On 26 February 2023, 122 university and college-going students from Lajna Imaillah Bangladesh were blessed with the opportunity to meet Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih V, may Allah be his Helper, in a virtual mulaqat. The students were granted the opportunity to directly ask Huzooraa questions on a wide range of topics and received valuable guidance and advice in response. The event left a deep impression on all students, who expressed their gratitude and described the experience as life-changing and overwhelmingly meaningful. Below are some of the students’ impressions and sentiments that they shared with Al Hakam after the mulaqat.
Maksuda Akter Rojoni said:
“I have been praying to meet Huzooraa directly since I did my bai’at. I am feeling blessed to be a part of this virtual meeting.”
Nusrat Jahan Chowdhury said:
“It was one of the most blessed days of my life. I got an opportunity to meet our beloved Khalifa. It felt like a dream to me. Although it was a virtual mulaqat, it was so rewarding to me that Huzooraa was communicating with us directly. I realised that an Ahmadi woman’s primary responsibility is to her family. I used to be confused when it came to career and family life. Huzooraa has made it clear that an Ahmadi girl should always choose family over career. We should always be aware that our careers must not disturb our family lives. I will try my best to follow the instructions given by our beloved Khalifa.”
Amatul Jameel Ifa said:
“This was the first time I saw Huzooraa speaking directly to us. It was a very overwhelming moment when I first saw him on screen. Huzooraa answered our questions and provided valuable guidance. We ask Allah to grant us the ability to follow Huzoor’saa advice.”
Jamia Ismita said:
“It was my long-cherished dream to meet and talk with the beloved Huzooraa. Many times, I saw Huzooraa in my dreams and talked to him. Today, my dreams have come true. I talked to Huzooraa directly, and he answered my questions. The feeling cannot be expressed in words. This programme was a blessing for me. The moment I talked to Huzooraa will remain the best and most memorable moment of my life. I will follow his instructions in my future decisions, insha-Allah.”
Saleha Akter Anamika expressed:
“This day will live on in my memory forever. It was my deep desire to talk to Huzooraa one day. I never imagined I’d have the opportunity to meet our Khalifa. Even though I could not talk to him in this mulaqat, when we all conveyed salaam to Huzooraa, it was indeed a big deal for me. I was crying silently the whole time during the mulaqat and every other happy moment in my life felt insignificant compared to the memory that was created here. I was going through a lot in life and could not make decisions. Alhamdulillah, after this mulaqat, I can definitely say I got my desired answers.”
Fariha Masud expressed:
“There are not enough words to explain how I felt to be in this mulaqat with Huzooraa. This questions and answers session was very enlightening and was a reminder for us to give precedence to our Faith over the world, and how we should live our lives as Ahmadi Muslims.”
Amatul Noor Sahee said:
“It was an amazing mulaqat with Huzooraa. Huzooraa gave us such important guidance, which is very essential for us. Many of the students’ problems have been solved thanks to Huzoor’saa guidance.”
Kaniz Mahzabin Chowdhury expressed:
“It was one of the best days for me ever. I feel lucky to be able to participate in such an event. Huzooraa answered all of our questions so calmly. I enjoyed every moment of it.”
Nuzhat Hasina Shomy expressed:
“I was blessed with the opportunity to be a part of this mulaqat. It was the best hour of my life.”
Mariyam Kaneta expressed:
“I would like to thank Huzooraa for this big opportunity. The whole time, it felt like we were surrounded by Allah’s angels. I cannot express my feelings in words. I pray that Allah may enable me to spend my life according to Huzoor’saa instructions.”
Amatush Shakur said:
“I cannot express my feelings in words. From this meeting, I got to learn some new things and also got answers to some of my questions.”
Fiza Ahmad expressed:
“It was magical! What I liked the most about the mulaqat was that Huzoor’saa each and every word was important for everyone.”
Nuzhat Nawar Ahmed said:
“Meeting with Huzooraa has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He spent a lot of his valuable time listening to our questions and providing us with clear guidelines on a variety of subjects.
