PURPOSES OF JALSA SALANA
(FRIDAY SERMON BY HAZRAT KHALIFATUL MASIH V.)
THE JALSA 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, buying, 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 maximum benefit from
them.
BLESSINGS OF THE JALSA
Ahmadis 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 Jalsa is 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.
Guest should remember that all these arrangements are temporary.
The volunteers should work very hard to serve the guests, but
occasionally if there is any shortfall, it should be overlooked.
If any guest finds a shortfall, they should gently draw the attention of
the workers to it. There is no need to be angry. The arrangements are
large scale and there are bound to be some deficiencies. They should be
tolerated and overlooked.
ADVICE FOR HOSTS & WORKERS
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.
