The Holy Quran

Al- Jumu’ah Chapter 62: Verse 10

‘O ye who believe! when the call is made for Prayer on Friday hasten to the

remembrance of Allah, and leave of all business. That is best for you, if you only

knew.’

Hadith – The Foundations of Islam

Abdullah bin Masud (ra) states that he asked the Holy Prophet (saw) which deed was

most pleasing to Allah The Exalted. The Holy Prophet (saw) replied:

‘”Offering the prayers at the appointed time.’I enquired,

‘And after this?’ He replied, ‘Being kind to parents.’

I asked, ‘Which deed after this?’

He answered, ‘Striving in the path of Allah.’”

Blessings of Prayer

2

“...Prayer, in essence, means a relationship of mutual attraction between a righteous

person and his Lord. This means that God’s grace first draws a person towards Himself,

and then, through the magnetism of the person’s sincerity, God draws closer to him. In

the state of prayer this relationship reaches a point where it manifests wonderful

qualities. When a man in grave difficulty falls down in prayer with perfect certainty,

perfect hope, perfect fidelity, and perfect resolve; and when he becomes perfectly

alert and advances far into the field of self-annihilation, tearing aside all veils of

heedlessness, lo and behold, he finds before him the Divine threshold, and he

perceives that God has no associate. His soul then prostrates itself at the Divine

threshold and the power of attraction that is invested in him draws the bounties of

God Almighty towards him. It is then that the Glorious God attends to the fulfillment of

the desired objective, and casts the effect of the prayer on all the preliminary means,

which, in turn, produce the means that are essential for the achievement of the

objective. For example, if the prayer is for rain and it is accepted, all the natural

means which are necessary for causing rain are created as a result of the prayer. If

the prayer is for famine, the All-Powerful One creates the opposite means. And this

is why the eminent recipients of revelation and men of perfection have proven with

their extraordinary experiences that the prayers of a perfect one are endowed with

a power of creation. That is to say, under Divine command, prayer influences the

lower and higher strata of the world and sways the elements, heavenly bodies, and

hearts of men towards the desired objective. There is no shortage of such examples

in Divine scriptures. In fact, some kinds of miracles are also the result of the

acceptance of prayer. Prayer is the source of the thousands of miracles shown by

Prophets as well as the marvels that have been displayed by the saints to this day.

And, more often than not, it is through prayers that the supernatural signs of Divine

Omnipotence are manifested.”

Friday Sermon

The Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer is one form of congregational worship in Islam. It

takes place every Friday. Regular attendance at the Jumu'ah prayer is enjoined

on the believer. According to a Saying of Muhammadsaw

this congregational

prayer is twenty-five times more blessed than worship performed alone.

We encourage members to read Huzurs Friday sermons which can be found at:

http://www.alislam.org/archives/

For your benefit we have published below, a gist of Huzurs Friday Sermon

delivered on 1st

January 2010.

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad

NUR OF GOD

Summary

� Huzur (aba) said with the grace of God the first day of 2010

is the blessed day of Friday, Huzur (aba) wished that this

year and each year to follow is blessed for every Ahmadi in

every way.

� We welcome New year by livening our nights with worship

unlike non-believers who spend the first few hours of a New

Year in idle amusements, revelry and alcohol consumption.

� One’s life is a constant endeavour towards spiritual

progress aiming to be granted God’s Nur.

� Taqwa and perfect obedience of the Holy Prophet (pbuh)

earns one nur from God and one is rewarded with the good

of this world and the Hereafter.

� May we practice taqwa in the true sense and be enabled to

attain a measure of the nur brought by the Holy Prophet

pbuh

A truly

blessed day

way.

� leads to spiritual development

� focuses one on rights of God and His people

� makes one seek the pleasure of God with all his/her capacities

� is a day of practical effort to attain God’s nearness

� For a believer a year and its days are blessed when

repentance is accepted and spirituality is enhanced leading to

salvation.

� Friday is a most blessed day as stated by the Holy Prophet

(peace and blessing of Allah be on him)

� A believer tries to make Friday a day of his/her salvation, as

that there is a time on Friday at which a Muslim, while he/she

is offering Salat and is supplicating, will be granted whatever

he/she is supplicating for.

� Huzur (aba) said the first day of the year being a Friday makes

it all the more significant for a believer so that he/she can

adorn it with prayers.

� We welcome New year by livening our nights with worship

unlike non-believers who spend the first few hours of a New

Year in idle amusements, revelry and alcohol consumption.

Verse 16

� . �� ء�� ٱ�� ر و��ـ� !" � There has come to you indeed from Allah a Light and a clear

Book

� The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him)

taught us an excellent way to partake of this light with

reference to Friday.

� A TRULY BLESSED DAY AND NUR OF GOD

� ‘Among the best of your days is Friday. On that day invoke

blessings and salutations (Durud) on me frequently, for your

Durud is presented to me on this day.’

� The blessings of the most sincere invocation of Durud gave the Promised

Messiah (on whom be peace) the station of Messiah

� The Promised Messiah ( on whom be peace) enjoined his followers to

invoke Durud on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).

He said in turn they would then attain a measure of nur in accordance to

their [spiritual] capacities and this would put their lives in this world and the

Hereafter in order.

Huzur (aba)

explained

the Hadith

� The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday. On that day

Adam was created, he was admitted to Paradise, and he was

expelled therefrom’.

� The significance of Friday, entering or being expelled from

Paradise, are all dependent on deeds.

� It is up to the children of Adam how they utilise Friday.

� If they are drawn to virtue, to prayer and invoking Durud their

life on this earth can be paradisiacal and they have the glad-

tidings of Paradise in the Hereafter.

� However, if are embroiled in bad deeds then they have the

tidings of Hell in this and the next world.

