SUMMARIES

(1) My parents do not allow me to use social media or listen to music. What is Huzoor’s (aba) advice in this regard?

Huzoor (aba) advised that parents are right to restrict social media and music, as these often waste time and can be harmful. He encouraged focusing instead on beneficial activities such as watching beneficial programmes (like those on MTA), reading books, studying the Qur’an and offering Namaz.

Huzoor (aba) further emphasised that one should not follow friends in such matters but rather become a positive example for them.

(2) Why is it important to recite the Holy Qur’an daily?

Huzoor (aba) explained that reciting the Holy Qur’an daily is important because it is the word of Allah and through its recitation, one attains His blessings, protection from evil and spiritual purification.

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.

(3) I wear a long coat and scarf to school and my classmates mock me. What should I do?

Huzoor (aba) advised that she should dress modestly in a simple, practical way, such as wearing a shirt that reaches the knees with tights or trousers, to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
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.

(4) Can we draw living things?

Huzoor (aba) explained that drawing images of humans should be avoided, as it is difficult to represent a person accurately and such depictions can lead to dissatisfaction or misunderstanding. He stated that photography is permissible because it captures a precise and detailed image. However, drawing animals, scenery and other non-human subjects is allowed. He also mentioned that imaginary figures may be drawn, provided they are not intended to represent real people.

(5) We are taught some incorrect things in our Islam class. How can I respond to this?

Huzoor (aba) advised that if incorrect teachings are presented in an Islamic class, the student should respond respectfully and wisely by asking questions during the lesson. Rather than arguing, they should raise their hand and seek clarification, presenting relevant Ahadith or historical evidence so the teacher is encouraged to properly explain their position.

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.

(6) If war breaks out in a country, should Muslim’s migrate and where would be safe?

Huzoor (aba) explained that in the current global climate, no country can be considered completely safe, as the threat of war and conflict exists across many regions in the world. He highlighted that even Muslim countries are facing instability and external threats, while countries in Europe and elsewhere are also not free from danger. Therefore, it is not realistic to assume that migrating to a particular country will be completely safe.

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.

(7) Is it possible to hold a worldwide congregational prayer behind Huzoor (aba)?

Huzoor (aba) explained that while a global congregational namaz behind him in the traditional sense is not possible, because proper congregational namaz requires physical presence and orderly rows, people around the world can still join in collective prayers in another way.

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.

(8) How can we preach to those not inclined towards religion?

Huzoor (aba) explained that preaching to those not inclined towards religion should be done through developing close friendships and demonstrating the true teachings of Islam by example. He emphasised that tabligh is primarily about showing a practical, virtuous example rather than forcing belief. When people observe Muslims or Ahmadis acting in accordance with Islamic teachings, they are gradually drawn closer, may recognise the right path and at the very least, will cease opposing it.

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.

(9) What is Huzoor's (aba) guidance for Waqf-e-Nau medical students?

Huzoor (aba) advised that Waqf-e-Nau medical students should always remember that Allah is the ultimate Healer. While examining and treating patients, they should recognise that health and recovery come from Allah alone. He suggested that doctors keep this in mind in their daily practice, including observing the five daily prayers and offering additional prayers for patients in critical conditions.

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.

(10) How can we encourage members from our community to open up regarding mental health?

Huzoor (aba) explained that encouraging community members to open up about mental health requires building their trust and confidence. He noted that some people feel shy about sharing personal issues, while others may be overly casual and cultural norms, such as the habit of discussing problems within family circles, can make some hesitant to speak openly.

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.

(11) What would Huzoor (aba) advise medical professionals to balance their non-medical work?

Huzoor (aba) advised that medical professionals should prioritise their primary responsibilities in their profession while managing non-medical work, such as the duties for the Tahir Academy or Lajna, in a balanced and practical way. He noted that Lajna work typically requires only two to three hours per week, which can be comfortably managed and Tahir Academy commitments can also be assessed according to one’s capacity.

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.

(12) How can we convey the teachings of Islam to our patients?

Huzoor (aba) explained that the most effective way for doctors to convey the teachings of Islam to their patients is through exemplary moral character and sincere conduct. Regardless of a patient’s faith, be they atheist, Christian, Buddhist, or Sikh, kindness, compassion and professionalism naturally attract people and build trust. He emphasised that good character itself helps alleviate a significant portion of a patient’s distress and creates a positive impression that spreads by word of mouth, much like positive reviews on modern social media.

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.

(13) What is the true spirit of Waqf and Waqf-e-Arzi?

Huzoor (aba) explained that the true spirit of Waqf and Waqf-e-Arzi is rooted in establishing a strong and disciplined relationship with Allah. He emphasised that the five daily prayers provide a natural structure for life, helping one maintain discipline, regulate daily routines and strengthen one’s connection with Allah. In addition, Huzoor (aba) stressed the importance of regular study and reflection on the Holy Qur’an, noting that spiritual growth requires more than occasional reading or listening to sermons, as it demands dedicated time, around 30 to 45 minutes, for thoughtful engagement.

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.

(14) What is our view on assisted dying?

Huzoor (aba) highlighted that patients suffering from dementia or other cognitive illnesses often cannot make informed decisions about ending their lives. Because they may forget their own statements or be unaware of their condition, any decision by relatives to end their life would be cruel and morally wrong.

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.

(15) Can Huzoor (aba) share some memories of the Waqf-e-Zindagi doctors in Ghana?

Huzoor (aba) recalled that the Waqf-e-Zindagi doctors in Ghana were highly dedicated and accomplished and by Allah’s grace, the hospitals gained a strong reputation. Many physicians who had trained in Pakistan became surgeons in Ghana, often working under very challenging conditions, such as performing operations on dining tables when proper facilities were unavailable. Huzoor (aba) noted that Allah blessed their efforts, enabling them to successfully treat and cure patients.

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.

SUMMARIES

(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), explained that Khuddam should not focus too much on factors like oil itself, as they do not control such industries. Instead, the real concern is the wider impact of global inflation and a potential recession, which will affect everyone. He advised that the key preparation is mental and practical readiness. Khuddam should be trained to remain strong and not lose courage during difficult times, as economic hardship often leads people towards stress, hopelessness and even depression when they lose income or stability.

