The 8 questions asked were:
SUMMARIES
Huzoor (aba) advised that such a person should gently explain to their family that the faith they have accepted, obliges them to show compassion, respect and humility and mention the Holy Qur’an teaches that a child must not even utter a word of irritation towards their parents and service to them remain a duty in all matters except those that conflict (shirk) with faith. Huzoor (aba) said one should reassure their parents: I am your child, I am here to serve you, and you will never suffer hardship or pain because of me. Even if one endures emotional hurt in return, they should bear it with patience for the sake of Allah, trusting that righteousness and prayer can soften hearts and bring spiritual reward.
Huzoor (aba) advised that such individuals should not be approached with the immediate aim of formal tarbiyat, preaching, or urging them to increase their religious knowledge. Rather, the focus should be on maintaining gentle, sincere contact and treating them simply as one would treat a caring Ahmadi friend. Through consistent kindness, personal concern and natural companionship, relationships are strengthened and trust gradually develops.
Over time, they begin to realise that the Jama’at’s interest in them is not driven by numbers or formality, but by genuine care for their well-being and betterment. As bonds of friendship deepen, hearts begin to open and only then do they become more inclined towards guidance. Huzoor (aba) emphasised that this is a gradual and demanding process which requires patience, perseverance and wisdom. He said that it it is not an easy task, but it is a noble challenge. “It will take some time it's a long process it's not an easy job, it's a challenge, so keep on doing it never leave them we are not the people who give up.” said Huzoor (aba). "The Jama‘at does not abandon people but rather, it remains steadfast, continuing its efforts with hope and prayer."
Huzoor (aba) advised that during any relaxed and friendly moments, one may gently share the personal journey that led them to accepting Islam, explaining with sincerity why Islam appealed to the heart especially at a time when it is widely misunderstood and misrepresented. Such conversations should never be forced but offered with openness and a willingness to answer questions for greater understanding.
Huzoor (aba) further stated that speaking respectfully about shared beliefs, particularly regarding Jesus (as), Mary and the wider spiritual heritage of Christianity and Judaism, can build bridges of understanding. Throughout all interactions, kindness, patience and steadfastness in relationships must remain the main importance. Even if agreement is not immediate, maintaining love and connection is itself a form of silent preaching that leaves a lasting spiritual impression.
Drawing on the guidance of the Promised Messiah (as), Huzoor (aba) highlighted firstly, the rights owed to Allah by worshipping Him sincerely and striving to obey all His commandments as set out in the Holy Qur’an and secondly, the rights owed to humanity by showing justice, compassion and kindness to all people, even to those who may be viewed as enemies.
When these two rights are fulfilled, one’s character itself becomes a means of conveying the message as people are naturally drawn to integrity, fairness, good morals and only then do they become more inclined to words of faith. He emphasised that most people today are not deeply concerned with theological debates as such matters rarely move hearts in an age where religion is often reduced to tradition rather than practice.
Instead, Huzoor (aba) said it is through one’s excellent conduct that captures attention and opens hearts. By embodying the teachings of Islam Ahmadiyyat and allowing faith to reform one’s character and actions, the message spreads quietly but powerfully.
Huzoor (aba) concluded that the truest form of preaching is to become a practising Muslim who fulfils the rights of Allah and humanity, for through such lived faith, the message naturally reaches others.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that words alone are not sufficient. If a visible transformation appears in one’s conduct by showing greater patience, humility and compassion, others will naturally recognise the beauty of Islam and be drawn towards it. However, if faith does not reflect in character and negative traits such as anger or impatience persist, then people will question the impact of religion and may distance themselves.
Huzoor (aba) concluded by saying: “So with Islamic practice, action and prayer to Allah to seek guidance and help and with righteous deeds and doing Tabligh, you will gain the favour of Allah and when Allah is in your favour then you will achieve results.”
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that alongside prayer and recitation of the Holy Qur’an, one should actively seek spiritual insight and knowledge by studying religious literature that nurtures strengthens faith. However, he cautioned that prayers lose their benefit if they are followed by actions that are not in line with Islamic teachings. True worship must be reflected in moral discipline and excellent behaviour.
