Hazrat Amirul Momineen, Khalifatul Masih Vaa delivers a faith-inspiring second-day address at Jalsa Salana UK 2021

Hadeeqatul Mahdi, 7 August 2021

At around 5 pm Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vaa arrived at the main Jalsa Gah and greeted everyone with the greetings of assalamo alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. The session then started with the recitation of the Holy Quran, followed by its Urdu translation from Tafsir-e-Saghir:

وَ مَنۡ اَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ افۡتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰہِ الۡکَذِبَ وَ ہُوَ یُدۡعٰۤی اِلَی الۡاِسۡلَامِ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ لَا یَہۡدِی الۡقَوۡمَ الظّٰلِمِیۡنَ – یُرِیۡدُوۡنَ لِیُطۡفِـُٔوۡا نُوۡرَ اللّٰہِ بِاَفۡوَاہِہِمۡ وَ اللّٰہُ مُتِمُّ نُوۡرِہٖ وَ لَوۡ کَرِہَ الۡکٰفِرُوۡنَ – ہُوَ الَّذِیۡۤ اَرۡسَلَ رَسُوۡلَہٗ بِالۡہُدٰی وَ دِیۡنِ الۡحَقِّ لِیُظۡہِرَہٗ عَلَی الدِّیۡنِ کُلِّہٖ وَ لَوۡ کَرِہَ الۡمُشۡرِکُوۡنَ – یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا ہَلۡ اَدُلُّکُمۡ عَلٰی تِجَارَۃٍ تُنۡجِیۡکُمۡ مِّنۡ عَذَابٍ اَلِیۡمٍ – تُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰہِ وَ رَسُوۡلِہٖ وَ تُجَاہِدُوۡنَ فِیۡ سَبِیۡلِ اللّٰہِ بِاَمۡوَالِکُمۡ وَ اَنۡفُسِکُمۡ ؕ ذٰلِکُمۡ خَیۡرٌ لَّکُمۡ اِنۡ کُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ – یَغۡفِرۡ لَکُمۡ ذُنُوۡبَکُمۡ وَ یُدۡخِلۡکُمۡ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِیۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِہَا الۡاَنۡہٰرُ وَ مَسٰکِنَ طَیِّبَۃً فِیۡ جَنّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ؕ ذٰلِکَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡعَظِیۡمُ – وَ اُخۡرٰی تُحِبُّوۡنَہَا ؕ نَصۡرٌ مِّنَ اللّٰہِ وَ فَتۡحٌ قَرِیۡبٌ ؕ وَ بَشِّرِ الۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ –

“But who could do greater wrong than one who forges the lie against Allah while he is called to Islam? Allah guides not the wrongdoing people. They desire to extinguish the light of Allah with (the breath of) their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, even if the disbelievers hate (it). He it is Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religions, even if those who associate partners (with God) hate (it). O ye who believe! shall I point out to you a bargain that will save you from a painful punishment? That you believe in Allah and His Messenger, and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your persons. That is better for you, if you did but know. He will forgive you your sins, and make you enter the Gardens through which streams flow, and pure and pleasant dwellings in Gardens of Eternity. That is the supreme triumph. And (He will bestow) another (favour) which you love: help from Allah and a near victory. So give glad tidings to the believers.” (Surah as-Saff, Ch. 61: V. 8-14)

Next, “Ey Khuda ey kaarsaaz…”, an Urdu poem of the Promised Messiahas, was presented. Then, Hazrat Amirul Momineenaa came to the podium and once again conveyed his salaam to everyone. He then recited, Tashahhud, Ta’awwuz, Surah al-Fatihah and delivered a most faith-inspiring address, a brief summary of which is as follows:

In this session, I usually recount some of the blessings of Allah the Exalted upon the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, that we see and experience throughout the year. Despite only summaries being prepared of these blessings, I will only be able to present a portion of some of the facts and figures. 

Establishment of new Chapters [Jamaats]: 

By the grace of Allah the Exalted, this year, apart from Pakistan, 403 new chapters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat were established. In addition to these new jamaats, the seed of Ahmadiyyat was planted in 829 locations for the first time, which means that a few or a couple of Ahmadis have entered the Jamaat in those locations. Nigeria is on top of the list of those countries where new jamaats have been established. In Nigeria, 89 new jamaats have been established over the past year. Then, there are other countries of Africa and Europe. 