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) explained that harmful habits such as vaping often arise when Khuddam drift away from their faith, lose connection with the Jama’at and become irregular in prayers. He noted that excessive use of the internet, social media and keeping bad company further contributes to such behaviour.

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) said that the saying of the Holy Prophet (sa) means that a believer voluntarily places limits on worldly pleasures to please Allah. From the perspective of the world, this appears like a restriction or “prison,” as believers avoid immoral activities and excessive luxuries. He said: “Those who obey Allah the Almighty, adhere to His commandments, and worship Him, Allah the Almighty says, ‘Aye! It is in the remembrance of Allah that hearts can find comfort,’ [Ch.13: V.29]. In other words, the remembrance of Allah, His worship, doing good deeds and exhibiting good morals bring comfort to a person’s heart.’”

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) said that the most important preparation is not worldly skills, but strengthening one’s relationship with Allah. He said that only by establishing a strong personal connection with Allah can a person guide others towards the right path. Huzoor (aba) said: “You can tell people: ‘Look, the Third World War took place “because of the world’s disputes, it’s greed and misdeeds. You’ve seen the destruction; now come towards Allah.’ In order to bring them towards Allah, you will have to set your own example. Hence, the first thing is that you must strengthen your own faith and establish a connection with Allah before learning any other skill.

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) explained that self-doubt is essentially a form of negative thinking, where a person begins to underestimate their own abilities. He advised that the remedy lies in turning towards Allah, particularly through frequent Istighfar, and developing trust in Him.

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) explained that developing a love for Jama’ati literature requires first creating genuine interest, especially among the youth. He advised starting with short, engaging topics that are relevant to their lives and sharing brief excerpts from the writings of the Promised Messiah (as), along with verses of the Holy Qur’an and Hadith, through websites and social media. These small, accessible pieces can gradually create interest and encourage people to explore further.

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.

(7) Many boys and girls are delaying marriage; As members of Majlis Ansarullah, how can we guide them?

Huzoor (aba) explained that the key to addressing delays in marriage lies in strong moral training from an early age and emphasised that parents should nurture this mindset in their children at an early age, encouraging them to value marriage and even pray for a righteous spouse from a young age, as was the practice of Hazrat Nusrat Jahan Begum (ra).

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.

(8) Fundraising stalls are sometimes set up in prayer halls. Is this permitted?

Huzoor (aba) clarified that fundraising activities should not take place inside the prayer hall of a mosque. A mosque is a place designated purely for worship, so setting up donation tables or stalls inside, especially during prayer times, is not permissible. He explained that fundraising can be organised outside the prayer hall, such as in a lobby, side room, or elsewhere within the mosque premises. Notices, posters, or donation boxes can also be placed at entrances or outside to encourage contributions in a respectful way.

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.

(9) What is the best way to spend our time after retirement?

Huzoor (aba) explained that after retirement, a person should not become idle but instead continue to remain active in a meaningful way. He pointed out that everyone has some interests or abilities and these should be identified and utilised productively.

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.

(10) As a doctor, many patients now consult Artificial Intelligence instead and challenge my opinion, what should I do?

Huzoor (aba) said: “The issue is, who fed the Artificial Intelligence? It was doctors like you, was it not? You are an infectious disease doctor, but another specialist in that field might recommend a different medicine for the same condition. As such it cannot be viewed as an independent authority."

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.

(11) We see many young women excelling in education, while some young men are less engaged. What advice does Huzoor (aba) have for young men?

Huzoor (aba) explained that the difference in engagement between young men and women stems from upbringing and cultural attitudes within families. He observed that in many households, particularly in some Pakistani cultural background, boys are given more privilege and are sometimes over-pampered, while girls are encouraged to work harder because they feel a stronger need to secure their own future. As a result, girls often become more driven academically and professionally, whereas some boys grow up with a sense of entitlement and reduced motivation.

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.

(12) What can a person do if they’re unable to afford three months of rations?

Huzoor (aba) explained that food security should be approached through both personal responsibility and collective support within the community. He advised that those who are financially able should ideally keep at least three months of essential food supplies, such as rice, flour and other staples, as a precaution for times of need.

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.

SUMMARIES

(1) When our prayers are not answered, what is the wisdom behind this?

Huzoor (aba) explained that when prayers are not answered, a person must first reflect on their own relationship with Allah rather than questioning the outcome itself. He emphasised that the true purpose of prayer is not merely to fulfil worldly desires, but to strengthen one’s faith and connection with Allah.

Huzoor (aba) said that many people focus only on asking for personal needs, like success, wealth, or comfort without first fulfilling the dues of worship to Allah. In reality, everything a person has is already a favour from Allah and no one has any inherent right over Him. True acceptance of prayers comes when a person develops sincere love for Allah, becomes consistent in worship and strives to be a grateful servant.

Huzoor (aba) further explained that effort is essential alongside prayer. Just as in studies, where success depends on hard work, the same principle applies in life. Allah has established both spiritual laws (Shariah) and worldly laws and one must pray and rely on Him, but also strive practically. Whoever works hard, regardless of their faith, will see the results of their effort according to the natural law set by Allah.

In essence, Huzoor (aba) taught that prayers are accepted when a person fulfils their duties towards Allah, strengthens their faith, and combines sincere supplication with genuine effort. Only then do prayers carry true blessing and acceptance.

(2) There are certain artefacts of the Holy Prophet (sa) in Turkey. Are these genuine?

Huzoor (aba) explained that while he has not personally seen the relics attributed to the Holy Prophet (sa) in Turkey, it is generally claimed that some of these items were preserved and brought there over time. Based on such claims and any accompanying documentation, they may well be authentic.

However, he clarified that with such ancient relics, it is often difficult to establish certainty. Some items may genuinely be original, while others could be replicas or later additions. Therefore, one cannot maintain full providence regarding their authenticity with absolute certainty.

