HUZOOR's TOUR of GERMANY MAY – JUNE 2015 a Personal HUZOOR’S TOUR OF GERMANY MAY – JUNE 2015 A Personal Account PART 1 By Abid Khan 1 Introduction On 23 May 2015, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (aba) and his Qafila (entourage) set off for an 18­day tour to Germany, where Huzoor would grace the Jalsa Salana with his presence. On this occasion the Qafila was a little larger than on the previous tours I had been a part of. Apart from Huzoor and Khala Saboohi (Huzoor’s respected wife), there were 14 members of the Qafila who travelled from London on that day. There were seven security staff, Muhammad Ahmad Sahib (Ahmad bhai), Nasir Saeed Sahib, Sakawat Bajwa Sahib, Mohsin Awam Sahib, Sardar Humayun Sahib, Khawaja Qudoos Sahib and Nazir Baloch Sahib. The office staff comprised Munir Ahmad Javed Sahib (Private Secretary), Abdul Majid Tahir Sahib (Additional Wakil­ul­Tabshir), Mubarak Ahmad Zafar Sahib (Additional Wakil­ul­Maal), Bashir Ahmed Sahib (PS Office) and me travelling on behalf of the central Press & Media Office. Nadeem Amini and Nasir Amini, two cousins from Bradford, were also part of the Qafila as the designated drivers for two of the cars. A few days prior to Huzoor’s arrival, Mahmood Ahmad Khan Sahib (security staff) had been sent in advance to Germany and he had been accompanied by a young Waqf­e­Zindighi serving in Private Secretary Sahib’s Office, Athar Baig. 2 Packing advice A couple of days before the tour, I was fortunate to have Mulaqat in Huzoor’s office. Whilst, I was seated, Huzoor was going through his office mail when he came across a document in which the weather forecast for the duration of Huzoor’s forthcoming tour of Germany had been printed. Huzoor looked up at me and said that, according to the forecast, the weather would be hot in in Germany, especially during the Jalsa days. I asked Huzoor if I should not pack a sweater then. The reason I asked this was because the suitcase I was taking was quite small and I was trying to save space. However, Huzoor responded by saying: “No matter the forecast, it is a sign of wisdom and intelligence to pack at least one sweater so you are fully prepared.” I did pack a sweater and by the second day of the tour was wearing it in Germany! Although the weather forecast for the days of Jalsa was correct, the first week of the tour was much cooler and so I was glad to be prepared! Blessings of Huzoor’s love and prayers Huzoor’s departure was on Saturday morning. Just two nights before, on Thursday evening, my 2­year­old son Mahid developed a very high fever 3 and so we took him to the hospital. I was anxious that he would recover before we left. Despite being so busy, when Huzoor was informed of his fever on Thursday night, he immediately prescribed some homeopathic medicines and prayed for Mahid’s recovery. Then, on Friday, Huzoor asked me how he was and prescribed some further medicines. Whilst, I had initially been quite worried, as soon as I knew we had Huzoor’s prayers and we had given the medicines Huzoor had prescribed, I immediately felt relieved and reassured. And with the Grace of Allah, by Friday evening Mahid seemed completely fine and recovered. Departure from Masjid Fazl Many Ahmadis had come to see Huzoor off from Masjid Fazl. As always, it was quite apparent that the locals left behind were very sad to see Huzoor leave. Huzoor and Khala Saboohi came out of their residence at 10am and after a silent prayer the Qafila departed from the Mosque. Last year, when Huzoor travelled to Germany and Ireland, I had been seated in a car driven by Nadeem Amini Sahib. However, this time, I was allocated a seat in the car directly behind Huzoor’s vehicle. I was seated next to Private Secretary, Munir Javed Sahib, whilst Sardar Humayun Sahib was in the front, alongside Khwaja Qudoos Sahib who was driving. 4 The Qafila was due to cross the Channel into France on the Eurotunnel on the 12.20pm train but due to heavy traffic at the terminal, we missed that train and departed on the subsequent one, which left at 12.50pm. Travel in the Eurotunnel The Eurotunnel is a very efficient means of crossing into France as it takes only 35minutes to reach Calais. On the tours, I have been on, the routine has been that Huzoor and Khala Saboohi have remained in their car during the journey. Most of the other Qafila members step out of their cars and spend the time chatting amongst ourselves. The same routine occurred also on that day. Nasir Amini had brought some delicious dry fruit and so it was first served to Huzoor and Khala Saboohi and then Huzoor kindly sent it back out for the Qafila members to enjoy. A memorable visit to a petrol station Upon crossing into France, Huzoor was received by Ameer Sahib Germany and other officials of the Germany Jamaat at a nearby petrol station. After meeting the members of the Jamaat, Huzoor entered the shop at the petrol station and called me towards him. Huzoor looked extremely graceful, wearing his Achkan coat over his shalwar kameez and instead of his paghri (turban), Huzoor was wearing a round Afghani topi on his head. 5 Huzoor noticed me standing on the side and so called me over. Huzoor’s humour is always very wonderful and so smiled and said that he had not seen me earlier and so thought perhaps I had decided not to come! Very affectionately, Huzoor then told me to come and look inside the petrol station with him. In the petrol station, Huzoor looked at the various products and in