Tehrik of Prayers
and Worship
Hadhrat
Khalifatul Masih Vaba
IN HIS
FAITH-INSPIRING FRIDAY SERMON OF 27th MAY
2005 Huzuraba SPOKE ON THE DIVINE ESTABLISHMENT
OF KHILAFAT & GAVE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
In anticipation of 100 years
of Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya to be completed in 2008, Huzuraba
appealed to the Community to engage in worship and
prayers. Huzuraba specified the prayers
below. In addition Huzuraba enjoined to
say two nawafil prayers everyday
for the progress of the Community and
to keep one nafl (optional) fast each month
with the intention that may Allah keep the Ahmadiyya
Khilafat established forever. Insh’Allah.
1. Recite Surah Al
Fatiha seven times daily, reflecting over it so that
you are saved from trials, disorder and dajl (Antichrist).
In
the name of Allah the Gracious, the Merciful
All praise
belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds
The Gracious, the
Merciful
Master
of the Day of Judgement
Thee alone do we
worship and Thee alone do we beseech for help
Guide us to the right
path.
The path of those
upon whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings,
but not those who have incurred Thy displeasure,
nor of those who have gone astray
|

2. Recite the following
prayer abundantly.
| Rabbana afrigh ‘alayna
sabra(n) wa thabbit aqdaamana wansurna ‘alal
qawmil kafireen.
“ O our Lord,
pour forth steadfastness upon us, and make our
steps firm, and help us against the disbelieving
people.”
(Surah Al Baqarah verse 251)
|
 |
3. A prayer that is
most significant in keeping hearts straight. Hadhrat
Nawab Begum Sahiba saw in a vision that the Promised
Messiah (on whom be peace) enjoined reciting it abundantly:
Rabbana
la tuzigh quloubana ba’da ith hadaytana
wa hab lana min ladunka rahmatan inaka antal
wahhab
“ Our Lord,
let not our hearts become perverse after Thou
hast guided us; and bestow on us mercy from
Thyself; surely, Thou alone art the Bestower.”
|
 |
4. Also the prayer:
(Prayer of the
Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be on him)
Allahumma inna naj’aluka
fi nu’hourihim wa na’outhu bika
min shurourihim
“ O Allah!
We make You a shield against the enemy and we
seek Your protection against their evil designs.”
|
 |
5. Huzuraba
enjoined to profusely engage in Istaghfar; to recite:
Astaghfirullaha Rabbi
min kuli tha(m)bin wa atoubu ilayhe
“
I beg pardon of Allah, my Lord, for all my sins
and I turn to Him.”
|
 |
6. Huzuraba
enjoined to recite “Salat un Nabi” (Durood
Sharif) abundantly, he said each Ahmadi should pay
particular attention to this in the next three years:
0 Allah, bless
Muhammad and his people, as Thou didst bless
Abraham and his people- Thou art indeed the
Praiseworthy, the Exalted
0 Allah, prosper
Muhammad and his people, as Thou didst prosper
Ibraheem and his people -- Thou art indeed
the Praiseworhty, the Exalted.