Huzoor (aba) gave an example and said: “In Sindh, near Mirpur Khas and Kunri, there is said to be the grave of a Companion. They have even named the place after the Companion ‘Sahabi ka gaon- and constructed a very long grave. They say he was a Companion, a very pious person who came in that era and was buried there. The grave is made extremely long, far longer than a human’s actual height; clearly, that is an exaggeration. Yet it is possible that a Companion is indeed buried there. That is why Hazrat Musleh Maud (ra) would visit such places and pray. Other Khulafa have also visited, and I too have gone there and prayed that if this truly is the grave of a Companion, then may Allah elevate his rank..” However, Huzoor (aba) emphasised that such relics or sites should never become a means of shirk. While it is acceptable to show respect and even pray for the deceased if they are truly connected to righteous individuals, practices like offerings or ritualistic acts must be avoided.

In essence, Huzoor (aba) advised maintaining a balanced approach: accepting the possibility of authenticity with caution, avoiding exaggeration and ensuring that reverence never crosses into un-Islamic practices.

(3) What is the wisdom behind children being born with disabilities?

Huzoor (aba) explained that children being born with disabilities can sometimes be linked to physical or biological factors, such as nutrition, health conditions, or genetic influences from their parents. However, he emphasised that this world is temporary and not the complete reality, the true and lasting life is the life of the Hereafter.

Huzoor (aba) taught that such children are not deprived but rather, Allah has already granted them special mercy. They will be kept in a state of well-being and happiness in Paradise, free from any suffering and cared for, according to Ahadith, under the love and affection and supervision of Prophet Abraham (as). In the next life, they will be whole, healthy and surrounded by comfort.

Huzoor (aba) further explained that this situation is also a test for the parents. Those who show patience, care for their child with love and remain steadfast in faith will be greatly rewarded by Allah. Their hardships can become a means of forgiveness and spiritual elevation.

In essence, Huzoor (aba) advised that such matters should not be viewed only from a worldly lens. What may seem like hardship here carries deep wisdom and immense reward in the eternal life, where Allah’s justice and mercy are fully manifested.

(4) How can a Lajna member can strengthen her spirituality?

Huzoor (aba) explained that a Lajna member can strengthen her spirituality by first focusing on her relationship with Allah and fulfilling the basic duties of worship. He emphasised that offering the five daily prayers regularly and on time, with full attention is the foundation of spiritual growth.

Huzoor (aba) said: “When we recite Surah al-Fatihah, after ‘Alhamdulillahi Rabbil-‘Alamin’ and ‘Ar-Rahmanir-Rahim’, the subsequent verses that we recite - many people’s minds wander elsewhere. They don’t know what ‘Maliki Yawmid-Din’ means, or what ‘Iyyaka na‘budu wa iyyaka nasta‘in’ means.” Huzoor (aba) went on to say “There are five daily prayers; within them a person should be supplicating, prostrating and then reflecting upon the words of the prayer. “

Huzoor (aba) also explained that distractions, such as thinking about worldly matters during prayer, reduce its spiritual benefit. Therefore, maintaining focus and presence of mind is essential. Alongside prayer, he advised that spirituality grows through living a righteous life, acting upon God’s commandments, and consistently striving to do good deeds.

Concluding, Huzoor (aba) said: “...the most essential thing is concentration in prayer. Then act upon the commandments of Allah the Almighty and perform righteous deeds and this is how spirituality is developed.”

(5) At what age should Ahmadi girls begin observing hijab?

Huzoor (aba) explained that girls should generally begin observing hijab around the age of 13 or 14, when they start to appear more mature. However, this is not a fixed age. “If someone appears very young, then they may begin at 15 or 16,” said Huzoor (aba). So it depends on each individual.

Huzoor (aba) emphasised that the most important aspect is developing a sense of modesty from within. A girl should understand her identity and carry herself with dignity, avoiding anything inappropriate. This inner modesty, he explained, is the foundation, while outward covering is a commandment that should then be observed as she grows older.

Huzoor (aba) also advised that clothing should be modest and not revealing and that older girls should dress in a way that reflects decency, including covering the head and maintaining overall modest appearance.

Regarding confidence, he highlighted the role of parents and said they should pray for their daughters, nurture strong moral values from a young age and build their confidence so they feel secure in their identity. Girls should be taught not to feel inferior or embarrassed, even if others around them dress or behave differently. Instead, they should understand that they are acting upon what is right and take pride in that.

In essense, Huzoor (aba) taught that modesty should grow naturally with age, supported by strong faith, upbringing and confidence so that a girl remains firm in her values without feeling pressured by society.

(6) How can I raise my daughters to be confident?

Huzoor (aba) explained that raising confident daughters begins with prayer and strong moral upbringing. Parents should consistently pray that their children remain righteous, stay connected to their faith and develop a deep love for Allah. Huzoor (aba) said: “These days I am delivering sermons on the love of Allah, Tauhid (Unity of God), and worship. Listen to them carefully, extract the key points and then supplicate accordingly.”

Huzoor (aba) emphasised that confidence is built from an early age by teaching children the values of faith, good character and a clear sense of knowing right and wrong. Parents should actively remove any feelings of inferiority and help their daughters understand that they should never feel ashamed of their beliefs or practices, even if others around them behave differently or try to mock them.

Huzoor (aba) advised that girls should be taught to take pride in doing what is right, rather than following society trends. True confidence comes from knowing that one is living according to higher values and purpose.

Huzoor (aba) also highlighted the importance of leading by example and reinforcing these teachings through both words and actions. In essence, confidence develops when faith, upbringing and continuous prayer come together, enabling a child to stand firm in their identity without being influenced by external pressures.

(7) How should we deal with friends who are involved in wrongful acts?

Huzoor (aba) explained that if a friend is involved in wrongdoing, the first step is to gently advise them and explain that their actions are not right. However, if they continue in that behaviour and begin to negatively influence you, then it is better to distance yourself from such company.

Huzoor (aba) advised that one should instead seek friendships with those who are respectful, morally upright and open to positive influence. Even if they are not from the same faith, if they possess good values and decency, they can be good companions and through one’s own conduct, a positive influence can gradually be made on them.

Huzoor (aba) also highlighted how even indirect influence from the wrong company can affect a person’s beliefs and mindset, stressing the importance of protecting one’s own character by avoiding harmful environments.

At the same time, Huzoor (aba) encouraged developing courage and self-confidence. He said to the Lajna: “Do not live in fear of what others might say. We are not meant to follow the world; rather, we are to lead it. You must cultivate the qualities of leadership within yourselves. There is no need to fear the world.”