With relation to incidents of the establishment of new Jamaats, the missionary-in-charge of São Tomé reports that only three islands of the country of São Tomé are inhabited. Jamaats have been established in the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and mosques have also been constructed there. By the Grace of Allah, this year, the Jamaat was also established on the third island by the grace of Allah. Our missionaries went there. They preached and as a result of their preaching, ten Christians converted to Islam Ahmadiyyat. It is a small island with a population of less than a hundred. 

The missionary in Tanzania writes that some of our missionaries went to one of the villages of the country and they preached and propagated the faith. The people in the locality listened to the message of the Community very attentively and 60 people entered the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Upon this, the local imam phoned them and said that your people are coming here and creating disorder and people from amongst my community are entering the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. The imam started arguing with the local Ahmadi missionary and he said, what are you doing, trying to convert people from my locality? Because of course, the Muslim clerics are always concerned about losing their people as they earn their bread through those people. So, our Ahmadi missionary started preaching to that imam. As a result of the debate with the local imam, the people gathered there and started listening to the debate and thirty further people entered into the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. That Sunni imam is sitting in his mosque idle because only a handful of people come to his mosque, whereas hundred or close to hundred people have formed a new chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community on that area and the nizam of the Community is established. 

In Guinea-Conakry, the clerics of the Islamic League had threatened the local people of a village with regard to Ahmadis, saying that Ahmadis were disbelievers, God forbid. They said that Ahmadis did not have any relation with Islam and so people should not listen to them. However, when the message of the Promised Messiahas was preached to them and they were told of the prophecies related to the Latter-Day Messiah and Imam Mahdi, the entire village along with the local imam accepted Ahmadiyyat. The system of the Jamaat has now been established there. However the clerics of the Islamic organisation kept threatening the local villagers, they said that they had found new pleasure in their prayers, which they were unaware of before accepting Ahmadiyyat and that they would remain steadfast on this path. 

[These are just a couple from countless other examples.]

Establishment of new Mosques: 

In terms of the establishment of new mosques, which includes mosques that the Jamaat constructed as well as those that came into the possession of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community during the year, their number is 211. Ghana is on top of the list with most mosques being constructed there. Then, there are also other countries.

In Belize, the first Ahmadiyya mosque has been constructed, which spans over an area of two acres and has a capacity of 220 worshippers. Its foundation was laid in December 2019. It is a very beautiful mosque. It has a mission house, the missionary’s office, a library as well as a guest room. There are two highways that go out from Belize City, one going towards Mexico and the other one towards Guatemala. This Noor Mosque is located on the highway that goes towards Guatemala. It is located at a distance of two miles from the city’s centre. After the mosque in Guatemala, this is the second purpose-built mosque of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Central America. For the construction of this mosque, three brothers from Canada went there to volunteer. They also participated considerably in the construction of another mosque in Canada. There are Mansoor Sahib, Manzoor Sahib, Fareed Sahib and Mudassir Sahib. In any case, they went to Belize and worked towards the construction of the mosque. At first, the construction was estimated to cost 2.5 million US dollars. In the end, it only cost 125,000 US dollars as a result of these voluteers’ efforts. The local people also offered significant sacrifices for this project.

In Zion, in the United States of America, there was a plan to construct a monument. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Zion wanted to make a monument with relation to the prophecy of the Promised Messiahas. Ten acres of land was purchased about two years ago and there is a plan to construct a mosque, an exhibition hall and so on. It was estimated that it would cost $4 million and with the grace of Allah, this amount was collected. The women of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in the United States of America contributed about $1.7 million. And they said that they would give this amount. It is quite a large mosque. The land is about 6000 square feet. There are different floors for men and women and different halls. This will be the first mosque in the City of Zion. Then an exhibition hall will also be built. The prophecy of the Promised Messiahas will also be shown on screens in this exhibition hall. There is also a minaret being made in the same fashion as the Minarat-ul-Masih in Qadian. This is quite a large project being done by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, USA. May Allah the Exalted enable them to rapidly complete it. 