Huzoor (aba) further advised maintaining regular remembrance of Allah through prescribed supplications as mentioned in recent Friday Sermons, such as Durood Shareef, Istighfar and other prayers as these acts keep the heart mindful of its dependence on Allah. Such remembrance reinforces the identity of a true believer and fosters humility, sincerity and good deeds.
Through this balance of worship, remembrance, knowledge and righteous action, a deeper and more lasting connection with Allah is formed.
Despite an exceptionally demanding life, the Holy Prophet (sa) remained steadfast in offering his daily prayers and Tahajjud, demonstrating that closeness to Allah is not hindered by a busy life, but strengthened through discipline and devotion.
Huzoor (aba) further advised maintaining regular remembrance of Allah through prescribed prayers and plentiful recitation of Durood Shareef. Such remembrance keeps a believer mindful that every success depends upon Allah’s help and that His pleasure is attained through good deeds. When worldly duties are performed with faith, prayer and remembrance, they become a means of spiritual growth, creating harmony between daily life and a deep, enduring connection with Allah.

- (6) Besides prayer and reading the Qur’an, what other ways can we grow spiritually?
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that alongside prayer and recitation of the Holy Qur’an, one should actively seek spiritual insight and knowledge by studying religious literature that nurtures strengthens faith.

The 7 questions asked by Lajna from Sweden were:
SUMMARIES
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that members must strive for excellence in their secular education at all levels, whether undergraduate, postgraduate, or doctoral studies and should aim for the highest achievements in their respective fields. By excelling academically, they can demonstrate that seeking knowledge is an essential part of Islamic teachings. Huzoor (aba) referred to a saying of the Promised Messiah (as), who said that religious knowledge should be sought from Hazrat Aisha (ra), indicating the elevated role women have in Islam. AMWSA members should thus aim to achieve the same standard, acquiring both religious and worldly knowledge.
Huzoor (aba) further advised that AMWSA members should focus on the Tarbiyat of future generations by mentoring younger individuals and positively influencing their surroundings. Alongside strengthening their religious knowledge, they should create opportunities for Tabligh. Where direct preaching is not feasible, they can organise seminars and discussions on subjects such as science or history to build relationships and gradually introduce the true teachings of Islam.
Huzoor (aba) concluded that the ultimate objective is to establish AMWSA’s identity and present the authentic image of Islam as taught by the Promised Messiah (as), in accordance with the guidance of the Khulafa, who consistently stress adopting the attributes of Allah in one’s character and conduct.
However, Huzoor (aba) clarified that certain attributes belong exclusively to Allah’s Majesty, such as Al-Mutakabbir (The Exalted) and cannot be adopted in their absolute sense. A human being can never attain the perfect and limitless status that belongs solely to Allah. When divine attributes are reflected in human beings, their meaning and application vary with human capacity.
For example, Huzoor (aba) said that, “Allah is Shakoor (The Most Appreciative). Allah the Almighty does not ‘thank’ a servant in the human sense; rather, it means that He values and rewards those who obey Him. In the case of human beings, however, being appreciative means expressing gratitude when someone does you a favour. The attribute remains, but its application differs.” “… Allah’s greatness is absolute and beyond comparison.”
Huzoor (aba) continued, saying that in a human context, greatness should manifest as courage, dignity, patience, and forbearance, coupled with humility. A person should not become angered over trivial matters, engage in unnecessary disputes, or hold grudges. True human greatness lies in broad-mindedness and self-restraint.
Huzoor (aba) concluded by saying one should strive to reflect the noble attributes of Allah within their environment to the extent possible. To adopt the attributes of Allah means to cultivate His noble qualities in a manner befitting a human being, while always maintaining humility before His supreme and unmatched attributes.
Huzoor (aba) said: “…these are ploys of the Anti-Christ (Dajjal) and they are trying to expand their dominance”. In some Arab countries, leaders do not know how to respond: they look to these powers for support, form friendly alliances with them and “…they are practically helping Gog and Magog themselves,” said Huzoor (aba). It was to counter such deceptive ploys of Gog and Magog that the Promised Messiah (as) was sent, as mentioned in the Hadith regarding the Dajjal – those who seek dominance through deception.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that these developments should increase Ahmadis’ focus on prayer and Tabligh of the purpose of the advent of the Promised Messiah (as). By disseminating the true teachings of Islam to both Muslims and non-Muslims, believers can help safeguard themselves and others from harmful influences. He observed that the situation has intensified to the point where Gog and Magog are not only in conflict among themselves but are also striving to dominate the world and weaken Muslim nations, resulting in widespread global turmoil.