(8) How do we keep family bonds strong in times of rising depression and conflict and support those facing mental distress?

Huzoor (aba) explained that rising depression and family conflict largely stem from increasing attachment to worldly life. He said: “If one reduces their worldly inclinations and remember Allah, engage in His remembrance and observe prayer regularly, then it can eliminate depression. If one pursues the world excessively, it will only lead to further depression. Similarly, for strengthening family relationships, this principle is essential.”

When people become focused on material goals and constantly compare themselves with others, wrong desires grow, leading to frustration, sadness and tension within families. This can create disputes between spouses and distress for children and older family members.

The core solution, Huzoor (aba) said, is to reduce excessive worldly longing and instead strengthen one’s love for Allah. When a person builds a living connection with Allah, practices regular worship and develops gratitude, the pressure of comparison and unfulfilled desires decreases. He emphasised that people should reflect on their own blessings and remember how many others in the world have far less, which helps cultivate contentment and appreciation.

Huzoor (aba) also advised a balanced outlook: in spiritual matters, look to those who are better to improve oneself, but in worldly matters, look to those who are less fortunate to develop gratitude. This shift in perspective helps reduce depression and prevents unnecessary conflict.

For family harmony, he stressed reminding one another that life is temporary and should not be wasted in arguments. Instead, families should focus on kindness, respectful communication, positive behaviour and patience. When people remember God, act with good character and treat each other gently, both mental distress and family breakdown can be significantly reduced.

(9) In the current situation of the world, how can Muslims remain steadfast and what spiritual and practical steps should we take?

Huzoor (aba) said the primary step is to pray and continued: “This is something I mention repeatedly in my sermons, as for the unpredictable times, indeed they are as such, you say the world war has not started, whereas I say it has already started. How else do you expect it to start? Every country is fighting one another, what else do you call a world war? America is attacking Iran 6000 miles away, Israel is attacking Lebanon, Arab countries are being attacked, Ukraine is being attacked by Russia, there are prospects of war in Taiwan, the world war has already begun.”

Muslims said Huzoor (aba) should pray for divine intervention to grant world leaders reason, to prevent further escalation and to avert the use of nuclear weapons. Practically, he outlined a two-fold approach for the community. First, individuals must personally strengthen their faith and form a deep, personal connection with Allah to remain steadfast. Second, they have a responsibility to actively spread this message to others. He urged Muslims to inform their families, friends and community that turning towards God is the only path to salvation and survival. Huzoor (aba) quoted the Promised Messiah (as) who said: “Of course it is fire, but all will be saved from it, who love the God of wonderful powers.” Huzoor (aba) continued by saying: “There is a fire everywhere, but only those will be saved from it who love God Almighty, the One Who demonstrates the most inexplicable miracles.”

Finally, Huzoor (aba) stressed that this effort must be accompanied by correct moral conduct. He advised against backbiting, jealousy and causing harm and instead called for the creation of a friendly environment built on mutual love, respect and a spirit of sacrifice for one another. He concluded that adhering to these spiritual and practical steps would lead to the salvation of individuals, their families and the world.

Questions from Ansarullah members from Chicago and Seattle, USA.

(10) How can we love Allah after we have sinned?

Huzoor (aba) explained that no person can claim to be completely pure as Satan continuously tries to lead people away from goodness. Therefore, a person must keep turning to Allah in prayer, seeking His help and protection and asking for the strength to avoid sin. He described this as an ongoing struggle that continues throughout life. However, if someone strives sincerely and makes an honest effort, Allah will reward them. He advised that one should never become complacent, never lose hope and never think that improvement is impossible.

(11) How should Muslims in Western countries balance loyalty and gratitude with concerns about justice and global conflicts?

Huzoor (aba) explained that unrest and injustice exist in many parts of the world and not just in Western countries and people often migrate to improve their living conditions and stability. Having benefited from better opportunities, Muslims should remain loyal and grateful to their countries. At the same time, they should not ignore wrongdoing but instead raise awareness in a peaceful and constructive manner within their own societies.

Huzoor (aba) emphasised that Muslims are not required to engage in conflict but should use the freedom they have to educate others and share the true teachings of Islam. He said that even within these societies, many people themselves recognise injustice and speak against it and such situations do not last forever. Therefore, Huzoor (aba) said Muslims should focus on protecting their faith, remaining morally upright and fulfilling their responsibility of conveying the message of Islam by responding to questions and engaging with others in an effective manner and respectfully.

(12) How can we instil the love for the Holy Qur’an in the hearts of our children?

Huzoor (aba) explained that parents must first develop within themselves, a genuine love for the Holy Qur’an because children naturally follow what they observe. When parents regularly recite it, especially in the early morning, children become familiar with it and begin to take interest.

Huzoor (aba) advised that parents should spend time sitting with their children to explain its teachings, showing that it provides guidance on morals, family life, social responsibilities and worship. By discussing these aspects, children are more likely to engage with it rather than being distracted by other activities like mobile devices.

Huzoor (aba) said: “Since the translation of the Holy Qur’an is in an older style of English, some boys will sometimes say that they do not understand its meanings, then you should explain the meanings to them. It is only a matter of a word or two such as 'Thou' or 'Thee' otherwise the rest is in normal English. So, you should explain those portions to them. Until you sit with your children, they will not learn about the religion, the Qur’an, nor Islam. They will not come to know of their roots."

(13) How can we guide others to uphold the Jama’at system despite human weaknesses in its representatives?

Huzoor (aba) started by saying: “There should be refresher courses held for those office bearers who do not understand their own office or the Nizam of the Jama’at every three months or twice a year. The system of the Jama’at (Nizam-e-Jama’at) should be explained to them along with their responsibilities. I have stated this in various sermons, which means they do not listen to my sermons either and have explained the responsibilities of office bearers; how they must reform themselves and deal with others.”

Huzoor (aba) said: “There are many who become upset upon seeing the conduct of office bearers. Therefore, office bearers should first reform themselves something which I have stated on many occasions. In fact, I delivered a sermon on this just a few months ago. Every year there is a sermon or two delivered on this subject. If you do not wish to learn from them, then what can I do? My job is to advise.”

