Maturity demands action, not just words National amila of Majlis Ansarullah Netherlands meets Huzoor
Islamabad, Tilford, 15 June 2025: Members of the national amila of Majlis Ansarullah of the Netherlands, along with the zu‘ama’ and nazimeen-e-a‘la, had the honour of a mulaqat with Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vaa, at Islamabad, Tilford, UK. The mulaqat commenced as Huzooraa entered the hall, sat down and extended greetings to all present. Sadr Sahib Majlis Ansarullah, the Netherlands, introduced the delegation. Huzooraa then led the attendees in a silent prayer. Following the prayer, Huzooraa delivered advice to the amila members.
Assess your actions, not just listen to speeches Hazrat Amirul Momineenaa reminded the members of Majlis Ansarullah that they are of a mature age, having lived for at least 40 years, and therefore, little needs to be explained to them. He cautioned against the habit of merely attending, listening, and leaving without any practical application of the guidance given. Huzooraa stressed that meetings are only truly beneficial when they serve as a platform to review the implementation of action plans, schemes, and programmes. He stated that it is essential to assess the extent to which targets have been met and to analyse the resulting outcomes. It should not be a time to be still asking how work ought to be done.

When the last third of the night remained, he sat up, َ gazed towards the sky and recited: ِا َّن ِف ِ ۡی َ َ ۡ ّ ُ ۡ ٰ َ ّ ٰ َ َ َ ۡ ّ َ َ ۡ َ ۡ َ ٰ ٰ َّ َ َۡۡ اِّب ِ ِض واَختَِل ِ َخّل ِﻖ الَّسٰمٰو ِِت واۡلَاۡر ِ َاف الِّی ِِّل والۡنھاۡرِ ۡلَاۡی ٍَت ۡلَِاوٰلِی اۡلَالب – ‘In the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of the night and the day there are indeed Signs for people of understanding’ [Surah Aal-eʿImran, Ch.3: V.191] “He then rose, performed ablution, cleaned his teeth with a siwak, and offered eleven rak‘ahs of prayer. After that, Bilal called the azan; the Prophetsa prayed two brief rak‘ahs [i.e., the sunnah of Fajr] and went out to lead the Fajr prayer.” Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, In His Own Words
