Hadrath Khalifatul Masih Vth, states - it was a hundred and twenty years ago, on 23rd March 1889, that the magnificent prophecy of the Holy Qur’an which the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) foretold was fulfilled.
On 23rd March 1889, according to the commandment of God, the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) took his first bai’at (pledge of allegiance) from the believers and hundreds of them joined the community. God promised that He himself will take care of the progress of the community. Hence the first era of the Ahmadiyya community begun.
There came many oppositions from the unbelievers, who did not believe in Promised Messiah (On whom be peace). Unbelievers made believers suffer because of their faith, and even kill them. Huzoor said today this happening more in Pakistan and also in Bulgaria and India.
Huzur said the Qur’an makes it clear that it is essential for the completion of faith that one faces difficulties.When severe difficulties are faced, one should stay steadfast and patient for the sake of God and should engage in sincere prayers and show patience at this difficult time.
Huzur said ,unbelievers have not yet realized that they are in fact causing injustice in the name of God. They are forgetting that when cruelty exceeds all limits the believers raise the call ‘when will come the help of Allah?’ – to which the response is ‘Yea, surely the help of Allah is nigh.’ (2:215).

The true commemoration of Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)- March 13th 2009
Hadrath Khalifatul Masih Vth, in his Friday sermon talked about, the true way of honoring the memory of the blessed life of our Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Almighty be upon him).
The 12th day, of third month in Islamic calender, is the day of birth of prophet Muhammad (pbuh) where some sects of Muslims celebrate this day as Milad-un-Nabi- observence of the day of birth of prophet Muhammad ( pbuh).
The early Muslims of the first three centuries, after passing away of the Prophet (pbuh), had the greatest love and devotion towards Prophet and had an excellent knowledge of his Sunnah (practice) and his Shariah (religious law). Despite this, history informs us that there is no mention of observing the day of prophet's birth, as a Birth day.
Huzur said, the commemoration of the day as such is not forbidden with the condition that no harmful new things are involved. It also does not necessarily have to be associated with a particular date as long as one derives sufficient blessings from such gatherings.
Holy Prophet (pbuh) has demonstrated a blessed model for us in everything and that is what we should aim to follow.
The Imam of the age (on whom be peace) who God has sent in the world, said that the remembrance of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) is most excellent and it brings about Divine grace, but not when it is included with moral defects which interferes with the Unity of God.

Exhortations of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). 6th March 2009
The Khalifatul Massih vth in his Friday sermon deliberately presented Promised Messiah’s (on whom be peace) advice and objectives of the community and reminded all Ahmadis in the world, their responsibilities as an Ahmadi Muslim.
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that, this age is where satan the evil one wanted to take man away from his God. It was the will of God to save man from the fire of sin and created a group of righteous people (community) to demonstrate Taqwa-righteousness and purity to the world.
Huzoor said we are greatful to belong to this community because we were born as an Ahmadi or our elders or ourselves have accepted Ahmadiyyat. We should strengthen our faith, offer our prayers regularly, demonstrate patience and goodness and always hold God as our helper all the time.
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that each stranger who meets Ahmadis observes the way they carry themselves, their ethics and manners. If he does not find them to be fine, he stumbles because of the Ahmadi. Therefore it is essential to exemplify honesty and truth because God is preparing a community of the truthful.
Huzur prayed that may Allah make each one of us truly belong to the group of the righteous and fufil our responsibilities as an Ahmadi Muslim. Ameen.

Those who are guided to the right path (27th Feb 2009)
Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih Vth in his friday sermon talked about faith inspiring incidents and experiences of some of the righteous people who are guided to the right path.
Huzoor said for the peace and guidance of the world the Living God of Islam sends His special people in every age and grants guidance to pure souls to follow His messengers.
Tufail bin Amr was a wise poet at the time of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) who decided to stay away from Prophet (pbuh) and his God’s message, wanted not to even let his voice reach him. Saying he stuffed cotton wool in his ears. One day he heard the Quranic verses that the Prophet was reciting during his Salat. He found it most fine and requested Prophet (pbuh) to recite more. After hearing those he was extremely moved and accepted Islam.
Huzoor said God continues to guide His chosen people even today and shared the story of the family of a young Christian man who lived in a small island called Rodrigues in Mauritius who accepted Ahmadiyyat. His maternal grandmother had seen the revealing dream and knew Ahmadiyya message was true. Later, when the initiation-bai’at forms were taken, seeing the forms tears welled up in the eyes of the grandmother and said she had seen a dream the previous night in which she had seen the exact papers of the bai’at form.
In Bulgaria a wife accepted Ahmadiyyat but her husband did not. Suddenly he expressed his desire to accept Ahmadiyyat quickly. When asked what the hurry was, he said he had seen Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V in his dream who had said to him ‘You do not come to us so I have come to you’.
Huzur asked us to recite the Holy prophet’s prayer, who prayed to Allah to grant guidence to his people to accept the truth . May Allah help us to do so. Ameen.
