Islamabad, Tilford, UK, 9 December 2024: Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Germany’s office missionaries and waqifeen-e-zindagi were blessed with the opportunity to have an in-person mulaqat with Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vaa at Islamabad, UK.
Prior to the mulaqat, Hazrat Amirul Momineenaa inaugurated Jamaat’s Tajik website www.islamahmadiyya-tj.org and led everyone in a silent prayer.
As the mulaqat commenced, Huzooraa addressed Amir Jamaat Germany, Abdullah Uwe Wagishauser Sahib, enquiring about the delegation’s tour. Amir Sahib reported that the programme had been intensive and highly beneficial.
Huzooraa then addressed the delegation, providing comprehensive guidance on various aspects of their responsibilities as murabbian, muballighin and waqifeen-e-zindagi of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya.
Spirit of waqf and recognising Allah’s favour
Huzooraa began by reminding the missionaries and waqifeen that their service is a divine favour from Allah, not a privilege they bestow upon the Jamaat. He said:
“The essential point is that a missionary must always understand that the life they have devoted is for the sake of Allah the Exalted, not as a favour bestowed upon Him. Allah the Exalted states, ‘They say, ‘We have accepted Islam.’’ Allah replies, ‘Your acceptance of Islam is not a favour; rather, it is Allah’s favour upon you.’ [Surah al-Hujurat, Ch.49: V.18] Therefore, every missionary should reflect that they have not conferred any favour upon the Jamaat, but rather Allah has favoured them by granting them the opportunity to dedicate their lives, to become missionaries, to acquire some measure of religious knowledge, and now they must use these blessings in the finest manner so that the true right of their gratitude can be fulfilled, for without expressing gratitude to Allah the Exalted, this right cannot be discharged. And expressing gratitude to Allah means surrendering and sacrificing everything for the Jamaat, no longer entertaining thoughts like, ‘I do not have this particular facility,’ or ‘I am lacking that convenience.’
“Murabbian and muballighin of earlier times, who also served in Africa, used to receive a subsistence allowance of only five pounds, and even that reached them with great difficulty. It is not that things were cheaper in those days and that five pounds sufficed; it did not. Still, to produce literature – for instance, take Maulana Nazir Ahmad Mubashshir Sahib – he had no money in the mission’s treasury to prepare literature. So he would obtain a medicine called ‘Amrit Dhara,’ sell it, and with the profits publish literature. Thus, he became one of the renowned murabbian and muballighin. Similarly, Maulana Nazir Ahmad Ali Sahib gained recognition. Later, in Europe, Karam Ilahi Zafar Sahib stayed in Spain, and he too survived by selling perfume, just managing to get by. Even up until recent times, in our own era, the allowance was such that after fifteen days it would be completely exhausted, and making ends meet was difficult. Yet never did a complaint arise that ‘We will leave this work,’ or ‘We have regrets,’ or ‘Why is someone else receiving this facility and not me?’ Rather, the mindset was always that it is Allah’s favour that He granted the opportunity of waqf. This is the spirit every missionary should possess – that Allah the Exalted enabled us to devote our lives. The pledge taken from every member of the Jamaat – that we shall sacrifice our life, wealth, time, and honour – imposes the foremost obligation upon us, who are waqifeen and missionaries, to strive to fulfil it.
“If this spirit prevails, then blessings will descend upon your endeavours. It will also foster a true relationship with Allah the Exalted. Consequently, you will feel drawn toward Him, inclined toward worship, motivated to fulfil Allah’s rights, and inspired to cast off your lethargy. Through supplications, you will receive the strength to achieve this. For this purpose, there are nawafil, and there is the proper observance of the prescribed prayers [salat] – performing them with due care and beauty. You deliver lectures, for example, citing the incident of a Companion whom the Holy Prophetsa sent back three or four times, instructing him to return and perform his salat properly. [Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Adhan, Hadith 757] But have you ever pondered whether you yourselves are offering your prayers with such careful attention? If you have not, it means you have not done justice to your work, your time, or your pledge. You deliver speeches and present examples – sometimes an example comes to mind spontaneously – before or after doing so, have you ever reflected, ‘I am about to present this example, but to what extent do I practice it? What is my own standard, my own model?’”