TWO

PARADISES

Chapter 55,

Verse 47

و�� ف ��م ر ��ۦ ��ن �� But for him who fears to stand before his Lord there are two

Gardens

� The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) elucidated that a

person who abandons sins out of earnest fear of God and His

reckoning is promised two Paradises.

� Firstly, he is granted a heavenly life on this very earth, he

goes through a pure change in this world and God takes care

of all his needs and wants.

� Secondly, he is granted eternal Paradise in the Hereafter for he

overcame and gave up sin of the self out of fear of God and gave

God precedence over everything.

� Today God has given us an opportunity to adorn the very first day of the

year with prayers.

� Pray for the environment, for the society and your country

� Pray for Ahmadiyyat, the true Islam

� Pray for yourself and for your family

� Now, the permanence of the world and mankind is with the prayers of

an Ahmadi and it leads to Paradise.

Tadhkirah, p.

� God revealed to the Promised Messiah (on whom be

peace),

� ‘He created Adam and bestowed honour upon him.

DEEDS AND

NUR OF GOD

�

� O ye who believe! fear Allah and believe in His

Messenger; He will give you a double share of His

mercy, and will provide for you a light wherein you will

walk, and will grant you forgiveness — and verily Allah

is Most Forgiving, Merciful

� One’s life is a constant endeavour towards spiritual

progress along with a need to rid the society of sin.

� A New Year should be welcomed with repentance, with

serving God’s creation.

DEEDS AND

NUR OF GOD

� The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that

those who are steadfast and firm on taqwa and who

adopt a certain detachment from this world in their

love of God are given distinction from the rest.

� They are granted a nur that permeates all their actions

and their faculties. Nur permeates their wisdom and

every action of theirs; their paths become of nur. In

short, they are encased in nur.

� Taqwa and ignorance cannot coexist. Although

perception and insight and in turn taqwa can be of a

higher or lesser degree.

�

� Huzur (aba) said that if an Ahmadi is firm on taqwa,

he/she will avoid ignorance.

� Taqwa and perfect obedience of the Holy Prophet

(pbuh) makes one a beloved of God and earns one

double reward and nur from God. The double reward is

the good of this world and the good of the Hereafter.

Mathematics Trivia

How old is the house ? Gretchen and Henry were looking

to buy a house together, and finally

found one with a beautifully

landscaped yard, plenty of

bedrooms, and a beautiful tree out

front. They asked the owner how

old the house was, and this was his

reply:

"I planted that tree when the

house was built. It was 7 feet tall at

the time. It has grown 3 feet each

year, and at the end of this past full

year, it was four times its original

height."

"But how old is the house?" asked

Henry.

Gretchen said, "Don't be so dense.

He just told us."

So, how old is the house?

Verse 165

� -- nor does any bearer of burden bear the burden of

another. --.

� Each person is answerable for his/her actions. Good deeds

are a source of attaining good in this world and in the

Hereafter.

Chapter 2,

Verse 202

�

� This prayer speaks of the believers who seek good in this

world and the Hereafter.

� And of them there are some who say: ‘Our Lord, grant us

good in this world as well as good in the world to come, and

protect us from the torment of the Fire.’

� GOOD IN THIS WORLD AS WELL AS GOOD IN THE WORLD TO

COME

� This prayer prevents us from the hell of this world while

honouring the dues of God and the dues of mankind.

� ‘Our Lord, grant us good in this world as well as good in the world to come’

� The words Rabbana (Our Lord) have a subtle indication towards repentance.

� Man creates many a false rabb, such as one’s schemes, knowledge, physical

strength, beauty or property etc.

� Unless one abandons all these and turns to the One God one cannot truly

appreciate the True Rabb

� The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that Taubah (repentance) is

not something that is superfluous or useless for man.

� It can benefit man in this world as well as in the Hereafter.

Huzur (aba)

prayed

� May God always grant us good in this world and in the

Hereafter and save us from the torment.

� May He enable us to tread the paths of virtues.

� May the New Year and every year to come keep the

Community and the people of the Community safe and bring

us good.

CAMPING AT BAITUL HUDA MOSQUE & FRIENDLY

SOCCER MATCH

Report by Murad Khan, Muhtamim Khidmate Khalq, Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya, Australia

As per our Calendar, we had our Khuddam and Atfal Camp on 19 December at the Baitul Huda

Mosque. I was lucky to organize a friendly game of Soccer and Tug of War on the day with my

Turkish Muslim friends. They were too kind to accept and 25 members of the Turkish Muslim

Community turned up.

The Turkish team won the soccer 3-2 while we won the Tug of War competition. Dinner was

served after the games. The President and another friend of mine from the Turkish Community

prayed Magrib with us before leaving. They seemed eager to return and also invited us to their

mosque for dinner.

Duties were allocated with Majlis Al Noor doing all the catering, Majlis Al Sadaqat organizing

accommodation, and Majlis Baitul Huda looking after drinks and First Aid during the games.

Atfal and Khuddam continued with their own programs after Maghrib & Isha prayers. We

watched a DVD on Ahmadiyyat in Australia. Members then had friendly table tennis matches.

We called it a day around 11pm with members sleeping in the upper hall of the mosque. We

began the next day with Tahajjud & Fajr prayers followed by a Question and Answer session

chaired by Br Imran Mirza Karim saheb.

We then had breakfast and played friendly Volleyball and cricket matches. The program

concluded around 8am with clean up. We thank Amir Sahib for his approval and his

delayed, but it was worth the wait. After dinner, there was a brief session where

brothers Mashood Bajwa and Khalid Nasir thanked all the fellow Khuddams and

wished them all the best for the future, and brother Atif also gave his farewell

speech and everyone wished him well for his future endeavors. The night ended with
