Special Edition: AAIIL(UK) Convention 2009 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. .......... The HOPE Bulletin .......... [SPECIAL CENTENARY CONVENTION AT UK EDITION] 18 August, 2009 Editor: Akbar Abdullah CALIFORNIA JAMA‘AT PROJECT: APPROVED BY THE CENTRAL ANJUMAN, LAHORE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Akbar Abdullah, Editor Alhamdollillah! We are indeed thankful to Brothers Nasir Ahmad and Azhar-ud-Din Ahmad who promptly provided us, for the final supplement on the UK Centenary Convention of 2009, letters of appreciation and messages received from foreign delegates, local members and officials who attended this auspicious Convention. Jazak Allah! The excellent photographs accompanying this issue are courtesy Dr. HSM Boedhoe of Rotterdam, Netherlands. On the third day, Dr. Boedhoe is seen wearing a red robe. We are grateful to Hazrat Ameer-i-Qaum Professor Dr. Abdul Karim Saeed Pasha Sahib, whose presence at the Convention generated an aura of spiritual fragrance, reminiscent of the bond and affection of his strong spiritual leadership and the followers of this noble worldwide Jama‘at . Jazak Allah! The foreign delegates hailed from several countries including Australia, Canada, Fiji, Germany, Holland, Pakistan, Suriname and the United States of America. We appreciate Br. A. S Santoe Sahib’s keen effort in bringing with him the largest contingent of delegates from Holland. Jazak Allah. Br. Santoe Sahib expressed great satisfaction about the organizers of the UK Convention. It gives us great pleasure to also appreciate the presence of Br. Mehboob Raza Sahib of Fiji and Br. Sadr-ud- Din Sahu Khan from Australia, both of whom travelled more than half way around the world to participate in this spiritual event. Their participation energized organizers of the Convention. Jazak Allah . May Allah bless them. We equally hail the presence of delegates from other countries. Ameen. Of the several medical doctors available, two – Dr. Mujahid Ahmad Saeed and Dr. Jawad Ahmad – were assigned to look after the medical needs of the foreign delegates. Alhamdollillah! With the grace of Allah, no delegate needed any medical assistance. Allah, with His bountiful mercy and graceful blessings kept all the foreign participants in good health and spirit. We are grateful to our dear Sis. Jameela Khan, President of AAIIL UK, Mrs. Fareida Ibrahim, Events Manager, and the host of young organizers whose names we have acknowledged earlier, for their professional handling of programmes which made the deliberations of this Convention a great success. May Allah bless them and reward them for their sacrifices and dedication. Ameen . Sis. Bano Anwar Sahiba, who is in charge of the London Mission and who was seen working tirelessly with the ladies of the UK Jama‘at to ensure that everyone was properly fed and that the needs of the guests staying at the Mission House were promptly met during the days of the Convention and even afterwards, deserves praise. May Allah ( swt ) bless her and reward her for her khidmat and personal sacrifice for the cause of our Jama‘at . Ameen . We highly appreciate Br. Azhar-ud-Din Ahmad of Woking, son of our worthy elder Mian Fakhar-ud-Din Ahmad Sahib of Rawalpindi, Pakistan, who played a pivotal role in the arrangements of the second day’s arrangements and programme at Woking. Moreover, the visiting delegates and the local members were hosted by him to lunch and dinner. May Allah bless him and his family for their kind hospitality. Last, but not the least, my wife Parveen and I would like to thank Hazrat Ameer, the UK Jama‘at , Sis. Jameela Khan, and the ladies of the UK Jama‘at for their cordiality and the warm welcome given to us. [My wife was given an equally warm welcome earlier on her visit to the AAIIL Fiji Jama‘at at Masjid Noor, Suva.] We are also grateful to Br. Shahid Aziz and Sis. Riffat Aziz for their kind hospitality. May Allah (swt ) bless them all. Ameen . MESSAGES AND APPRECIATION Jameela Khan, President, AAIIL (UK) This, my final message concerning our convention, is addressed: (1) particularly to those delegates who attended, (2) to those who tuned in during the programmes, (3) to those who showed interest, and took the trouble to let us know their reactions. Let me begin by thanking Mr Akbar Abdullah, Editor of The HOPE , for allowing us to use this medium to send out invitations to all the Jama‘ats , to inform delegates about what was required of them, printing the three-day programmes, and later, to receive and publish letters and comments. Hazrat Ameer proved to be the great inspiration for us by making himself available, giving advice and taking a leading role each day. Mr Amir Aziz, the General Secretary of the Central Anjuman, Lahore, also shared his expertise and knowledge with dexterity. The U.K. Jama‘at were very fortunate to have the vast experience of our Events Manager, Mrs Fareida Ibrahim, without whom the day to day organisation and running of the Convention would have been impossible. “Delegates from Fiji and Australia in the east to California and Vancouver in the west, and all the countries in between, mainly Pakistan, Holland, Germany, Canada and the West Indies”: You are the ones who responded to the call to commemorate the 100 th death anniversary of the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement in the UK and made your way to London, so that this Jama‘at can forge new links and strengthen ties to further the cause of Islam. We thank you sincerely for your letters of appreciation on your return home. From our records, 15000 people listened in, some in the early hours of the morning or very late at night. This is an encouraging indicator concerning the extent to which technology was used to fulfil our ambition to propagate our views globally. We were pleased to receive telephonic messages from you live during the webcasts. 2 The U.K. Jama‘at is grateful, and I mean this very sincerely, to all of you, in your various capacities, who contributed towards the resounding success of the Convention from 10 th to 12 th July 2009 in London. May Allah continue to bless you and your families, and keep the light of this Movement burning brightly, because the true picture of Islam presented by the Movement is what is needed in the world today, when extremist attitudes among a small section of Muslims have tainted the fair name of Islam as a Message of Peace within and Peace to all Mankind. Nasir Ahmad, UK Angels worked at the Convention When I attended the last three meetings of the organising committee of the UK Jama‘at for the Convention and listened to the details, such as registration of guests; security arrangements; parking at the Mission House; having a canopy in the backyard of the Mission House with tables and chairs for food; receiving of guests at Heathrow, Stansted, Luton and Gatwick airports; taking the guests to Travel Lodge Central and Travel Lodge Hasten; shifting of stuff from the Mission House, London to Church Hall, Cornerstone Centre, Woking; holding of the interfaith meeting at Hilton Cobham Hotel, Woking; arrangements for the Sunday meeting; bookstall and garments stall at Clay Oven Banqueting Suit; and finally departures partly on Sunday evening and then on the following days, I was very concerned about how a handful of people would be able to manage all that. But Mrs. J. Khan took the first important step by appointing Sis. Fareida Ibrahim as the Events Manager. When I saw her handing over a series of planning sheets to all concerned, and the way she conducted meetings and actively participated in the day-to-day working, it was a great relief for all involved in the organisation of the Convention. The ship of the Convention started a smooth sailing with Mrs. Khan as the Anchor, Sis. Fareida Ibrahim as its Captain, and Sis. Bano Anwar as Second-in-Command. Various responsibilities were shared, as follows: Video and transmission : Mr. Mudassar Aziz, Dr. Mujahid Saeed, Dr. Obaidullah Saeed and Mr. Haider Zafar. Preparation and printing of invitations, programme and other material : Dr. Zahid Aziz, Sis Fareida Ibrahim and Mrs. Riffat Aziz. Conveyance and reception : Mr. Azhar-ud-Din Ahmad, Dr. Jawad Ahmad, Mr. Hamad Ahmad, Mr. Tahir Waseem, Mr. Khayyam Zafar, Mr. Arjumand Sadiq and Miss Habiba Anwar. Even at times Sis Fareida shuttled between hotels and the Mission House. Catering and food distribution : Mrs. Bano Anwar, Mrs. Riffat Aziz, Mrs. Fauqia Aziz, Mr. and Mrs. Mushtaq Ali, Mrs. Musarrat Saqib and Mrs. Zuraida Hamzad. Bookstall : Mr. Anis Ahmad. Garments stall : Mrs. Erum Ahmad and Mrs. Tehmina Aziz. Security : Mr. Adam Saqib, his friends and his brothers. Time keeper : Mr. Faizaan Ahmad. 3 Volunteers: Mr. Abdul Rahman Sadiq (Canada), Miss Rabia Sadiq and Huma Sadiq (Pakistan), Miss Nausheen Sadiq (Canada), Mr. Afzal Sadiq (Pakistan), Miss Tasneem Sadiq, Mr. Taimur Sadiq, Mr. Basharat Saeed, Mr. Mathar Saeed and Mr. Inshaal Ahmad (UK). The messages and letters of appreciation being reproduced in this edition of the Bulletin would bear me out that the organisation and arrangements were meticulous and perfect. Evidently prayers worked and inspired workers with zeal and devotion more than anything else. May Allah bless them all. Arshad and Bushra Alvi, Darus Salaam Colony, Lahore, Pakistan Dearest Participants of the U.K. Convention, Assalamo alaikum. Accept our best wishes on holding the Centenary Convention to commemorate the 100th death anniversary of the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement. In the past hundred years many new facts of history and archaeological evidence have come to the surface to vindicate the truth of the stand of the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement regarding the Holy Prophet Jesus that he did not die on the Cross.