Deepening one’s relationship with Allah and readiness for sacrifices
Huzooraa further elaborated on the need for a profound personal connection with Allah. He emphasised that true dedication manifests when one is prepared to sacrifice every comfort for the sake of faith. He said:
“The most important matter for missionaries and those who have devoted their lives is first to cultivate a true bond with Allah the Exalted, and then to be ever ready to offer every sacrifice for His sake. This should not remain a mere [verbal] pledge. Rather, one must assess whether, if a practical opportunity arises, one can indeed demonstrate and exemplify that deed. Or, would one’s mind instead remain preoccupied with one’s wife and children, one’s home, or certain worldly comforts? Those who are willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of Allah the Exalted are never abandoned by Him. He continues to bestow His grace and honours them with His rewards. Yes, trials may come at times. Tests may appear along the journey – at times through certain colleagues, sometimes through superiors, and sometimes certain matters arise from the Centre that cause great concern. Yet if you bow before Allah the Exalted, weep before Him, ask of Him, present yourselves before Him in complete purity and sincerity, and keep your intentions unblemished, then Allah the Exalted dispels those trials, and a person emerges from these examinations strengthened. These are the qualities that a missionary ought to possess. When this spirit is kindled within, we achieve success. Without it, we are left only with claims that we will conquer the world. How can the world be conquered in such a manner?
Huzooraa then enquired about the number of missionaries in Germany and the country’s total population. It was reported that there are 126 missionaries and a population of 80 million. At this, Huzooraa remarked:
“[One hundred and twenty-six individuals], of which only 65 are in the field, are clearly not sufficient to convince a population of 80 million. So, what additional measure must we take in this regard? We must strengthen our relationship with Allah the Exalted! May He open such paths and grant such blessings to your words that they leave an impact upon people. This will only happen if you bow before Him in complete sincerity and seek His help.
“This task is enormous and should always remain at the forefront of our minds. It should not be the case that you feel content simply by providing tarbiyat to the 300, 400, or 500 members in your local jamaat, delivering a sermon, leading a few prayers, and then declaring yourselves ‘exhausted after a hard day’s work.’ This is not enough. You must set the target of bringing an entire nation to the feet of Muhammadsa, the Messenger of Allah, of establishing the Oneness of God in this land, and of fulfilling the true obligation of conveying Islam’s message.
“Can our current efforts achieve this? Are our knowledge and actions at a standard that allows us to meet this target? Is our bond with Allah of such a degree that He blesses every endeavour we undertake? Are we truly striving, to the fullest extent possible, to give precedence to faith over worldly matters? Reflect upon all these questions and contemplate them deeply.”
Pursuit of knowledge is essential for spiritual and practical growth
After underscoring spiritual devotion, Huzooraa highlighted the critical role of continuous learning, encouraging the missionaries to broaden their religious and secular understanding so they can effectively nurture the faith of others. He said:
“Wherever you elevate the standard of your worship, you must also strive to enhance your knowledge.” After this, Huzooraa enquired how many of the attendees had read all of the Promised Messiah’sas books, how many had read half of his books, how many had read 40 of his books and how many had read at least ten books. Following this, Huzooraa stated:
“Erstwhile, boys would travel from Africa to study at Jamia [Ahmadiyya] in Pakistan, and among them were some who surpassed even the Pakistani murabbian. During their time at Jamia, they saved up money from their pocket expenses to purchase volumes of Ruhani Khazain, as well as books of Hadith. They not only read them, but also made notes and then utilised these materials in the field. Their standards of righteousness are remarkably high.
“These qualities cannot be attained through personal effort alone. In this age, Allah the Exalted appointed the Promised Messiahas as the guide and Mahdi, that is, the source and means of divine guidance. Therefore, reading his literature, to the fullest extent possible, is essential for us. There is no merit in merely publishing the books. Your Secretary Ishaat may report that all volumes of Ruhani Khazain have been translated [into German], or that a certain number of books have been published. Yet if your own missionaries have not read them – those who previously claimed difficulty due to the Urdu language, but who now have that literature in German as well – then what benefit did you derive from publication? Will you hand this literature to people, saying, ‘Read this book; we have not read it ourselves, but perhaps you might benefit from it’?