Huzoor (aba) continued by saying that it is vital that people are consistently reminded about the Jama’at system and given a clear understanding of it. They should recognise that this system is centred on Khilafat and that Khilafat itself is dedicated to fulfilling the mission of the Promised Messiah (as). His mission was to revive and establish the true teachings brought by the Holy Prophet (sa) and to uphold the sovereignty of Allah the Almighty in the world.

These are the themes being explained in sermons today. If people reflect on them, share them with others, and regularly listen to the sermons, they will gradually gain a proper understanding of the Jama’at system. In reality, only a few remain unaware of it.

Huzoor (aba) emphasised that constant guidance and awareness are essential. People should be encouraged to listen to sermons, reflect on them and discuss them regularly, as this helps deepen their understanding. Just as in other fields where continuous learning is necessary, the same applies here. Through ongoing effort, education and self-improvement, individuals can better appreciate and uphold the system.

(14) What role should Ansarullah play in promoting unity and brotherhood within the Jama’at?

Huzoor (aba) explained that members of Ansarullah (helpers of Allah), they have a responsibility to actively promote brotherhood and unity. This begins by setting a personal example by showing kindness, helping others and treating younger members with care and affection, like their own family. They should also create righteous environments in their homes so that future generations learn from good examples.

Huzoor (aba) emphasised that they should remind one another of their responsibilities and support each other, as this strengthens bonds within the community. Even strained relationships can be improved through sincere effort, so they should especially strive to build strong ties among their own people.

Huzoor (aba) said that recently, someone asked what should be done in times of crisis when people lack resources, such as in warlike conditions and how can they store provisions for three months? [This week with Huzoor, 10 April 2026, see previous date]. Huzoor (aba) said: “I explained that each person should do whatever is within their means and those who do not have the means, the Ansar and others should assist them. Help your brothers; this will foster brotherhood.”

Huzoor (aba) continued by saying that this is the very spirit of Mu’akhat (bond of brotherhood) which the Holy Prophet (sa) established in Madinah, where he made one companion the brother of another. In the same way, one should become brothers to one another and serve each other, exchange gifts, greet one another with peace, visit each other on Eid and maintain mutual ties.

(15) In today’s troubled world, how can we best convey Islam’s message of peace?

Huzoor (aba) explained that the message of peace in Islam is conveyed by first understanding and practising its core teachings, particularly the love of Allah, worship and His unity. By listening to sermons, reflecting on their message and acting upon them, individuals can attain true peace of mind, as this comes from remembering Allah. If peace is not achieved, it reflects a shortcoming in one’s own practice rather than any shortcoming in the teaching.

Huzoor (aba) illustrated the importance of persistence through an example of the Holy Prophet (sa), who advised a man suffering from a stomach illness to take honey. When the man returned saying the condition had worsened, he was told to take it again and this was repeated several times until he was eventually cured. The Holy Prophet (sa) explained that while the illness might appear otherwise, the word of Allah cannot be false, as honey has been declared to contain healing. The repeated use ultimately brought about the cure.

Huzoor (aba) said that Allah says: “‘Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort.”[Ch.13: V.29] Huzoor (aba) continued: “This is a Divine claim and the claim of Allah cannot be false. If we do not find peace, it means there is a deficiency within us and we are not acting upon it as we ought to. If we truly act upon it, the Word of Allah cannot fail.”

In the same way, Huzoor (aba) emphasised that conveying the message of Islam requires patience and repetition. One should continue sharing it consistently, approaching people in different ways without becoming discouraged. By doing so, individuals not only work towards their own peace but also fulfil their responsibility of spreading the message. Huzoor (aba) conclude by saying: “Thereafter, if someone chooses not to reform, that is their own decision.”

SUMMARIES

(1) If our country compels us to fight in a war, what should we do?

Huzoor (aba) said that a believer must balance their civic responsibilities with moral awareness by fulfilling legal obligations where required, but always maintaining a clear understanding that true justice, peace and restraint are the ideals to uphold. He explained that when a person resides in a country, they are bound by its laws and owe loyalty to it. Therefore, if military service is made compulsory, one must either fulfil that obligation or choose to leave the country and these are the only two clear options.

Huzoor (aba) further elaborated that many of the wars taking place in the world today are not based on justice or genuine necessity, but are largely driven by greed, power and the desire to control the resources and territories of others. Such conflicts, Huzoor (aba) said, ultimately bring destruction and suffering rather than any real benefit to humanity. He said: “...he [President Trump] seeks control over Iran’s resources of uranium and oil. His stance is essentially: ‘Let us have these resources and then do as you wish.’ He mentioned that similar conflicts are also happening elsewhere in Muslim countries.

Huzoor (aba) said that while a person may be legally bound to fulfil their national duties, they should still strive to promote peace, raise awareness and counsel others that such wars are harmful and lead the world towards further instability.

(2) Hazrat Musleh Ma’oud (ra) spoke about Wasiyyat and Tahrik-e-Jadid in relation to the New World Order (Nizam-e-Nau). When will it be implemented?

Huzoor (aba) explained that the concept of Nizam-e-Nau refers to a global economic and social system, as described by Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad (ra), addressing different models such as capitalism and socialism.

Huzoor (aba) clarified that Tahrik-e-Jadid serves as a preparatory system that helps individuals develop the habit of financial sacrifice. It is by small and consistent contributions, that people gradually build the capacity and willingness to make greater sacrifices, eventually leading towards participation in the more comprehensive system of Al-Wasiyyat, which supports the propagation of faith and the welfare of humanity, including care for widows, orphans and wider social services.

Huzoor (aba) also emphasised that the implementation of this system is not directly tied to the occurrence of war. It depends on the strength of an individual’s faith and their commitment to the mission of the Promised Messiah (as), which is to bring mankind closer to God and to serve humanity.

Huzoor (aba) further explained that as faith increases, people will naturally be drawn towards such systems of sacrifice. While it is possible that after a major conflict, when the world faces destruction, such a system could play a role in rebuilding society, its establishment itself is not dependent on war but on the spiritual and moral development of individuals.

(3) From an Islamic perspective, when is it permissible for an ethnic, religious, or ideological group to separate from an existing state?

