Hadith

Mu’az bin Anas (ra) relates that the Holy Prophet (saw) said:

“The height of excellence is that you should strengthen the ties of relationship with

the one who severs them and be generous to the one who is miserly to you and be

forgiving to the one who abuses you.

(Masnan Ahmad).

Friday Sermon

The Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer is one form of congregational worship in Islam. It

takes place every Friday. Regular attendance at the Jumu'ah prayer is enjoined

on the believer. According to a Saying of Hazrat Muhammadsaw

this

congregational prayer is twenty-five times more blessed than worship

performed alone.

We encourage members to read Huzur’s (atba) Friday sermons which can be

found at: http://www.alislam.org/archives/

For your benefit we have published below, a summary of Huzur’s (atba) recent

Friday Sermons.

A blessed year for Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

December 31st 2010

Summary

� Hudhur (aba) said 2010 started on a Friday and is ending on

a Friday, a day of immense blessings in Islam, thus giving

significance to an otherwise inconsequential matter of last

day of the year

� Our detractors may question the blessed aspect of the year

for us as we lost nearly a hundred lives during the year, who

left behind many bereaved families

� However, Hudhur (aba) said, when there are courageous

mothers and families full of resolve then loss of life is not a

sign of Gods displeasure

� Hudhur (aba) said tonight bid farewell to this year and

welcome the next one with prayers for special capacity to

remove our weaknesses that have kept us from doing good

work, may we be able to carry them out in the New Year

� Hudhur (aba) commended the website team and mentioned

that our website alislam.org has a new resource. A word

search facility is now available for all the books of the

Promised Messiah (on whom be peace)

his name without his knowledge should be avoided and

people should not leave their comments on it and no one

should join it

the way of Allah strengthens faith since one receives

blessings of Allah as a result of financial sacrifice

� Allah accepts the zeal and the intention behind the sacrifice.

million an increase of £ 664,000 from last year

� A prominent German Ahmadi Hadayatullah Hubsch passed

away on the day of solar eclipse

� Hudhur (aba) referred to a hadith that the sun does not

eclipse as a result of someones life or death and advised

Ahmadis to not engage in such suppositions as these lead

to inn`ovations or Bidaat

Holy Prophet’s (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) attribute of

forgiveness

January 14th, 2011

Summary

� Every aspect of the life of the Holy Prophet ( pbuh) was a

practical depiction of the Holy Quran and a blessed model for

us to follow

� In spite of continuous persecution of himself and his

Companions, when he attained power he demonstrated a

peerless model of forgiveness

� Abdullah ibn Abi bin Salool, the head of the hypocrites,

created all sorts of problems for the Holy Prophet (pbuh),

who not only forgave him in life, but also led his funeral

prayer and prayed for his forgiveness

� The Holy Prophet ( pbuh) forgave people who attempted to

kill him even when confessed

� Ikrama, son of Abu Jahal who was an arch enemy of Islam was

forgiven by the Holy Prophet (pbuh), who also prayed to

Allah for his forgiveness

� The Holy Prophet forgave Wahshi who brutally murdered the

uncle of the Holy Prophet (pbuh)

� For his people, the Holy Prophet ( pbuh) had this prayer ˜O

Allah forgive my people for they do not know what they do”

� If only the Muslims of today understood this point, they could

help Islam advance manifold

TABLIGH CLASS REPORT (as part of the camping event) (report by Waqas Ahmed, Mohtamim Tabligh)

As part of the Tarbiyyati section for Khuddam camp held on 18th

and 19th

December 2010, a

Tabligh class was held after Maghrib and Isha prayers on 18th

December. This was class was

chaired by respected Amir Sahib.

Amir Sahib kindly highlighted few key, simple and very important points on how to conduct

Tabligh in our current environment and also gave some instructions on how to prepare or

educate ourselves to carry out Tabligh activities. Amir Sahib said:

• A simple yet very effective method of Tabligh training is that all Khuddam become

familiar with all of Jamat’s published Tablighi pamphlets and small books.

• If a Khadim can educate himself with this knowledge he can talk about Islam and

Ahamdiyyat for reasonable amount of time with anyone.

• To conduct Tabligh Khuddam should first correct themselves in every manner by

following the true teachings of Islam, Ahmadiyyat. Khuddam should display the

best of behaviour and attitude in their work places, schools, colleges, universities

etc in order to be considered the best employee or student.

• If a Khadim can be the best employee or student, his Tabligh will have a more

positive effect as people tend to listen more to those who are the best in what

they do.

• Lastly Amir Sahib instructed that Khuddam should profusely work towards

establishing a strong and healthy relationship with their neighbours. It is widely

known among our community that we do not share the same sentiment when it

comes to our neighbours as compared to other communities in Australia.

• Islam says that a household residing 40 houses either side of your residence is

classed as your neighbour. If we can maintain a good relationship with our

neighbours, this in itself is a great form of Tabligh.

• In this Christmas period Khuddam should visit their neighbours, to greet them a

“Merry Christmas” and give then a greetings card and gifts for their celebration.

After above, all Khuddam present were handed the newly printed Tabligh pamphlet.

Khuddam were divided in to a number of groups to discuss the pamphlet and make

themselves familiar with its contents.

The camping event was hosted by Majlis Al Sadaqat. The evening attendance was 55

Khuddam, half of the members slept over at mosque.

