NOTE: Al Islam Team takes full responsibility for any errors or miscommunication in this Synopsis of the Friday Sermon

Sermon Delivered by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (aba);

Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

relayed live all across the globe

Proclaim the bounties of Allah

August 26th 2016

Proclaim the bounties of Allah

When Allah said, "I will cause thy message to reach the corners of Earth", then Allah is doing much of the work Himself.

It is only God who is creating this spirit that the message of Ahmadiyyat and the philosophy of Islam is true.

Islam is destined to spread through the Promised Messiah (may peace be on him)

Training the children, imparting Islamic education and making them a useful being in the society is also part of our job.

Discharging neighbour's rights is a basic principle of Islam

May Allah help us to always absorb His blessings and enable us to fulfil His rights.

August 26th 2016

There are occurrences that show us the marvellous backdrops of the

faith and belief in Ahmadiyyat of the people living in faraway places.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

On the second day of the Jalsa in Britain, we relate

Allah's countless blessings. Facts and figures of

different departments are presented, progress of

jama'at is reported.

Today as well, I will relate some of these happenings.

They show how Allah moves the hearts of the people living in different

countries.

Some are told the truth through dreams

A book or a piece of literature becomes the source of propagation

Opposition to Ahmadiyyat makes it spread

Sometimes the conduct and behaviour of Ahmadis attract others to Ahmadiyyat.

It is true that with reference to the

Promised Messiah (peace may be

upon him), spreading the

message of Islam and opening the hearts of people

for it is being done by Allah Himself.

When Allah said, "I will cause thy

message to reach the corners of

Earth", then Allah is doing much of the

work Himself.

Every right-minded Ahmadi is cognizant of the

fact that the progress of

Ahmadiyyat is taking place not due to our efforts and resources but

it is happening due to the

blessings of Allah.

Regarding the training of the children, there is a remarkable change

in their lives due to the acceptance of Ahmadiyyat or its company and

people do feel it.

We are trying to propagate the true Islam under a system,

but the fruition is a lot more than our efforts.

The missionary from Conakry, Guinea writes that a two-page leaflet has been distributed

far and wide in the country.

We are receiving phone calls from far flung areas of the country that the people used to

listen from their fore fathers about Imam Mahdi (peace be on him) and the Promised

Messiah (peace be on him).

Now after reading your leaflet, we are eager to meet you because we feel that it is time

now that the Muslim Ummah needs a reformer.

Leaflet just

provided the

contact but God

had already

prepared the

hearts. The wise

people feel that

this is the age

that needs a

reformer, a

messiah, a

Mahdi.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

This is how due to God's blessing we came into contact with

many people and they did Bai't and joined Ahmadiyyat.

A missionary wrote from the Tanzania that during a Quranic exhibition a lady came to our stall.

After acquainting with the books, she bought a book that had content with reference to Christianity.

The same lady came next day with her husband, both in military uniforms as they were military personnel.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

The missionary had a long conversation with them and her husband

and they both accepted Ahmadiyyat the true Islam after doing Bai't.

The burning desire to get husband converted to Islam attracted the

blessing of God in such a way that she came there and both of them

entered the fold of the true Islam.

She had been married for a long time and was trying to educate her husband about Islam but could not get good

enough material

about Islam to convert her husband. I bought a book

and gave it to my husband. He got answers to many

questions

They were given a presentation about

Islam and Ahmadiyyat and a Q/A session was

held in a 2 ½ hour program.

Coming of the people here by themselves is a sign that Allah Himself is moving the hearts of the

people.

It is not only in Africa that the messages are reaching via leaflets or

propagation efforts or curiosity is limited to the people in Africa and

third world. Our missionary here in Huddersfield, UK writes that

leaflets were distributed in Barnsley town

After some time fifty English men and women rented a coach and

came to our mosque to attain knowledge about Islam.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

On the one hand the Muslims themselves are bringing bad name to

Islam resulting in non- Muslims' crossing the limits

and on the other hand Allah is stirring the atmosphere to attract the

attention of people understand the real Islam.

