The HOPE Bulletin: November 2006 Bulletin — In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful .......... The HOPE Bulletin ……….. Health, Ongoing Projects, Education November 2006 AAIIL Worldwide Edition Editor: Akbar Abdullah A CALIFORNIA JAMA‘AT PROJECT: APPROVED BY THE CENTRAL ANJUMAN, LAHORE Introduction Salana Duaiyya at Central Anjuman, Lahore This message is specially intended for those brothers and sisters who have yet to make that unique journey to attend the annual Jalsa of the Centre convened at the end of December each year. Perhaps this Editor’s experience of last year will give you all the courage and determination to take that important step towards making this journey. After Hazrat Ameer Dr. Abdul Karim Saeed Pasha Sahib’s visit to the United States early last year, and upon his personal invitation, I decided to participate in the Salana Duaiyya 2005 despite some serious personal health concerns. As time progressed my health improved to a great extent giving me a promise of a successful trip without any foreseeable complications. A fortnight before the scheduled travel date I experienced a relapse in my health condition and, when under other circumstances I would have cancelled my travel plans, this time there was something within me saying don’t do it, so I proceeded with my packing and re-confirming my airline ticket. Three days before departure I could not walk from one building to another due to shortness of breath. Still, I was determined to go to Lahore so I did not consider this condition a setback. On the day of departure it seemed that a miracle had happened and angels were on my side. When I was dropped off at the airport, I was able to drag my two suitcases and race through the terminal without any weakness or shortness of breath. The nineteen-hour journey by PIA from Chicago to Lahore, with a rest stop in Manchester, England was quite comfortable. During the flight, to avoid any leg swelling, I was able to take several walks and to stand up for at least thirty-minute intervals at the rear part of the plane. On arrival at the Lahore airport, several Jama‘at members, including the General Secretary, Professor Aziz Ahmad Sahib, Dr. Abdul Waheed Sahib, Editor, Paigham-e-Sulh, and his sons, Mudassar Aziz, PA www.aaiil.org to Hazrat Ameer, and some others whose names I do not recall, had come to receive me and assist me to clear Customs and Immigration. I was swiftly driven to Darus Salam and housed in a very comfortable guesthouse of the Central Anjuman, where I had the pleasure of staying with Brothers A.S. Abdul Santoe of Holland, Mehboob Raza of Fiji and Shaukat A. Ali of Thailand. My first prayer in the Central Mosque was during Fajr of the next morning. Tears came in my eyes as I sensed spiritual vibes emanating from the carpet where many of our saintly buzurgs and present-day namajis performed their countless prayers. Visiting the Central Mosque for the daily and Jumu‘ah prayers not only made me spiritually elevated but also kept me physically strong. After each prayer I was able to hug Hazrat Ameer and other maqami and international brothers who would come for prayers. I termed this experience a “spiritual transference.” One of the greatest and most memorable moments of my life was when I visited the Darus Salam graveyard where some of our very saintly brothers and sisters are buried. I spent nearly two hours there, alone, praying in front of every grave located in rows. This is another place where I sensed a great deal of spiritual aura. On some graves I could not control my tears. I took great pleasure in listening to Hazrat Ameer’s khutbas, dars-ul-Qur’an and prayers, from which flowed spiritual energy to my heart. May Allah (swt) bless him and grant him wisdom, stamina and long life to serve the Jama‘at for many years to come. (Ameen.) During the Jalsa, the speeches and nazams delivered by Hazrat Ameer, the Jama‘at’s elders, scholars, women and children were quite inspiring and helped to reinforce my faith in Ahmadiyyat. As one of the nearly 40 overseas delegates, I was requested to deliver my lecture in prime time and also to serve as a co-president during one of the morning sessions. Furthermore, an international representative I was permitted to participate in the deliberation of the International Consultative Committee, presided by Hazrat Ameer. Last year’s meeting dealt with discussion and formulation of guidelines for conducting Jama‘at affairs within the worldwide AAIIL Jama‘ats. The experience of participating in the International Consultative Committee and attending the Annual Jalsa energized me to work harder for the Jama‘at. After the Salana Duaiyya I was a houseguest of Brothers Javed Sadiq, Nagib Sadiq and Tahir Sadiq of Islamabad who are brothers of our dear sister, Bano Anwar of the United Kingdom. I was thrilled with their kind hospitality and was amazed to witness such a close bond amongst all the brothers. On New Year’s Day I accompanied Br. Tahir Sadiq to his village, Cher, high in the mountains, a few miles from Balakot, one of the cities in Pakistan that was totally devastated in last year’s earthquake. Unfortunately, my arterial fibrillation became active due to the height and I was forced to return to Abbotabad, where I was hospitalised and treated for two days in the hospital where Hazrat Ameer was formerly a Professor and a Director. During this time, Hazrat Ameer not only telephoned the hospital personnel to ensure that I was well-treated but, along with the Jama‘at at Lahore, conducted intense prayers for my shifa. Alhamdollillah! Allah heard his prayers and after a few days stay at Br. Tahir Sadiq’s residence and with a former colleague, Butt Sahib in Rawalpindi, I returned to Lahore for Eid-ul-Adha. A week or so before my return to the United States my CHF condition had somewhat deteriorated. If I had stayed another day beyond my scheduled return date I would have definitely been hospitalized to treat this condition. Instead I relied on the prayers of Hazrat Ameer, the Jama‘at and, with faith in Allah, took the bold step to leave Darus Salaam in the wee hours of the morning on my return journey home. What are the odds that the passenger next to me on the plane would be a physician who advised me how to manage my CHF condition throughout the nearly twenty-hour long flight? It was then that I realized that the prayers of Hazrat Ameer and the Jama‘at were working. May Allah bless them all. (Ameen.) 2 I am relating this personal experience to give you confidence that nothing should deter you from making this journey. If there is a will, Allah will find a way for you to attend the Salana Duaiyya and for you to return safely to your home. When you make up your mind to attend, Allah, with the prayers of Hazrat Ameer and the Jama‘at, will ease your journey, Insha Allah. Moreover, this personal experience made me a staunch believer that prayers for shifa works, thus I give great importance to our “Prayer Circle.” There are a lot of things I can write about, such as the most cordial hospitality of Hazrat Ameer (especially the daily fruit fest after Fajr), Mian Fazl-i-Ahmad Sahib, Brigadier Mohammad Saeed, Dr. Abdul Waheed, Dr. Mubarak Ahmad, Syed Nasir Ahmad, Professor Aziz Ahmad, Choudhry Riaz Ahmad, Khalid Sahib, Begum Azmat Choudhry, Brothers Amir Aziz, Ejaz Sayal, Anwar Ahmad and Zahoor Ahmad, Office Manager Qayyum Sahib, Abdul Rashid Sahib (hosting my birthday party, with a second birthday cake from Hazrat Ameer), and many others; the kindness, friendliness and the goodness of members of the Lahore Jama‘at towards me. But I do not want to depart from the spiritual focus that I experienced by attending the Salana Duaiyya 2005. There is still time to make your travel plans to attend the Salana Duiyya 2006. Please do not let this golden opportunity pass by. After your journey, please write to us and we will publish your impressions in The HOPE Bulletin. May Allah be with you. News from Central Anjuman Invitation to Salaanah Duaiyya 2006 (Annual Gathering for Prayers) 23rd to 27th December 2006 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. “Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, the Beneficent, the Merciful, Master of the day of Requital. Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help. Guide us on the right path, the path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favours, not those upon whom wrath is brought down, nor those who go astray” (The Holy Qur’an: 1: 1-7). Dear Members of the Jama‘at, Assalaam-o-Alaikum Wa Rakhmatullahi Wa Barakaato Hoo. This year the Salaanah Duaiyya (Annual Gathering for Prayers) of the Jama‘at will, Insha Allah, be held at Darus Salaam, Lahore, Pakistan from 23rd to 27th December, with 23rd December reserved exclusively for ladies. Meetings with overseas delegates will be held on 28th and 29th December. Hazrat Masih-i- Mauood, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib started the tradition of the Annual Gathering (originally known as the Jalsa Salaanah) in 1891. He explained the purpose of this gathering and stressed the importance of its continuance in an announcement on 30th December 1891. He said: “… All friends should try their utmost to come on this date to listen to Divine discourses and to participate in supplications. This convention will focus on disseminating truths and knowledge that are essential for the advancement of faith, conviction and wisdom.