[These are just a couple from countless other examples.]

Establishment Mission Houses and Centres of Tabligh: 

By the Grace of Allah the Exalted, there has been an increase of 123 new mission houses and preaching centres. Ghana is on top of the list of those countries where most of the mission houses have been established. Then, there are also other countries of Africa, Europe and also parts of Russia.

In a Macedonian city, the first Ahmadiyya mission house, Baitul Ahad, has been constructed. It is now complete. For the foundation stone ceremony, a brick from Qadian was brought over and I sent it to them after praying over it. This is a three-story centre. There is a kitchen. There is a prayer room, a place for ablution, a store and there are many other facilities. There is also a place for a caretaker to stay. On the second story, there is a mosque area. Men and women have separate places to pray and there is also a separate place for women for ablution. Then, on the third story, there is a missionary’s residence and office. This is also a very beautiful building that has been constructed. 

[These are just a couple from countless other examples.]

Raqeem Press:

Then there is the Raqeem Press. Printing work is also bring undertaken in certain African countries. By the grace of Allah, they are doing good work. More than 315,000 books have been printed through the press that is in Farnham. Leaflets and pamphlets are in addition to this number.

Wakalat-e-Tasnif:

According to Wakalat-e-Tasneef, the Italian translation of the Holy Quran has been revised. The Italian Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has done a lot of work in this regard. Moreover, there are different translations of the Holy Quran. Various books of the Promised Messiahas have also been published by them such as The Holy War, Hallmarks of the Saints and Testimony of the Holy Quran etc. Some books are also being revised by them. There are books of the Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Ira that are being translated and will be published this year. Likewise, there is Chinese literature. The late Usman Chou Sahib also prepared a book during his lifetime which is being published. 

Ruhani Khazain, the books of the Promised Messiahas are being published in beautiful print. The printing of these 23 volumes is excellent. They are well-made, yet inexpensive. You can contact the bookstore here or the department of publications and obtain these books. 

There are also incidents of conversion upon reading the books of the Promised Messiahas. For example, the missionary from Australia writes that a young Australian had been learning about Ahmadiyyat for a year. We gave him The Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam, about which, after just a few days of reading, he said that this had astonished him and left him completely amazed. He said that the different natural and moral states, as explained by the Promised Messiahas, is something that he could have never have imagined. He said that he could have finished this book in one day but the themes and topics were so profound that sometimes he had to read a page repeatedly and that the book helped him become a better human being.

[This is just one from countless other examples.]

Wakalat-e-Ishaat:

According to reports from 92 countries, 384 different books and pamphlets in 39 languages were published to the number of 3.68 million copies. This includes Arabic, Bangla, German, Indonesian, Swahili and so many other languages. 

Wakalat-e-Ishaat Tarseel:

This is the department of distribution in publications for are responsible for the dissemination of the publications. According to their report, books were sent to different countries and they number over 75,745. Then, there is other literature that is also sent. In 90 countries of the world, more than 591 libraries and regional libraries were established. Books are sent from London and Qadian. A lot of literature is also published from Qadian. 

Exhibitions, Bookstalls & Book fairs:

According to the reports, 1,75,000 people attended around 1970 exhibitions and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community participated in 2747 book fairs last year or bookstalls were held. 

At a prominent book fair in India, a Nepalese individual came and he said that previously he had considered Islam a distasteful religion but when he came to learn about Islam from the Ahmadiyya Muslim community at the book fair, it completely changed his mind and he said that Islam actually gives peaceful teachings and this is a message that needs to be conveyed to other people too so that they come to know the reality of Islam. Only the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is truly conveying the peaceful message of Islam.

[This is just one from countless other examples.]

Distribution of Leaflets:

6.98 million leaflets were distributed in 103 countries and through them, the message of Islam Ahmadiyyat reached 16.8 million people. Germany is on top of the list of the countries, which distributed the highest number of leaflets. Then comes the UK and other countries.