Huzoor (aba) explained that from an Islamic perspective, the example to follow is that of the Holy Prophet (sa), who endured persecution in Makkah for 13 years without rebellion and only migrated when it became necessary and was divinely guided. Huzoor (aba) said: “For a prophet, Allah the Almighty directly informs him when it is time to migrate. For us, the principle is what I mentioned earlier that when such conditions arise, then you must decide for yourselves when to migrate to a place where there is peace, no racial discrimination, and religious freedom.” Huzoor (aba) clarified that in such cases, if one has the means, they should migrate to a place where they can freely practice their religion. Those who genuinely lack the means are excused.

However, Huzoor (aba) emphasised that the purpose of such migration must not be forgotten. Those who move to other countries for religious freedom must remain focused on their faith and their responsibility to live according to it, rather than becoming absorbed in worldly pursuits.

(4) In Germany, due to the fear of antisemitism, they do not condemn Israel. How can we explain to them to act with justice?

Huzoor (aba) explained that the issue should be approached with wisdom and strategy and advised that people should make it clear that condemning injustice in Palestine is not the same as antisemitism and that the two must not be confused. He emphasised that instead of relying only on religious arguments, one should present evidence from within their own societies. There are many Jewish voices including those in Israel, Europe and America, who themselves acknowledge injustices. By using these references, the argument becomes stronger and more relatable.

Huzoor (aba) said: “Sadr Sahib should form a cell for social media that however many people there are that give their comments on Israel or Palestine or Europe or America, gather that information and then after having compiled material use their own arguments against them. Provide them with their own references that we do not say this. Your own people are saying this.”

Overall, Huzoor (aba) advised working intelligently, using credible sources from within their own circles and focusing on grassroots efforts to promote justice and awareness.

(5) In light of current conditions, what should we focus on in regards to the moral upbringing of our children?

Huzoor (aba) explained that even in today’s challenging conditions, the focus of moral upbringing should remain the same as it would be in normal circumstances: strengthening faith, observing prayer, learning Islam and acting upon its teachings.

Huzoor (aba) emphasised that upbringing should be built upon two main objectives taught by the Promised Messiah (as) which are developing a strong relationship with God and serving humanity.

Huzoor (aba) further highlighted that the most important factor in a child’s upbringing is the conduct of the parents themselves. If parents do not demonstrate good character in their own lives, such as “...fighting with your spouse, arguing with relatives, quarrelling with siblings, committing fraud, evading taxes,” then they cannot expect to instil these values in their children. Huzoor (aba) explained that when parents reform themselves and live by these principles, children naturally absorb high moral qualities.

(6) What is the most dangerous spiritual disease of this era and how can we save ourselves from it?

Huzoor (aba) explained that the most dangerous spiritual disease of this era is that people have forgotten God and no longer fulfil the rights of one another. When this connection with God weakens, spiritual illness begins to spread and this naturally leads to a decline in moral values. As a result, dishonesty, injustice, immorality and other forms of wrongdoing become common in society.

Huzoor (aba) clarified that this condition is not unique to today as similar periods of decline have occurred throughout history. However, the root cause of being distant from God has always been the same.

When faith weakens, a person loses their moral compass and both personal and societal behaviour deteriorate. Huzoor (aba) emphasised that the solution begins with self-reflection and self-discipline and said that the five daily prayers are the greatest system of discipline in Islam. He advised that by correctly fulfilling the obligatory prayers, a person develops an inherent discipline that naturally draws their attention toward both God and the rights of humanity.

Huzoor (aba) used the analogy of CCTV cameras, noting that people behave correctly when they know they are being recorded. He said believers know Allah is watching from every possible angle at all times. By cultivating a firm conviction that God is witness to every action, a person develops the necessary "fear" or mindfulness to abandon moral evils and wrong associations. When this mindset is developed, both spiritual and moral reform follow naturally.

(7) Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV (ru) warned that anti Islamic forces would try to conquer Makkah and Madinah. Please can Huzoor (aba) shed more light on this?

Huzoor (aba) explained that although there may be forces in the world with ambitions or intentions towards Makkah and Madinah, such efforts will not succeed and referred to the guidance given by Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV (ru) who had addressed these concerns in his sermons during the Gulf Crisis, clarifying that despite such threats, divine protection will prevail.

Huzoor (aba) emphasised that Allah has promised protection for the Holy Prophet (sa) and this protection continues even after his passing. Therefore, the sacred cities of Makkah and Madinah, as well as Islam itself, will remain safeguarded.

Regarding the geopolitical and spiritual struggle, Huzoor (aba) explained that the role of the Ahmadis is not to engage in physical warfare or rely on worldly weapons. Drawing from the Holy Qur'an, he said that while certain powers may commit excesses, their eventual removal will be achieved through the power of prayer rather than through arms. Huzoor (aba) said that the true defense of Islam lies in Ahmadis establishing a profound, sincere relationship with Allah the Almighty and increasing their spirituality. By making Allah the central axis of their lives and "...revolving around Him," Ahmadis will witness the failure of these opposing forces and the ultimate triumph of true Islamic teachings.

(8) How can we develop trust in Allah in a practical way? Especially in difficult decisions, how can we know whether we have chosen the right path or not?

Huzoor (aba) explained that developing trust in Allah does not require receiving revelations or seeing dreams and advised that when a person faces a difficult decision, they should perform the Istikharah prayer, which is the practice of seeking goodness from Allah. The essence of this prayer is to ask Allah to facilitate the matter if it is beneficial and to place obstacles or a sense of discomfort in the heart if it is not.

If, after praying, the heart feels content and inclined toward a particular choice, Huzoor (aba) said one should place their full trust in Allah and proceed, believing that He will bring about a good outcome. If the heart remains unsatisfied, he suggests praying two nawafil (voluntary prayers) daily for forty days, asking Allah for guidance and the strength to pursue what is truly better.

Rather than waiting for supernatural signs, Huzoor (aba) said one should look for how Allah directs their thoughts or creates natural ease in one direction over another. Once a direction becomes clear through this spiritual reflection, it should be adopted with complete reliance on God.

(9) From a spiritual perspective, how important is it for us to attain higher education?

