a discussion with an officeholder and it became clear to me that there are some issues I need to address. These are especially needed for a certain class of our membership. Then there are also some issues that need to be addressed for the benefit of certain of our officeholders. All that I have to say is of as great an importance for other Jama ats worldwide as they are of importance and significance for the Jama at here. Also these are very much needed for our new generation of Ahmadis and for those from among them who are not very active and not mostly involved in the work of the Jama at. The issues I will be laying in front of everyone are such as are often not discussed very openly and in full detail. The missionaries, murabbis and officeholders also do not discuss these things in a manner that they need to be presented and as a consequence questions arise in the minds of some - but they do not ask these questions. This is especially the case with the young. They feel that the people or their elders or parents or the officeholders will consider their asking these questions to be something bad or they will become involved in some difficulty as a result. The fact of the matter should, of course, have been that they should have had such relationships as would have permitted them to ask these questions of their missionaries or the officeholders of the Jama at or at the least the officeholders of their auxiliary organizations - Khuddamul Ahmadiyya or Lajna Imaillah. This would have led to them increasing their knowledge and remove any lingering doubts or misunderstandings. They can of course also write to me, and some do write to me from abroad, and even from here and they do so while remaining well within the required levels of respect and deference due, and their questions are answered also. In any case it also became clear that some officeholders also do not know the details of what their office duties demand or require of them and they are not fulfilling the requirements of their office as they need to be fulfilled. The things that I am about to say involve one aspect that has to do with knowledge of our beliefs and principles and has to do with knowing why we are established on a particular belief or principle. Similarly when we are told to do certain things we should know why we are required to do those things and why the doing of these things is necessary for an Ahmadi. For example, financial sacrifices to which we are called, people want to know the details regarding these matters. Then there are certain aspects of the duties of officeholders that have to do with the proper execution of their duties and they need to know how they can carry out those requirements. They also need to know the extent of their authority.so I will draw your attention briefly to these two matters. The first thing that needs to be mentioned relates to our beliefs and it is of utmost importance that an Ahmadi must know this and this is mentioned again and again but it is not mentioned with that required focus or it is not mentioned keeping in mind that our own members training and education requires that this be mentioned and stated clearly. It is normally assumed that a born Ahmadi knows these things and knows what is the purpose for which the Promised Messiah (as) was sent in to the world and why it is essential that he be accepted. Those who join the Jama at of course know these things because they enter having read and studied these matters. But those who, as I said, are not as active and do not participate in the ijtema s and do not also come to the Jalsas - and there are such people in every country where there is a Jama at, whether they are small in number or large, but such a group of people does exist in every country - and it is necessary that we turn our attention to them with concern and focus. And for this purpose Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya and Lajna Imaillah need also to turn their attention and make programs and do more to address these issues. Similarly the Jama at system also needs to pay attention to the needs of such members and try to reform them and train them instead of just pushing them aside or ignore them by saying that they cannot be reformed except, of course, such as say openly that they have no connection or association with us. But even about such people, the Jama at s mainstream officials should give their information to the auxiliaries because sometimes these kinds of statements are made by them because of the harshness of some senior officials. It is quite likely that they may heed the approaches made by their peers or those who are of their age or occupation etc and so the auxiliaries may be able to reach them and effect a reformation. Wherever this approach has been adopted we have seen success by the Grace of Allah. In some places there are such tarbiyyat secretaries who have developed programs keeping in mind the particular psychology and mindset of such people and such programs had a positive and significant impact and they received very good response from such members who had become alienated so much. In any case our efforts need to be to insure that we will try and save every Ahmadi as far as possible and within our abilities. This is the responsibility of every officeholder and every missionary and murabbee and at every level within the Jama at and the auxiliary structure of the whole Jama at - it is everyone s responsibility.
