The 15 questions asked across both mulaqats were:
SUMMARIES
Huzoor (aba) further emphasised that one should not follow friends in such matters but rather become a positive example for them.
Huzoor (aba) stated that even if a child does not understand its meaning, the recitation still brings benefit and safeguards them through Allah’s grace. However, as one grows, they should gradually learn the translation, starting with Surah Al-Fatiha and the shorter chapters, to understand its teachings.
Huzoor (aba) further highlighted that the Qur’an teaches the difference between right and wrong, guiding a person towards good deeds and away from bad ones and that acting upon its teachings leads to reward from Allah.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that she should not feel any inferiority complex about her clothing and should confidently explain that it is her personal choice, just as others wear what they like. If classmates mock her, she should ignore it or laugh it off rather than feel hurt.
Huzoor (aba) further encouraged her to build friendships with good classmates who will support her, and to remain strong in her faith, remembering that she dresses this way for the sake of Allah and should not be afraid of others.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised the importance of acquiring accurate knowledge beforehand by studying authentic sources, such as the writings of the Promised Messiah (as) and other reliable references, so that one can respond confidently and accurately. In matters like misconceptions about early Islamic history, the student should politely explain the correct understanding and support it with research.
Huzoor (aba) further stressed that faith should take precedence over worldly concerns. A student should remain firm upon the truth and avoid compromising their beliefs, even if it results in difficulties such as being marked down unfairly. Speaking the truth with honesty and integrity is essential.
Additionally, if the teacher responds harshly, avoids answering valid questions, or continues to teach incorrect information, the student may report the matter to the headteacher or school administration. Throughout, the student should maintain good manners, patience and dignity while standing firm in their beliefs.
Huzoor (aba) mentioned that although some regions, such as certain African countries, may be relatively safer than others, this safety is only comparative and not absolute. A person who is extremely fearful may consider relocating to such places, but they should understand that uncertainty exists everywhere.
Huzoor (aba) ultimately emphasised that true security lies in turning to Allah the Almighty. One should focus on prayers, seek His protection and place full trust in Him, as He alone can safeguard a person in all circumstances, regardless of where they live.
Huzoor (aba) stated that during Jalsas and other gatherings, many Ahmadis worldwide join him in silent prayers, raising their hands and praying together for peace, protection and the betterment of the world. In this way, a form of global unity in prayer is already being established.
Huzoor (aba) further emphasised that saying “Ameen” to his dua includes a person in those prayers. However, he made it clear that this does not replace one’s personal responsibility to offer the five daily prayers. True benefit comes from regularly praying individually and consistently seeking Allah’s help alongside such collective prayers.
Huzoor (aba) clarified that while every Ahmadi is responsible for tabligh, the guidance of hearts and acceptance of Ahmadiyyat is ultimately the work of Allah. Therefore, the focus should be on living a life of goodness and exemplifying the true teachings of Islam, rather than measuring success by the number of Bai’ats.
Huzoor (aba) further clarified that while every Ahmadi is tasked with performing tabligh, the guidance of the heart and acceptance of Ahmadiyyat is solely the responsibility of Allah. An individual’s role is to live a virtuous life that clearly reflects Islamic teachings. Success is not measured by the number of Bai’ats or conversions, but by the sincerity, consistency and beauty of one’s example.
When Allah instils guidance in the hearts of people whom He deems sincere and good-natured, they are naturally inclined to recognise and accept Ahmadiyyat. Ultimately, those whom Allah deems sincere will be guided, but it is Allah alone who convinces hearts to accept Ahmadiyyat.
Mulaqat with doctors and medical professionals from the USA and Canada.
Huzoor (aba) referenced the example of senior doctors like Mir Ismail Sahib, who would perform extra Nawafil prayers for the well-being of their patients and encouraged Waqf-e-Nau students to go even further in this spiritual practice. The key guidance is to maintain constant remembrance of Allah, while carrying out medical duties, acknowledging that all healing and success ultimately come from Him.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that confidentiality is crucial. If individuals are assured that their concerns will remain private, they are more likely to share honestly. He also highlighted practical challenges, such as language barriers when patients consult non-community doctors and the risk that even within the community, details might be shared inadvertently.
