The Holy Qur’an<br />

In the Name of <strong>Al</strong>lah, Most Gracious, Ever Merciful<br />

63. Watch over Prayers, and the middle<br />

Prayer, and stand before <strong>Al</strong>lah submissively.<br />

بِسْمِ‏ هللاِ‏ الرَّحْ‏ مَٰنِ‏ الرَّحِيمِ‏<br />

(Ch. 2: V. 239)<br />

Hadith<br />

O <strong>Al</strong>lah, bless Muhammad and his people, as You did bless Ibrahim and his people—You are indeed the Praiseworthy, the Exalted.<br />

O <strong>Al</strong>lah, prosper Muhammad and his people, as You did prosper Ibrahim and his people—You are indeed the Praiseworthy, the Exalted.<br />

Hadrat Abū Huriarah narrates that the Holy Prophet said, “Our Lord<br />

descends every night to the lowest heaven when the last third of the night remains, and He<br />

says, ‘Who will call Me that I might answer him Who will ask of Me that I might give<br />

him Who will ask My forgiveness, that I might forgive him”<br />

(Tirmidhi)<br />

Writings of the Promised Messiah (as)<br />

When you stand up in prayer, you should know it for certain that your God has the<br />

power to do all that He wills. Then your prayer will be accepted and you will behold<br />

the wonders of God’s power that we have beheld. Our testimony is based on seeing and<br />

is not a mere tale. How should the supplication of a person be accepted and how should<br />

he have the courage to pray at the time of great difficulties when according to him he is<br />

opposed by the law of nature, unless he believes that God has power over everything<br />

You should not be like that. Your God is One Who has suspended numberless stars<br />

without any support and Who has created heaven and earth from nothing. Then would<br />

you think so ill of Him as to imagine that your objective is beyond His power Such<br />

thinking will frustrate you. Our God possesses numberless wonders, but only those observe<br />

them who become wholly. His with sincerity and fidelity. He does not disclose.<br />

His wonders to those who do not believe in His powers and are not faithful to Him.<br />

(Kashti Nuh, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 19, pp. 21)<br />

Short Summaries of Friday Sermons<br />

Summaries of Friday Sermons can be found on www.alislam.org - Now for your convenience, the Summary of the Friday Sermons are also available in<br />

Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word and PDF formats.<br />

Please note that these are just summaries, readers are strongly advised to listen to the full audio or video recordings available online.<br />

3 rd February 2012 – <strong>Al</strong>lah is with those who are righteous and do good<br />

Taqwa is the basis for attaining nearness to God<br />

Hudhur (aba) said that in order to manifest His Power, at times, God grants a righteous person more than the others in<br />

similar circumstances<br />

If the Divine qualities of Rabubiyyat and Rahmaniyyat (Divine quality of being Gracious) were not in motion, life would be<br />

impossible even for a moment.<br />

Those who do good for the sake of God’s pleasure are the righteous<br />

Hudhur (aba) explained the concept of Mohsineen<br />

True Righteousness and Ignorance cannot subsist together<br />

10 th February 2012 – <strong>Al</strong> Fatihah – the Essence of Qur’anic Teachings<br />

Hudhur (aba) said Surah Fatihah is read in every Salat and in Hadith it is also called Surah Salat<br />

Hudhur (aba) (aba) expounded the second verse of the Surah: ‘<strong>Al</strong>l praise belongs to <strong>Al</strong>lah, Lord of all the<br />

worlds.’ (1:2) in light of the august writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace)<br />

Hudhur (aba) explained that one cannot reach the profound meanings of these writings by listening to them once<br />

In order to acquire a correct insight into the writings of the Imam of the age and to benefit from them it is important to<br />

study these as well<br />

May God enable us to attain insight of Divine attributes in accordance to the wishes of the Promised Messiah (on whom<br />

be peace) so that we may mould our lives in line with God’s commandments<br />

17 th February 2012 – Khalifatul Masih II – a leader to emulate<br />

The main subject of his sermon was the great prophecy of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah and Mahdi<br />

