Guarding time and faith in the digital age Members of MKA USA’s Virginia Region meet Huzoor Islamabad, Tilford, 5 December 2025: Members of Majlis Khuddam-ulAhmadiyya USA’s Virginia Region were granted a mulaqat with Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vaa. At the outset, Huzooraa arrived, conveyed greetings to all present and took his seat. Each khadim was given the opportunity to introduce himself. After this, the khuddam sought permission to present their questions, which Huzooraa graciously allowed.
Maintaining harmony with close relatives A khadim asked how one should respond when emotional distress is caused by injustice or hurt from close relatives. Huzooraa advised that one should pray for such relatives, seeking that Allah the Almighty grants them understanding and wisdom. Alongside this, a person should
also pray for personal strength and patience to endure with dignity. Huzooraa guided that, where appropriate, one should speak to the relatives directly and enquire about the reasons behind the hurtful conduct, so that misunderstandings may be removed and relationships repaired. Huzooraa emphasised that the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophetsa teach believers to behave as brothers to one another and to adopt compassion and mercy in mutual dealings. (Surah at-Tawbah, Ch.9:V.71; Surah al-Fath, Ch.48:V.30; Surah al-Hujurat, Ch.49: V.11) He highlighted the importance of sitting together, communicating calmly and nurturing reconciliation. Huzooraa indicated that when people remain divided, external forces often benefit from their disputes, while conflicts within families and communities persist. Therefore, one should search for the real causes of disagreement, make efforts to remove them, avoid
prolonged resentment and cultivate the habit of making peace.
Facing bullying or discrimination at school A khadim asked how an Ahmadi Muslim should respond to bullying or discrimination in school settings. Huzooraa explained that in many societies, those who identify culturally with religion may still be distant from belief in God and such attitudes can lead to mocking or bullying of people of faith. He indicated that prejudice can hence be directed not only at Muslims but at others as well, though some groups may be treated differently due to social or institutional pressures. Huzooraa advised that Ahmadis should respond with calmness and confidence, explaining that they follow a faith they believe to be true and that one should not judge an entire teaching based on the
wrong actions of individuals. He urged the khadim to explain that Islam’s true teachings are rooted in love, compassion, service to humanity and moral conduct. Huzooraa advised that such matters should be addressed with gentle and respectful conversation, not harshness. He noted that when someone is kindly confronted with the inconsistency of condemning a faith while engaging in harmful behaviour themselves, those who possess a sense of shame may feel embarrassed and reconsider their conduct. Those who persist stubbornly should be ignored. Huzooraa further counselled that Ahmadis should not respond by generalising negatively about other groups. He drew attention to the Islamic teaching of refraining from insulting the objects of reverence of others, as such actions can Continued on page 3
