Al-Quran 2. Whatever is in the heavens and

the earth glorifies Allah: and He is

the Mighty the Wise.

3. His is the kingdom of the heav-

ens and the earth; He gives life

and He causes death; and He has

power over all things.

4. He is the First and the Last,

and the Manifest and the Hidden,

and He knows all things full well. 5. He it is Who created the heav-

ens and the earth in six periods,

then He settled Himself on the

Throne. He knows what enters

the earth and what comes out of

it, and what comes down from

heaven and what goes up into it.

And He is with you wheresoever

you may be. And Allah sees all

that you do.

6. His is the kingdom of the heav-

ens and the earth; and to Allah

are all affairs referred.

7. He causes the night to pass

into the day and causes the day

to pass into the night; and He

knows full well all that is in the

breasts.

8. Believe in Allah and His Mes-

senger, and spend in the way of

Allah out of that to which He has

made you heirs. And those of you

who believe and spend will have a

great reward.

Chapter 57: 2-8


Al-Hadith Try to Remove Evil

Narrated by Hadrat Abu Sa’id, Allah be pleased with him: I heard

the Prophet of Allah (peace be on him and the blessings of Allah)

say: “Whoever of you sees something repugnant to morals or faith,

he should change it by his hand. If he has not the strength to do so,

then by the word of mouth. And if he cannot do so, then dislike it at

heard ( and endeavor to reform through prayer), but he would say

that this was the weakest of faith.”


Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih VABA’s Friday Sermon Summary

On 9th October 2015, Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih V (May Allāh

be his Helper) delivered the Friday Sermon at Masjid Nur,

Nunspeet, Holland. Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said

that most Ahmadīs in Holland are either born Ahmadīs or

those whose parents accepted Ahmadiyyat while they were

still young, and they have been allowed to stay in this coun-

try because of the adverse condition in Pakistan. This has

brought about a positive change in their circumstances.

Since all this is through the blessing of the Jamā‘at, they

should be cognizant of this favour and realize their respon-

sibilities in this regard. In order to do so, it is essential to

read carefully the writings and sayings of the Promised Mes-

siah and to act upon them. It is likewise essential to learn

about the life and holy character of the Promised Messiah .

As gratitude for the positive change in their circumstances,

they should try to bring about extraordinary transformation

in their lives and teach your children to do the same.

Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said that old Ahmadīs should also present a good example so that they don’t be-

come the means to mislead others and so that new

Ahmadīs should not complain about the character of old

Ahmadīs. Keep attached to the teachings of Ahmadiyyat and

the pledge of Bai‘at and become strongly attached to the

Jamā‘at and have a sincere and devotional relationship with

Khilāfat. Those who have believed in the Promised Messiah

with full conviction are showing lofty examples. They reflect

on the pledge and the conditions of Bai’at and write fervent

letters to me. We should all reflect over our conditions and

try to understand the meaning of Bai’at and try to act upon

it.

Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said: Today I will present

some extracts from the writings of the Promised Messiah .

The tenth condition of the Bai‘at reads: “That he/she shall

Delivered by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA, the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

on October 9, 2015

enter into a bond of brotherhood with this humble servant

of God, pledging obedience to me in everything good for the

sake of God, and remain faithful to it until the day of his/her

death. That he/she shall exert such a high devotion in the

observance of this bond as is not to be found in any other

worldly relationship and connection that demand devoted

dutifulness.” Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said that in

these words the Promised Messiah has described the way to

love for the sake of God and has required obedience in

ma‘ruf. Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said that all the

Promised Messiah’s injunctions fell under the purview of

ma‘ruf. These words make us responsible to establish a rela-

tionship of devotion, sincerity and fidelity and take it to

higher and higher levels. One can only truly obey if one has

knowledge. Therefore we should strive to read the Promised

Messiah’s writings and sayings and then act upon them. And

we must establish such a relationship with him as has no

equal in this world.

Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said that in view of the

gratitude we owe to the Promised Messiah for the great zeal

he had for our spiritual training and all the means he used to

bring this about, we ought to obey him and also establish a

relationship of sincerity and love with Khilāfat. Let us not

rest content with verbal professions but strive to bring about

inner transformation. Let us strive for inner purity. Let us

offer prayers and supplicate and give in charity. Let us em-

ploy all these means in a powerful effort to establish a rela-

tionship with God. Let us employ our reason and make full

effort to find God. But for this to happen it is essential to

have a true and sincere relationship with the Promised Mes-

siah and with Khilāfat. We should watch MTA, listen to the

sermons, and teach our children of their importance.