“When you present these books to the world, do you ever pause to consider, ‘We are giving this book to others, but have we read it ourselves?’ Or do you simply announce that a certain amount of literature has been published? The secretary and his team declare this with great pride, and the Amir Sahib is delighted that they have achieved this task, having sold literature worth two, four or six hundred thousand euros. Yet what value lies in simply selling it? Earning money is not our purpose. Our aim is to instil faith in people’s hearts, to bring them towards Allah the Exalted, and to acquaint them with Islam’s beautiful teachings. Completing a single task, or just an aspect of it, does not mean the work is complete. For that, you must first establish your own example. […]
“You have become missionaries, devoted your lives, and spent seven years studying in Jamia. Did you fail to acquire the very religious knowledge for which you dedicated yourselves? Along with that, you should have also gained other forms of knowledge. You have not developed the habit of reading. Your approach has become too casual; you suffice with whatever small excerpts appear on the internet, the same snippets any ordinary person could find. Have you never felt a desire within yourselves to spend a certain number of hours reading religious literature, to read a certain number of general knowledge books, to examine the newspapers, to understand contemporary issues, and through this broaden your awareness, enlighten your mind, and gain insight into the world? Then you would know how to apply your religious knowledge and how to answer the worldly questions that arise.
“These are the matters at hand. A missionary should possess a certain fervour and passion. If that exists, success will follow. If it is absent, then you are merely claiming to be missionaries. […]”
After this, Huzooraa specifically drew the missionaries’ attention to their responsibility to lead prayers and teach the Holy Quran to children and said:
“If you fail to teach children the Holy Quran, if you do not acquire religious knowledge yourselves, and if you display apathy in your tabligh efforts, then what is the benefit of all this?”
Jamaat’s investment in waqifeen and their responsibilities
To give context to these expectations, Huzooraa reminded attendees of the substantial efforts and resources the Jamaat invests in training and supporting them. This realisation, he explained, should inspire an even greater sense of responsibility and commitment. He said:
“Consider how, despite its limited resources, the Ahmadiyya Jamaat has invested so much in you. For seven years you received your education, and now look at the many facilities you enjoy.”
Huzooraa then highlighted the comparison between the allowances provided to Jamaat’s missionaries and the earnings of professionals in other fields. He explained that, even from a worldly perspective, the benefits offered to Jamaat missionaries surpass the earnings of many who, despite their income, face significant expenses like housing, etc. In contrast, the conveniences and support provided to Jamaat missionaries relieve them of many such burdens and worries, underscoring the Jamaat’s investment and care for its missionaries and waqifeen.
Hence, Huzooraa said, “Even in worldly terms, you are far better off than many others. When these conditions prevail, one must develop a sense of awareness: consider what sacrifices our elders made. Compare their efforts with ours. What did they achieve, and what are we accomplishing? What facilities did they have, and how diligently did they work despite their limited means? What have we done, given all the support and conveniences at our disposal? These questions should be kept in mind by every life-devotee and every missionary. When this realisation takes root, then observe how you can bring about a true revolution in Germany.
“Otherwise, for every minor question, you might ask, ‘What is the answer to this?’ You will receive a brief reply here or there, from me, from a senior missionary, from someone else, or from your Amir Sahib, regarding a worldly matter, the Missionary-in-Charge will answer your questions, or some other knowledgeable person will provide you with an answer. But that deeper investigation, the careful reading that brings true understanding, only comes if you devote five or six hours daily to study. And when you find these answers, a thirst for further knowledge will arise. With that will come a greater inclination to study more. As you provide these answers and bring reassurance to others, your own satisfaction will grow. You will realise, ‘I have comforted this person with knowledge.’ This will further motivate you to acquire greater understanding, to reassure even more people, and to spread the message of Islam Ahmadiyyat to every segment of society, drawing them closer to Allah the Exalted. Such efforts transform into revolutions.”
Diligence, accountability, and time management
Building on the foundational principles of faith, knowledge, and gratitude, Huzooraa turned his attention to the importance of diligence, accountability, and effective time management, emphasising that a missionary’s success depends not on numbers but on tangible outcomes and self-discipline. He said:
“What difference does it make if sixty missionaries are working here, sixty-five there, or sixty-one elsewhere? […] What is a missionary’s actual output? What is a missionary’s output in the field? What is a missionary’s output in the office? Suppose he comes and works for four hours – although even that may not be the case – and then spends the rest of the time with his feet propped up on the table, or forms a little group and then declares, ‘It’s tea break now; let’s have some tea.’ During the tea break, he sits and chats for an hour, and that’s all. He then remarks, ‘Oh dear, I am exhausted now.’ It’s then time for the Zuhr prayer, [after which he eats lunch and remarks,] ‘Let’s take a little rest because we ate more than usual today.’ He takes a half-hour or forty-five-minute rest, then evening approaches. Next, he says, ‘Look, now the children are crying; I must pick them up from school. My wife mentioned she’s not feeling well today, and she needs some help at home. Let’s go!’ And off he goes.
