NOVEMBER 24TH 2023
His Holiness (aba) urged to continue praying for Palestinians. May Allah grant them salvation from the oppression they are facing. There is currently a pause in fighting so that essential materials may reach the people. But what will happen afterwards? Will they kill those people after rendering them aid? Israel’s intentions seem dangerous. One of their government advisors said that if fighting did not immediately commence after this pause, then he would leave the government. This is their mentality. Big powers do apparently express sympathy, but they do not wish to act with justice and are not serious inthismatter. They think this will remain contained to that area, but those who are wise have started saying that the war will not remain confined to just that region, rather will spread abroad to their countries as well. Muslim nations have started raising their voices, such as the Saudi king, who said that Muslims must unite and have one voice. The Muslims will certainly have to do so, and this will require a concerted effort. May Allah the Almighty enable this realization of theirs to come to practical fruition as well. His Holiness (aba) said that a great deal of attention must be given to offering prayers.
DECEMBER 1ST 2023
His Holiness (aba) urged continued prayers for the Palestinians. His Holiness (aba) said that after the pause in fighting, there will be indiscriminate bombardment upon them once again, as a result of which more innocent people will lose their lives. What will be the extent of this cruelty? Only Allah knows best. The intentions of the greater powers for them are very dangerous. Hence, we must pray a great deal for them, that Allah the Almighty hasmercy.
DECEMBER 8TH 2023
His Holiness (aba) again urged continued prayers for the Palestinians. In recent days, after the pause in fighting ended, exactly whatwasexpectedis takingplacenow. The Israeli government is bombarding and attacking every part of Gaza with even greater force than before. More innocent children are being martyred. Now, even a Jewish representative of Congress in the United States has said that this is enough andthat theUnitedStatesmustplayitspart in bringing this to an end. The President of the United States is also saying in hidden terms that this firing must end which is taking place in the North and the South simultaneously. Before it used to be said that nothing would be done in the South yet there are now attacks there too. We should not make the mistake of thinking that the words of the American President are not the result of any sort of compassion for humanity, rather these words are for his ownbenefit, seeingas elections are coming up in the United States, and the younger population is calling for a ceasefire, as are Muslim Americans. Hence all this is being done to win votes, otherwise there is no compassion for Palestinians or Muslims. His Holiness (aba) saidthat thevoicesofMuslim countries are beginning to gain some strength, however until they unite and call for a ceasefire, there will be no benefit. May Allah establish unity among Muslims.
His Holiness (aba) said that the nonMuslim world knows that there is no unityintheMuslimworld, ratherMuslims are killing each other. Thousands of children and innocent people are being killed at the hands of Muslims. This emboldensnon-Muslims, who think that it is fine to inflict cruelties on Muslims, seeing as they inflict cruelties on themselves. When Muslims do not care for the lives of Muslims, then why would the enemy? God has strictly warned in the Qur’an against the taking of life of other Muslims, and has rendered a Muslimwhodoes sotobehellbound. His Holiness (aba) prayed that Muslims unite and become ameansof ending injustice rather than fighting amongst each other.
His Holiness (aba) said that the UN has tried raising its voice, but who listens to them? They say this will do this and that, but they cannot do anything because there is no one who listens to them. The major powers exert their rights. His Holiness (aba) prayed that may Allah have mercy upon the Muslims. His Holiness (aba) said that in order to end these cruelties, we must pray while also calling on politicians to raise their voices to end these injustices. Similarly, we must convey the same message among our contacts. His Holiness (aba) prayed that may Allah save the innocent from injustices.
DECEMBER 15TH 2023
His Holiness (aba) urged continuous prayers for the Palestinians. The cruelties are exceeding all bounds and increasing by the day. May Allah bring the oppressors to task and create ease for the oppressed Palestinians. May he grant the Muslim countries reason and understanding that they must unite as one voice so that they may be those who strive to uphold the rights of their Muslim brethren.
DECEMBER 22ND 2023
His Holiness (aba) again urged for prayers for the people of Palestine. May Allah enable the world to truly take action against injustice. Although more voices are being raised and people say that injustices are being perpetrated, however, it seems that everyone is afraid of the Israeli government. Either that, or the Western world is naturally against the Muslim world and harbours hatred against them, due to which they do not wish for the injustices against them to end, or are not taking the necessary actions to bring the injustices to an end. They do not consider that these injustices are being perpetrated against innocent children, women and the elderly. Hence, we cannot fully trust them, however, we must continue striving to help them understand and we must also continue to pray. May Allah enable the Muslim world to bolster its voice so that they may raise their voices and bring an end to these injustices.
JANUARY 5TH 2023
His Holiness (aba) reminded everyone to keep the people of Palestine in their prayers. In their own circles, everyone should speak up in favour of the Palestinians and inform people, especially politicians. It does not seem like Israel is going to desist from their unjust ways. In fact, they sent a message to their soldiers saying that the war will continue into 2024. May Allah the Almighty have mercy on the Palestinians. It is also said that there is a threat of the war spreading throughout the region, which could then lead to a world war. They have started bombardment around Beirut. They only seem to be increasing, despite the fact that the USA has been advising them to scale back their attack. However, these too seem to be mere words and futile voices. It seems as if their real purpose is to eradicate Palestinians from Gaza and then take over that land. May Allah the Almighty have mercy on the Palestinians and also grant reason and understanding to the Muslims and enable them to hear and accept the call of the Imamof the Age.
