January-February 2018 USA An informational, literary, educational, and training magazine of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, USA : The Ahmadiyya : GAZETTEJanuary-February 2018 USA "I confer upon thee a sign of My Mercy according to thy supplications. I have heard thy entreaties and have honored thy prayers with My Acceptance through My Mercy and have blessed this thy journey. A sign of power, mercy, and nearness to Me is bestowed on thee. A Sign of grace and beneficence is awarded to thee and thou art granted the key of success and victory. Peace on thee, O Victorious one…” The great prophecy of Muslih Mau’ūd A historic picture of Brother Bilal Abd-us-Salam (fourth from the left) who passed away last year (Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Raji'oon) Help Rebuild Bait-ul-Futuh Annex Hadrat Khalifatul Masīḥ V (may Allah be his Helper) has provided members the opportunity to participate in the blessing of rebuilding the Bait-ul-Futuh annex. In his 3 November 2017 Friday Sermon, he said, “I would like to make a short appeal, which is for the UK Jamā‘at in particular and for the members all over the world in general who have the capability and capacity. This appeal is for the reconstruction of the portion of Baitul-Futūh that caught fire. It has been about two years since a part of the mosque complex caught fire. Due to the establishment of Khilāfat in UK since 1984, people from all over the world come here and are accommodated. Various functions are also held here. Now, large delegations of auxiliaries and Jamā‘ats come here round the year. Their accommodation, etc., poses challenges. Previously arrangements were made in the halls and rooms adjacent to the mosque. It is becoming difficult to accommodate them after the fire. A reconstruction plan has been prepared. It is quite a large project. Space will be only a bit larger but the project is huge. At the start of this mosque project, Ḥaḍrat Khalīfatul-Masīḥ IV (may Allah shower His mercy on him) had appealed for five million pounds. Funds were spent on annex ignoring the main structure, therefore, he had to make appeal for another five million pounds. Additional work continued slowly for which local Jamā’at continued to spend from its own budget and the project was completed to a large extent. After all this, accident happened. It was destined by God that a big portion was burnt. Now that the new plan has been made, it will cost about the same amount, that is, eleven million pounds. Half of the amount is available from insurance and the contributions from the members. More than half of the amount will be required. Members will have to make sacrifices, in any case, in the same manner as they have in the past. Bait-ul-Futūh mosque was listed among the fifty all-time great buildings of Europe in terms of its grandeur and architecture as it stood. Ḥaḍrat Khalīfatul-Masīḥ IV (may Allah showers His mercy on him) announced and expressed at the time of its planning that he hoped that the mosque shall be Europe’s largest mosque and there shall be no mosque larger than this mosque. He said that our needs would be met if seven to eight thousand people could be accommodated in the mosque. But the capacity of the mosque including halls could accommodate ten thousand people. (Reference Al-Fazl International, 7-13 April 1995, pp. 5-6, 23-29 March 2001, p. 6) But the capacity was strained in just two to three years. The administration had to announce that people from other chapters should not come here to offer Eid Prayer and offer it in their localities. Yet, as the members know, we had to erect an additional marquees in the park for Eid arrangements. In any case, there is need. We should try to make it as much bigger and better as we can. Those who did not have the opportunity to participate in its building should avail this opportunity to contribute. As it is the project of UK Jamā’at, therefore, generally it is the responsibility of UK Ahmadis. It is their project and they should participate in it. The capable members world over should participate. Auxiliaries as auxiliaries, chapters as chapters, and large chapters should also take part in the project as guests come here throughout the year and Jamā’at UK takes care of the guests every month. The number of guests has now increased to thousands. The Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) once said, “In the era of [Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb] Alamgir, the Royal Mosque caught fire. People ran to the king and informed him that the mosque has caught fire. On hearing this news, the king fell in prostration before God and offered his thanks. His couturiers asked in amazement, “Your honor, what does make this instance a time for gratitude while the house of God is burning and Muslims are deeply grieved?” The king replied, “I have been thinking for a long time that a great and elegant mosque has been built, thousands of people reap benefit from this building. I