Because of antiAhmadiyya
circumstances in
Malaysia and Indonesia,
it is difficult for Huzoor to
visit these countries.
Allah the Exalted,
however, has granted
an opportunity to meet
members of these
Jama’ats in Singapore.
Along with some non-Ahmadis, over three thousand
Ahmadis visited Singapore from Indonesia, Malaysia,
Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and the Philippines to
see Hazrat Khalifatul Masih (aba)

These heinous acts are condemned by the fair-minded
local and International media.
We are grateful to all the organisations or individuals who
spoke up against the persecution of Jama’at.

Barbaric persecution of Ahmadis is worst in
Pakistan and then in Indonesia; all this in the name
of God and His Prophet (pbuh).
Persecution is carried
out in the name of God
Ahmadis are persecuted
in the name of the
Prophet
Whose teaching is
replete with the
commandments
about paying the
dues of mankind
who was ‘mercy
for all the worlds’,
Who gives Muslims
the teaching of
compassion and

who forbade
cruelty even during

The Prophet ( pbuh ) was
most displeased with his
Companion for killing a
person who had recited the
Kalima ( during war)
When the Companion said
that the Kafir had uttered the
Kalima out of fear of the
sword, the Holy Prophet
(pbuh) asked him, did you
see the inside of his heart?

Ahmadiyyat is the true Islam which is embedded in our
hearts and no amount of opposition can take away the strong
roots of our faith.

Ahmadiyyat has shown us ways of progression of faith from
which the non-Ahmadi Muslims are unfamiliar.
Ahmadis should remember that believers are like a body. If
one suffers pain the other also feels the pain. This is why the
pain of Ahmadis living in countries where persecution is
taking place should be felt by every Ahmadi around the
world.

• As fortitude comes with the

• If there is no progression in
[individuals’] Ahmadiyyat, then
there is no point in being an

Muslim organisations
This is
have put up
signboards all over
against
Malaysia that say that
the
‘Qadianis’ are not
teachings
of Islam
Muslims, hurting
sentiments of Ahmadis.
The Holy Prophet
(pbuh) says that
anyone who
professes Kalima is
a Muslim..
In fact he said that
one who only says
‘there is no God but
Allah’ is a Muslim
..the Holy Qur’an
even states not to
tell a person who
says Salaam to
you that he is not
a believer.

There has been unfortunate incidence in Malaysia, where
Muslims raised hue and cry over a Christian priest saying
that it is alright for Christians to use the term Allah
because He is also their Allah.
.. the matter was taken to the court.
Unfortunately the court decided that only
Muslims can use the term Allah and no one
else has the right to say that Allah belongs to
them.

These worldly people restricted Allah’s name in
the name of Allah!
Whereas, Allah the Exalted states: ‘All praise
belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds.’
(1:2) that is, He is the Lord of everyone,
whether Muslim or non-Muslim.

He also states: ‘Allah enlarges His provisions for
whomsoever He pleases…’ (13:27) Is someone else
providing for Christians, Jews or the others?

Allah stated in the Holy Qur’an through the earlier Prophets
that: ‘Allah, your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers of
old?’ (37:127) Thus, how can Muslims have ownership of
Allah?
Allah the Exalted states about the Christians : ‘Say, ‘O
People of the Book! come to a word equal between us
and you — that we worship none but Allah…’ (3:65) That
is, the commonality/common value between Muslims and
Christians is the Being of Allah the Exalted.
Just as a Muslim has the right to say Allah, so does a
Christian and anyone else.

Today only Ahmadis can inform the world
about the teachings of true Islam, the truth
about the Being and station of Allah the
Exalted and the teachings of the Holy Qur’an.
It is for the Ahmadis of Malaysia to
astutely inform their countrymen about
the teachings of Islam..
… and to make them see that they are
bringing the beautiful teachings of Islam
in disrepute by following the so-called
Ulema (religious scholars).
May Allah the Exalted remove their veils of

of the Holy Prophet

• Allah the Exalted states that it is
a blessed model for true
Muslims
• He is a perfect exemplar for us
in domestic matters, societal
matters, matters dealing with
outsiders and matters pertaining
to dealing with other nations and
countries.
• When presenting the true facet
of ‘mercy for all the worlds’ to
the world, we ourselves have to
demonstrate a model of love
and brotherhood
• we also have to put [his ways] in
practice and attract the others
with our practices.

To express our gratitude, we have to try and

Islam, sacrifice our emotions and work hard to
understand the true teaching.
We should watch MTA regularly and make a
point of listening to the Friday sermon
regularly.
There is a great need to pay attention to this.

‘It is important to continue scrutinising the

it in your practical life.’
‘God’s succour comes to those alone who
always step up in piety and do not stay
stagnant. It is these whose ending is good.’
‘Allah the Exalted has taught the prayer in the
Holy Qur’an: ‘…make my seed righteous
for me…’ (46:16), that is, also reform my wife
and children. While praying for one’s condition
to go through pure changes, one should also
pray for one’s children and wife because often
man faces problems arising due to wife and