The Promised Messiah says that in order to establish a rela-

tionships with God it is essential to gain knowledge and to

spread this message. When we spread this message, we will

also become mindful of reforming ourselves. Recently when I

made a speech at the inauguration of a mosque, a lady guest

said that what the Khalīfa has said is very good, but it re-

mains to be seen whether his followers act upon them or

not. Hence people’s eyes are on us. Let us bring about inner

transformation. Let us become one with Khilāfat. We are

fortunate that in this age God has brought about innovations

that have made the task of Da‘wat Ilallāh very easy. Let us

make use of TV and internet. One means of the unity of

Ahmadiyyat is through association with MTA. May Allāh en-

able every Ahmadī in every household to make full use of it.

At the end of the sermon, Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper)

informed the Jamā‘at of the sad demise of Hafiz Muhammad

Iqbal Ahmad Warraich, missionary and secretary of the Yak-


Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih VABA’s Friday Sermon Summary Continued...

sad Yatam Committee. Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper)

led his funeral prayer in absentia after the Friday prayer.

Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) also appealed to the

Jamā‘at to pray for the early release of his brother Tāhir

Mahdī Imtiaz Ahmad Waraich and other Ahmadīs who are

imprisoned in Pakistan.

Friday Sermon synopsis by:

Ch. Hameedullah, Wakīl A‘lā,

Tahrīk Jadīd Anjuman Ahmadiyya Pakistan

Dated: October 15, 2015

On 11th December 2015, Hazrat Khalīfatul-Masīh V (May

Allāh be his Helper) delivered the Friday Sermon at Baitul

Futūh Mosque, London. In this sermon Huzoor (May Allāh

be his Helper) addressed the objection raised by people of

other faiths that the teachings regarding Jihad and other

strict commandments contained in the teaching of Islām

are responsible for extremism or inclination towards ex-

tremism among its adherents. They say that just as people

of other religions have modified their teaching in keeping

with the demands of the age and the conditions, there is a

similar need to adapt the teachings of the Holy Qur’ān.

Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said these statements

prove that the teachings of those religions are no longer

the teachings of God and have become the teachings of

mortals, because God did not promise to safeguard those

teachings, whereas with regard to the Holy Qur’ān He

says, “Verily, We Ourself have sent down this Exhortation,

and most surely We will be its Guardian.” Accordingly, he

provided the means for its safeguarding. This verse clearly

shows that there will be a people who will want to wipe

the Holy Qur’ān off the face of the earth, but God will

safeguard it by sending a chosen one from heaven.

Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said that Islām teaches

peace and harmony, and we need to demonstrate these

qualities to the world in the light of the Holy Qur’ān. We

have to tell the critics that their claiming, without any

knowledge, that the Holy Qur’ān teaches extremism and

that this is why its believers become extremists, is rooted

in their own ignorance and naivety. Huzoor (May Allāh be

his Helper) said that today it is of vital importance that we

show to the world the pristine face of Islām, and it is the

work of every Ahmadī to convey this message to people

Friday Sermon: The Promised Messiah and True Islam Delivered by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA,

the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

on December 11 2015

of every level and every disposition. Huzoor (May Allāh be

his Helper) cited some verses which demonstrate the

beauty of the Holy Qur’ān’s teaching of peace. The Prom-

ised Messiah says that the Holy Qur’ān contains the clear

injunction not to raise arms for spreading the faith and to

draw people towards you through your own good exam-

ple. Do not think that in the beginning Muslims were com-

manded to raise arms for the faith, for then the swords

were not raised for the spreading the faith but as defence

against the enemy or for the establishment of peace. Co-

ercion in the name of religion was never the intent.

Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said that it is the duty

of every Ahmadī to gain knowledge of the Holy Qur’ān in

order to demonstrate the inherent excellences of Islām

and to attract people through our good example. It is

through such knowledge and deeds that, as servants of the

Promised Messiah , we can take part in the safeguarding of

the Holy Qur’ān and Islām in this age and telling the

world that true peace can only be established through the

Holy Qur’ān.

Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) read out some verses

of the Holy Qur’ān with regard to peace and harmony and

said that only Islām can guarantee peace in the world, and

that it is only the Holy Qur’ān that teaches peace and

opposes extremism. The need is to acquire its knowledge

and to practice it.

Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said that the correct

interpretation of the Holy Qur’ān is important in terms of

safeguarding its contextual aspect. Allāh has sent the

Promised Messiah in this age and has chosen us for this

task by giving us the opportunity to accept him. Thus it is

the responsibility of every Ahmadī to spread this beautiful

teaching in the world. The world is standing on the edge

of a pit of fire, and at such a time it is the duty of all

Ahmadīs to save the world from this fire and to work

towards peace and harmony. To achieve this purpose it is

vital to establish a special relationship with God, to obey

him, and to become righteous. Only in this way can we

bring about security for our future generations and for the

world.

At the end of the sermon Huzoor (May Allāh be his

Helper) informed the Jamā‘at of the sad demise of

Inayatullah Ahmadī Sahib, retired missionary, and led his

funeral prayer after the Jumu‘a prayers. Huzoor (May Al-

lāh be his Helper) also offered the funeral prayer in absen-

tia of Maulvi Bashir Ahmadī Sahib, dervish, of Qādiān, and

of Syda Qanita Begum of Orissa, India

Writings of the Promised Messiah (as)

The Holy Prophet (saw)

David, on whom be peace, affirmed the greatness and grandeur of the

Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be on him, when he said in Psalm

45: You indeed are far more handsome than the sons of men. Charm has been

poured out upon your lips. That is why God has blessed you till eternity. Gird your

sword (upon) your thigh, O mighty one, (With) your dignity and your splendor.

And in your splendor go proceed to victory. Ride in the cause of truth with humil-

ity and righteousness, And your right hand will instruct you in fear-inspiring

things.

(Surma Chishm Arya: Roohani Khaza’in, Vol. 2, p. 291-282)

Take note how the Holy Prophet of Islam remained resolute and steadfast

in his claim to prophethood from beginning to end in the face of thousands of

dangers and a multitude of enemies and threatening opponents. For years on end

he endured such hardships and sufferings as increased from day to day; enough

to make one despair of success. It is inconceivable for a man with ulterior wordly

motives to have shown such prolonged and steadfast endurance. Not only that,

by putting forth his claim to prophethood, he even lost the support he previously

enjoyed. The price he had to pay for his one claim was to confront a hundred

thousand contentions and invite a multitude of calamities to befall upon his

head. He was exalted from his homeland; pursued with intent to murder; his

home and belongings were destroyed. Several attempts were made on his life by

poisoning. Those who were his well-wishers began to harbor ill for him. Friends

turned into foes. For an age which seemed eternity he braved such hardships as

are beyond a pretender and impostor to suffer through.

(Braheen Ahmadiyya: Roohani Khaza’in, Vol. 1, p. 108)

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad

conducts various media inter-

views in Japan

During his recent visit to Japan, the World

Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Commu-

nity, the Fifth Khalifa (Caliph), His Holi-

ness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad held

interviews with Japanese media outlets: Asahi newspaper, Chugai Nippou newspaper, Chukyo TV and

the Shingetsu news agency.

In the interviews, His Holiness was asked about various Islamic teachings; about the inauguration of

the Baitul Ahad Mosque and about the increasing conflicts in the world, particularly in light of the recent

Paris terrorist attacks. Asked by ChukyoTV about the inauguration of the Baitul Ahad Mosque, Hazrat Mirza

Masroor Ahmad said: “Just to physically construct a Mosque is not enough, rather the true purposes of a Mosque will only

be fulfilled when it is used for the worship of the One God, to discharge a person’s duties to others and to spread the true and

peaceful teachings of Islām

Asked by ChukyoTV about the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said: “The re-

cent terrorist attacks in Paris can only be condemned in the strongest possible terms. It can only be classed as extreme cruelty

and barbaric. Groups like ISIS or other terrorist groups are acting completely against the teachings of Islam because Islam in-

vokes nothing but peace and love rather than brutality and injustice. All such terrorist groups are achieving is to defame the

name of Islam.”-

Asked by the Shingetsu news agency about the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s hopes for Japan, Hazrat

Mirza Masroor Ahmad said: “Weare a missionary organisation and so our task is to preach the true teachings of Islam. I

have seen that the Japanese people are quite pious and have good etiquettes and so I am not pessimistic. I believe that one day

many Japanese people will accept Islam.”

In an interview with Chugai Nippou, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad was asked what measures could be

taken to curb extremism and terrorism. Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:“It is necessary that the authorities

remain vigilant to the threat of terrorism and extremism. I have been calling for this for a very long time.”

In an interview with Asahi newspaper, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad was asked what message he sought to

convey to the Japanese nation and people. Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said: “The world is moving towards

another world war and the Japanese people know better than others the devastating consequences of warfare. Thus, as a nation

Japan should seek to establish peace in the world and to bring an end to all forms of conflict.”