Health, Ongoing Projects, Education (Vol. 5:10 &11) April-May 2011 AAIIL Worldwide Edition Editor: Akbar Abdullah CALIFORNIA JAMA‘AT PROJECT: APPROVED BY THE CENTRAL ANJUMAN, LAHORE INTRODUCTION Editor’s Note: Akbar Abdullah With the anti-Ahmadiyya sentiments developing in Indonesia and other parts of the world, Hazrat Ameer, Dr. Abdul Karim Saeed Pasha Sahib, set a uniform guideline commensurate with the principles and beliefs of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement. He sternly instructs the Jama‘at to not to deviate from this spiritually inspired truth. In a letter addressed to the Editor of The HOPE Bulletin, Hazrat Ameer Sahib wrote: I also want to bring to record that no member of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Anjuman believes in anything other than the following: We believe that Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Saheb is Mujaddid according to his claim; his claim being upheld, which is in the light of the ‘Hadith e Mujadid’ He is not a Prophet of Allah which he has denied all his life and he had firm belief in the finality of prophethood of Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. He was Maseeh Mahood and Mehdi Mahood in the light of what the Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had foretold and was the ‘imamokum min kum.’ We further and importantly believe that no one can be declared a non-Muslim (outside the pale of Islam) if (s)he does not believe in Hazrat Mirza Ghullam Ahmad Saheb. Any other view than the ones I have stated are not the beliefs of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishat e Islam Lahore, whose very establishment in 1914 was necessitated by faith contrary to what I have stated…” JAMA‘AT NEWS Health of Hazrat Ameer, Dr.

