Five Distinctions Granted to the Holy Prophet

Narrated by Jbir, Allh be pleased with him: The Prophetsa of
Allh said:
I have been granted five distinctions which none of the Prophets
were granted before me. Firstly, I have been reinforced with awe
extending as far as a months journey; secondly the entire earth
has been made a mosque for me and a means of purity; thirdly,
the booty of war has been made lawful for me; it was never made
lawful before me; fourthly, I have been granted the honour of intercession with the Lord; and fifthly, while Prophets before me

Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih VABAs Friday Sermon Summary

Friday Sermon: The Merciful and Forgiving God

Delivered by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA, the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
on July 18, 2014

the believers. In fact, the words of mercy from God

Almighty show us the ways to love Him and act upon
His commandments, so that we may continue to receive His blessings by getting ever closer to Him.
Therefore, Divine message is like an illuminated path
for those who have lost their way. It is a message of life
for those who are spiritually dead. In fact, it is a promise of liberty for the ones who are in the grip of Satan.
Therefore, the benevolence and mercy of the Gracious
and Merciful God requires that we deepen our love for
Him by acting upon His commandments, by attaining
nearness to Him, and by trying our level best to put an
end to our shortcomings and sinfulness.
On 18th of July 2014, Hazrat Khalfatul-Mash V (May
Allh be his Helper) delivered the Friday Sermon at
the Baitul Futh Mosque, Morden, London.
Huzoor (May Allh be his Helper) recited verses 5455 of Srah Al-Zumar, gave their translation , which is
as follows:.

Huzoor (May Allh be his Helper) said: The teachings

of the Holy Qurn and the traditions of the Holy
Prophet(saw) inform us that no one is unforgiveable.
Hence, everyone can be reformed; everyone can become recipient of Divine grace, provided he or she
makes a sincere effort to change himself/herself for the
better.

Huzoor (May Allh be his Helper) presented some traSay, O My servants who have committed excesses ditions of the Holy Prophet(saw) regarding the blessings

cial grace that descends during the month of Ramadn.
Despair not of the mercy of Allh, surely Allh forHuzoor (May Allh be his Helper) said: The Holy
gives all sins. Verily He is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
Prophet(saw) said that the first ten days of Ramadn are
And turn ye to your Lord, and submit yourselves to filled with Divine mercy; the second ten days contain
Him, before there comes unto you the punishment; forgiveness and the last ten days grant one deliverance
for then you shall not be helped. (39:54-55)
from Hell. If we fast during Ramadn doing justice to
the requirements of this sacred month and worshipping
And said: God Almighty has given a message of hope
to His servants in various verses of the Holy Qurn
saying He is Most Forgiving and Ever Merciful. The
verses contain the beautiful message that Allh is Ever
Merciful and Gracious towards everyone who, after
having committed sins, is fearful of His punishment.
Indeed, God says: O my servants!
Despair not of my mercy, I am the Lord, and I have
the power to forgive you your sins and wrap you in
the raiment of my mercy.
Huzoor (May Allh be his Helper) said: Due to this
message of hope and mercy, despair becomes a sin for

are three conditions for repentance: the first condition
is to get rid of evil thoughts which cause evil propensities.
The second condition is to show remorse, which
means that the person should express remorse over
his sins and evil actions and should ponder over the
fact that the pleasure derived from acts of sinfulness is
only fleeting and temporary. The third condition is to
inculcate in oneself a firm resolve that he or she will
never revert to the evils they have shunned. If a person
adheres to this resolve, God will bestow upon him the
strength for true repentance.
the Almighty God and offering Nawafil to Him, we
shall be rewarded with such forgiveness that not only
our previous sins will be forgiven but also we will obtain the ability to shun sinfulness for good.
Huzoor (May Allh be his Helper) said: The second
ten days of Ramadn are going to end in a day or two
and the last ten days will then begin, which will bring
with them countless blessings because there comes a
night in them which is called Laila-tul-Qadr, the night
in which prayers are answered and one witnesses the
miracle of ones closeness to God.