A missionary from Tanzania writes that there was a lot of opposition in a village and it is very difficult to preach, but we went there and we distributed the new leaflets and the next day an individual called us. He invited us to come to their village and tell them more about Ahmadiyyat. So, we went there and preached and five people converted and accepted Islam Ahmadiyyat. In this way, by the Grace of Almighty Allah, where we thought it was difficult to preach, through the means of leaflets, Allah gave us five bai’ats.

[This is just one from countless other examples.]

Press & Media:

Then there is the Press and Media Office. By the grace of God Almighty, they too are carrying out very good work. They had 102 news and articles published in various newspapers. According to a conservative estimate, the message of Islam reached more than 20 million people through their efforts. They also had many programmes on television, and also met with many journalists during the year. 

Press and Media

OpenQuran.com, the new search engine of the Holy Quran has been created by them, the second version of which is being inaugurated at this year’s Jalsa Salana. Then there is also the ReadQuran.app which has been created. There are numerous books available on the website; 316 in English, 1000 in Urdu, 71 on other platforms such as Apple etc. They have also prepared 10 new audiobooks. Then there is other content published by them and they are doing a lot of work.

Alislam

MTA International:

Then there is MTA International. By the grace of God, they have eight channels running 24/7. They have permanent staff and also many volunteers. They are doing simultaneous translations into 17 different languages. 

There is also an MTA Ghana that has been established. On 15 January the digital channel, MTA Ghana was established. A lot of work is being done through MTA Ghana. It is also being viewed via antennas. Various TV channels take MTA programmes and show them on their TV channels. 

Then, there is MTA Africa, which has increased in its scope quite considerably. There are two channels in various African languages, which are being broadcast. There are no 11 branches of MTA Africa. The Wahhab Adam studio was upgraded this year and the Gambia studio is also doing a lot of excellent work. 

After watching programmes on MTA, by the grace of Allah, many people also convert to Islam Ahmadiyyat:

The missionary-in-charge Cameroon writes that 40 km from the capital there’s a small town where a person converted to Islam Ahmadiyyat. He informed us that for some time, he had been watching MTA through YouTube and he had learnt a lot about the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. He eventually became satisfied, that this Community is truthful and Hazrat Mirza Ghulam is the Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi. One of his relatives who live in Ivory Coast, who is familiar with Ahmadis, informed me of the phone number of the Ahmadiyya missionary. Now, this person has converted along with his family and he regularly listens to the Friday sermon. 

[This is just one from countless other examples.]

Ahmadiyya Radio Stations:

Right now, the radio stations of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community number 27. This includes 17 in Mali, four in Burkina Faso and three in Sierra Leone. Then, there are other countries that have one or two. There is a lot of work happening for tabligh or propagation through these stations. There is an Internet radio station in Turkish which has also been established, and they are doing good work. 

This year, through 5,068 TV programmes we had one at 1,877 hours of airtime on other channels. Then, through the various Ahmadiyya radio stations in different countries, we had over 47,800 hours of programmes and 10,832 programmes were broadcast. According to a conservative estimate, we conveyed the message of Islam Ahmadiyyat to more than 330 million people.

There are also faith-inspiring incidents of conversion as a result of these.

The missionary from Mali says that, whenever we speak with non-Ahmadis about Africa, they believe that as a result of a lack of knowledge people enter into the Ahmadiyya Community. This is an utter misconception. For example, in one of our regions, a short while ago, there was a teacher by the name of Zakaria who was able to accept Islam Ahmadiyyat. He is proficient in English and French. At the time of his conversion, he said that he had been listening to the Ahmadiyya radio for the last seven years and after studying Ahmadiyyat from every angle, it was only then that he decided to convert. He said, “Today the biggest reality is the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.” 

[This is just one from countless other examples.]

HF

New Converts:

Reconnecting with the new converts and re-communicating with them is another important task. A lack of contact over a prolonged period of time can cause such contacts to be lost and these converts can move away. Nigeria has done the most work in this regard. Then there is Mali, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Cameroon, Ivory Coast and so on. 

In 6765 Jamaats, 30,755 tarbiyati classes were held for new converts.

Bai’ats:

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic this year, although we were not able to preach in the open, Allah the Almighty has granted us 1,25,221 bai’ats, which is an increase of more than 13,000 over the last year. [There are countries from right across the globe, from Afghanistan to Austria, where conversions were achieved.]

