Flag Hoisting Ceremony

The 33rd Jalsa Salana of Jamaat Australia was held from 30  March to 1  April in Masjid Baitul Huda, Sydney.

Hard work, time and dedication went into the preparation for Jalsa Salana Australia 2018. Marquees were erected, signs were put in place, and fresh grass was laid, beautifying the House of God for the guests of the Promised Messiahas

Over 3,300 members from across Australia – including over 100 guests from 18 countries – participated. It had the second largest attendance since Jalsa Salana 2013. 

Jamaat Australia’s Amir and Missionary In-Charge, Inamul Haq Kausar sahib, conducted the inspection preceding the Jalsa Salana on 28 March. 

After Jumu’ah prayers on the first day of Jalsa Salana, as per tradition, the Liwa-e-Ahmadiyyat (Flag of Ahmadiyyat) was hoisted, which was followed by the opening session of Jalsa. In his opening address, Amir Sahib conveyed Huzoor-e-Anwar’saa message and prayers for the participants of Jalsa Salana.
