He is the Mighty, the Forgiving” (The Qur’an, 67: 1, 2). “The world is the house of passing towards the abode of permanence.” – Hazrat Ali ( ra ) The phenomenon of death occurs every moment in this worldly life. But when it is someone who is dear and near, one of ours, then suddenly the pang, the pinch, brings in realisation of life’s transience. After the demise of the person, nothing remains of him with us except the good things he did to us and the world around him. The last sentence of the funeral prayer draws our attention to a very and pertinent aspect of what remains behind: “O Allah! Do not deprive us of his reward and do not make us fall into a trial after him.” In other words, someone’s death teaches us two lessons: the good works done in this world’s life yield good rewards for the deceased in the next life but also to those who are left behind; and, secondly, that person’s good works may also become a source of trial for those who survive him or his bad deeds might bring bad days and become a trial for others. In short, life and death are a trial for a person whether he does good deeds or bad deeds which may affect his next life as well as that of those who survive him. This special issue of The HOPE Bulletin is a humble effort to enumerate some of the good works and charitable acts the late Br Jalal-ud-Din Akbar Abdullah was able to accomplish during his days on this earth. His dedication and selfless hard work collecting information and conveying such messages of joy and sorrow to others with amazing zeal have earned commendations from members of the global Jama‘at. Today our hearts pour out in supplication for the peace and forgiveness of the departed soul – our beloved Br Jalal-ud-Din Akbar Abdullah. May Allah bless him and reward him for all that he did to bring members living in distant countries closer and to share in one another’s joys and sorrows. The photographs used are through the courtesy of Dr Zahid Aziz and Dr Mujahid Saeed of the UK, Br Ahmad Nawaz of the USA, and Br Arshad Alvi of Lahore, Pakistan. In compiling this brief life history of the late Br J. A. Abdullah, we are grateful to Brothers Masud Akhter, Ahmad Nawaz, and Zafar Abdullah of California, USA. On the 12th of the holy month of Rabi’ al-Awwal, the ‘Most Trustworthy Person’ ( al-Ameen’ ), the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( sas ), had come to this world to convey the Final Divine message to mankind. On this blessed occasion, we are reproducing extracts (pp. 406-409) from a unique biography, From MTV to Mecca , by Kristiane Backer . Presenting her overview of the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Ms Backer has rightly remarked: “His mission was to restore the original monotheistic faith of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus” (p. 406). An English translation by Siddiqa Sadiq of Montreal, Canada of a beautiful na’at composed by a well-known journalist of Pakistan, Mr Hassan Nisar, in praise of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( sas ), has also been included in this issue. We promised to publish details about Hazrat Ameer Dr A. K. Saeed’s visit to Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname and the UK. We regret we could only collect details about his visit to Trinidad and Guyana, which are being published in this issue. In this regard, we thank Brothers Ashraf Ali, Enayat Mohammed and Yamin Ali-Baksh, and Sisters Nafiesa Ali, Zarina Mohammed and Narda Ali-Joshi of Trinidad, and Br Mansoor Baksh of Guyana for their input. God willing, we will try to cover the remaining tour in the next issue. 2 We have also received an audio recording of an interview with Hazrat Ameer on Heritage Radio in Trinidad. We are trying to get it transcribed. The UK branch of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement is celebrating the centenary of the arrival of Khwaja Kamal- ud-Din in England, and the founding of the Woking Muslim Mission which was based at the Shah Jehan Mosque, Woking, and which gradually became a pioneer in the spread of Islam in Europe. It will be from 3 to 5 May, 2013. A special session of this celebration will be held at Woking on 4th May, 2013. Research scholars on the spread of Islam in Europe will deliver talks. A detailed invitation will be reproduced in the next issue. Friday and Sunday sessions will be held at the UK Mission House at Wembley. The Friday sermon will be delivered by Hazrat Ameer, Dr. A. K. Saeed, present Head of the Lahorde Ahmadiyya Movement. In this issue we are also publishing activities of the Indonesia Jama‘at. The report with photographs contains details of the Annual Gathering sessions held at various cities of Indonesia in December 2012. We will be able to provide our readers with such reports from Indonesia regularly in future through the efforts of our dedicated young men, Brothers Erwan Hamdani and Cecep Fuad. Br Cecep Fuad is the son of our late brother Suyud Ahmad Syurayudha. In the next issue we will give a brief life profile with photos of Br Syurayudha. We have also received a link of the videos on the sessions of the Annual Gathering held in various cities of Indonesia: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiUI-mdYdWx1p81Ui_Xt0jg?feature=mhee. Please go to the link and enjoy listening to the proceedings in the Indonesian language. We regret that we could not include Hazrat Ameer’s condolence message for the memorial issue dedicated to the late Mrs. Aziz Ahmad. It is included in this issue. ***** Mrs Akhtar Aziz – An Embodiment of Prayers for All Reminiscences about Akhtar Apa by Hazrat Ameer Dr A. K. Saeed Arrival in England I arrived in England from New Zealand in April 1976 and amongst my first hosts were the Aziz family. For someone new to any country a welcoming family is a blessing that Allah grants as a special favour to those who feel lost on arrival in a new place. I, of course, was not feeling lost in the real sense of the term ‘lost’. I had a big family in England, the members of our Jama‘at , who have an inbuilt love for other members. I had an immediate shower of love by so many families but mostly Faiz Khan and his family, and Aziz Sahib and his family. The later of course was already known to me as the children and grandchildren of much-revered members of the Ahmadiyya Movement – Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi Sahib and Dr Allah Bakhsh Sahib. I did not remember meeting any of the members of this family in Pakistan but at the very first meeting in England the person who had the most impact on my mind was Akhtar Apa. She had a perpetual smile that reflected the sincere inner self and love she had for my wife, my son Mujahid, and me. The reason for her respect and smile was not our ‘pretty faces’ but the immense respect and reverence she had for my father, who was her doctor at some stage of her life when she was ill. She loved my wife because of the respect she had for my wife’s mother, Razia Madad Ali. She would always talk fondly of our parents. We soon developed a bond with her as our Apa , the elder who treated us like her brothers and sisters, and we reciprocated the same for her. So, for us Apa was not used by us in the sense of a term used in Pakistan for all female persons older than oneself; she treated me like her younger brother and my wife as a sister; or perhaps a daughter. She kept this bond of love for me and my family. 3 Last meeting I consider myself lucky that I was able to visit Akhtar Apa during my last visit to the UK. She was ill and physically confined to bed. Even in her illness she spared no effort to express her affection and happiness that I was there to see her. Of course she called me ‘Janji’ most of the time. This was the name people called my father, the late Dr Saeed Ahmad. I could have perhaps rushed to the conclusion that she was confused, but she had called me by this name even when she was well. It was also a demonstration of the reverence in which she held my father.

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.

    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.

  • Fathi Islam – Edisi 002/2014
    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.