In the morning (19th

December), Khuddam who slept overnight (24 members) prayed

Tahajjud. After Tahajjud respected Sadr Khuddamul Ahmadiyya Australia chaired a further

session on discussion of above pamphlet. He highlighted its key contents and instructed all

Khuddam become familiar with the pamphlet.

The camping event was hosted by Majlis Al-Sadaqat. The evening attendance was 55

Khuddams, half of the members slept over at mosque.

MAJALIS NEWS Majlis Bait-ul Huda (By Syed Tariq Ahmad, Qaid Majlis Bait-ul Huda)

By the Grace of Almighty Allah, the new Khuddam year commenced in November 2010 and

the following month was a very busy and eventful one for Majlis Baitul Huda. On Saturday

the 4th of December, a farewell program was held at Baitul Huda Mosque for the outgoing

Qaid Majlis, Ahmad Jawwad Khan sahib.

The program began with the recitation and translation of the Holy Quran by Umair Shams,

followed by a nazm delivered by Hamood-Ur-Rahman. The incoming Qaid Majlis, Syed Tariq

Ahmad in the absence of the Naib Qaid, read out a farewell/thank-you message for the

former Qaid and his Amila.

Sadr Sahib, Rana Ejaz Ahmad ended the program with silent prayers. Following this, the first

monthly meeting of the year was held, where the taleem syllabus for December was

discussed, a Friday Sermon from Huzur (aba) on namaz was read out and a mini-tabligh

class on the topic of the death of Prophet Jesus (as) was conducted. Lunch was served for all

social game of European Hand Ball inside the Khilafat Centenary Hall as well. This first

meeting was for the month of November. On Thursday, the 23rd of December, the

Alhumdollilah Majlis ACT did couple of activities in December 2010.The month started with

the display of Tabligh Book stall and Posters which was held at Civic Library Canberra from

December 2nd till the 8th December 2010.

Mosques around the world, Pillars of Islam. And posters describing each pillar in more detail

were also displayed.

Book display consisted of various copies of the Holy Quran in different languages. Among

these were Arabic with English translation, Korean, Turkish, Persian and Greek. Books of the

Promised Messiah (as), and Khulufa were also displayed.

An Introduction to Ahmadiyyat and Holy Quran pamphlet taken from alislam.org website was

phone number was also displayed next to the posters.

We had our Tarbiyyati ijlas on 18th December 2010. Nine khuddam participated in the ijlas.

Acting president of the Canberra Jamaat brother Tafazul Hasan sahib presided the ijlas.

In approximately one hour ijlas we focused on tarbiyyati issue related to 5 daily prayers,

Majlis Al-Noor (By Mohammad Iqbal, Mutmaa’d Majlis Al-Noor)

By the grace of Allah, Majlis Al Noor is continuously trying its best to improve in every shoba,

Alhamdolillah.

General meetings for each Halqa could not be arranged due to the camping program at

the mosque this month. We held a combined general meeting with duration of 1 and half

hours.The attendance was 21 khuddam. As sadar sahib instructed, we focused heavily on

reading NAMAZ, learning namaz and reading jamaat books.

Alhamdulillah we offered Namaz Ba-jamat after our general meeting. Qaid sb specially

requested everyone to learn Namaz with translation and emphasised on attendance at

Namaz Centers. He also requested every khadim to offer atleast one Namaz with family, if

Unable to pray at the Namaz centre. Qaid sb and some amila members visited around 40

khuddams and advised them of the importance of Namaz ba Jamat. of this month when

Saqeen collected monthly report from each khadim, although the report was not

outstanding, improvements were certainly visible, such as the number of khuddams who

offered Namaz Ba-jamat are around 31. As per our routine we have also been organising

DARAS after Namaz, Topics covered in our Daras are:manners of Namaz, majlis and

parents.

PRESS RELEASE

MUSLIM LEADER PRAYS FOR PEACE DURING MUHARRAM

LONDON, 14 December 2010

The Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad has today

once again called on Muslims to give up all forms of violence and terrorism.

His Holiness said:

“I pray that all cruelties that the misguided falsely justify in Allah’s name and in the name

of the Holy Prophet Muhammad come to an end.”

Referring specifically to the holy Islamic month of Muharram that has just started, His

Holiness prayed that the month passes without the bloodshed and sectarianism witnessed

in previous years. He said:

“In the past we have seen that during the month of Muharram, in Pakistan and in certain

other Muslim countries great tensions have erupted between Sunnis, Shias and other

Muslim sects. These tensions have led to the killing of innocent people, attacks on religious

processions and other terrorist activities. May God Almighty protect all people from such

incidents.”

His Holiness stated that he hoped that the Muslim world would come to realise the true

purpose of the martyrdom of Hadhrat Imam Hussain.[1] His martyrdom came at a time

when morality was failing, personal interests were superseding the wider interests of

society and worldly matters were taking precedence over religion. Due to these factors

cruelties exceeded all bounds. These mistakes, he said, were being repeated in today’s

world. Standards of morality and tolerance were falling and as a result members of the

Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat were routinely persecuted and martyred by other Muslims,

particularly in Pakistan.

His Holiness concluded by praying:

“May the Muslim world understand the true purpose of the martyrdom of Hadhrat Imam

Hussain and may they accept the Messiah of this age, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of

Qadian.”

End of Release

[1] Hadhrat Imam Hussain, grandchild of the Holy Prophet of Islam. Martyred in Karbala,

Iraq on 10th Muharram, 61 AD