The Promised Messiah(AS) said: Cleanse your actions and

be ever occupied with the remembrance of Allh and
do not become heedless... Forever keep repentance
alive and never let it die...The weapons through which
we are going to achieve predominance are Istighfar,
Taubah, knowledge of the faith, keeping the greatness
of God in our mind and offering the five daily prayers
regularly. Salt is the key to the acceptance of prayers.
When you offer the Salt, make prayers during it, and
do not be heedless, and safeguard yourself from every
evil whether it be related to the duties owed to God
or to His creatures.

Therefore we should pay special attention to prayers Huzoor (May Allh be his Helper) said: May Allh

Objectives by Promised Messiahas

"The primary purpose of this Convention is to enable every sincere individual to personally experience religious benefits; They may enhance their knowledge and - due to their being blessed and enabled by Allah,
The Exalted - their perception [of Allah] may progress. Among its secondary benefits is that this congregational meeting together will promote mutual introduction among all brothers, and it will strengthen the fraternal ties within this Community..."
Ishtihar 7 Dec. 1892, Majmoo`ah Ishtiharat Vol. I, Page 340

It is essential for all those who can afford to undertake the journey, that they must come to attend this Convention which embodies many blessed objectives. They should disregard minor inconveniences in the
cause of Allah and His prophet (peace be upon him.). Allah yields reward to the sincere persons at every
step of their way, and no labour and hardship, undertaken in His way, ever goes to waste. I re-emphasize
that you must not rank this convention in the same league as other, ordinary, human assemblies. This is a
phenomenon that is based purely on the Divine Help, for propagation of Islam."

Some Directives For Guests and Workers Of Jalsa Salana

In the light of instructions by Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V ABA
Purpose of Jalsa Salana

This is NOT A FESTIVAL but a Jama'at convention. Do not think that you are participating in a
festival and do not waste your time in personal meetings or in buying or selling or showing off
the latest fashions.

Greet each other with smiles. If you had any rancour, end them with smiles in these three
days. Secondly, spread the good words and urge others to perform good deeds and tell them
to desist from bad practices. After all, that is the prime purpose of Jalsa Salana. Those who
come to attend Jalsa, must participate in it fully and instead of roaming about aimlessly, they
should derive the maximum benefit from the programme.

Care should be taken that the ladies and the children sit and listen to the Jalsa proceedings
quietly and try to derive the maximum benefit from them.

Blessing of Jalsa

Ahmadis from the UK should participate in the Jalsa with full zeal and vigour. This is YOUR
Jalsa Salana. Do not be absent without any valid reason. Some people only come for one day
instead of all three days and then their objective is to meet friends rather than gain the blessings of the occasion. If the blessings of Jalsa are kept in mind, then attendance on all three
days is essential. Listen to the speeches and other programmes in silence paying full attention. Do not waste this precious time.

On some rare occasions some local drivers offer a lift to the guest in their car and then demand money. This is against the spirit of hospitality and people should refrain from this prac-

Waqfe Nau Newsletter USA

Page 10

To honour and serve our guests should be our aim and we should serve them with love and
sincerity and in a spirit of sacrifice.

Guests should remember that all these arrangements are temporary. The volunteers work
very hard to serve the guests, but occasionally if there is any shortfall, it should be overlooked.

If any guests find a shortfall, they should gently draw attention of the workers to it. There is no
need to get angry. The arrangements are large scale and there are bound to be some deficiencies. They should be tolerated and overlooked.

Treat your fellow workers with respect and honour; and perform all your duties together in an
atmosphere of love and friendship.

The hosts must perform their duties of hospitality in a pleasant manner and continue to do so
as long as the hospitality period continues. It is not commendable that the workers disappear
immediately after the Jalsa is over and those in charge are left in embarrassment. Perform
your duties diligently and honestly.

Similarly, if the workers find a guest angry, they should apologise politely and try to remove
and solve his difficulty. Remember! you should never speak to your guests harshly or discourteously.

Remember the etiquette and sanctity of the place in and around the mosque. During the Jalsa,
the marquees serve as mosques. Therefore, remember to observe the sanctity of the mosque
in these.

Jalsa days should be spent in the rememberance of Allah, reciting 'Durood' (invoking blessings of Allah upon His Holy Prophet) and regular performance of Salat. The guests have come
from far and wide. If they do not perform Salat regularly and at thier appointed times, they will
lose the real purpose of their coming to Jalsa. Similarly, in such places as the kitchen where it
is difficult for the worker to leave, arrangments should be made so that they can perform their
Salat in their place of duty. This is the responsibility of those who are in charge of those areas.

