DawudTalut

Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you…After the blessed tour of Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Japan, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Ahmadiyya Muslim Khalifah of Promised Messiah-Mahdi has returned back to United Kingdom. Allah helped him to take the message of true peaceful Islam to 35,000,000 people in the region…All blessings are for Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) who prophesied, Holy Quran based, about latter days progress of true Islam through his ardent devotee Promised Messiah (on whom be peace).


TOUR STARTED WITH STAY AT SINGAPORE
Hadhrat Khalifah tul Messiah V (may Allah be his Helper) met here Ahmadiyya Muslims from Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea and Myanmar. Some of them came with very special effort because of their conditions. Also there is serious persecution going on in some places. There were meetings with members.



SINGAPORE - RECEPTION MEETING WITH 48 DIGNITARIES
These guests were academics, a founder of Singapore, members of Mulim religious organization, professors etc.

QUOTES: NARRATES BY GUESTS (Ref: alislam.org)
A SINGAPOEAN GUEST OF GREAT RESPECT WHO IS ONE OF THE FOUNDER OF SINGAPORE, SERVED 29 YEARS IN DIPLOMATIC SERVICE AS MP AND MINISTER OF STATE said
..when he was a diplomat in Egypt in 1960s conditions were good there but now there is no peace in the Middle East and a wrong impression of Islam is being given. However, he said he was pleased that the head of the Ahmadiyya Jama’at was giving the world the true and peaceful message of Islam and he commended it.


A GUEST WHO IS MEMBER OF MOSQUE COUNCIL MUSLIMS IN INDONESIA AND IS AFFILIATED WITH THE STATE ISLAMIA UNIVERSITY IN JAKARTA said after Huzoor’s address
..the Jama’at should take the arts and sciences of the developed world to the underdeveloped world and thus spearhead in addressing global disunity and poverty. Hazrat Khalifatul explained that his address was on the subject of the current economic state of the world and Islam’s perspective on the matter. The guest said that today no one has the administrative system and the leadership that Jama’at Ahmadiyya has and it presented the true model of Islam.

A MEMBER OF YOUTH MOVEMENT said
..the message given by Huzoor should reach all Indonesian people so that they may understand the Islamic teaching of peace and harmony.


A PROFESSOR said
..it was his wish that those who are opposed to Jama’at Ahmadiyya meet with Hazrat Khalifatul Masih and listen to him so that their hearts may open.


AN INDONESIAN JOURNALIST WHO IS DOING A Ph.D ABOUT JAMA'AT AHMADIYYA said
..he was deeply moved by Huzoor’s discourse on the economic order based on humanity, justice and peace.


AN ENGLISHMAN LIVING IN SINGAPORE SINCE 27 YEARS AND HAS ACCEPTED ISLAM said
..his employers tried to stop him from attending this event and even threatened to dismiss him from employment, yet he came. He said that although he was a Muslim but had heard the true teaching of Islam for the first time. He expressed his desire to visit the UK and said he will seek further information about Jama’at Ahmadiyya and would like to join the Jama’at.


A UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR FROM PHILIPPINES expressed his thanks for being invited to the event. He told Huzoor that in his estimation only Ahmadis can gather humanity and the way to gather humanity was indeed expressed by Huzoor.


A FORMER SECRETARY OF EDUCATION FROM PHILILPPINES, HE IS MUSLIM said
..he testified in favour of the Jama’at that it would triumph. He said just as Muslims in the time of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) were persecuted; now Ahmadis are being persecuted. And just as [early] Islam triumphed, Ahmadis will also triumph and when this will come to pass, he added he will be part of it.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih said many among these people accepted Ahmadiyyat in their hearts but feared certain organisations.



NEXT PART OF TOUR: AUSTRALIA - RECEPTION MEETING WITH 220 DIGNITARIES
In Australia, the Holy Khalifah (a.t.) addressed to a reception meeting of 220 guests from all walks of life held. Guests included members of parliament, high ranking military personnel including a major general representing the Chief of Army Staff, officers of federal police, local councilors and academics. Following are some of the words of some guests who spoke their hearts after the address of Holy Khalifah (a.t.).


QUOTES: NARRATES BY GUESTS (Ref: alislam.org)
AN MP said
..the message of the address transcended religion, it was a message of humanity which we all have to adopt. She acknowledged Huzoor’s mention of the qualities of peace, justice, fairness and service of mankind and said that she knew Ahmadi ladies are not only taking this message forward but are also putting it in practice. She also remarked positively about Ahmadi children. Hazrat Khalifatul Masih said such is the world-view of Ahmadis. Each woman and child should enhance this impression. People are ready to listen to us.


