True believer (Oct 17th 2008)

Huzur delivered today’s historic Friday Sermon from Berlin, Germany at the inauguration of Khadija Mosque.

Huzoor talked about the pure and sincere sacrifice made by the believers for the construction of the mosque and elaborated on the characteristics of a True believer, who believes and obeys Allah, His messenger and have accepted Promised Messiah (On whom be peace).

Believer does good and forbids evil. He does everything out of love and fear of Allah. He is regular in observing prayers at the prescribed time and pays zakat.

Huzoor says being a believer, we should raise the standards of saying the truth and make it our distinction to always speak the truth. Honoring promises should be our character and identity so that anybody around us would trust us.

We should be good and kind to our neighbors and friends who lives next door and in school. We should not think ill of others and make negative comments. Making sacrifices for each other to bond with true friendship, forgiveness and patience should be our way.

May we set good examples and practice the true spirit of Islam and Ahmadiyyat and love of God and His Messenger. May Allah enable us all to do so. Ameen

Mosque-The House of God (Oct 10th 2008)

Huzur delivered today’s Friday Sermon from the very first mosque ever built in France,in the town of Saint-Prix named Masjid Mubarak, Bait ul salaam.

Huzur said having a new Mosque is something that should make us feel very thankful and be grateful to Allah. The way to be grateful is to make regular five daily prayers, be righteous and do good deeds.

Mosque makes worship of God easier. Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that anywhere an introduction of Islam is needed, a mosque should be built. We Ahmadi Muslims holds this responsibility of representing a True Islam, having accepted the Imam of Age Promised Messiah (on whom be peace).

Huzoor says the real beauty of the mosque is not in beautiful building, rather it is, in gathering of sincere worshipers for daily prayers.Also, our real beauty is not in our physical appearance rather it is in our righteousness.The one who keeps away from bad and practice good makes him/her more beautiful in the sight of Allah.

With sincerity in our prayers and righteousness in our hearts,we should pray to enable to take the message of The Ahmadiyaat - The true Islam to the good people. May Allah help us to do so. Ameen

Al Muhaimin - The Protector (Oct 3rd 2008)

In today’s sermon, Huzoor discussed one of the many names of Allah called " Al-Muhaimin".
Al-Muhaimin is a Arabic word which means The Protector.It also means a Guardian the one who takes care of the person.The one Who watches over us all the time and make us feel, safe and secure from harmful things.

Huzoor says especially the messengers of God who bears the message from God to the mankind,benefits more with this character of Allah Almighty.

When messengers of God go through very difficult times and the situation they are facing seems so difficult,then Allah with his mighty power protects them as if its a miracle.Allah does so, so that the truthfulness of the prophets is upheld and the message they conveyed be thus revealed to the entire mankind in the world.

Huzoor(aba) said Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and our Promised Messiah (as), they all emerged victorious on all counts is a proof in itself that they were a true Prophet of God and that God was with them at every step of the way.

Huzoor says in a dream he was told to convey the jamaat members to recite the following prayer.
"Lord, everything serves Thee;then Lord protect us and help us and have mercy on us"
May Allah keep us away from all harm and protect us from all sorts of evil. Ameen.

Significance of Friday Prayers (Sep 26th 2008)

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.