Page 11

Waqfe Nau Newsletter USA

Sometimes, children start crying during the Salat, this naturally diverts the attention of the others and spoils their prayers. The parents, whether father or mother, should take the child away
for the sake of others.

Fathers or mothers with very young children should not try to occupy the front rows during
Salat. They should sit in the back row so that if need be, they can leave.

Please switch off your mobile (handy/cell) phones during the prayers. Some people have the
habit of bringing in their phones and leaving them switched on. When the phones begin ringing, it causes a great deal of disturbance to the worshippers.

Some people talk loudly and in querulous tones as a matter of habit or sit in groups and indulge in loud laughter. Try to avoid these practices as much as you can during these three
days. In fact avoid these altogether. This is not considered a good habit anyway.

Be mindful of all the discipline and arrangements and co-operate and abide fully with the instructions given by workers on duty.

During the Jalsa, some children and adults throw litter on the grounds and pathways. Irrespective of whose duty it is, whosoever notices any litter should pick it up and deposit it in the litterbins or boxes provided for this purpose. Both guests and hosts should keep the site free of
litter.

Ladies are advised that they should take care not to roam around aimlessly. However, those
ladies who are not Ahmadis and do not observe Purdah, they should only be requested to do
so. There is no need for force or coercion. If there is some Ahmadi who has a difficulty to
cover her face, she should wear minimum and simple make-up. Spread the habit of keeping
your head covered. It should be remembered that we are spending our time in a spiritual environment during these days. We should not try to find excuses not to observe Purdah. It is a
different matter if there is a genuine reason. Even then the minimum norms of Purdah should
be observed.

Waqifaat-e Nau (Girls) Special Events at Jalsa Salana

Mabroor Jattala Sahiba reminded the audience that the Waqifat USA are
very fortunate that they have had three classes with Hazrat Khalifatul Masih(ABA) in the past few years. She said Waqifat should always strive to abide
by the wishes of the Khalifatul Masih(ABA) . She also gave a brief account of
the Waqifat Program. Sister Palvesha Noor recited a Hadith with Urdu and
English translation. Afterwards, a beautiful poem, written by Hazrat
Musleh Maoud (ra), was recited by Sister Sobia Zafar. The translation for
this poem was read by Sister Shanzay Khan.
This was followed by a presentation prepared by a few Waqifat, sisters
Sadia Choudhry, Attiya Zafar, Samya Ahmad and Saadia Nawal. These girls
prepared an excellent presentation titled, Conditions of Baiat Practical
Applications in Daily Life. During the presentation, the Waqifat explained
each condition of Baiat in detail and gave short examples on how these
conditions of Baiat could be fulfilled in our daily lives. Following the presentation, Sister Sara Hayee a young Waqifa recited a few verses from the
Qaseeda in very melodious tone and the translation was read by Sister
Bushra Saleem.

Sister Bariah Ahmad who recited Ayat-ul-Kursi.

complete the Waqf process, and how to rededicate yourself. She explained the importance of rededication
and went through all the protocols on how one becomes a proper Waqif-e-Zindagi.
After the presentation, a very informative Q&A session took place where some of the younger Waqifat were
able to ask questions to those girls who have already rededicated. Many Waqifat shared their experiences of
being a Waqifa and gave inspiration to those who had not yet rededicated themselves. Some of the girls
who had hesitations or misconceptions about rededication were able to clarify all their concerns leading to
completing their rededication. This very successful and informative workshop concluded with silent
prayers.
Our older Waqifat, Sister Amtul Musawir, Maryam Zakaria and Bariah Ahmad assisted National Muavina
Waqifate Nau, sister Mabroor Jattala Sahiba for these events.

