Islamabad, Tilford, 18 January 2026: The national amila of Majlis Ansarullah Switzerland had the blessed opportunity of a mulaqat with Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vaa.
Overview of Majlis Ansarullah Switzerland
The meeting commenced with a silent prayer. Huzooraa first addressed Sadr Majlis Ansarullah Switzerland and enquired about the number of majalis and the total membership. Sadr Sahib reported that there were 15 majalis with a total of 194 ansar. Hearing the total membership, Huzooraa remarked that this number is equivalent to a local neighbourhood.
Individual introductions and departmental guidance
Huzooraa then spoke with the national amila members one by one, including naib sadran, qaideen of various departments and a number of zu‘ama representing different local majalis.
The Naib Sadr Saff-e-Dom introduced himself. Upon hearing that his plan included organising cycling events for the ansar, Huzooraa asked him about his own cycling habits. The qaid replied that he used to cycle and intended to restart.
Waqf-e-Arzi and Talim-ul-Quran
The Naib Sadr Awwal, serving also as Qaid Talim-ul-Quran and Waqf-e-Arzi, reported on his duties. Huzooraa enquired about the participation of the amila members in the waqf-e-arzi scheme. When the qaid admitted that neither he nor the other amila members had participated in the scheme during the previous year, Huzooraa stated that the amila must lead by example; if they do not perform the duty themselves, they cannot expect others to follow. Huzooraa instructed that all amila members should first complete their waqf-e-arzi and also ensure they teach the Holy Quran within their own homes to set the system in motion.
Zahanat and Sehat-e-Jismani
The Qaid Zahanat-o-Sehat-e-Jismani reported that he goes to the gym a minimum of two or three times a week. Huzooraa asked how many other ansar attend the gym. The qaid replied that, as he had only taken charge recently, he was still collecting the data. Huzooraa remarked that taking charge of 194 people should not take long.
Maal
Huzooraa instructed the Qaid Maal to obtain exact data regarding how many members were earning, what their income was and whether they were paying according to the prescribed rate. Huzooraa emphasised that merely stating a total figure or showing an increase from the previous year was not a sufficient argument; the reality of the situation must be known. He directed that those who cannot pay should be known and proper permission should be sought, while those who can pay must be encouraged to pay at the full rate.
Ishaat
The Qaid Ishaat shared that the majlis produces a publication twice a year, comprising approximately 70 pages in Urdu and German.
Waqf-e-Jadid
The Qaid Waqf-e-Jadid reported that the ansar contribute more than one-third of the total Jamaat’s contribution in Switzerland.
Tajnid and local outreach
The Qaid Tajnid confirmed that the total membership was 194 and that they were certain of this figure. He explained that they visit smaller towns to coordinate with local representatives and verify the lists. He noted he also serves as the local president for Geneva, which has 11 members.
Ithaar
While speaking with the Qaid Ithaar, Huzooraa advised that charitable efforts should be channelled in a way that motivates others and builds a culture of sacrifice. Huzooraa encouraged practical initiatives such as supporting the needy in under-resourced parts of the world, including parts of Pakistan and Africa, through projects such as assistance to medical needs and provision of clean water.
Huzooraa said:
“Have you ever carried out any project? Have you built a hut anywhere in Africa, installed a hand pump or helped a patient? […] If you do such things privately, then do them through the Ansarullah as well; it will be a means of reward. Then tell the ansar that you have contributed and they should also do something. This is the responsibility of the Qaid Ithaar: read the rules and act upon them and motivate people.”
Tabligh
The Qaid Tabligh explained that exhibitions had been held in two major locations, including Winterthur, with approximately 100 visitors over the day.
Huzooraa advised that exhibitions alone are insufficient. Huzooraa urged the development of a comprehensive and extensive tabligh programme which includes literature distribution, flyers and structured one-to-one engagement, alongside the involvement of a broader group of ansar in tabligh work.
Talim
The Qaid Talim reported that online classes are held every Thursday, covering the Holy Quran and books such as Kashti-e-Nuh, with an average attendance of 35 members. Huzooraa observed that if these 35 members truly acted upon the teachings, it could bring about a revolution in Switzerland. For the remaining members, Huzooraa advised sending short passages and excerpts via WhatsApp on various topics. For this, Huzooraa recommended compilations like The Essence of Islam (in English) or Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani Apni Tahrirun Ki Ru Se (in Urdu), which organise excerpts by topic. Huzooraa added that this effort should complement the work of the Tarbiyat Department.
Tahrik-e-Jadid
The Qaid Tahrik-e-Jadid mentioned efforts to ensure the Ansarullah contribution remains at least one-third and, where possible, exceeds it.
Guidance to local zu‘ama
A number of zu‘ama introduced themselves from local majalis. Huzooraa offered guidance appropriate to the realities of smaller majalis and reminded office-bearers that even small numbers can be transformed into model majalis through consistent worship, unity and regular contact.
Jamaat office-bearers
Towards the conclusion, Huzooraa asked whether any participants were members of the national amila. A number of Jamaat office-bearers introduced themselves, including national and local representatives.
Concluding guidance
In his concluding advice, Huzooraa reminded them that although they are a small Jamaat, they should strive to be an “ideal Jamaat.” He emphasised that the Jamaat must be strengthened through unity and mutual goodwill. Huzooraa advised that rather than becoming entangled in minor disputes and complaints, office-bearers should focus on reformation, build mutual cooperation and work collectively for the progress of the Jamaat. Huzooraa highlighted that Ansarullah represents a mature age group and should therefore guide others with wisdom, patience and practical example, beginning from within their own households.
Huzooraa advised:
“Make an effort to turn your small Jamaat into an ideal Jamaat. Instead of pulling one another down over trivial matters, instead of quarrelling, work together as one. […] Leave all the petty matters and unite to work together. When unity is created, when you work as one, only then will blessings descend.
“Majlis Ansarullah are mature in age; you should explain things to everyone and carry everyone along – each and every one of the ansar. You are roughly one-fifth of the Jamaat’s [membership]. If you provide proper tarbiyat in your homes – among your children, the women in your households and your brothers – then a great deal will be set right.
“Try to keep the system running. Do not start fights over small matters. […]”
At this, Sadr Sahib said that no complaints would come in the future, upon which Huzooraa further stated:
“Do not sit with complaints concealed. Complaints coming in is, in fact, a good thing. Say, ‘We will bring about reform’; do not say, ‘No complaints will come.’”
Sadr Sahib requested prayers on behalf of the majlis, including for those who were unable to attend due to illness and conveyed their salaam. The mulaqat concluded with a group photograph. Huzooraa also graciously distributed pens to the participants.