To counter this, Huzoor (aba) advised that Ahmadis must demonstrate Islam through their conduct and clearly convey its peaceful teachings. They should help people understand that lasting peace and the protection of future generations can only be achieved by avoiding the forces that drive chaos and corruption.
As followers of Dhul-Qarnain [See Holy Qur’an, Ch.18 Vs.84-102], “…the Promised Messiah (as) has been referred to as Dhul-Qarnain. So, as you are his followers, convey this message (to the world).” Huzoor (aba) urged them to study the Qur’an with reflection, strengthen their connection with Allah through sincere prayer, cultivate love for Him and ensure their actions align with divine guidance.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that the key to safety lies in strengthening one’s personal relationship with Allah. While the Jama’at as a whole will, Insha’Allah, remain under divine protection, individuals must also ensure they maintain a close bond with Allah through worship, obedience and righteousness. Even if one faces hardship, the ultimate success is to attain Allah’s pleasure.
Regarding the uncertainty of the future, Huzoor (aba) advised that Ahmadis should not become overly attached to worldly fears or material concerns. Although worldly blessings are to be used responsibly, their primary purpose is to worship Allah, show gratitude, follow His commands and fulfil the rights of His creation. Fulfilling this purpose brings true security.
Huzoor (aba) further explained that uncertainty about global events should not lead to despair or inaction. Life has always been uncertain and no one is guaranteed their next breath. He said: “One does not know how long they may live, regardless of whether there is a war or not.” Therefore, believers should continue to plan for the future, strive for progress and excel in their fields while placing their trust in Allah. To give up planning out of fear is not the way of those who rely on Him. He said: “People who have trust in Allah do not utter such things.”
In essence, Huzoor (aba) taught that true survival lies not merely in physical safety, but in spiritual strength, trusting Allah, obeying Him, serving others and continuing to strive with hope and determination for as long as life continues.
Huzoor (aba) stated that cultural practices which contradict Islam, like drinking alcohol or participating in inappropriate dancing, must be avoided, regardless of how common they may be in society. He said: “..it is okay to watch if one goes (to a festival). However, it is wrong to join in on the dancing, for it is against our religion.” An Ahmadi should not adopt any custom that goes against religious principles and the Holy Prophet (sa) has prohibited his followers from dancing and singing.
However, Huzoor (aba) said: “You can adopt those traditions which do not contradict the teachings of Islam.” This includes being a loyal and responsible citizen, contributing to the country’s progress and participating in beneficial societal activities. By doing so, one demonstrates that being a devoted Muslim and a committed national citizen are not contradictory.
Huzoor (aba) concluded that by upholding Islamic teachings, maintaining the fear of Allah, serving others, and displaying excellent character, an Ahmadi’s distinct identity will naturally become evident. When one consistently acts with integrity and dignity, others will respect their principles and refrain from criticising them for abstaining from practices that contradict their faith.
However, Huzoor (aba) explained that becoming despondent serves no purpose. A believer’s ultimate protector is Allah and with sincere faith, one should turn to Him in prayer and trust that He will improve circumstances. He pointed out that in some countries, such as Pakistan, Ahmadis face severe legal and social restrictions that include prohibitions on saying the Adhan, saying Assalamu Alaikum, offering prayers openly, or reciting the Qur’an publicly. In contrast, in countries such as Sweden, there is freedom to practise one’s faith openly. For this, one should remain grateful.
Huzoor (aba) advised combining gratitude with resilience. Rather than adopting a mindset of despair, believers should thank Allah for the freedoms they do have and make the best of their situation. He encouraged cultivating excellent character, building positive relationships and interacting with others in a kind and dignified manner. Over time, such conduct earns respect and helps create a supportive environment and people “…will be drawn towards you upon witnessing your good actions.”