8th Jamia Orientation Course 2014

Monday August 18 to Wednesday August 27
Masjid Baitul Hadi, Old Bridge, NJ

Alhamdulillah, another Jami'ah Orientation Camp was held successfully. This time, at a new venue from that
of previous years: Bait-ul-Hadi mosque in Central New Jersey - a fitting venue as it is home to two Jami'ah
students and numerous future prospects inshaAllah.
The camp was held the day after Jalsa Salana USA on August 18th and ended on August 27th.
A group of Jami'ah students, headed by Hammad Mobeen Sahib, conducted the camp as mentors, teachers,
referees, friends, and older brothers.
The goal of the camp was simple: to have the participants of the camp experience and ultimately understand
the day to day life of a Jami'ah student. Participants would begin the day at 5:00 AM with Fajr Prayers, followed by attendance, announcements for the day, and time for independent recitation of the Holy Quran. Afterwards, participants had ample time to nap or get ready for the day as breakfast was served at 7:00 AM.
Classes would begin promptly at 8:00 AM with subjects including Arabic, Urdu, Ahadith, History of Islam, and
Attributes of Allah all taught by the Jami'ah students. Classes would proceed until 11:00 AM where participants would then have a half hour break for snacks and rest and then continue again at 11:30 AM and end for
the day at 1:30 PM for Zuhr Prayers. Lunch would then be served at 2:00 PM with different items on the menu
including cold cut sub sandwiches, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and even a Barbecue one day - just to
name a few.
After lunch, participants would have free time to socialize, play games, rest and catch up on their homework
for the day until Asr prayer at 5:45 PM followed by attendance roll call, announcements and a quick snack

break until 6 PM when sports would begin. Many organized sports were played including soccer, volleyball,
basketball, tug-of-war, football, and races, all refereed by the Jami'ah students. Sports would be played until 8 PM where participants would break for Maghrib prayer followed by attendance, and announcements.
Afterward, participants would partake in educational competitions including recitation of the Holy Quran,
Urdu Poem, and prepared and impromptu speeches on some nights. Other nights would have Question and
Answer sessions with the Jami'ah students about anything the participants wanted to discuss.
They would then break for Isha prayer at 8:45 PM followed by attendance, announcements and dinner which
was served at 9:00 PM. Many dinner entrees were served such as spaghetti, gyros, chicken and rice and
many more. After dinner, the participants would break up into groups headed by Jami'ah students that divided to clean the mosque to prepare for the next day. Soon after, participants would prepare for bed and
lights would be turned off at 11:00 PM.
However, just like in Jami'ah, the camp was not all studies as the participants were given the opportunity to
take a break from the books and go on an adventurous, thrill-filled day at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ - home to the tallest, fastest roller coaster in the world. Participants arrived at the gates at 10:00
AM and broke into groups headed by Jami'ah students and enjoyed the park until 3 PM where everyone met
up at a picnic area outside the park for lunch and Zuhr and Asr prayers. They then broke up into the same
groups and headed back to the park for more rides and fun until it was time to head back to the mosque at 7
PM for dinner and Maghrib and Isha prayers.
All in all, by the grace of Allah, the Jami'ah Orientation Camp was a huge success. It was enjoyed not only
by the participants of the camp but by the Jami'ah students, organizers, and volunteers alike. This would not
have been the success it was without the help of the innumerable volunteers and the support of the organizers including, but not limited to, Hafiz Samiullah Sahib and Abdul Nasir Sahib. May Allah accept the efforts
put forth by all those who were a part of the camp and bless the mission to spread the message of the
Promised Messiah to the corners of the Earth. Ameen!

Combined MD, DC and VA Waqfe Nau Regional Ijtema

June 2014 at Baitur Rhman Mosque

Alhamdulillah it was a very successful Ijtema in which Waqfeen, Waqfaat and their
parents participated. Here are some highlights. This was a combined ijtema of three
regions: Maryland, DC/North Virginia and South Virginia/Richmond. About 15 under
-7 Waqfeen and Waqfaat made their presentations. Two group presentations were
done from 18+ Waqfeen and one from 18+ Waqfaat. Respected Maulana Naseem
Mahdi sahib conducted a Question/Answer session with waqfeen/waqfaat & parents
which people enjoyed. He also distributed the prizes at the end.
Assistant National Secretary Syed Fazal Ahmad sahib and Reg. Waqfe Nau Secretary
Mansoor Ahmed sahib also addressed the waqfeene nau. A new pattern for competitions was tried out during this Ijtema. About 70-80 waqfeen and waqfaat attended
this ijtema along with 25-30 parents.
Overall I believe this ijtema was very helpful to motivate the waqfeen and Waqfat for
their waqf. May Allah bless all who participated and make them beneficial fruits of
the Jama`at of the Promised Messiah (AS). Ameen.