A MEMBER OF THE CHRUCH OF JESUS CHRIST said
..each Australian could understand the clarity with which the head of the Ahmadiyya Jama’at had given discourse on peace and it would be excellent if everyone took the message with them.


A GUEST AND HIS WIFE. The guest said
..he and his wife were looking for the truth for eighteen years[/b] and what they heard on the day was nothing but the truth. He said this message should be adorned in hearts.


A JOURNALIST OF THE OFFICIAL TV CHANNEL ‘ABS’ said
..it was a very considered, balanced and fair address based on facts.


A GUEST said
..she felt proud to attend such a wonderful event and was very impressed by what was said about establishing peace in the world. She said she very much loved these values and wished that people of her country adhered to these values more strongly and she wanted Huzoor to take this message to people because it was very much needed. The lady guest made these remarks with tear-filled eyes.


A COUNCILLOR said
..it was evident from Huzoor’s address that he preached what his religion was about. He said in the two hundred year old history of Australia it was very pleasant to listen to a religious leader giving such a beautiful message. It was like a breath of fresh air in Australia. He said it would be great if Jama’at Ahmadiyya raised its profile and took this message further afield.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih said now it was the task of the Australian Jama’at to move onwards and upwards.


A PAKISTANI MUSLIM GUEST said
..he had not seen the dignity at any other event with which the programme was conduct.


A GUEST HAILING FROM KUWAIT said

THE COUNCILLOR GENERAL OF SOMALIA
..he listened to every single word spoken by Huzoor most attentively and was moved by it.


AUSTRALIA - MELBOURNE AHMADIYYA CENTRE
The acquired centre is on 7 and ½ acres. Price was 800,000 Australian dollars. Further 1.3 million were spent for renovation. Jama'at did traditional Waqar e Amal (dignified self work, labour etc) and saved 500,000 Australian dollars. Current market value is 5 million. Total 3000 people can offer Salaat and additionally 1000 can offer Salaat too. There are related rooms too…Initially, the local council had not allowed place for Muslims’ worship, latter they unanimously allowed for Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at. It was Grace of Allah.

NARRATES - QUOTES
A GUEST, POLICE SUPERINTENDENT said

GUEST INDIRA DEVI said
..she garnered some very fine information from Huzoor’s address and would like a booklet on Islam to be better informed about it. She said she is prejudiced about Islam but generally speaking was honoured at being invited.

= The Deputy Mayor said that Jama’at Ahmadiyya excelled at serving humanity and was most helpful during the floods in Queensland. It is generally said about immigrants that they do not integrate very well but this cannot be said about Jama’at Ahmadiyya.

= The Holy Khalifah presented the translation of Holy Quran in Maori language to the Maori King.

The translation is done by Mr. Shakeel Ahmad, 81, a professor of physics. He learned the language in 25 years. May Allah reward him......He embarked on this project at the advice of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV (may Allah have mercy on him).

Local Moari newspapers lauded the Maori translation of the Holy Qur’an.


With the grace of God a Maori person took Bai’at and a couple more are ready for Bai’at. Huzoor said that following the translation, Maori people will come in the fold of the Jama’at.

= Reception for the new mosque was attended by the Maori King and the Queen and many distinguished guests.

=The total number of guests was 107.

= An Anglican priest said at the reception that all religions should walk together. He greed with what the head of the Jama’at Ahmadiyya said about Islam being discredited by the press as news about acts of terrorism are shown with Muslims offering Salaat which makes people think Islam is connected with extremism.

=The media covered the Maori event as well as the inauguration of the mosque very well.

He thanked for the services of Ahmadiyya Jama'at following the earthquake and tsunami in 2011…..He said he had come to personally meet Jama'at and its head and to tell him his Jama'at serve humanity by following his advice. He also said that after hearing the address of head of Jama'at [Ahmadiyya Khalifah] he is convinced that world peace is in the his teaching.

Holy Khalifah noted that when the true teaching of Islam is explained, descent people accept that peace is associated with Islam. May Allah make it so that the extremists and the leaders who believe in their power and do bad also realize it.

=A guest, who is famous Japanese lawyer, mentioned his gratitude. He recalled that honorable Chaudhry Zafrulla Khan said in a conference in San Francisco in 1951 that Japan should be treated with justice. Its peace was important for world peace. Japan would play important role in world…….The guest said that that is why they have good links with Jama'at Ahmadiyya.

It is unfortunate that today, Chaudhary Zafrullah Sahib’s is not valued in his own country where he was once the [first] foreign minister [appointed by the very founder of the country]..Instead, his name is removed from the text books and children are being taught wrong history.