Huzoor (aba) also highlighted the importance of forming friendships and maintaining good relations within society, as these connections help overcome feelings of alienation. Ultimately, he emphasised that hopelessness does not “…behove a believing woman.” Instead, one should remain steadfast, optimistic and trusting in Allah, confident that He is the true source of security and belonging.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that the key to overcoming uncertainty is sincere effort combined with clear intention. A person must reflect on their interests, aptitudes and strengths, and seek guidance from teachers or knowledgeable mentors to assess which field is most suitable. He also advised that Jama’ats establish career guidance committees to help students make informed, thoughtful decisions about their futures.
Once a careful and considered choice has been made, one must work hard and remain determined. Huzoor (aba) reassured that Allah does not let sincere effort go to waste. Alongside striving practically, one should pray to Allah and place trust in Him. With dedication, proper planning and reliance on Allah, success will come, Insha’Allah. “So, there is no need to be disheartened.”
Huzoor (aba) concluded that discouragement is unnecessary: when a person makes a thoughtful decision, applies consistent effort and trusts in Allah, uncertainty gradually turns into confidence and progress.

Huzoor (aba) concluded by saying one should strive to reflect the noble attributes of Allah within their environment to the extent possible. To adopt the attributes of Allah means to cultivate His noble qualities in a manner befitting a human being, while always maintaining humility before His supreme and unmatched attributes.
- (3) How can we understand the prophecies of Gog and Magog in light of current affairs?
Huzoor (aba) said: “…these are ploys of the Anti-Christ (Dajjal) and they are trying to expand their dominance”. In some Arab countries, leaders do not know how to respond: they look to these powers for support, form friendly alliances with them and “…they are practically helping Gog and Magog themselves,” said Huzoor (aba). It was to counter such deceptive ploys of Gog and Magog that the Promised Messiah (as) was sent, as mentioned in the Hadith regarding the Dajjal – those who seek dominance through deception.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that these developments should increase Ahmadis’ focus on prayer and Tabligh of the purpose of the advent of the Promised Messiah (as). By disseminating the true teachings of Islam to both Muslims and non-Muslims, believers can help safeguard themselves and others from harmful influences. He observed that the situation has intensified to the point where Gog and Magog are not only in conflict among themselves but are also striving to dominate the world and weaken Muslim nations, resulting in widespread global turmoil.
To counter this, Huzoor (aba) advised that Ahmadis must demonstrate Islam through their conduct and clearly convey its peaceful teachings. They should help people understand that lasting peace and the protection of future generations can only be achieved by avoiding the forces that drive chaos and corruption.
As followers of Dhul-Qarnain [See Holy Qur’an, Ch.18 Vs.84-102], “…the Promised Messiah (as) has been referred to as Dhul-Qarnain. So, as you are his followers, convey this message (to the world).” Huzoor (aba) urged them to study the Qur’an with reflection, strengthen their connection with Allah through sincere prayer, cultivate love for Him and ensure their actions align with divine guidance.
- (4) As a Muslim, how can I survive World War III and if the future is so uncertain, should we plan for the future?
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that the key to safety lies in strengthening one’s personal relationship with Allah. While the Jama’at as a whole will, Insha’Allah, remain under divine protection, individuals must also ensure they maintain a close bond with Allah through worship, obedience and righteousness. Even if one faces hardship, the ultimate success is to attain Allah’s pleasure.
Regarding the uncertainty of the future, Huzoor (aba) advised that Ahmadis should not become overly attached to worldly fears or material concerns. Although worldly blessings are to be used responsibly, their primary purpose is to worship Allah, show gratitude, follow His commands and fulfil the rights of His creation. Fulfilling this purpose brings true security.
Huzoor (aba) further explained that uncertainty about global events should not lead to despair or inaction. Life has always been uncertain and no one is guaranteed their next breath. He said: “One does not know how long they may live, regardless of whether there is a war or not.” Therefore, believers should continue to plan for the future, strive for progress and excel in their fields while placing their trust in Allah. To give up planning out of fear is not the way of those who rely on Him. He said: “People who have trust in Allah do not utter such things.”