Huzoor (aba) explained that from a spiritual perspective, seeking knowledge is highly important and is encouraged throughout one’s life and the Holy Prophet (sa) said that one should seek knowledge from childhood until the grave. He emphasised, however, that knowledge must be accompanied by humility. If education leads to pride or arrogance, then it loses its true value. But when knowledge is gained with the right attitude, it refines a person’s character, improves moral standards and strengthens their awareness of God.

Huzoor (aba) further explained that beneficial knowledge not only helps the individual grow spiritually but also enables them to serve others. It increases a person’s inclination towards prayer and their desire to seek further understanding for the betterment of both themselves and society.

Huzoor (aba) concluded by saying: “... spirituality and such knowledge is linked. This leads to greater attention towards Allah the Almighty and increased prayer that He may further increase one’s knowledge, benefiting both oneself and humanity. This is how spirituality grows.”

The following day, on the 19th of April, there was a mulaqat of a delegation of 91 Khuddam from Norway.

(10) How can Waqf-e-Nau develop the same qualities as the companions of the Holy Prophet (sa)?

Huzoor (aba) explained that Waqf-e-Nau can develop the qualities of the Companions of the Holy Prophet (sa) by first recognising the great sacrifices they made and expressing gratitude that such extreme trials are not required today. He emphasised that while earlier believers sacrificed their lives and endured severe hardships, today the primary sacrifice expected is of time, effort and wealth. Therefore, Waqf-e-Nau should dedicate their abilities, education and talents in the service of their faith with sincerity and gratitude.

Following the guidance of the Promised Messiah (as), Huzoor (aba) said they should engage in the "jihad of the pen" by spreading the true, peaceful teachings of Islam through writing. This involves countering modern misconceptions and anti-Islamic sentiment in the media.

Huzoor (aba) also explained that just as people were drawn to the Holy Prophet (sa) through his excellent character and truthfulness, believers today should improve their morals and live the true teachings of Islam so others are naturally attracted to them.

By combining gratitude, knowledge, worship, good character and active service, Huzoor (aba) said that Waqf-e-Nau can embody the spirit and qualities of the early Companions in today’s context.

(11) How should Ahmadis understand the concept of a false messiah today, given that Dajjal represents a system and we are already living in his time?

Huzoor (aba) gave a wonderful explanations of this and explained that the concept of Dajjal should not be understood as a single individual, but as a broader system that works to mislead people and corrupt faith. He clarified that while the Holy Qur’an does not explicitly mention Dajjal, it does speak of Gog and Magog, who represent forces that create widespread disorder and attack religion from all directions.

Huzoor (aba) stated that this era of deception is not new; it began over a century ago when Islam faced intense ideological and religious challenges, leading many people away from their faith. At that time, the Promised Messiah (as) appeared to counter these influences and restore true teachings.

Huzoor (aba) said that “...the Dajjal (Antichrist) is deceiving people through various ploys; some are through worldly means while others are by means of various religions.” Consequently, he teaches that anyone who has turned away from God and promotes spiritual or worldly disorder embodies these forces, saying that “..one who is not inclined towards Allah the Almighty is both the Dajjal, as well as Gog and Magog.”

To counter this, Huzoor (aba) urges Ahmadis to stand firm against these deceptions by spreading the true teachings of the Promised Messiah (as), which were specifically intended to safeguard faith in this era of confusion.

(12) What future do you see for our civilisation and what role will the Jama’at play in it?

Huzoor (aba) explained that according to the teachings of the Promised Messiah (as), the world is passing through its final phase, during which Islam is destined to reach its peak and spread across the globe. He stated that the Promised Messiah (as) was sent to revive and establish the true teachings of Islam in this last era and the institution of Khilafat will guide the community through this era.

If corruption arises in the distant future, the Khalifa of that time may need to take strict measures to maintain the integrity of the faith. The role of the Jama’at, therefore, is to carry forward this work spreading faith, reforming society and guiding humanity back towards righteousness.

Huzoor (aba) further explained that before the end of the world, Islam will achieve global acceptance, but over time, corruption may again creep in. Ultimately, when moral and spiritual decline reaches its extreme, the Day of Judgement will come at a time determined by Allah.

Huzoor (aba) emphasised that to safeguard against the modern calamities that serve as signs of the latter days such as wars, earthquake and natural disasters, Ahmadis must personally adopt righteousness and instill it in their future generations.

in summary, Huzoor (ab) said the Jama’at's role is to ensure that the message of Islam reaches every corner of the earth before the world reaches its inevitable conclusion.

(13) Attention spans are decreasing, in light of this how can we preach effectively?

Huzoor (aba) explained that in an age where attention spans are shorter, preaching should be adapted by using brief and engaging content especially through social media. He suggested that departments such as Khuddam and Tabligh departments should use social media and websites to share brief passages and video clips that can be viewed in three to five minutes.

In countries where a vast majority are atheists or non-practicing, Huzoor (aba) said: "...you should first explain the existence of God to them. When they come to know about that, then explain to them the various proofs for His existence by showing them small clips on social media and posting passages." He stressed that preaching should be consistent but not forceful. Those who are interested will engage, while others may not and that is their choice.

When engaging with other Muslims on theological matters, he advises using specific historical and traditional evidences. He suggests posting clips from ahadith: "...such as the statement of Hazrat A’ishah (ra) that, ‘Say he is the Seal of Prophets but do not say that there will be no prophet after him.’"

Basically, Huzoor (aba) reminded the Jama’at that faith cannot be spread by force and that the duty of an Ahmadi is to consistently provide these educational resources, allowing those who are interested the opportunity to engage and learn at their own pace.

(14) A Hadith states that the world is a prison for the believer, and a paradise for the disbeliever. In Surah-Ar-Rahman it states “But for him who fears to stand before his Lord, there are two Gardens.” What is the relationship between these two?

Huzoor (aba) explained that the "two gardens" mentioned in the Holy Qur'an represent the spiritual joy a believer experiences both in this life and the hereafter. He stated that while the world may be described as a "prison" for a believer because they abstain from forbidden worldly pleasures, they actually find a unique form of Paradise here through the worship of Allah. Referring to the example of the Holy Prophet (sa), who described prayer as the "delight of his eyes," Huzoor (aba) said that true inner peace and heartfelt contentment is found in piety and the service of others. This spiritual contentment itself becomes a form of paradise in this life.

