Friday Sermon / Khutba Jumuah [خطبہ جمعہ ] 14 October 2022 -by Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (ATBA)
ایمان کے اجزاء اور عبادات کا معیار
خطبہ جمعہ 14؍ اکتوبر 2022ء
فرمودہ حضرت مرزا مسرور احمد، خلیفۃ المسیح الخامس ایدہ اللہ تعالیٰ بنصرہ العزیز
After reciting Tashahhud, Ta’awwuz and Surah al-Fatihah, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (aba) said that it is a great blessing of God upon those who have come to the USA for enabling them to settle in this developed country.
His Holiness (aba) said that over the past few years, many Ahmadis of Pakistan have settled in the USA and they continue to do so, on account of the fact that the conditions for Ahmadis have continued to become increasingly difficult in Pakistan. Ahmadis should be grateful to such governments who grant them refuge. However, the greatest favour of God upon us is that He has enabled us to accept the Imam of the Age, and the most ardent devotee of the Holy Prophet (sa). Therefore, if we truly wish to be grateful to God, it is incumbent upon us to obey His commandments, do justice to worshipping Him and do justice in fulfilling the rights owed to His creation.
His Holiness (aba) said that these are the high morals we must adopt in order to reap the blessings promised by God to the community of the Promised Messiah (as). No matter our race, whether white, African-American, Pakistani, Indian or Spanish, after having joined the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community we are all from a single spiritual father. This was the same message given by the Holy Prophet (sa) in his farewell sermon. The Promised Messiah (as) desired for his community to become an example for the world, however in order to become an example one must strive a great deal. We too will have to strive a great deal to increase the standards of our worship and of our moral conduct. These things can only be achieved when one adopts righteousness.
His Holiness (aba) said that thus, if we wish to be grateful to God, then we must constantly analyse ourselves. His Holiness (aba) prayed that may we mould ourselves according to the desires of the Promised Messiah (as), may we give precedence to our faith over the world, may we develop the fear of God and may we truly be those who do justice to ‘I bear witness that there is no God but Allah.’ May we become part of those in the latter days for whom God gave glad tidings to the Holy Prophet (sa).
His Holiness (aba) said that it was on this day 28 years ago, on 14th October that this mosque (Baitur Rahman, Maryland, USA) was inaugurated. Those living in the vicinity of this mosque should analyse themselves and see how much their spirituality has progressed in the last 28 years and whether they have done justice to this mosque. His Holiness (aba) prayed that may God continue to enable people to do justice to this mosque and keep it safe for ages to come.