In essence, Huzoor (aba) taught that true survival lies not merely in physical safety, but in spiritual strength, trusting Allah, obeying Him, serving others and continuing to strive with hope and determination for as long as life continues.
- (5) As an Ahmadi, to what extent should I be influenced by the culture of my country?
Huzoor (aba) stated that cultural practices which contradict Islam, like drinking alcohol or participating in inappropriate dancing, must be avoided, regardless of how common they may be in society. He said: “..it is okay to watch if one goes (to a festival). However, it is wrong to join in on the dancing, for it is against our religion.” An Ahmadi should not adopt any custom that goes against religious principles and the Holy Prophet (sa) has prohibited his followers from dancing and singing.
However, Huzoor (aba) said: “You can adopt those traditions which do not contradict the teachings of Islam.” This includes being a loyal and responsible citizen, contributing to the country’s progress and participating in beneficial societal activities. By doing so, one demonstrates that being a devoted Muslim and a committed national citizen are not contradictory.
Huzoor (aba) concluded that by upholding Islamic teachings, maintaining the fear of Allah, serving others, and displaying excellent character, an Ahmadi’s distinct identity will naturally become evident. When one consistently acts with integrity and dignity, others will respect their principles and refrain from criticising them for abstaining from practices that contradict their faith.
- (6) As a result of opposition, we feel we have no homeland. How can we overcome this feeling?
However, Huzoor (aba) explained that becoming despondent serves no purpose. A believer’s ultimate protector is Allah and with sincere faith, one should turn to Him in prayer and trust that He will improve circumstances. He pointed out that in some countries, such as Pakistan, Ahmadis face severe legal and social restrictions that include prohibitions on saying the Adhan, saying Assalamu Alaikum, offering prayers openly, or reciting the Qur’an publicly. In contrast, in countries such as Sweden, there is freedom to practise one’s faith openly. For this, one should remain grateful.
Huzoor (aba) advised combining gratitude with resilience. Rather than adopting a mindset of despair, believers should thank Allah for the freedoms they do have and make the best of their situation. He encouraged cultivating excellent character, building positive relationships and interacting with others in a kind and dignified manner. Over time, such conduct earns respect and helps create a supportive environment and people “…will be drawn towards you upon witnessing your good actions.”
Huzoor (aba) also highlighted the importance of forming friendships and maintaining good relations within society, as these connections help overcome feelings of alienation. Ultimately, he emphasised that hopelessness does not “…behove a believing woman.” Instead, one should remain steadfast, optimistic and trusting in Allah, confident that He is the true source of security and belonging.
- (7) When our career path seems uncertain, how can we maintain trust in Allah?
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that the key to overcoming uncertainty is sincere effort combined with clear intention. A person must reflect on their interests, aptitudes and strengths, and seek guidance from teachers or knowledgeable mentors to assess which field is most suitable. He also advised that Jama’ats establish career guidance committees to help students make informed, thoughtful decisions about their futures.
Once a careful and considered choice has been made, one must work hard and remain determined. Huzoor (aba) reassured that Allah does not let sincere effort go to waste. Alongside striving practically, one should pray to Allah and place trust in Him. With dedication, proper planning and reliance on Allah, success will come, Insha’Allah. “So, there is no need to be disheartened.”
Huzoor (aba) concluded that discouragement is unnecessary: when a person makes a thoughtful decision, applies consistent effort and trusts in Allah, uncertainty gradually turns into confidence and progress.

The 12 questions asked by Khuddam Waqf-e-Nau from France were:
SUMMARIES of each question.
Huzoor (aba) further explained that Allah is pleased with loyalty, which is fulfilled through sincerity and that a person’s character and moral standing are reflected in how they honour their commitments. Even in worldly affairs, people respect someone who keeps their promises, while those who break them lose trust and credibility. In legal matters, a written promise is considered binding and enforceable.
In the case of Waqf-e-Nau, the pledge is especially serious because the bond is made in writing. First by the parents, then by the child at age 15 and again at 21. If even after that, they do not remain faithful, then it is a clear violation. A court would punish such a breach. Huzoor (aba) concluded by saying the Jama’at may not punish, “… but Allah the Almighty will surely hold such people accountable for it.”

