Today's Friday sermon Huzoor explains about the excellence and the significance of Friday Prayers.
Allah has commanded Muslims that, the moment they hear the call for Friday prayers, they should turn their attention to the remembrance of Allah and leave aside their work.
Huzoor says the first act of piety one shows in coming for Friday Prayers is the sense of obedience to the commandment of Allah.This act of obedience of a person to leave all his work and come to the mosque for the sake of Allah brings success.
The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said Ramadan being the most excellent of all months, Friday is the excellent of all days and is the greatest in the sight of Allah.
Also, those who arrives in the mosque early and wait for the sermon to begin is rewarded abundantly.
Each Friday a moment comes when Allah accepts all prayers and the reward of good works is increased many times on Friday.Huzoor says Fridays of Ramadan have particular importance,that Allah with immense grace comes even nearer and listens to us day and night.
Huzoor says it should not be just the Fridays of Ramadan or the last Friday in Ramadan that should motivate us to go to the Mosque.Rather we, Ahmadis who believes in Promised Messiah (as)should stay firm on righteousness and observe this Friday and all Fridays to come.May Allah enable us to do so. Ameen

Seek Forgiveness from God (Sep 19 2008)
This Friday sermon Huzoor emphasized on Allah's mercy and forgiveness for the Muslims who keep fast and pray during this Holy month of Ramadhan.
Huzoor says it is with Allah's mercy alone that one is enabled to fast. Allah creates a special environment for the month of Ramadan where He keeps Satan the evil one away from believers, so that he is not free to tempt us and make us difficult in doing good things.
Allah asks us to 'seek forgiveness' and says 'surely, I am Most Forgiving and Merciful'. Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that Allah states "I forgive the sins or the mistakes, even if the sins are [the size of] mountains". Therefore, Huzoor says it is the task of us to seek and turn to Allah during this month when Allah's mercy and forgiveness is granted more than at other times.
It should not be that, we seek forgiveness during this Holy month and completely forgets about it for the rest of the year. Rather, we should strive and promise not to repeat our past mistakes. This indeed is true Istigfar –seeking forgiveness.
Huzur also said it is kind of difficult for us to keep strong and do good always because of our human weaknesses and Satan the evil one is ever ready to tempt us. Therefore it is only possible to stay protected, when we continue, seeking forgiveness from Allah so that he may cover our weaknesses.
Hence Huzoor says, even at a small mistake done, we should feel extremely restless and should promptly seek forgiveness and replace our bad things with good and pious things. Verily, Allah is with those who do good deeds. During these days we should pray for mankind in general and Muslims in particular. May we be enabled to gather blessings and do good works. Ameen.

Prayers and Patience (Sep 12 2008)
In Today's Friday sermon Huzoor speaks of prayer and patience,the station of the martyrs (the one who gives their life for the cause of faith),the reason for sufferings that tests one's faith.
Allah says a true Muslim is one who is not disturbed when difficulties befall.They will not show any uneasiness, nor complain, neither turn to people around, rather only turn to Allah with patience and prayers and stay firm on the task that has been entrusted to them.
And the task is Huzoor says, to establish Unity of God, take the message of the Prophet of God (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and also the message of the Imam of the age.To achieve this it may be that the believers have to sacrifice their wealth and lives and endure their enemies
Huzur mentioned about two martyrs whose lives were taken by our enemies.Huzur said our enemies oppose us because of our acceptance of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace).Allah says those who give their lives for the cause of faith they hold a high place in Allah's sight.
Hence our task is, Huzoor says, to stay firm on our faith.These difficulties come to show us our Allah's Power and His Signs.If we show patience our Living God, shall bring our enemies to their end and we will see 'clear victory' which was revealed and repeatedly promised by Allah to our Promised Messiah (On whom be peace).
Huzur said Dr.Abdul Mannan siddiqi sb who gave his life was a well known physician with a humble personality and a very strong faith.And Saith Muhammad Yusuf sahib was a sociable, compassionate person who served the jamaat most sincerely.Huzoor said he was very pleased with them for their sincerity and dedication.
Huzoor asked us to pray abundantly during these days of Ramadhan for the injured and the family members of the deceased and said may Allah keep everyone in His protection. Ameen.

Blessings of Ramdhan (Sep 5, 2008)
In this Friday Sermon Huzoor gave a discourse on the excellence and blessings of the Holy month of Ramadhan.
Huzoor said fasting is prescribed at this month of Ramadhan on all the believers so that one adopts Taqwa means righteousness and come into Allah's refuge to be protected from all evil and do good.
Huzoor said fasting is prescribed at this month of Ramadhan on all the believers so that one adopts Taqwa means righteousness and come into Allah's refuge to be protected from all evil and do good.
Each one of us should make sure to stay away from anything that Allah disliked in this month. We have to keep our heart, eyes, hands and every part of us away from anything that Allah dislikes. If we do not take care of these, there is no pointwe starve. Allah does not need us to starve. This is the month for us to practice good deeds.
Huzoor said our God is the Lord of all the worlds and He is All Powerful and He is pleased when His servant strives to attain His closeness and is drawn to do good. We should, therefore, supplicate to Allah during these days more than before.Our prayers should not be made only when we are in need rather our sincere prayers should be made to attain Allah's pleasure and His love.
Huzoor said we Ahmadis should pray fervently for the triumph of our faith, Ahmadiyyat the True Islam and for each one of us to stay firm on our faith.
This Ramadhan being the first Ramadan of the second century of Ahmadiyya Khilafat, Huzoor said with prayers and supplications we should make this Ramadan that would determine new paths, and generate prayers that would absorb love of our God