  • Malik Saeed Ahmad Sahib, Auliya Allah (Friend of Allah)
    Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful .......... The HOPE Bulletin ……….. Health, Ongoing Projects, Education A tribute in memory of the late Malik Saeed Ahmad Sahib, Auliya Allah (Friend of Allah) (Died in 2012 at 105 years) INTRODUCTION Akbar Ibn Abdullah, Editor It gives us immense pleasure to render tribute to the last of the Mujahids of the century that touched the hands of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib and received his blessings when, as a child, he was placed on Hazrat Sahib’s lap and he sucked Hazrat Sahib’s thumb. I had the distinct honour and pleasure of meeting the late Malik Sahib during all of my last three visits to the Central Mosque in Lahore. Prior to these visits Hazrat Ameer, Dr. Abdul Karim Saeed Pasha Sahib, arranged a phone conversation with Malik Sahib, who blessed me for the yeomen service I am doing for the worldwide Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement. Almost everyone I spoke to who knew him bore testimony that the late Malik Sahib, the last of the most senior stalwarts of the Jama‘at , with his piety and steadfast meditation had earned the favours and blessings of Almighty Allah to become one of the Auliyas (Friends) of Allah and was amongst the saintly groups, a recipient of divine dreams. It is reported that while Hazrat Ameer was deciding upon whether to stay in his prestigious teaching position in the Government Hospital in Abbotabad or accept the position of Ameership in Lahore, Malik Sahib saw a dream in which Hazrat Ameer Sahib was the Ameer of the Jama‘at.

Siapa- pun yang berserah diri kepada-Nya dengan sepe- S nuh cinta dan kesetiaan, sekali-kali dia tak akan disia-siakan. Mereka yang memiliki rencana jahat dan tujuan nista, tiada akan mampu membinasakannya. Tuhan berkata kepada mereka, ”Wahai orang-orang yang dungu! Adakah engkau hendak memusuhi Aku? Dapatkah engkau menistakan hamba yang kucintai?” Karena itu, pada hakikatnya tiada akan terjadi sesuatu di dunia ini kecuali bila telah ditakdirkan oleh Penguasa Langit terlebih dahulu. Dan tiada tangan duniawi dapat menjangkau sejauh batas yang telah ditakdirkan oleh langit. Tuhan adalah cahaya langit dan bumi. Cahaya yang tampak di tempat-tempat tinggi dan di tempat-tempat rendah, di alam ruh atau pun di alam jasad, bersifat lahir atau pun batin, adalah merupakan limpahan karuniaNya. Hal ini meng- isyaratkan kepada kenyataan bahwa karunia Allah, Rabb sarwa sekalian alam itu, meliputi segala sesuatu. Segala sesuatu di alam ini tiada yang terlewati dari rahmat-Nya. Keberadaan- nya yang hakiki adalah pelindung segala sesuatu dari tempat kegelapan yang tak berwujud, lalu menganugerahi segala sesuatu itu jubah wujud-Nya. Tiada wujud lain selain Dia.

Tanah dan langit, manusia dan hewan, batu-batuan dan pohon- pohonan, ruh dan jasmani, semuanya terwujud berkat karunia-Nya. Sungguhlah bodoh orang-orang yang merencanakan kezaliman.

    In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful .......... The HOPE Bulletin ……….. Health, Ongoing Projects, Education (Vol. 3:7) January 2009 AAIIL Worldwide Edition Editor: Akbar Abdullah CALIFORNIA JAMA‘AT PROJECT: APPROVED BY THE CENTRAL ANJUMAN, LAHORE INTRODUCTION Hazrat Ameer urges increase in readership of The HOPE Bulletin Dear Readers, peace and blessings of Allah be upon you. The year 2009 is the fourth calendar year since we embarked on the project of The HOPE Bulletin, whereas the services of “Du‘a-e-shifa” and “Obituary announcements and condolences” were in place much longer. Alhamdollillah, we are pleased that we were able to bring these timely services to you and now we seek your prayers that Allah (swt) gives us health, strength and stamina to continue this very useful mission for the Jama‘at. While we try our very best to produce an informative monthly bulletin for our readers, we are somewhat concerned that a fair number of our worldwide Jama‘at members are deprived access to our publication. We urge all our global Jama‘at secretaries to kindly heed to the following letter of Ameer-i-Qaum, Dr. Abdul Karim Saeed Pasha Sahib and provide us e-mail addresses of members who are not receiving our publications. May Allah (swt) bless you all. Aameen. Hazrat Ameer’s message Assalamu alaikum wr wb. You are doing a great job keeping people in touch; keep it up. With the success of the HOPE project you had undertaken under the blessing of the Central Anjuman, you and your team deserve congratulations and prayers for continuation of this project.