particular he noticed some roadmaps that were on sale. Upon seeing them, Huzoor asked whether there were still people who used such traditional roadmaps? Huzoor said it seems that now everyone uses satellite navigation. I was not sure myself, but said that perhaps there were a few people who still preferred the old methods. Huzoor also asked me how Mahid was and if he had been taking the medicines he had prescribed. At such moments, a person’s love for Khalifa­Waqt can only increase. Huzoor’s extremely important and busy tour had only just begun and yet he still enquired about my son’s health. Huzoor asked which car I was seated in and so I mentioned that I was seated next to Munir Javed Sahib. Huzoor asked if I was comfortable and then with a smile asked whether Khawaja Qudoos Sahib was a good driver. I responded “Yes” to both questions. It was a very informal, yet extremely memorable, few minutes in the petrol station. Alhamdolillah. 6 Lunch in Calais From the petrol station, we drove a short distance to the Courtepaille restaurant in Calais, where the previous year we had also stopped for lunch. Being at the restaurant brought back a lot of memories. Most of us ate the same lunch of grilled salmon with a jacket potato that we had been served the previous year. Though, most of us had salmon, a few people ordered steak, including Ameer Sahib Germany. Afterwards he told me that he sent his steak back twice because the first time it was burnt and the second time it was raw! Thankfully it proved third time lucky! Travel to Aachen and arrival at Mansoor Mosque Rather, than travelling straight to Frankfurt, the programme was arranged that Huzoor would first travel to the city of Aachen to inaugurate the Mansoor Mosque in the evening. Thus from Calais we drove directly to Aachen. Before, arriving at the Mosque, Huzoor and Khala Saboohi briefly visited the home of an Ahmadi, Sadiq Doggar Sahib who lived in Aachen. Thereafter, the Qafila proceeded directly to the Mansoor Mosque where the local members of the Jamaat welcomed Huzoor. 7 As they sang poems and raised naaray it was clear how excited and happy they were that Huzoor had graced the occasion with his presence. Inauguration Reception at Mansoor Mosque After Huzoor led the Zuhr and Asr prayers, he proceeded to a marquee erected on the complex for the formal reception. There were more than 200 non­Ahmadi guests in attendance, including a number of dignitaries. Initially, Ameer Sahib gave a welcome address and he was followed by a number of guest speakers, including the Lord Mayor, who took to the stage to congratulate the Jamaat. Whilst they spoke in German, we listened with an earpiece to the Urdu translation. Huzoor also listened to the translation and I noticed that as the guests spoke, Huzoor was making notes on a piece of paper. 8 It transpired that Huzoor was preparing the notes for his own address whilst the other speakers were on stage. In his address, delivered in Urdu, Huzoor mentioned some of the good points made by the guests and expanded upon them from an Islamic perspective. For example, the Mayor had spoken of the need for people to ‘live together’ and so during his address, Huzoor acknowledged this point and expanded upon it. Huzoor said that a person could only fulfil the objectives of religion if they “respected human values” and so it was the duty of the local Ahmadis to care for and protect their neighbours. The guest speakers had also referred to a local Ahmadi Muslim florist who worked in the city centre. He had become well known in the local 9 community for gifting flowers to locals in an effort to eradicate the reservations or fears of the local people towards Islam.

    In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful .......... The HOPE Bulletin ……….. HU ealth,U UOngoingU PU rojects,U EU ducationU (Vol. 3:3-4) Sept-October 2008 AAIIL Worldwide Edition Editor: Akbar Abdullah CALIFORNIA JAMA‘AT PROJECT: APPROVED BY THE CENTRAL ANJUMAN, LAHORE INTRODUCTIONU In this edition of The HOPE Bulletin, the segment ALL ABOUT US, which carries a bio-sketch of our venerable stalwart, the late Dr. Basharat Ahmad (1876-1943), covers a large part of this magazine. We have, therefore, decided to curtail considerable material from other sections of the Bulletin to accommodate the entire article in one issue. This year, Ramadan was marked by the passing away of two brothers, Jabir Muhammad and Imam Warith Deen Mohammad, illustrious sons of the late Honourable Elijah Muhammad. Brother Jabir Muhammad was the manager of the famous World Champion Boxer Muhammad Ali, and Imam Warith Deen Mohammad was the National Leader of the larger of the two groups of the Afro-American Muslim Community. Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilehi Rajeoon. During Hazrat Ameer’s visit to Chicago in 2004, Br Jabir Muhammad had invited us to a sumptuous fish luncheon at a posh Mid-East/Mediterranean restaurant in Chicago. A day before that, Hazrat Ameer had had a fruitful discussion with the late Imam Warith Deen Muhammad, who had also invited us to lunch at the conclusion of the meeting. A day later, Hazrat Ameer participated in an historic dialogue, discussing matters of mutual interest with the Honourable Minister Louis Farrakhan, National Leader of the splinter group of the Afro-American Muslim Community, which was held at the latter's mansion, a fortress-like residence that was originally built for the late Honourable Elijah Muhammad.