Huzoor (aba) further explained that when a person lives righteously, they develop a natural dislike for wrongdoing and instead find happiness in doing good and worshipping God. This creates a state of inner satisfaction and peace, which is the first “garden.” The second “garden” is the greater and eternal reward in the next life.

Huzoor (aba) also highlighted that those who reject faith may seem to enjoy worldly pleasures freely, but this does not lead to lasting happiness. What appears to be ease now can result in loss in the hereafter, whereas the believer, though seemingly restricted, is in fact building lasting joy in both worlds.

Basically Huzoor (aba) said The "two gardens" signify that the rewards for good deeds begin in this life through spiritual fulfilment and culminate in an even greater, eternal Paradise in the next life.

(15) Some schools teach unislamic knowledge to children, how can we save our children from this?

In his answer, Huzoor (aba) explained that the key to protecting children lies in active parenting through time, communication, education and nurturing a strong foundation of faith. He (aba) explained that the introduction of un-Islamic concepts, particularly concerning gender and morals in schools, represents a significant spiritual challenge and identifies these misleading ideologies as part of the deceptive forces of the era, noting that “...this too is one of the attacks of Dajjal: to take people away from faith and from God, to involve them in wrongdoing, to immerse them in worldly pursuits, until their religion is lost entirely.”

While acknowledging that some nations are beginning to reconsider how early these topics are introduced, Huzoor (aba) stressed that the ultimate responsibility for a child’s moral upbringing lies with the parents.

Huzoor (aba) emphasised that while academic subjects should be learned and accepted, matters related to morals and beliefs require firm grounding in one’s religion. To effectively protect children, Huzoor (aba) stressed the importance of open communication and building a relationship based on trust and parents should explain the wisdom behind Islamic prohibitions and the beauty of worship in a way that respects the bounds of modesty. In some cases, alternative approaches like homeschooling may be considered, but at the very least, consistent guidance at home is essential.

(16) In Surah At-Tahrim [Ch.66:V9]. it states: "They will say, ‘Our Lord, perfect our light for us and forgive us...". How will this perfect light be manifested in the hereafter?

Huzoor (aba) explained that the "perfect light" mentioned in the Holy Qur'an is inextricably linked to the performance of righteous deeds and the avoidance of hypocrisy in this life. He draws a parallel to the spiritual state of the Holy Prophet (sa) who said: “The coolness of my eyes and heart is in prayer.” So, following the commands of Allah the Almighty is the true teaching.

Huzoor (aba) stated that the light a believer prays for in the hereafter is the spiritual manifestation of the good works they have already cultivated on earth. He emphasised that: “...the light is, in fact, those righteous deeds” and that these same actions will transform into the bounties and flowing streams of Paradise in the next world.

Huzoor (aba) also said that: “...this very light will benefit us in the next world it will take us to Paradise and will also be the means of attaining the pleasure of Allah the Almighty.” Even if a believer has some shortcomings, Allah will magnify their sincere efforts so that their light becomes a complete means of salvation.

Concluding, Huzoor (aba) said the divine grace involved by stating that: “He shall magnify and elevate our good works, so that they may become the means of our complete forgiveness.”

(17) How can we bring unresponsive Khuddam closer to us?

Huzoor (aba) advised that the main way to reaching unresponsive Khuddam is to work on the development of personal, sincere relationships over administrative or financial requirements and emphasised that initial interactions should not revolve around asking for Chanda, attending meetings, or asking about prayer habits, as these can create a sense of pressure or distance. Instead, the focus must be on building upon a relationship for their own sake so that the individuals feel valued as friends.

Huzoor (aba) suggested that Qaid and Amila members should take the lead in cultivating these personal connections directly and recommended that Khuddam who are firm in their faith should be encouraged to build genuine friendships with those who are less engaged. He explained that once a person becomes emotionally attached and feels a sense of belonging, they can then be gradually informed of the Jama’at’s objectives. This approach ensures that moral training is conducted through a foundation of trust and friendship rather than through cold administrative demands.

(18) How can we move past all grievances and become unified as Khuddam?

Huzoor (aba) observes that grievances often arise from trivial matters involving which then escalate into prolonged disputes that can last for months. Huzoor (aba) said: “It is mentioned in a hadith that a brother should not remain angry with his fellow brother for more than three days. Yet among you, disagreements persist for months.”

To achieve true unity, Huzoor (aba) explained that believers must prioritise mutual compassion and the protection of each other’s honour. He warns that a lack of brotherhood leads to a loss of collective strength, noting that “...if you remain united as brothers, then all will be well; otherwise, your strength and power will dissipate.” Huzoor (aba) said the Qur’anic instruction to be "compassionate towards one another" requires believers to treat each other with tenderness and love.

Huzoor (aba) highlighted that unity depends on adopting good moral qualities and a positive mindset. When individuals think positively and act with wisdom, conflicts can be resolved easily. However, those who look for reasons to argue only create further division. He advised that wise individuals should guide others towards patience and understanding, helping to resolve disagreements calmly.

(19) My question is, when life begins to feel meaningless, what should one do?

Huzoor (aba) in his answer said that true meaning in life comes from a strong connection with God and by nurturing that relationship, a person can overcome feelings of emptiness and rediscover purpose. He said that feelings of life being meaningless arise when a person becomes overly attached to worldly matters and distant from God and emphasised that for someone with true faith who believes that God hears prayers and removes hardships, life cannot be meaningless. Rather, such feelings are a sign of spiritual neglect. He stated that: “...life becomes devoid of meaning only when one becomes heedless of Allah the Almighty.”

Huzoor (aba) advised that the way to restore purpose is to turn back to God through regular prayer, sincere supplication and seeking forgiveness. By focusing on worship and keeping God at the centre of one’s life, a person regains clarity, peace and direction.

Huzoor (aba) further warned against becoming consumed by worldly pursuits, as this leads to emptiness and even dangerous thoughts. Instead, he reminded that: “...one who truly recognises Allah does not entertain thoughts of suicide.”

Huzoor (aba) in his answer said that true meaning in life comes from a strong connection with God and by nurturing that relationship, a person can overcome feelings of emptiness and rediscover purpose.
