Friday Sermon
'Khaira Ummah' (Best People)
During his Friday Sermon on the 4th Feb 2011:
Hudhur gave a discourse on ‘Khaira Ummah’ (best people) and the
standard set by the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on
him) in his Friday Sermon today. He cited the Quranic verse: ‘You are
the best people raised for the good of
mankind; you enjoin what is good and
forbid evil and believe in Allah. And if
the People of the Book had believed, it
would have surely been better for
them. Some of them are believers, but
most of them are disobedient.’
(3:111). Hudhur said the subjectmatter
of this verse requires repeated
reminding and this is why he has given
discourses on it before. In it God
had given a huge responsibility to those who believe, safeguard and
strengthen their own belief as well as that of their next generation,
and who also advise good to all and sundry around them for the sake
of God. In the current time, these are believers, who have accepted the
Imam of the age, who is the true and ardent devotee of the Holy
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). Just as the early
Muslims kept the Quranic commandments and pronouncements of the
Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) in view and put
them in practice in order to seek God’s pleasure and were successful
in this, in the current age, this is the obligation of Ahmadis.
