Maintain personal contact with members Amila members from Hamilton, Canada, meet Huzoor Islamabad, Tilford, 31 January 2026: Members of two local amilas from Canada – Hamilton and Hamilton Mountain – were blessed with a joint mulaqat with Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vaa. Huzooraa arrived at the MTA studio and greeted the attendees before leading everyone in a silent prayer. The seating arrangement was organised to distinguish the two delegations; the amila of Hamilton Jamaat was seated on one side, while the amila of Hamilton Mountain Jamaat was seated on the other. Huzooraa first addressed the Hamilton Jamaat, followed by the Hamilton Mountain Jamaat.
Hamilton Jamaat Huzooraa invited the Sadr Jamaat Hamilton to introduce himself. The Sadr mentioned that the amila had prepared a gift for Huzooraa. Huzooraa thanked the president but graciously remarked that gifts could wait and that the focus should be on the work being done. The Naib Sadr, who also serves as Secretary Wasaya, reported next. The General Secretary introduced himself and reported that the total membership of Hamilton Jamaat was 515. Regarding the salat centre, he confirmed there was one centre where women offered prayers in the basement and men on the upper floor. Huzooraa recalled visiting the location in the past. The Secretary Tabligh reported a target of reaching 87,000 households. He stated that pamphlets had been distributed to all these homes. When asked about the outcome, he mentioned receiving eight phone calls, four of which sought further details. Huzooraa Continued on page 3

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, In His Own Words
Emotion, weeping and lamentation Such people deem that the satisfaction and comfort of the soul lies in shedding a few tears and letting out a few cries.

This demonstrates that mere weeping and crying also, in itself, has no value. I have heard that during the reign of the Chughtai Kings, there were people who would wager on the fact that they would certainly make their audience cry or laugh.
