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 showing off latest fashions.
Greet each other with smiles. If you have any ill
feelings end them with smiles in these days.
Spread good words and urge others to perform
good deeds and tell them to desist from bad practices.
After all, this is the prime purpose of Jalsa
Salana.
Care should be taken that ladies and children sit and listen to the Jalsa
proceedings quietly. Try to derive the maximum benefit from the Jalsa.
If your child is crying, the parent should comfort the child and take them
outside the hall.
Blessings of Jalsa
If the blessings of Jalsa are kept in mind, then attendance on both days is
essential. Listen to the programme in silence and with full attention.