“Reflect on all these things and learn to manage your time. The true remedy for improving your time management is to examine your daily schedule. At what time did you wake up this morning? How early did you rise? Did you offer any nawafil? These days, after all, the nights are long, so it is quite easy to offer nawafil. Ask yourself, did I offer them? Then, did I perform the Fajr prayer? After that, did I engage in study or recitation of the Holy Quran? How much did I read? How much office work did I complete? How much time did I devote to increasing my religious knowledge? How much time did I spend gaining worldly knowledge? How much time was spent on household duties? How much time, in total, did I devote to prayer throughout the day? If you create a timetable – or even if you do not, simply record where and how long you spent your time each day – then after one week, reassess. Examine how, within these twenty-four hours over the past seven days, you spent your time serving faith, your time in worship, your time for your household, your time for tabligh, and your time for acquiring worldly knowledge. From this, you will discover whether you have made proper use of your time or not. If you have not, how should you improve?
“You are no longer children. By the grace of Allah, all of you are adults. In fact, some have one or two children already, or soon will. So you must think about all these matters yourselves. You are those who have pledged that you will bring about a revolution. Simply singing anthems [taranas] or reciting poems during Jamia will not bring forth a revolution. Revolutions arise through action, and for that, you must identify which methods to adopt. You must explore these methods on your own – where to go and how to preach.”
Inspirational examples of effective tabligh in challenging conditions
To illustrate how passion and resolve can overcome limitations, Huzooraa shared inspiring examples of missionaries who achieved remarkable results in the field of tabligh under challenging circumstances, proving that sincerity, passion, prayer, and creativity transcend material constraints. He said:
“Sometimes, for example, there are no resources available for tabligh. In Ghana, we had a missionary who did not complain as others did, saying, ‘We have no literature, no resources; where should we go and how should we preach?’ Instead, he worked tirelessly despite serving in a very remote area with virtually no facilities. There was a newspaper called Guidance, published by the Jamaat in Ghana. He would take that newspaper and stand by the roadside, continually reciting durud sharif under his breath. When someone passed by, he would hand it to them, and as soon as they accepted it, he would begin preaching. One person led to another, and two led to four, until awareness grew steadily. In the evening, or at some later time, he would invite these people to the mosque, and thus, tabligh gatherings began to form. Gradually, the quality of his outreach soared, and his circle of acquaintances expanded to the point where the entire town knew him. In fact, if any Ahmadi was travelling through the area and asked someone, ‘I need to find the Ahmadiyya mission,’ or mentioned the missionary’s name, that person would immediately direct them, ‘Yes, go that way.’ In a population of two hundred thousand, the people knew him.
“Now consider: how many people know you in your own area? Perhaps five or seven hundred, maybe not even a thousand, whereas ideally, everyone in your vicinity should know who you are. […] At the very least, you should be recognised by ten thousand people in your region. If ten thousand people know you, that means your message could reach a hundred thousand souls. Simply staying at home will accomplish nothing; no work will get done. You must explore opportunities for yourself. You must personally discover what endeavours you ought to undertake.”
Understanding and addressing rapidly changing global challenges
Recognising the enormity of modern challenges, Huzooraa then shifted focus to the global stage, urging that the murabbian must act not only as teachers within their local jamaats but as guiding lights for a world in turmoil. He stressed that this requires a deliberate effort to deepen one’s connection with Allah the Exalted and to engage in meaningful learning. He said:
“Recognise, therefore, that you must sit down and ponder how to deepen your relationship with Allah the Exalted, how to increase your knowledge, and how to advance in both religious and secular learning – at the very least to the extent that you can speak confidently about contemporary issues. Do not simply glance over the internet or a website, saying, ‘This person said this, that person said that,’ and then laugh it off. Reading someone’s [message or post] and offering a quick reply is nothing remarkable. A missionary’s knowledge should be deep and profound. Your practice should be such that your writings appear in magazines, books, and newspapers. Whatever issue arises, you should write on it. If a matter surfaces on social media or elsewhere, your article should be found there too. Only then will it be of any benefit, only then will people know you. If you say that social media is widespread today and many people rely on it, then very well, it may be widespread – but first, you must enrich your own knowledge so that you can participate meaningfully in that medium.
