Dr. Mohammad Ahmad, Sister Lubna Ahmad and<br />

Fazeel S. Khan are ever busy in interfaith and dawah<br />

and his family with whom he was<br />

staying during his visit to Ohio.<br />

Hazrat Ameer delivered the Eid<br />

Khutba in which he explained the<br />

meaning of sacrifice as the sacrifice<br />

of the Nafs (or low desires) for<br />

EDITOR’S NOTES<br />

<strong>Ahmadiyya</strong> Movement. By the Grace of Almighty Allah<br />

all our projects are doing very well. A prominent feature<br />

of our visits is holding symposia and lectures, usually in<br />

conjunction with universities, other <strong>Lahore</strong> <strong>Ahmadiyya</strong><br />

Jamaats, and civic bodies. Mr. Fazeel S Khan accompanies<br />

us when possible, and is a popular speaker at<br />

the Philippines events. All traveling, board and lodging<br />

expenses are borne by Fazeel, Samina and myself.<br />

We look forward to another very busy and productive<br />

Strengthen our footsteps and Grant us the resolve and<br />

courage to serve Islam and the <strong>Ahmadiyya</strong> Movement.<br />

during his recent visit to Ohio.<br />

members until late afternoon, then<br />

left for Cinicinnati.<br />

We were very glad to have<br />

Hazrat Ameer visit the USA Jamaat<br />

for Eid and Jummah prayers. May<br />

Almighty Allah reward and bless<br />

him for his efforts.<br />

We were also very happy to<br />

have Mrs. Sabiha Saeed, the<br />

Secretary of the Women’s Branch<br />

of the Central Anjuman as a guest<br />

for Eid prayers. She was visiting her<br />

daughter Dr. Halima Saeed and<br />

son-in-law Dr. Asad Ahmad in<br />

Akron, Ohio. We always look forward<br />

to Mrs. Sabiha Saeed’s visits<br />

and her Quran Dars when she is in<br />

Ohio visiting her family.
