We are here to worship God - (Nov 28th 2008)

Our dear Huzoor delivered his Friday sermon from the Masjid Bait-ul-Qudus, Calicut, in the state of Kerala,India.

Huzoor said, the purpose of man's creation is to worship God. After believing in One God, the most important and fundamental way of worshiping God is through offering five daily prayers.

Prayers are very important to achieve nearness of God. Prayers should be said as if we stand right in front of God. We should understand God is watching us and He can see us. Prayers offered this way make us feel the nearness of living God.

Only righteous people can achieve the nearness of God. To stay righteous we must keep away from all bad things and embrace good things and practice the teachings of Holy prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him) and Promised Messiah (on whom be peace).

Remember, Huzoor said, Khilafat is only promised to those who are righteous.If we want this blessing to stay with us, we must always keep the purpose of our creation in mind, that is to worship one and only God.

May God help us to do so. Ameen.

Al Wahab- The Bestower ( Nov 21st 2008 )

In today's Friday sermon Huzoor explained about a Quranic prayer which talks about the divine attribute of God called Al-Wahab means The Bestower.

Prayer - "Our God,let not our hearts be deviated from the right path after you have guided us.Bestow your mercy on us. Sure, you are the Bestower"

Gods grace and blessings have enabled us to accept Holy prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and the eternal system of Khilafat.This is the right path we Ahmadi Muslims believe and has been guided by Almighty God.

Huzur explained we ask Gods mercy to stay in this path and humbly supplicate not to take us away from this blessing due to any negligence of ours.We ask to keep us safe from all evil and increase us in taqwa and in faith.

Huzur said saying this beautiful prayer should be ‘routine’ for every Ahmadi This supplication will help safeguard our Salat and our Salat will, in turn, safeguards us. May Allah enable us to safeguard our worships and our deeds. Ameen.

Al Wahab - The Bestower (Nov 14th 2008)

In Today's Friday Sermon our dear Huzur explained one of the Divine attribute of God called Al Wahab. Wahab is an arabic word which means Bestower. Bestower is the one who bestows and bless on his servants.

God is the one who blesses when we ask and also when we do not ask. He bestows His blessings all the time in our lives which when we look upon makes us realize indeed our God is a Living God.

Huzur explained about the prayer God has taught us, based upon this attribute . The prayer where parents pray for each other and their children, so that moral excellence and goodness may continue from within the family to one generation to another.

To leave behind a child whether its boy or girl, who is firm on taqwa - righteousness becomes a foremost duty of any parent who lives the life of a servant of the Gracious God and gives precedence to God in all matters.

Allah only wishes us to learn ways and means of seeking good.He has drawn our attention to a most significant aspect that we should not simply seek the pleasure of God for ourselves,rather also for our future generations.

May Allah enable all of us to do so. Ameen

Objectives of the Mosque (Nov 7th 2008)

Huzur delivered today’s Friday Sermon from Bradford, England at the occasion of the inauguration of a new mosque Baitul Mahdi.

Huzur praised the beautiful mosque and said the purpose of having a mosque is to fulfill the rights of the One and Only God and our fellow mankind.The real beauty of the mosque will be seen when we walk in the path of taqwa-righteousness and fulfill our objectives.

Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) was sent so that people may recognize God.He had come to lay the foundation of peace.The mosques of his Community should lay the foundation of love,
peace and forbearance.

Huzoor says each Ahmadi should try that along with the building of mosque they focus on worship of God with sincerity and create a peaceful atmosphere. Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said God makes a home in Paradise for the one who builds a mosque on earth.

Huzoor announced contribution made by different Jamaat across the world for Tehrik e Jadid this year.Huzur prayed that may Allah reward all those who participated, may He bless their wealth and may they enhance their standards of worship of Allah.Ameen.