  • The Indian Title Badge: 1911-1947 Jim Carlisle, OMSA No
    The Journal of the Orders and Medals SocieW of America The Indian Title Badge: 1911-1947 Jim Carlisle, OMSA No. 5577 ing George V, on the occasion of the Delhi Durbar, Kintroduced the India Title Badge on 12 December 1911 to be conferred, as a symbol of honor and respect, on the holders of a title conferred by the King-Emperor. The Badge was a step-award in three classes given to civilians and Viceroy’s commissioned officers of the Indian Army for faithful service or acts of public welfare. Awards of the Badge began in January 1912. In many ways, the Badge is a cross between the Imperial Service Medal and the Kaisar-I-Hind. As with the Imperial Service Medal (ISM), it was awarded for long and faithful service to members of the civil and provincial services. Unlike the ISM it was also awarded to members of the military as well as to civilians not in the civil service. It was similar to the Kaisar-I-Hind in that there were three classes to the award as well as being awarded for service in India. Unlike the Kaisar-I- Hind, its award was restricted to non-Europeans. Unlike either of these awards, the India Title Badge also provided a specific title in the form of a personal distinction to the recipient. Specifics regarding the titles will be provided below. It is interesting to note that a title granted with the 1st India Title Badge, Class III- obverse Class of the Badge is identical to that granted to recipients of the Order of British India 1 st Class, Sardar Bahadur.

  • Administration of Dir Under Nawab Shah Jehan
    Pakistan Vol. 49, 2013 Annual Research Journal ADMINISTRATION OF DIR UNDER NAWAB SHAH JEHAN Gohar Ali Shah Abstract Dir the land of lofty mountains, snow peaks, lush green valley, transparent streams and industrious people, remained shrouded for a long time in obscurity, unknown to the outside world. It is very difficult to say that how and when Dir became the residential area but it must be said that due to the beauty, plenty and security, this area will have become the residential area from long age. Dir was invaded by Alexander, than came under the Budhist, the Mughal and important event was the settlement of the Yousafzai tribe in the area by defeating Swatis and Dilazaks in sixteenth century. The followers of Mullah Ilyas ruled for more than three centuries, and then a period of politicization and democratization started. Muhammad Shah Jehan ascended the throne after the death of his father Nawab Aurangzeb khan in November, 1924 and declared himself as the new Nawab of Dir and ruled till 1960. He was a tyrant ruler and ruled with an iron hand. He introduced some administrative reforms in army, judiciary, executive, and in legislation in his principality. His rule was not different than a dictator’s. He snatched the power from his father and imposed his own constitution to show his mighty power. This paper is an attempt to discuss the administrative setup of Nawab Shah Jehan in detail. The data has been collected from books and personal interviews. Keywords Dir, Nawab Shah Jehan, Administration, Jirgah, Shariah, Dastural Amal. Nawab Muhammad Shah Jehan After the death of Nawab Aurangzeb his son Shah Jehan succeeded his father as the Nawab of Dir and ruled from November 1925 to 8th October 1960.

TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE l THJt Emperor Akbar (reign 1556-1605 A.D.) set the example of having a detailed history of his reign written by official command. The result was the A~~1!'!g;h or 'Book of Akbar' of. ~uly-)y:l (completed by other hands after that author's death). Then came the Emperor Jahangir" who dictated his own memoirs, known as the Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri, and therefore no official Jahiingir-niimah had to be written about him. This book, however, combines the literary characteristics of an autobiography with those of an official history, or in other words, it gives the Emperor's own reflections and feelings as well as an objective record of the events of his reign. Indeed, in this reign, the literary type of the Mughal official histories was determined for the future, as was exemplified by the Piidishiihniimah (Shah Jahan), the (Alamgir-1Ui.mah (of Aurangzib, completed by the Maasir-i-Alamgiri), the Bahadur Shah-niimah (Shah Alam I) and later attempts like the Tiirikh-i-Ahmad Shahi and the Tiirikh-i-(Alamgir $iini.
