Al-Hakam – (held on 25th November – Atfal, Sweden)
  • QUESTION:  Atfal member, Amaan Salaam said the prophets’ duty was to guide people while Satan misled people. He asked, while Allah the Exalted sent thousands of prophets, were there also numerous Satans?  
Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V(aba) smiled and said, Satan had also put together a big team for himself. Allah had sent prophets to every nation, but wherever prophets were sent, Satan would also go there to do his work. Elaborating on the nature of Satan, Huzoor(aba) said, Satan was not a physical entity like prophets, who were human beings. Thoughts that arose in a person’s heart could also be Satanic. When a prophet admonished people to do good deeds, the angels also urged the pious people to follow the prophet, while Satan whispered to them, not to obey the prophet’s exhortation. 

Giving the example of Hazrat Adam(as) and how Satan refused to obey him, Huzoor(aba) said, “When Allah the Exalted created Hazrat Adam(as), He ordered the angels to prostrate, which meant to obey and convey his exhortations to people.” At that time, Satan refused to submit to Adam(as) and rebelled against conveying his exhortations to people. Huzoor(aba) further said, “Upon this, Allah said, I will punish all those who believe in you and follow you.’ Satan said, ‘Very well, but give me respite until the Day of Resurrection so that I may mislead people.’ Allah said, ‘Fine, I grant you permission to try to misguide them.’ Its conclusion is that whenever prophets will appear and will preach and teach good things to people, Satan will always teach them evil things at the same time.” Huzoor(aba) said, Allah would then punish Satan and those who obeyed him. Hence, it was mentioned in the Holy Qur'an that when such individuals or nations would die and be presented before God Almighty, at that time, Satan would say that Allah had fulfilled His promise, but my [Satan’s] promise was based on a lie in order to mislead people. Hence, they would have to endure punishment for rejecting God’s message and obeying him instead. 

Huzoor(aba) further stated, “The Holy Prophet(sa) states that, ‘Satan runs through every human being like blood does […] but my Satan has become Muslim,’ meaning, I have subdued it and it cannot harm me. Thus, there is a Satan in every human being. When one is assailed with evil thoughts, they are in fact from Satan. Good thoughts or urges stem from angels. Thus, there are not one but hundreds of thousands or millions of Satans. There are as many Satans as there are humans.”

  • QUESTION:  Nurul Haq asked whether one could offer nawafil after having offered witr after the Isha prayer.  
Huzoor(aba) replied, “Nawafil should not be performed after the witr of Isha prayer. You should first go to sleep, get up after sleeping and perform the nawafil of tahajjud. One should sleep for a while, then get up after midnight and perform nawafil. Otherwise, whatever nawafil you wish to offer, offer them before witr. 

​“This is what we have been taught and this is the sunnah. We have to follow whatever practical example the Holy Prophet(sa) or the Promised Messiah(as) have shown us. That [what I have described] was their example.”

  • QUESTION:  Hizqeel Ahmad asked how one could become a bodyguard for Huzoor(aba).  
In reply, Huzoor(aba) said it was better for Ahmadi children to gain a good education and serve humanity and the world, by choosing productive professions like engineering, medicine and teaching, etc. Huzoor(aba) said to Hizqeel that for now, he should focus on his studies and when he completed secondary school, he could decide what he wanted to be. If Hizqeel was passionate about being a security guard or was not good at studying, then if he wanted to be a security guard, taking professional training was important.

​Huzoor(aba) emphasised that “Ahmadi children should be good at studies” and “become people who served humanity”.

  • QUESTION:  Zain-ul-Haq asked if one could give sadaqah on behalf of a deceased person.  
Huzoor(aba) said it was permissible to give chanda and sadaqah as well. Further, Huzoor(aba) said charities or trusts could be formed on behalf of the deceased too from which the needy would be helped.