JANUARY 19TH 2023
His Holiness (aba) again urged prayers for Palestine. His Holiness (aba) said that the state of Muslim nations is such that instead of uniting to help the people of Palestine, they have started fighting among themselves. It has been reported that a conflict has started between Pakistan and Iran and both have dropped bombs on each other. This is the dangerous situation that is playing out. His Holiness (aba) prayed that may Allah grant Muslim nations and leaders wisdom and understanding. May Allah grant them the ability to understand their purpose andmay they become a united people.
JANUARY 26TH 2023
His Holiness (aba) said that these days we should keep the Ahmadis of Yemen in our prayers, as they are enduring very difficult circumstances these days. Furthermore, His Holiness (aba) urged prayers for the Muslim world, that may Allah enable them to establish unity and grant them wisdom and understanding. His Holiness (aba) said to pray for the general state of the world, as it hurdles towards a world war; may Allah have mercy.
FEBRUARY 2ND 2023
His Holiness (aba) again drew attention towards prayers for the general state of the Palestinians. His Holiness (aba) said that there is some news that efforts are being made to end the fighting in Gaza and perhaps the Israeli government may agree to this. However, the chances of a war breaking out at the border of Lebanon seem to be increasing, which would impact the Palestinians in the West Bank. There is no trace of justice in the Western governments. Now, Western writers are openly declaring that the injustices have exceeded all bounds. The US President is fanning this war only to improve their own livelihoods, as doing so increases their income through the arms trade. Now, their own analysts say that the US is trying to extend this war in order to better its own economy. They do not realise that they cannot avoid the wrath of God Almighty.
Through prayers and reaching out to their contacts, Ahmadis must play their part. Recently there was also news that the US and UK stopped funding a UN agency that renders aid. They refused to do so upon the pretence that 11 or 12 members of Hamas were involved with them and said that thus they should not help the Palestinians. This was nothing but a ploy to force their hand. But it is astounding that if the Western world has stopped their aid, there is no news that those countries with the wealth of oil have announced anything saying that they will help render aid instead. The UN agency has announced that if they do not receive any help, then they will not be able to provide any aid beyond themonth of February.
His Holiness (aba) prayed that may Allah the Almighty enable the Muslim countries to play their part and may the disorder in the world come to an end. Now the threat of a war with Iran is also increasing. His Holiness (aba) also urged prayers for the Ahmadis of Yemen. One of our Ahmadis who had been imprisoned passed away in captivity due to not receiving adequate medical attention. It is difficult to obtain details, however His Holiness (aba) urged for prayers. His Holiness (aba) said that he would lead the funeral prayer of the deceased upon receiving further details.
His Holiness (aba) also urged prayers for the Ahmadis of Pakistan. Ahmadis are always made targets for political gain. The Community is also facing threats from certain extremist factions. In fact, Ahmadis face a double threat wherever they are; on account of being a citizen and on account of being an Ahmadi. His Holiness (aba) said to pray for the Ahmadis of Rabwah and those living throughout the country; may Allah keep them in His protection, turn the evil back upon the evildoers, and may Allah the Almighty protect Ahmadis in every country.
May the world realise the reality that without turning to Allah the Almighty there is no other way. Their survival is in the recognition of Allah and those sent by Him. May Allah the Almighty enable themto do so.
FEBRUARY 16TH 2023
His Holiness (aba) said that he wished to say something about the current conditions in the world. The flame of war continues to spread. A great deal of prayers are required to save humanity from destruction. If Ahmadis truly pray, then they will be able to play their role in this regard. The Israeli government is set in its ways and they find some excuse or another to present at every instance and they are not prepared to accept any reason or rationality. The other powerful governments in the world start by saying that there should be a ceasefire, but then either of their own will or out of fear of Israel, respond to anything said by the Israeli government or its leader by agreeing with them. May Allah have mercy on them and turn them towards God Almighty. This is the only way these people can take refuge and protect their lives in this world and the next. May Allah the Almighty have mercy on them, enable us to pray, and have mercy onus as well.
FEBRUARY 23RD 2023
His Holiness (aba) said that once again, opposition against the Community has increased in Pakistan. Politicians and clerics who lost in the recent election or did not get the results they wanted are targeting Ahmadis in order to spread disorder. This has always been their way, whenever they fail, they target Ahmadis to gain popularity, and this is what is happening now as well. They do whatever they can to achieve their own interests. Hence, not only should Ahmais remain vigilant they should also focus more on offering prayers and giving alms. May Allah the Almighty keep Ahmadis safe.His Holiness (aba) also urged continued prayers for the Ahmadis in Yemen. May Allah the Almighty create ease for them. Many of them are imprisoned, may Allah create the means for their release. His Holiness (aba) also urged prayers for Palestinians; may Allah the Almighty have mercy on them and save them from the oppression of the big powers.