He further declared that Ahmadiyya

community is the embodiment of

love and truthfulness and though I

am a king, there is a great emperor

above me whose worship is

incumbent on all of us.

We observe how Allah has strengthened the faith of masses in far

flung areas of the world and created a sense of sacrifice in them.

As the general public of the

area belong to paganism, their

chief who is also known as

king, said that he was also a

pagan before but due to

Ahmadiyyat, now I believe in

one God.

The local traditional President said that the mosque is the standard

bearer of peace for the populace. The Chief declared the mosque to

be the light tower and guide for the council of the area.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

Ameer of Benin writes that a new mosque was built in Sofo with the

loving and selfless participation of men and women.

It is only God who is creating this spirit that the message of

Ahmadiyyat and the philosophy of Islam is true.

This is the real education and Islam that Ahmadiyyat is introducing

and causing pagans to accept One God.

He also gave a part of his land for Namaz centre and himself built a

temporary structure to start the Quran classes. This is how Allah

paves the ways to spread Islam.

More than two hundred people did the Bai'at and a Jama'at was

established.

Two days after the Bai'at, Eric's house wall fell down during a rain

and wind storm, and his 8-month old child died under the wall.

The idol worshipers said to him that he started experiencing difficulties

right after joining the Jama'at.

He replied that he

believed in the truth, he

will never retreat. He is

Ahmadi and will stay

Ahmadi till he dies. This

is firmness of faith and

devotion to Unity of

God that is being

entrenched in the

hearts of the people

through the Promised

Messiah (peace may be

on him).

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

Another Muallam from Benin writes that during a radio program,

they received a phone call from a man named Eric who invited us to

visit his village

They held on to Ahmadiyyat and at that time preferred their own

modest mosque to the opponents' grand mosque built with Kuwaiti

money.

The missionary from Burkina Faso states that this year they were able to build a beautiful

mosque in Tenkodgo.

When Ahmadiyyat was introduced in that village, the

people had done the Bai'at with their

Imam.

At that time the opposing Maulvis

offered to give their own beautiful

mosque to them if they would abandon

Ahmadiyyat.

Today they have a brick mosque built along the highway and the

news has reached all the adjoining areas and the whole city. Many

dignitaries, Imams and kings came at the inaugural ceremony.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

(may peace be on him) and is spreading, cannot be seen anywhere

Then we see how Allah guides through dreams. San

Pedro is a region in Ivory Coast. In a city of this

region, a friend Zona Ahmad did Bai'at because of a

dream.

He was a Christian before and after accepting Islam, joined the Wahabi sect. He relates that after accepting Islam, he learned prayers

and started offering them in the mosque.

The very first time I came to know in the dream that that

was a prophet of God. I thought I was shown the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon

him) in my dream.

Once again I saw in my dream the picture of the same person appearing on the T.V. and someone was reciting the holy Quran at the same time.

Below the T.V. was written 'Mission Islamic Ahmadiyya' in

French.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

After this dream I asked about Ahmadiyya Jama'at from the Imam of

the mosque. He told me that Ahmadis are not Muslims.

In the same period, he saw a saintly person twice in a dream.

I got worried when I came home. Who are these

Ahmadis that are being called 'non-believers' by the Imam? Then I prayed to God

to show me the right path.

One day a friend of mine told that there was Ahmadiyyat in another city. I found my way to the mission house where missionary introduced me to

Ahmadiyyat.

I was amazed to see the picture of

the Promised messiah (may peace be upon him). I was told that the man in picture was the Mahdi and the

Promised Messiah (peace be upon him).

I accepted Ahmadiyyat then

and there and told the missionary that that was the saintly person I saw twice in my dream!" He

told the missionary that he filled the

Bai'at form then but actually he had

accepted Ahmadiyyat

when Allah guided him in the dream. Now he has joined

the donation system and prays regularly at home

and offers Tahajjud as well. He is spreading the message in the area and to

the Imam as well.