(on whom be peace), concerning the Promised Reformer (Musleh Maud).<br />

This prophecy was fulfilled in the person of Hadrat Mirza Mahmud Ahmad (1889-1965), the second successor to the<br />

Promised Messiah, peace be on him<br />

Yaum Musleh Maud (The Promised Reformer Day) is celebrated in the <strong>Ahmadiyya</strong> Muslim Community every year so that<br />

members become familiar with the details of the fulfilment of this great prophecy<br />

It is not a birthday celebration as it is celebrated on the day of the prophecy (20 February 1886) and not the day of<br />

the birth of the blessed son which was 12 January 1889<br />

24 th February 2012 – Purpose of Mosques<br />

Today Hudhur (aba) inaugurated a new mosque ‘Baitul Wahid’ in Feltham [near London] and delivered his Friday sermon<br />

from there<br />

Hudhur (aba) said that any person belonging to any religion or no religion can come to a mosque.<br />

God states that when you go to the mosque for His worship, once the call for Salat is made, all your thoughts should be<br />

focussed towards being a true servant of God.<br />

Hudhur (aba) said he would like to once again remind that the due of a mosque is not met by contributing thousands of<br />

pounds. The real objective is achieved by populating it and populating it purely for the sake of God and His worship.<br />

TARBIYYAT<br />

Thursday’s voluntary fast<br />

Every local Jama’at can make their own<br />

decision to set a day for the optional fast,<br />

but it would be better if one day is chosen<br />

in the local Jama’at, preferbably a Monday<br />

or a Thursday.<br />

(Friday Sermon 14th Oct 2011)<br />

Ahmadīs in Pakistan have shown extraordinary<br />

patience and resilience in the face<br />

of severe persecution. These sacrifices<br />

and these emotions can only bear fruit if<br />

we fall down before <strong>Al</strong>lāh and wet our<br />

prayer mats with tears ... Let us, therefore,<br />

pray with deep anguish and fervour so<br />

that our prayers are heard.<br />

(Friday Sermon 7th Nov 2011)<br />

I appealed to the Jama’at to pray that we<br />

are safeguarded from the animosities and<br />

hostilities of these cruel people, I also<br />

appealed that we should pray that <strong>Al</strong>lah<br />

<strong>Al</strong>mighty cleanses the country of such<br />

people who cause disorder and oppression<br />

so that this country (Pakistan) can<br />

be saved.<br />

INNER PARK ACTIVITIES in FEBRUARY 2012<br />

Inner Park - attending lecture on Hajj and visit to Hajj Exhibition at British Museum<br />

Six of our Khuddam went to a lecture in UCL (University College London) on Friday, 10 th February 2012 departing<br />

from Southfields Station at 16:30. The lecture started at 18:00 and the topic was on Hajj. There were members attending<br />

from the Jama’at and a few others also came to gain knowledge on the concept of Hajj.<br />

After the lecture was over we all walked to the British Museum which wasn’t far away from UCL and we were most<br />

impressed with the exhibition they had displayed. The exhibition showed the history of Hajj and the challenges of<br />

those who performed the pilgrimage. With beautiful and historic artefacts, scripts and pictures alongside their descriptions<br />

made this exhibition highly interesting.<br />

The exhibition showed how the pilgrims travelled and how Hajj evolved from a journey of a few days from some<br />

surrounding areas to only a matter of an hour’s journey to the holy city of Mecca, the exhibition also showed the<br />

spiritual aspects of the place and the rituals which were and are still performed from the time of the Prophet Muhammad<br />

(saw). The lecture and Hajj exhibition went a long way to widen our knowledge about Hajj.<br />

May <strong>Al</strong>lah gives us more opportunities to attend these events.<br />

In the previous month, Inner Park created 1 video viral about the<br />

upcoming Regional Ijtema on 18th March 2012. This viral was uploaded<br />

on youtube and also on Khuddam website. Please watch<br />