The most bai’ats that happened this year were in Guinea-Conakry, which were more than 25,000, followed by Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Tanzania and so on.

Jalsa Salana 2021 Saturday 6Y9A7129
AMA UK | Jalsa UK 2021

The missionary from Russia writes that, in the previous year, we were able to contact a Russian acquaintance. He has studied Ahmadiyyat quite extensively, including the works of the Promised Messiahas. On 23 November 2020, he converted. He did the bai’at and entered the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. In the beginning, we explained to him that you should pray and when you pray, you should supplicate for a sign. He said I do not need a sign. Like Hazrat Abu Bakr, I accept the true path. Therefore, he did the bai’at.

The missionary from Mexico reports that a youngster was trying to learn about Islam Ahmadiyyat for a number of years. The mother had already converted a few years before. One day we were speaking to him about Islam and after a few questions, he suddenly said that I would like to become an Ahmadi. Upon asking, he said that he had been learning about Islam for a number of years and he had actually become an atheist at one point. However, Islam had removed all of his doubts and misconceptions. He then did the bai’at

[These are just a couple from countless other examples.]

Then there are also people, who convert upon seeing true dreams.

Our missionary in Argentina, Marwan Sarwar Gill Sahib, writes that a young man has done the bai’at this year. He is from Buenos Aires. He had dedicated his life to become a Christian priest, but during his studies, he started having doubts and suspicions regarding the Christian teachings to such a degree that after four years he had to leave the seminary course. He could not find satisfactory answers in the Christian doctrine, so he started studying different religions. He became interested more and more in Islam and Holy Quran. When he contacted the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, he was invited to come to the mission house. When he reached the mission house and he saw the picture of the Promised Messiahas for the first time, he immediately started asking questions. The missionary thought that, first of all, I should inform him of the basic teachings of Islam but he insisted that first of all introduce me to the Promised Messiahas. So, I explained to him in detail that he is the same Messiah and Mahdi who has been prophesied to come by all major religions. Upon this, the young man expressed nothing else and left. Then, a few weeks later, he contacted me again and said that he was now a Muslim for the last two weeks and now he wants to do the bai’at. I suggested to him to study a bit more but he responded that I became satisfied on the day I saw the picture of the Promised Messiahas because I already had a connection with that photograph before and when I saw this photograph, I came to realise that I have found a way to reach Allah through the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. He then said that, two years ago, when he was in a deep search for truth, he saw in a dream that there is an individual who is explaining to him the ways to find peace and security and he was explaining to him repeatedly that if you want peace, follow my advice. At this time, I did not have any familiarity with Islam not could I find anything more about the individual I saw in my dream because he was a stranger to me but when I came to your mission house and saw the picture of the Promised Messiahas, I was immediately reminded of the dream that I saw two years ago. Thus, I became completely assured and certain that I had reached the ultimate destination. He then converted and faced opposition from his family because his father is a very strict Christian. They completely disconnected from him. He says that now I have a spiritual family.

[This is just one from countless other examples.]

Then, there are also bai’ats as a result of the propaganda of the opponents and also as a result of the acceptance of prayers. Moreover, from those who are not Ahmadis, or not even Muslims, there are countless positive impressions and feedback with regards to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. There are so many different accounts. I have only presented a few highlights.

The Promised Messiahas, while addressing his opponents, states:

“Desist and fear His wrath, and know that you have set a seal on your evil deeds. If God were with you, you would have no need for such deceptions. The prayer of only one of you would have been sufficient to destroy me. However, none of your prayers could ascend to Heaven. Rather, the effect of your prayers was that you are diminishing day by day […] Do you not see that you are decreasing and we are increasing? If your steps had been on the path of truth, had your end looked like this?” (Nuzul-ul-Masih [Urdu], Ruhani Khazain Vol. 18, p. 409)

May Allah the Exalted may give wisdom to such opponents and to the world, so that they may understand the true message of Islam Ahmadiyyat. May they accept the one sent by God, enabling them to put the affairs of their world and the Hereafter right.

After this, Huzooraa led everyone in silent prayer and returned to his residence.