These are the works of Allah. This is how he is Guiding. On the other

hand, there are people who are drowned in doubts because their

intentions are not good.

About two years ago when he was changing channels of the TV that he looked at the Al-Arabia MTA and sew the picture of the

Promised Messiah (may peace be on him) and remembered his dream. He had seen the same saint in his dream.

He started watching MTA regularly and in this way he was inclined toward Ahmadiyyat. He found the address of the Jama'at himself,

reached the Mission house and said that he wanted to do the Bai'at.

Missionary-in charge from Belgium writes that a new convert

Mr. Idrees who knew nothing about Ahmadiyyat when he

saw a saint in a dream.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

When asked to investigate before the Bai'at, he said that

he has already found the clarifications.

He further told that he was satisfied and did the Bai'at.

I prayed to God during the program to guide me toward

the people who were right. I fell asleep while praying and saw in

the dream that there was missionary in charge on one

side and the opponents on the other side.

They are engaged in arguments. When the

opponents could not answer the missionary, they throw him in a ditch and start pouring dirt

on him.

Mali is a country in Africa. An elderly person came to the mission

house there and told that he wanted to do Bai'at.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

At that time a saint appears from the sky and says that he was

Mahdi and extending his hand saves the life of that missionary.

Then I awoke and now I have no doubt about the truthfulness

of Ahmadiyyat. That is why I have come to do the Bai'at".

When the Murabbi sahib asked the reason for that he said, "Last

night I was listening to your live radio program. Some people were

cursing the Jama'at via live phone calls.

He was very happy that his child learned all that from the children's

class. He further said that he was giving that child to the Jama'at for

training as they wished.

Training the children, imparting Islamic education and making them a

useful being in the society is also part of our job.

In Sierra Leone in the Bo Jama'at, our Muallam started

taking children's classes. A non-Ahmadi child was also attending.

One day that child's father, Abdul, who was not Ahmadi was

performing ablution.

His 10-11 years old son told him that he was not

performing the ablution properly and demonstrated the

correct way before him and told him the ablution prayer as

well.

The training that we give to children also impresses the people.

This must be remembered by all the parents and by the system that

training the children is a great responsibility given to them. It also

opens new ways of Tabligh and training for us.

Discharging

of Islam,

I would rather go to the other mosques to say prayers.

I had heard so many negative things about the Ahmadyyat that despite Ahmadiyya mosque

being close to my house,

Before joining Ahmadiyyat, I used to offer prayers in the non-Ahmadiyya mosques.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

Our missionary writes from Ivory Coast that a new convert, Azmi

sahib has joined the Jama'at this year and he relates his story:

Once I got very ill and the Imam of the Ahmadiyya mosque

came to ask me about my health.

I wish that after completing the secondary school, he gets

admission in the Jamia Ahmadiyya and serves the faith after

devoting his life.

Seeing me, my children also got interest in the Jama'at. My son is

studying in the secondary school.

I read the books of the Promised Messiah

(peace be on him) and was convinced that if

there was a Jama'at is following the Quran and

Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (peace be on

him),

then it is only the Jama'atAhmadiyya. So I did the Bai'at. Seeing me, my

children also got interest in the Jama'at. So I did

the Bai'at.

After regaining health, I started going to the Ahmadiyya mosque to

say prayers.

I got interested in the Jama'at after listening to the sermons and other

speeches.

By grace of Allah, the way the opponents are trying to

impede our ways, He is providing means to stifle their

arguments and increasing the faithfulness of the new

converts.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said:

The favour that God has done to us that He made us Ahmadis, He may grant us steadfastness in that and keep on raising our

status in faith and belief. Ameen.

May Allah help us to always absorb His blessings and enable us to fulfil His rights.

These are a few incidents of Allah's blessings.
