Friday Sermon
Brief Summary of Friday Sermon 25th July 2025
After reciting Tashahhud, Ta‘awwuz and Surah al-Fatihah, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad(aba) said that today, the Jalsa Salana (Annual Convention) UK will commence.
His Holiness(aba) said that the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) stated that this Convention is of great importance, as it contains programmes for the intellectual, moral and spiritual betterment of the Community. His Holiness(aba) prayed that may Allah enable everyone to truly benefit from the Jalsa Salana.
His Holiness(aba) said that he would now address the volunteers and attendees of the Jalsa.
Guidance for the Hospitality of Volunteers at Jalsa Salana:
His Holiness(aba) said that Islam lays great emphasis on the treatment of guests. The Holy Prophet(sa) instructed to give the due rights to guests. In light of this, the companions would forfeit their own rights in order to tend to their guests. There is a famous incident where the Holy Prophet(sa) assigned a guest to stay at the home of one of his companions. When the companion asked his wife if there was anything to eat at home, she said it was only enough for the children. Hence, they put the children to sleep so that they would not feel hungry, and then the husband and wife sat with their guest in the dark after presenting him food, so he would not realise that they were not eating alongside him. God informed the Holy Prophet(sa) about this, and the next day, the Holy Prophet(sa) said to the companion that the manner in which he had fed his guest that previous night greatly pleased God and made Him laugh.
His Holiness(aba) said that this is the standard of hospitality, and so, those guests of the Promised Messiah(as) who are visiting to attend the Jalsa should be tended to and treated with hospitality and the utmost care. The volunteers should ensure this, and even if they have to hear anything harsh from a guest, they should remain patient while continuing to discharge their duties at the highest level, while exhibiting the highest moral standards.
His Holiness(aba) said that there is a famous incident of the Promised Messiah’s(as) hospitality, which we should not simply enjoy upon hearing but should use to inspire our own treatment of the guests of the Promised Messiah(as). Some guests arrived in Qadian and, upon reaching the Langar Khana (Kitchen of the Promised Messiah(as)), they were met by some workers whose demeanour was not ideal towards them, causing the guests to become upset. And so, they got back on the carriage they had arrived in and left. Upon learning of this, the Promised Messiah(as) became displeased. He quickly left his home without any time to even properly put on his shoes. Nonetheless, he went after the guests on foot and caught up with them after some time. He brought them back with him, saying that they should remain seated in their carriage, and he would accompany them on foot. The guests did not feel this was right and insisted that they also travel on foot. In any case, they returned to Qadian, and the Promised Messiah(as) himself offered to unload their belongings. Already ashamed of their prior behaviour, the workers rushed forward to unload the luggage. Seeing as the guests were from Assam, the Promised Messiah(as) had special arrangements made for their food.

His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad (aba), the fifth Khalifa (Caliph) of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, says:
"The true purpose of religion is to serve humanity. If you cannot be of service to others, then what value does your faith hold?"
