Tribute to Syed Abdul Hayee Shah sahib

After reciting Tashahhud, Ta'awwudh and Surah Fatihah, Hudhur (ayyadhullahota'ala) said:

Every person who comes in this world has to leave it one day. This is the law of nature. The Holy Qur’an mentions the subject of: ‘Every soul shall taste of death…’ (3:186) in many places and in different ways thus drawing attention that man should be mindful of passing away from this world. This helps in keeping one mindful of God. God has informed us that with the exception of His Being everything that exists in the entire cosmos will perish. Life after death is the real and enduring life and by obeying God’s commandments in this world one can be a recipient of blessings in the Hereafter...Read more here

The Holy Quran - The source of guidance and salvation

After reciting Tashahhud, Ta'awwudh and Surah Fatihah, Hudhur (ayyadhullahota'ala) said:

MashaAllah our children generally finish their first reading of the Holy Qur’an at a very young age. Mothers who are more concerned for their children to finish their Qur’an early work very hard at it. Here as well as in other countries during Hudhur’s trips children and parents are most eager to have Ameen ceremony conducted in Hudhur’s presence. However, it is noticed that not so much concern and effort is put in repeat and constant reading of the Qur’an once its first reading is completed. When Hudhur asks about regular recitation of the Qur’an, Hudhur usually gets the response that reading is not done on a regular basis. Mothers and fathers should inculcate children to read the Qur’an regularly with due care and supervision. The parents’ concerns should not be limited to finishing the first reading of the Qur’an, rather children should be continually supervised to read it regularly. Certainly it is very important to conclude the first reading of the Qur’an and some mothers achieve this with four or five year olds. No doubt, it is a very demanding task, but its continuous reading is even more important....Read more here

Islam Ahmadiyyat - The Truth Prevails

After reciting Tashahhud, Ta'awwudh and Surah Fatihah, Hudhur (ayyadhullahota'ala) said:

From the time of the claim of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) till today, detractors of Ahmadiyyat have denied his claim. This is not borne out of any reasoning but has been due to their obstinacy, egotism and vested interests. On the other hand, the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) has verified through thousands of arguments derived from the Holy Qur’an, derived from Hadith and derived from the words and commentaries of earlier scholars of Islam, that he indeed was the one about whom the Qur’an has prophesised. He also gave details of the Divine Signs that have appeared in his corroboration. He explained this in light of the Divine support he received at every juncture. However, there can be no direction for those whose hearts are sealed by God and those whom God does not want to guide.

Yet, there have been pious-natured people, who have accepted the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace), who have the privilege to take his Bai’at and for whom God had decreed guidance. There are others who also understand but out of fear of the so-called mullah and by following him, stayed deprived of the spiritual shower and continue to remain deprived......Read more here