Huzoor (aba) further explained that Allah declares He will fold up the universe again, just as written pages are rolled up. After this, there will be another great cosmic event and Allah will create again.
Huzoor (aba) concluded by stating that human knowledge is limited to what Allah has revealed. Beyond this, no further details have been disclosed. For a deeper understanding, he advised reading the commentary of Surah Al-Anbiya in the Holy Qur’an.

However, if someone is specifically giving Sadqa, then the recipient should be informed. This is important because certain individuals, such as Sayyids, who regard accepting charity as haram, are not allowed to take Sadqa. Giving charity to someone who is not permitted to receive it could create an inappropriate situation. Therefore, clarity is required when the intention is specifically Sadqa.
Huzoor (aba) further explained that even if a person is in need, whether they are a Sayyid, they can still be helped through a gift. Assistance does not always have to be classified as charity. If one knows that someone does not accept charity, then they should give from what they would normally offer as a gift rather than as Sadqa.

Huzoor (aba) stated that true spiritual progress can be recognised when a person’s prayers flow from the heart with humility and tenderness. When one feels deep emotion and sincerity in prayer, following the examples of the Holy Prophet (sa) and the Promised Messiah (as), as well as other righteous elders, this is a sign that Allah is pleased and that it is a time of acceptance. In such moments, one should increase in prayer. Huzoor (aba) has been mentioning these examples in his recent Friday sermons.
However, during periods when the heart feels spiritually constricted, one must not give up and regular prayers should continue and one should endeavour to say Tahajjud as well. One should humbly ask Allah to reopen the heart and restore spiritual energy. Repeatedly reciting “Ihdinas-Siratal-Mustaqeem” (Guide us to the Straight Path) and focusing on voluntary prayers helps renew spiritual attention. Through persistence and sincere supplication, spiritual focus and progress gradually develop once again.

Huzoor (aba) said Allah says: “When you perform a virtue, I multiply it many times over; and when you commit a sin, you are punished only to the extent of that single sin.” Ultimately, the decision of who enters Paradise and who enters Hell rests solely with Allah. Huzoor (aba) warned against the false assumption that merely being Muslim guarantees Paradise. Those who commit oppression, violence, or injustice in the name of religion cannot expect salvation simply by claiming faith. Allah has clearly declared that injustice will be punished.
Huzoor (aba) highlighted Allah’s immense mercy, quoting the Qur’anic teaching that His mercy encompasses all things. He mentioned narrations illustrating this principle: a man who committed 100 murders was forgiven because of his sincere intention to repent, while a seemingly pious man was condemned for arrogance when he presumed to decide another person’s fate. These examples demonstrate that judgment belongs to Allah alone.
Huzoor (aba) stressed that rather than speculating about others, individuals should focus on fulfilling their own responsibilities – the rights owed to Allah (Huququllah) and the rights owed to His creation (Huququl Ibad). This includes sincere worship, prayer, moral conduct, justice, kindness and humility. He referred to the example of the Holy Prophet (sa), who, despite being promised Paradise, stated that he would enter it only through Allah’s grace, not merely through his deeds.
In conclusion, Huzoor (aba) stated that Allah rewards every good deed and punishes wrongdoing with justice, but His mercy is vast and beyond human calculation. Therefore, no one has the authority to declare who will ultimately enter Paradise or Hell. Instead, believers should adopt humility, constantly seek forgiveness and pray for a righteous end.

Huzoor (aba) explained that when a person consciously renews their covenant and continually reminds themselves that they have made a solemn pledge which must be honoured, the issue of losing motivation diminishes. Keeping this commitment alive in one’s mind strengthens resolve.
Huzoor (aba) acknowledged that occasional laziness is part of human nature. In such moments, one should increase in Istighfar, recite the prayer for Sirat al-Mustaqeem (the Straight Path) and engage in heartfelt supplication. After doing so, the individual should resume their service with renewed determination and focus, placing particular emphasis on seeking forgiveness.
LINK: https://tinyurl.com/48fwpxpd
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that alongside sports, they should be gently encouraged to offer prayers and be taught the true importance of Salat and the Jama’at. Rather than limiting contact to occasional formal Jama’at meetings, leaders should invite them to informal gatherings and regular get-togethers, creating an environment where faith is discussed naturally and warmly.