Huzoor (aba) cautioned that psychiatrists must be careful not to encourage openness in ways that conflict with patients’ moral or religious boundaries, as this can sometimes lead to negative outcomes rather than healing. The guidance, therefore, is to balance professional treatment with respect for faith and cultural sensitivities, building trust so that patients feel safe while receiving appropriate care.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that the main challenge arises from overthinking, which can unnecessarily disturb the mind. He encouraged professionals to perform their duties with ease, avoid unnecessary burdens and seek guidance from Allah through prayer.
Huzoor (aba) also stressed that striving for complete perfection in any task is unrealistic. Minor shortcomings are inevitable and expecting absolute perfection can lead to frustration and unnecessary stress. No professional, regardless of expertise, can achieve such a level of perfect performance.
Huzoor (aba) advised working conscientiously but in a relaxed manner, learning to overlook small imperfections and focusing on progress rather than unattainable perfection. This approach allows professionals to balance their work, maintain mental well-being and fulfil both professional and community responsibilities effectively.
In addition to professional conduct, Huzoor (aba) stressed the importance of prayer. An Ahmadi doctor should not only treat patients medically but also pray for their well-being. Huzoor (aba) highlighted the powerful psychological effect of confidence and belief in a practitioner by mentioning an incident involving Hazrat Mirza Sharif Ahmad Sahib (ra), where a patient in severe pain found relief within minutes after being given what appeared to be a pill, which was a small piece of paper. The patient’s recovery resulted from a combination of trust, the practitioner’s prayer and the patient’s belief, demonstrating that psychological influence can play a significant role in healing even without conventional medicine. Huzoor (aba) highlighted that this demonstrates both the spiritual and psychological dimensions of healing.
By maintaining high moral standards, offering prayers and earning trust, doctors can naturally convey Islamic values and leave a lasting impression on patients, encouraging them to recognise and appreciate the principles of Islam through the doctor’s example.
Huzoor (aba) highlighted that an Ahmadi doctor should combine spiritual connection with knowledge and skill. Huzoor (aba) gave the example of Dr Ismail, who excelled professionally while also cultivating poetry and specialising in various medical areas. This illustrates that an Ahmadi professional can combine faith, intellectual growth and worldly skill to achieve excellence.
In addition to spiritual and professional development, Huzoor (aba) highlighted humility, complete reliance on Allah and moral integrity as essential qualities. Any Ahmadi doctor, or any Waqf-e-Arzi member, should recognise that all success and accomplishments come from Allah alone, remaining humble and ethically upright in interactions with others. By integrating these elements of faith, knowledge, humility and good character, one not only fulfils the purpose of Waqf but also earns the pleasure of Allah while serving humanity effectively. Huzoor (aba) said this is the essence of being a Waqf-e-Arzi.
Islam requires that the sick be cared for with patience and compassion, providing treatment and comfort wherever possible. Even in cases of severe illness, such as cancer, where patients may express a desire to die due to pain or suffering, Huzoor (aba) clarified that measures like pain management or induced coma are permissible, but intentionally ending life is not.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that ending life for perceived benefit is inconsistent with Islamic teachings and is also contrary to the natural ethics of religious and compassionate societies across cultures, including Asian and African communities, where elders are respected and cared for. The central principle, Huzoor (aba) stressed, is that life must be preserved, dignity maintained and every effort made to provide comfort, hope and spiritual support to the sick and elderly, regardless of how seriously ill the patient is.
Huzoor (aba) reassured the doctors that they had his prayers for their devoted service to the African people. He emphasised that the doctors worked sincerely, tirelessly and with great devotion, often day and night, demonstrating both professional skill and selfless commitment.

