Peace be upon you.
Ahmadiyya Khalifatul Messiah Addressed to Members of Parliament Holland, Laid Foundation Stones of Mosques in Holland and Germany, Comments by Local and Guest Dignitaries. Wide Coverage by Newspapers, TV and Radio.....All by Decreed Grace of God.
Peace be on you….Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (may Allah be his Helper) said that it is the blessing and benevolence of Allah the Exalted that, in each tour, He shows signs of His Support and Capability. Sometime worry is felt when some local Jama'ats with no prior experience make programs with the non-Ahmadis. Such programs need publicity through non-ahmadiyya means which raise concerns about possible problems by mischievous people. Concern is also felt if program will be of lesser standard it might provide opportunity of malicious joy for opponents. Many concerns are felt. We can not be even grateful to God the Exalted for His Support and Help. These scenes makes one astonished. The promises by Allah the Exalted to Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) show new colour every time. Rather sometime comments and praise by non-Ahmadi guests make the arrangement-makers wonder if they really made such program which is being so highly praised by others? This praise is not superficial but it is felt to be coming from hearts of guests; their eyes, their faces tell what they are saying is voice of their hearts. Seeing these things, one is filled with passions of praise of Allah the Exalted that He covered the weaknesses and program was successful.
Huzur (a.t.) said he was on the tour of Holland and Germany. Jama'at Ahmadiyya Germany is a big and organized Jama'at by the grace of Allah the Exalted and they have links with each segment of people. Media knows them and covers them well. Some newspaper and other media see progress of Jama'at and give news. Some asian-origin politicians keep starting anti-Jama'at movements to garner cheap publicity. But, in general, German politicians, educated class and German public too which has link with Jama'at in any way, have good opinion about Jama'at. That is why they get true picture of Islam. Various programs arranged by Ahmadis in Germany is a way of introduction of true Islam and Ahmadiyyat in Germany.
But, in Holland, Jama'at is small and sofar they have not done such an active effort, through media, to introduce Ahmadiyyat and true Islam in the large part of the country. They do not have such links with members of parliament, diplomats and educated class of society, so that they may know Jama'at and consider them representative Jama'at of Islam. But Allah the Exalted made way to hold a function in Parliament House through a member of parliament (of Nunspeet area where we have our center – he met Huzur a.t. in a Jalsa in Holland) who was told about Jama'at two or three years ago. This member parliament is (was?) acting chairman of foreign affair committee of parliament. Through him, foreign affair committee arranged a program in a hall in parliament. Ameer sahib Jama'at Holland wrote Huzur a.t. about the prepations and invited Huzur a.t to come.
Huzur (a.t.) said: I went. I thought there would be few people. As introduction of Jama'at is not much in the country, people will not come and Jama'at (here) does not have experience of such work. Anyway, by the grace of Allah the Exalted, keeping conditions of Holland Jama'at in view, their functions was quite good.
In that event, 89 leading officials / people were present. In addition to Dutch members of parliament, there were members of parliaments, ambassadors, other government officials and representatives from Spain, Ireland, Sweden, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, India, Philippine, Denmark and Cyprus.
Jama'at in germany has many good level connections but yet they could not do program of this level. No doubt their dignitaries come in our functions and after seeing the true picture of Islam they speak their minds. The reason for not doing such large program is perhaps Germany is bigger country than Holland……Hopefully Jama'at in Holland will try to make progress in the the step taken and connections with newspapers and media. They should not consider the work done so far as their acme.
Huzur (a.t.) said: In the function at Parliament House (Holland), I stated briefly teaching of Islam and matters with respect to current events for 18/20. Generally when I say something about teaching of Islam, people feel they received satisfactory answers to their questions, but in this function three or four parliamentarians who belonged to various parties, they said now they wanted to ask questions. I said they may. But they asked some questions which were nothing but repetition of already said things. It seemed they wanted me to say at some stage that teaching of Islam is wrong - Nauzobillah (we seek refuge in Allah), or I may say something which may give them opportunity to say something against Islam. This thing was noted by parliamentarians form other countries and they mentioned it latter that attitude of one or two were not right. Some Dutch too, who were present and watching the pragrame showed their dislike and embarrassment for it…….. Anyway, it does not matter to us. Some people thought perhaps they wanted to make me angry. It is blessing of Allah the Exalted that He has granted me a lot of forebearance. One among them felt by himself because when he came to have photograph with me, he said if his questions were not appropriate, he apologizes……The program has long detail, you might have seen and heard at MTA, or you may read in reports. Here all of that cannot be stated. But excellent teaching of Islam left good effect on non-Ahmadi guests. Sometimes thought comes to mind if such question was answered in such way, it would have been better. But Allah the Exalted blessed in such way that the given answers exerted good effect on others, and they mentioned it too that such questions had indeed these answers given in best way…..It is the work of Allah the Exalted, He captures hearts and pour awe. Human efforts cannot do anything. The taking place of this program is in itself a special blessing of God the Exalted. If Jama'at of Holland say it happened with the effort of some person or Jama'at, it will be wrong. I think, most of them will say they did not understand how it took place……..About the good standard of the program, the member parliament who organized the program told an Ahmadi latter that this program should have been much more covered in media (though we think much coverage was done) and should have been leading headline on page one so that people of the country should have known the true teaching of Islam……He also said that many members of parliament asked him how could he arranged this program.