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.

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.

    TAUSIAH Bersetialah pada Tuhan! Oleh: Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad ungguh Allah Maha Perkasa dan Maha Kuat. 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. Dia ada dengan sendirinya dan abadi. Segala sesuatu pasti menerima anugerah-Nya. 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. Ketika mereka membuat rencana makruh dan memalukan itu, mereka tiada ingat akan wujud Yang Maha Agung dan Maha Kuasa, yang tanpa kehendak-Nya, tiada sehelai FATHI ISLAM - Edisi 002 | Januari - Februari 2014 | hlm.

  • In the Memory of the Late Begum Razia Madad
    In memory of the late Begum Razia Madad Ali “Say: My prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are surely for Allah, the Lord of the worlds” (6:162). Remembrance For presentation to the children of the late Begum Razia Madad Ali Prepared by: The HOPE Bulletin Team Chicago, Illinois, USA 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS On behalf of The HOPE Bulletin Team, I render my sincere gratitude to the many brothers and sisters of the worldwide Jama‘ats who provided their valuable information for the preparation of this booklet. I am particularly grateful to: Br. Riaz Ahmadali for designing the cover, adding the Arabic lettering and photo-sizing; Sister Mary and Br. Khaliel Ghafoerkhan for providing memorable photographs of Marhooma; Dr. Zahid Aziz for writing an inspirational article and submitting some very thoughtful material on the family history as given in the Preface; Dr. Mujahid Ahmad Saeed for providing family photographs, drawing the family tree, adding Arabic script and converting the material into a print-ready format. Finally I have decided to dedicate this booklet to Hazrat Ameer, Dr. Abdul Karim Saeed Pasha Sahib, my mentor, who taught me to strengthen my faith, and who continues to inspire me in my work. Akbar Abdullah 3 PREFACE Begum Razia Madad Ali Marhooma's father was Dr. Mirza Yaqub Baig (1872-1936), who joined the Jama‘at in its early days in February 1892. His father was Mirza Niyaz Baig (d. 1918) of Kalanur (District Gurdaspur, now in India). Their ancestry can be traced to the time of the great Moghul emperor Akbar who was in Kalanur when he ascended to the throne in 1556.

    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.