The 12 questions asked across both mulaqats were:
SUMMARIES
Huzoor (aba) also encouraged developing flexibility in livelihood and being open to alternative jobs or sources of income rather than relying on a single path, especially since many industries are interconnected and can all be affected during a downturn.
Above all, Huzoor (aba) emphasised the spiritual response. In times of crisis, instead of becoming disheartened, Khuddam should turn more sincerely towards Allah, seeking His help and strength. True resilience, he explained, comes from combining practical effort with faith, enabling a person to endure hardship with patience and determination.

Huzoor (aba) emphasised that this is primarily the responsibility of the Tarbiyat department, which should actively monitor and guide such individuals. Rather than criticising or isolating them, efforts should be made to bring them closer with compassion. Those who are stronger in faith should be encouraged to befriend and positively influence them.
Huzoor (aba) also highlighted that reformation cannot be forced and that it depends on an individual’s willingness to change. However, younger individuals should be carefully guided and supervised, especially before reaching the legal age for such activities.
Huzoor (aba) further pointed out that these issues can originate from difficulties at home or with parents, making moral training across all auxiliary organisations essential. True progress, he said, can only be achieved when all Jama’at departments of Khuddam, Ansar and Lajna work together in a coordinated and consistent manner.

Huzoor (aba) further clarified that this “prison” is only how the world perceives a believer’s disciplined life. A true believer is happy to make these sacrifices, knowing they are for the sake of Allah and will lead to eternal reward in the Hereafter. They do not desire to be “freed” to indulge in worldly pleasures but instead seek closeness to Allah and a good end.
Huzoor (aba) further explained that those who indulge freely in worldly comforts may consider this life a paradise, but such ease is temporary. According to the teachings of the Holy Qur’an, those who prioritise worldly enjoyment over obedience to Allah may face hardship in the Hereafter, while those who endure discipline and restraint for the sake of Allah will be granted lasting happiness.
Thus, what appears to be a “prison” in this world for believers ultimately leads to true freedom and eternal paradise in the next life, whereas worldly indulgence without righteousness leads to the opposite outcome.

Huzoor (aba) further explained that, alongside spiritual strength, existing worldly skills will still be valuable. After large-scale destruction, the world will need to be rebuilt, just as it was after the First and Second World Wars. Fields such as technology, engineering, medicine and other areas of expertise will continue to play a vital role, though they may need to be adapted to the circumstances of the time.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that rebuilding society will require both hard work and determination. Alongside contributing practically, an Ahmadi Muslim will have the added responsibility of inspiring hope in others and guiding them towards faith. In essence, the two key duties will be to help restore the world materially while also leading people back to Allah through personal example and spiritual strength.

Huzoor (aba) emphasised that a person should make full use of the knowledge and abilities they already possess, rather than doubting themselves. At the same time, they should continue to pray for confidence, strength and the ability to grow further in knowledge. With consistent effort and reliance on Allah, this sense of self-doubt gradually fades and is replaced with confidence.
Huzoor (aba) concluded by reminding that, as believers, we have a greater purpose to lead and guide the world. When a person keeps this higher objective in mind, it naturally instils confidence and removes hesitation, allowing them to move forward with clarity and conviction.

Huzoor (aba) suggested that once interest begins to develop, slightly longer extracts, such as one- or two-minute readings can be shared, while also guiding people towards the original books they come from. He highlighted that collections like Essence of Islam already cover a wide range of topics, making it easier to introduce different subjects in a structured way.
Huzoor (aba) also emphasised the importance of understanding what people are interested in. By gathering feedback, identifying contemporary issues and addressing real questions people have, content can be made more meaningful and engaging. Without this effort to connect with their interests, people are less likely to feel motivated to read.
Huzoor (aba) said: “Even if a company wants to make a biscuit, they collect data from various regions to ascertain what flavour children prefer, what flavour adults prefer and what types of biscuits people generally prefer. Then, they also advertise. Whatever shortcomings they have are made up by their advertisements. Then they release their product, and people purchase it. Similarly, you should also work according to this model and figure out how to develop this interest in people.”
Huzoor (aba) concluded by saying that consistently sharing relevant material, assessing responses and refining the approach, a stronger interest in Jama’ati books can gradually be developed.

Introduction of mulaqat with Ansarullah members from Central East Region of the United States.
Huzoor (aba) also said: “Some want to marry outside of the Jama’at, both girls and boys. For that, you can tell them that permission is sometimes given in the case that they are Muslims. In fact, permission is granted most of the time. However, they must remain firm in their faith. If they were given proper moral training and give importance to their faith, then problems don’t arise.”
Huzoor (aba) highlighted that Ansarullah have an important role in guiding families, particularly by strengthening moral and spiritual training within the home. Parents should spend time with their children, understand their environment and help them stay connected to their faith despite the influences of wider society.
Huzoor (aba) further pointed out that efforts such as Rishta Nata departments and committees are already in place and real progress can be made when the Jama’at auxiliaries of Ansarullah, Lajna, Khuddam and the Jama’at work together with coordination and sincerity.
Ultimately, he stressed that the foundation of solving these issues is strong tarbiyat at home. Alongside practical efforts, prayers and reliance on Allah are essential, as lasting solutions come through both sincere effort and divine grace.