Huzoor (aba) stressed that religion should be presented in a way that feels relevant and meaningful in today’s modern age. Islam must not become something distant or unfamiliar to them. Instead, through consistent companionship, sincere care and spiritual guidance, they should be helped to develop a genuine understanding, appreciation and love for their faith.

Huzoor (aba) continued saying that during the month of fasting, believers strive to draw closer to Allah and elevate their spiritual standard, while Satan is restless and weakened. On Eid, celebrating in obedience to Allah is itself an act of worship. To fast on that day would mean acting contrary to Allah’s command, whereas true devotion lies in doing what He has commanded, whether it is to fast or to refrain from fasting.
Huzoor (aba) further emphasised that caring for the poor and ensuring they can also celebrate Eid is part of this obedience. Feeding them, serving them and giving gifts reflects the spirit of brotherhood and compassion that Allah desires.
Huzoor (aba) said: “When Allah says to do something, we do it and that is worship. When Allah forbids something, we abstain from it and that is also worship.” Even practices such as eating Sehri and breaking the fast at Iftar are acts of worship because they follow divine instruction.
In essence, Huzoor (aba) taught that everything should be done to seek Allah’s pleasure. Whether fasting or celebrating, obedience to His command is what brings spiritual reward and draws a believer closer to Him.

Huzoor (aba) stated that the Hadith indicates that a similar condition would arise in later times. As the world becomes increasingly absorbed in materialism and wrongdoing, people gradually forget the true essence of Islam. In the latter days, the era associated with the coming of the Messiah, faith would once again become unfamiliar and genuine Islamic practice would decline. Many would retain only the name of Islam, while its spirit and teachings would be neglected.
Huzoor (aba) said: “…however, those who act upon Islam and are virtuous, those who have accepted the Promised Messiah (as) who was sent by God, will be the fortunate ones, all others will not be so fortunate.” He emphasised that this condition is visible even today, as Islam is often viewed as extremist or seen in a distorted manner. The prophecy highlights both the decline of spiritual values in the world and the special reward for those who remain faithful during such times.

(10) How can Waqf-e-Nau, working in demanding fields, serve the Jama’at?
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that Waqf-e-Nau should never neglect their prayers or acts of worship, even when engaged in demanding professions. He encouraged them to maintain a strong connection with Allah through regular worship and by beginning their day with the recitation of the Holy Qur’an, accompanied by its translation and commentary, so that its profound meanings can be fully understood.
Huzoor (aba) advised that the knowledge gained from the Qur’an should be shared with members of the Jama’at. If weekday schedules are tight, weekends or a day off can be set aside for this purpose. Even scientists, despite their busy routines, find time to engage with the Holy Qur’an. Teaching and conveying its lessons within one’s local community is also considered a valuable form of Jama’at service.
Huzoor (aba) cited Dr. Salaam Sahib as an example who, despite working tirelessly seven days a week, consistently recited the Qur’an, studied its commentary and shared the insights he gained as an Ahmadi with his colleagues. Huzoor (aba) reminded that true service to the Jama’at is not merely performing personal duties but the spiritual and practical effort to convey the message of Islam to others.
LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3w6df9fv
Huzoor (aba) highlighted that this practice yields a dual blessing. By reciting Durood Shareef with genuine love and aligning one’s actions with the teachings of the Prophet (sa), a person not only strengthens their love for him but also draws closer to Allah. Thus, through sincere devotion, one attains the “two-in-one” benefit: love for the Prophet (sa) and love for Allah. Huzoor (aba) jokingly ended by saying: “These days you are all in search of two for one offers!”
LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3hp8fe3x
Huzoor (aba) illustrated that, for example, Pakistani members should be addressed in Urdu, Arabs in Arabic and French speakers in French. Even if one does not know the language perfectly, making the effort demonstrates care and fosters connection. Huzoor (aba) said. “…in this way they will know that they have a social circle and are one family.” When practised consistently at the local level, this approach naturally deepens new converts' attachment to the Jama’at.
