Finding hope after loss
Khuddam from US West Coast meet Huzoor Islamabad, Tilford, 11 January 2026: A delegation of khuddam from the West Coast of the USA had the blessed opportunity of a mulaqat with Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vaa. The mulaqat commenced as Huzooraa graced the hall with his presence and extended his salaam. The amir-e-qafilah introduced the group, explaining that the khuddam hailed from two Regions of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya USA, namely Southwest and Northwest, representing cities such as Seattle, Sacramento, Silicon Valley, Phoenix, San Diego and largely from
Los Angeles. Following this, each khadim had the opportunity to introduce himself. During the introductions, Huzooraa engaged with the members. To a khadim of Indonesian heritage who introduced himself in Urdu but admitted his proficiency was limited, Huzooraa encouraged him, saying he could learn the language.

A khadim shared a deeply personal struggle, explaining that he and his wife had suffered the heartbreak of two miscarriages. He expressed that the pain was intense and they were both afraid to try again despite being young and healthy. He sought Huzoor’saa guidance on how to find the hope to try again. Huzooraa listened to him and enquired about the details, asking if they had any children, to which the khadim replied in the negative. Huzooraa asked about the medical care they were receiving and the khadim confirmed they were under the supervision of doctors. Huzooraa acknowledged the severity of the pain, noting that it is especially difficult for a mother to bear such loss. However, he advised the couple to “never give up and never lose hope”. He urged them to pray to Allah the Almighty, assuring them that Allah would help them, insha-Allah. Huzooraa graciously instructed the khadim to inform him when his wife conceives next, offering to send homoeopathic medicine if they wished. He concluded with a prayer that Allah may bless them with a healthy, long-living child.
