Islamabad, Tilford, 11 October 2025: The national amila and various other officebearers of Lajna Imaillah Ireland had the honour of a mulaqat with Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vaa. The meeting commenced as Huzooraa graced the hall with his presence and extended his salaam. The Sadr Lajna Imaillah Ireland, Najia Nusrat Malik Sahiba, introduced the delegation and requested Huzooraa to grant a theme for their upcoming year. ْ Huzooraa bestowed the theme of ‘َاۡل�َ َۡیاء َ “[ ’ َِم َﻦ َاModesty is part of faith” (Sahih ان ِ َّل�ﻳﻤ al-Bukhari, Kitab al-iman, Bab al-haya’u mina l-iman, Hadith 24)]. Huzooraa explained that haya or modesty is a vast and comprehensive subject. He instructed them to research its various facets and then explain them to the Lajna members. A person who cultivates haya, Huzooraa stated,
is one who obeys the commandments of Allah, worships Him and acts upon the directives of the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa, the counsels of the Promised Messiahas and all Islamic injunctions while safeguarding their sanctity. Huzooraa advised them to extract short passages on this broad topic and continuously share them with the members of Lajna Imaillah. After this, each member of the delegation had the opportunity to introduce herself and her responsibilities. During the introductions, Huzooraa enquired from the Ishaat Secretary if they published a periodical. The secretary explained that they did not have a regular publication due to a lack of submissions. Huzooraa noted that there were educated Lajna members in Ireland, including those present in the delegation, who were capable of writing. He guided that if a full periodical was not
feasible, they should at least maintain an active Lajna Imaillah website, regularly uploading articles, Quranic verses and inspiring quotations. The secretary affirmed that they would, insha-Allah, act upon this guidance. Following the introductions, the Sadr requested permission for the members to ask some questions, which Huzooraa graciously granted.
Balancing religious service, childrearing and worldly matters A Lajna member sought guidance on how to create a balance between her duties of serving the faith, raising her children and managing other worldly responsibilities. Huzooraa guided her that he has addressed this very topic extensively on numerous
After this, regret was expressed at the condition of various sufi leaders, who were indulged in sufi music and singing (surud), and other self-invented practices of this nature. In this context, the Promised Messiahas said: “Human beings possess a propensity to derive pleasure in things and this is what moves them to feel pleasure in sufi music and singing. The inner self of man is deceived into thinking that he is deriving pleasure from the subject matter being sung, but in actuality, their inner self is only concerned with the pleasure that it derives from the music itself, irrespective of whether Satan is being praised or God. When these people become engrossed in this and lose themselves to it completely, be it the praise of Satan or the praise of God, both become one and the same.” At this, the walk came to its conclusion. The Promised Messiahas returned later on when it was time for food, and after he had finished eating, he delivered the address that follows. I now present what I have remembered thereof.