Huzoor (aba) further stated that setting up bazaar-style stalls such as selling items like clothes, bangles, or henna inside the mosque is not permitted either. Such activities should always be arranged outside, even if temporary structures like tents are needed.
Huzoor (aba) said: “Announcements can be made. The ruling is that, except for religious purposes, no other kinds of announcements should be made in mosques. Worldly announcements should not be made in mosques. So if announcements are not allowed, then, conducting business there is also not permissible.”
In essence, all such efforts should be kept outside the prayer space, ensuring the mosque remains reserved solely for worship and spiritual purposes.

He emphasised that retired individuals can play an important role in Jama’at work, especially if they are relatively free and financially stable. Even if they are not able to carry out physical tasks, they can still contribute through lighter responsibilities such as administrative work, translation, or other forms of intellectual service.
Huzoor (aba) also highlighted that there is still a great need to spread the true message of Islam and experienced individuals can be engaged in this effort. Committees and systems already exist within the Jama’at to organise such contributions and these should be used effectively to involve retired members.
Ultimately, he advised that retirement should be seen as an opportunity to remain engaged, serve the Jama’at and earn spiritual rewards. By staying active and contributing according to their capacity, individuals can make this stage of life both purposeful and rewarding for their hereafter.

Huzoor (aba) explained that the concern about patients turning to Artificial Intelligence instead of medical advice should be seen in proper context. Within medicine, even experts often differ in their opinions and treatments for the same condition, as was evident during COVID-19, where vaccines and treatments were widely used and generally considered successful based on overall statistics, despite some adverse reactions and public controversy.
Huzoor (aba) highlighted that in most medical outcomes, many successful cases remain quiet, while the minority who experience side effects tend to be more vocal, which can distort public perception. In contrast, AI simply compiles existing data and opinions into a single response without true understanding, judgment, or accountability and can even revise its answer when challenged that reveals its lack of independent reasoning.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that AI cannot replace clinical decision-making because it does not have access to the full picture of a patient’s condition, including physical examination and laboratory results. He contrasted modern reliance on tests and scans with earlier generations of physicians who depended more heavily on clinical observation and diagnostic skill, showing that medicine has always evolved in its methods.
At the same time, he stressed the importance of reassurance in patient care. Careful listening, examination and confident communication from a doctor often provide significant psychological comfort, something AI cannot replicate. He also noted how patients can become anxious after reading medication leaflets due to listed side effects, demonstrating how perception strongly influences wellbeing.
Overall, Huzoor (aba) advised that doctors should remain confident in their professional judgment, explaining that while AI may be useful for general information, it is the clinician’s expertise, examination and interpretation of tests, combined with human reassurance, that must remain central to treatment.

Huzoor (aba) noted that in well-balanced families where both sons and daughters are treated equally, this imbalance does not arise and both go on to achieve high levels of education and professional success, whether in fields like medicine or doctoral studies. The issue, he emphasised, begins where even slight discrimination is allowed to take start.
Huzoor (aba) also highlighted that this problem is not limited to worldly education but extends into religious practice as well. He gave an example of a family where daughters remained regular in prayer due to their mother’s influence, while the son stopped praying after adolescence, influenced by the father’s own lack of consistency. In that case, the boy even wrongly assumed that prayer was more for girls than boys, showing how deeply parental example and household attitudes shape beliefs and behaviour.
Overall, Huzoor (aba) stressed that there must be fairness and consistency in how boys and girls are raised. Equal expectations, equal encouragement and strong parental example are essential so that both young men and women develop responsibility, discipline and purpose in both their educational and spiritual lives.

For those who are unable to afford this, he emphasised that the Jama’at itself has a responsibility to make organised arrangements for food storage and distribution to support vulnerable Jama’at members. He noted that in practice, many communities already maintain central reserves to help those in need.
Huzoor (aba) also drew guidance from the example of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa), highlighting the system of brotherhood (Muakhaat) established after the migration from Makkah to Madinah, where residents of Madinah took responsibility for supporting those who had migrated and were in financial difficulty. This model of mutual care ensured that no one was left without basic necessities.
Huzoor (aba) further advised that those who can afford it should not only store food for themselves but also contribute smaller portions, such as 10 to 15 days’ worth of supplies, to help neighbours and less fortunate families. Through this shared responsibility and mutual assistance, the wider community can collectively achieve a level of food security equivalent to several months of provision, ensuring that no one is left unsupported.