wish there was a way for me to participate in this good deed. However, I found it to be complete, perfect, and without any defect in every aspect. I did not find anyway to contribute. Today, Almighty God created a way for me to attain His reward. Allāh is All-Hearing, All-Knowing (2[Al-Baqarah]: 245).” (Malfūzāt, Vol. I, p. 387, 1985 Edition Printed in England) As I said, those who could not take part in the sacrifice previously should donate to the project. The amounts you pledge, try to fulfill them in a period of three years. Pay at least one-third of the pledge in the very first year. The particulars of this project are as follows. The previous covered area was 4,700 m2 and, according to the new plan, it shall be 5,800 m2. The height of the Nasir Hall’s ceiling has been raised. Apart from that, the first floor shall be Noor Hall; the height of its ceiling has also been raised. The second floor will house offices. There shall be offices, exhibition hall, and residences for guests on third and fourth floors. The building will be a little away from the gate to gain some space for parking and to facilitate movement of vehicles and pedestrians, and to separate pathways for ladies and gents. This is the plan. May the Almighty Allah bless Jamā’at UK to accomplish the project.” All members of the Jamā’at are requested to whole-heartedly take part in this financial appeal of our beloved Imam so that we become recipient of the blessings of God Almighty.

Gurdaspur (Punjab) Our Teaching (English Translation of a portion of the urdu Book KISHTI-E-NUH) Written by : Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Promised Messiah & Mehdi Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat First Published in 1988 Previous Edition 2010 Present Edition 2016 Copies 2000 Published by : Nazarat Nashr-o-Ishaat Sadr Anjuman Ahmadiyya Qadian - 143516 Distt. Gurdaspur (Pb.) INDIA Printed at : Fazl-e-Umar Printing Press, Qadian ISBN : 978-81-7912-257-0 FOREWORD This is a time when the darkness of materialism has overspread the entire face of the earth and obscured people’s vision. Many there are who profess faith but are deprived of its true sweetness and strength. They are unaware of the One Living, Omnipresent God. For the benefit of seekers after truth, therefore, I present an abridged version of the teaching of the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement as laid down in his book Kashti-Nuh (lit. Noah’s Ark) which he wrote to save men from the current deluge of irreligion and materialism. This book was intended mainly for the members of the Ahmadiyya Community but Muslims in general have also been addressed in it. The book is a torch of guidance through which every Muslim, nay every man with a craving for truth and spirituality, can rekindle his inner lamp and illuminate his heart. The present abridgement is an English rendering of the Founder’s own sacred words and, therefore, is replete with all the blessings that descend from heaven on the heart of a holy person.

    STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS HANDBOOK OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES 1987 FIRST REVISION 1995 SECOND REVISION 2004 THIRD REVISION 2011 FOURTH REVISION 2012 FIFTH REVISION 2013 HANDBOOK OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES INTRODUCTION The Department of Corrections acknowledges the inherent and constitutionally protected rights of incarcerated offenders to believe, express and exercise the religion of their choice. It is our intention that religious programs will promote positive values and moral practices to foster healthy relationships, especially within the families of those under our jurisdiction and within the communities to which they are returning. As a Department, we commit to providing religious as well as cultural opportunities for offenders within available resources, while maintaining facility security, safety, health and orderly operations. The Department will not endorse any religious faith or cultural group, but we will ensure that religious programming is consistent with the provisions of federal and state statutes, and will work hard with the Religious, Cultural and Faith Communities to ensure that the needs of the incarcerated community are fairly met. This desk manual has been prepared for use by chaplains, administrators and other staff of the Washington State Department of Corrections. It is not meant to be an exhaustive study of all religions. It does provide a brief background of most religions having participants housed in Washington prisons. This manual is intended to provide general guidelines, and define practice and procedure for Washington State Department of Corrections institutions. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Department policy. While it does not confer theological expertise, it will, provide correctional workers with the information necessary to respond too many of the religious concerns commonly encountered.