“When an issue or question arises, answer it promptly, and explain what Islam teaches, what Islam says, and how Islam solves that particular issue. Consider the challenges of this era – these contemporary issues – and determine how we must address them, and how we must respond.
“Today we have such tremendous facilities that my voice can travel two thousand miles one way, then two thousand miles back, and you can simultaneously listen to it here [with a live translation] while seated. […] In this advanced world, what should we be doing? Are we fulfilling our obligations accordingly? And now, as global conditions shift, who knows what they will bring about? That is why I have often stated before as well: warn the world in advance, so that those who survive the destruction to come, may say, ‘There were indeed some who tried to alert you to the path you were taking towards ruin.’
“Now everyone is beginning to say it. Leading analysts are stating that the Third World War has already begun; only the nuclear phase has not started yet. On the day nuclear war begins, unimaginable devastation will occur. So there is still time to warn people, to show them what they can do to be spared from this fate. Destruction is already happening – millions are perishing everywhere, in Europe, Russia, America, etc. Frustration is also among the reasons for this. Why do people keep shooting each other in America? Frustration, distance from faith, and restlessness. They may say five hundred, or a thousand, or two thousand, or four thousand have died in Ukraine; they themselves say that fifty thousand have perished so far. Some say even more have died. They say seventy or eighty thousand have died in Russia. Muslims are killing each other; it is said a hundred and fifty thousand have died in Sudan. Then there is Israel. Muslims are also being killed by their enemies. The world, entangled in its own issues, is killing one another. Under these circumstances, how essential it is for us to forge an even stronger bond with Allah the Exalted, to try to save the world and to warn it.
“Simply saying, ‘The Khalifa of the time is praying’ is not sufficient – though indeed, he is praying. Once, a person requested the Holy Prophetsa to pray for him. The Holy Prophetsa replied, ‘You too should pray, thereby assisting my prayers.’ [Sahih Muslim, Kitab as-Salat, Bab fadli s-sujudi wa l-haththi ‘alayh, Hadith 489] So when missionaries are praying collectively, they are supporting the prayers of the Khalifa of the time, and they are aiding all who pray with a unified purpose. Always remember that we have one unified purpose, and when we pray collectively for it – even if at home, through nawafil – these prayers assume a collective dimension, and by finding acceptance before Allah the Exalted, they yield collective results.
“These are the matters that everyone should keep in mind.”
Maintaining and strengthening spiritual resolve
After this, Huzooraa mentioned that those who come here say, “A great change has occurred within us. We have developed a profound bond with the Jamaat’s system, the Jamaat itself, Khilafat, and with Allah.” Huzooraa remarked:
“I tell them that although this connection has formed, it is essential to maintain it. Thus, all of you who have come here, who have heard these counsels and temporarily realised that you ought to do these things, should remember that merely acknowledging ‘we should’ is not sufficient. Rather, there must be consistent and lasting action. That is the key point.”
Amir Sahib, along with the missionaries and waqifeen-e-zindagi, pledged to strive to implement these admonitions. Upon this, Huzooraa prayed, “May Allah the Exalted bless you and may He give you the strength and power to implement it.” [Amin.]
Syrian civil war
Following this, Huzooraa graciously permitted questions. A missionary enquired about the current situation in Syria, seeking Huzoor’saa opinion on the matter.
Huzooraa replied:
“It is commonly stated that [Bashar al-Assad] was exceedingly oppressive and tyrannical. His family ruled for fifty years, so what prevailed in that country was nothing short of a dictatorship. He himself held power for twenty-four years, and before him, his father did. Those people did commit injustices. The prisons there were such that terrible cruelty was inflicted. Though prisons in many Third World countries are sites of oppression, the stories of the atrocities in those Syrian prisons are truly frightening. […] Now it is coming to light that underground prisons were even more horrific than what was previously known. At present, men and women there are celebrating, jubilantly making victory signs, saying that now they can walk the streets and breathe the air of freedom. Everyone had been living in fear.
“This is what happens. All things have a limit, and there was a peak to the tyranny there – by all accounts, it was severe. And when people recount certain incidents, one is compelled to believe it truly was. That regime ended.