- (1) The US/Iran crisis has resulted in increased inflation and oil prices. What can we do as Khuddam to prepare for a possible recession?
Huzoor (aba) also encouraged developing flexibility in livelihood and being open to alternative jobs or sources of income rather than relying on a single path, especially since many industries are interconnected and can all be affected during a downturn.
Above all, Huzoor (aba) emphasised the spiritual response. In times of crisis, instead of becoming disheartened, Khuddam should turn more sincerely towards Allah, seeking His help and strength. True resilience, he explained, comes from combining practical effort with faith, enabling a person to endure hardship with patience and determination.

- (2) How can we guide Khuddam who vape?
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that this is primarily the responsibility of the Tarbiyat department, which should actively monitor and guide such individuals. Rather than criticising or isolating them, efforts should be made to bring them closer with compassion. Those who are stronger in faith should be encouraged to befriend and positively influence them.
Huzoor (aba) also highlighted that reformation cannot be forced and that it depends on an individual’s willingness to change. However, younger individuals should be carefully guided and supervised, especially before reaching the legal age for such activities.
Huzoor (aba) further pointed out that these issues can originate from difficulties at home or with parents, making moral training across all auxiliary organisations essential. True progress, he said, can only be achieved when all Jama’at departments of Khuddam, Ansar and Lajna work together in a coordinated and consistent manner.

- (3) The Holy Prophet (sa) said: “This World is a prison for the believers and a paradise for the non-believers”, what does this mean?
Huzoor (aba) further clarified that this “prison” is only how the world perceives a believer’s disciplined life. A true believer is happy to make these sacrifices, knowing they are for the sake of Allah and will lead to eternal reward in the Hereafter. They do not desire to be “freed” to indulge in worldly pleasures but instead seek closeness to Allah and a good end.
Huzoor (aba) further explained that those who indulge freely in worldly comforts may consider this life a paradise, but such ease is temporary. According to the teachings of the Holy Qur’an, those who prioritise worldly enjoyment over obedience to Allah may face hardship in the Hereafter, while those who endure discipline and restraint for the sake of Allah will be granted lasting happiness.
Thus, what appears to be a “prison” in this world for believers ultimately leads to true freedom and eternal paradise in the next life, whereas worldly indulgence without righteousness leads to the opposite outcome.

- (4) What skills would be most useful after World War III?
Huzoor (aba) further explained that, alongside spiritual strength, existing worldly skills will still be valuable. After large-scale destruction, the world will need to be rebuilt, just as it was after the First and Second World Wars. Fields such as technology, engineering, medicine and other areas of expertise will continue to play a vital role, though they may need to be adapted to the circumstances of the time.
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that rebuilding society will require both hard work and determination. Alongside contributing practically, an Ahmadi Muslim will have the added responsibility of inspiring hope in others and guiding them towards faith. In essence, the two key duties will be to help restore the world materially while also leading people back to Allah through personal example and spiritual strength.

- (5) How can a believer deal with self-doubt?
Huzoor (aba) emphasised that a person should make full use of the knowledge and abilities they already possess, rather than doubting themselves. At the same time, they should continue to pray for confidence, strength and the ability to grow further in knowledge. With consistent effort and reliance on Allah, this sense of self-doubt gradually fades and is replaced with confidence.
Huzoor (aba) concluded by reminding that, as believers, we have a greater purpose to lead and guide the world. When a person keeps this higher objective in mind, it naturally instils confidence and removes hesitation, allowing them to move forward with clarity and conviction.

- (6) How can we develop a love for reading Jama’ati Books?
Huzoor (aba) suggested that once interest begins to develop, slightly longer extracts, such as one- or two-minute readings can be shared, while also guiding people towards the original books they come from. He highlighted that collections like Essence of Islam already cover a wide range of topics, making it easier to introduce different subjects in a structured way.
Huzoor (aba) also emphasised the importance of understanding what people are interested in. By gathering feedback, identifying contemporary issues and addressing real questions people have, content can be made more meaningful and engaging. Without this effort to connect with their interests, people are less likely to feel motivated to read.
Huzoor (aba) said: “Even if a company wants to make a biscuit, they collect data from various regions to ascertain what flavour children prefer, what flavour adults prefer and what types of biscuits people generally prefer. Then, they also advertise. Whatever shortcomings they have are made up by their advertisements. Then they release their product, and people purchase it. Similarly, you should also work according to this model and figure out how to develop this interest in people.”
Huzoor (aba) concluded by saying that consistently sharing relevant material, assessing responses and refining the approach, a stronger interest in Jama’ati books can gradually be developed.