“As for the rest, there are three major groups in Syria: Sunnis, Shias, and Kurds. The Kurds have their own rights; they say that they deserve a government, autonomy, and some measure of independence. Yet they too were subjected to oppression, both by Syria and, those in the border regions, by Turkey. They are scattered, not concentrated in one place. Some are in one area, others are near the Turkish border, quite far away, separated by distance, as we hear. Then there are Sunnis, whose rights were also trampled upon. Only the rights of the Shias were upheld, supported by Hezbollah and Iran. When the situation becomes like this, such outcomes follow logically and inevitably. They had to occur, and they did. Tyranny can only go so far.
“Now let us see what these [new people] do. They will not establish justice either; they will commit atrocities as well. After all, they are from the same nation. They have not become Ahmadis who can claim that now they have reformed themselves and will cease to be cruel. They are the same people.
“A journalist once asked me, ‘Why do you not take revenge in Pakistan?’ I replied that we are also from the same people [as other Pakistanis]; among us are Chaudhris, Maliks, Khokhars, Kashmiris […], Pathans, Balochis – we are capable of everything. But we believe in the Promised Messiahas and the Divinely guided Mahdi; we have pledged not to commit wrongdoing nor to support oppression. We have pledged to strive for our own reformation. That is why we do not seek vengeance, though we are capable of it. But as we have pledged allegiance on one hand, we are bound to uphold these virtuous principles. If we were to behave like them, you would say, ‘You are also taking revenge just like the others. What difference is there between you?’ [… In that case,] Allah’s grace would not be with us. After the riots of 1974, a Pathan approached the third Khalifarh and said, ‘Your Holiness, give us permission, and we will avenge ourselves. We will do this and that, even kill them all.’ Huzoorrh listened and then said, ‘Very well, suppose I grant you permission, and you avenge yourselves. Perhaps you will kill a thousand, two thousand, four thousand, or ten thousand people. Maybe you will survive, maybe not. Afterwards, Allah the Exalted will say, ‘Now that they have taken matters into their own hands, I withdraw My help.’ So Allah’s support will be lifted, and [He will say,] ‘You can go on taking revenge amongst yourselves.’’ [Thus, Huzoorrh did not give any such permission.]
“As for these people [in Syria], they do not even have Allah’s support. They are exacting vengeance against one another. This new government that has emerged will also seek revenge. Will its leader establish justice? No. One party will be supported by America, another by Russia, and another by Iran. Before, they formulated their policies shrewdly and strategically: Israel attacked Hamas, devastated Palestine, then weakened Hezbollah, then Iran, who, along with Hezbollah, supported Assad. They were thus weakened. Russia was kept entangled in the war in Ukraine, thus weakening it as well. All these factors combined, reducing the support Assad received, and gave others a chance. America then took advantage of this opportunity […]
“Such events are bound to occur in the world when righteousness disappears, revenge takes hold, the ego flares, humility disappears, and one’s relationship with Allah the Exalted is severed. This is the inevitable consequence. And do you think it will not happen again? Of course, it will. This disturbance will persist indefinitely. Perhaps it will become another Libya. The situation is dire, and it will cause further unrest. If not today, then in ten years, another eruption will occur in some other country. That is why I keep saying that before it is too late, you should assume your responsibilities and warn the world. Even if they do not learn their lesson now, remember that if it is not an atomic war today, it may occur a few years down the line. People’s minds are deteriorating, and such leaders will continue to emerge. […] Conditions are undeniably worsening. That is why a great deal of prayer is needed. We must do our utmost within our means to make people understand and to inform them, for there is no other solution.
“[…] Governments will come and go, and we are not to fight; we are to pray. Our enemies will always exist; they will emerge repeatedly. If you intensify your preaching, the opposition will increase in Germany too. When opposition increases, it is actually beneficial, for it spurs more preaching. At present, one right-wing party or another occasionally stirs some anti-Muslim sentiment, and in that, they may sometimes also target you. However, once open hostility towards the Ahmadiyya Jamaat arises, it will capture people’s attention, and it will become evident that you have indeed been doing your work.”
Presenting Islamic teachings with wisdom
Finally, a missionary highlighted that when presenting a certain argument against the consumption of pork, some Germans say there is no scientific evidence supporting some of the arguments.
Huzooraa first provided detailed arguments explaining the Islamic prohibition of pork. He then explained that the Jamaat’s responsibility is to convey its teachings, not to compel others to accept them. He stated that the prohibition of pork in Islam is not based on a single argument but encompasses various concerns. He advised presenting arguments with wisdom.
Conclusion
In the end, Amir Sahib requested Huzooraa for a group photo, which he graciously permitted and with that, the mulaqat came to an end.
