‘Pray to Allah Almighty that He strengthens you in your faith’: Students from Lajna Imaillah Italy meet Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Students from Lajna Imaillah Italy were blessed to meet with and seek guidance from Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih V, may Allah be his Helper, through a virtual mulaqat held on 18 December 2022. Before the mulaqat commenced, Huzooraa kindly asked if everyone was sitting comfortably and if the room was sufficiently heated. Huzooraa then invited Asifa Rehman Sahiba to recite a portion of the Holy Quran, followed by its English translation, presented by Nadia Sahiba. Hazrat Amirul Momineenaa then allowed the students to ask any questions they had. The first question was about whether one could see God, to which Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa replied that one was not able to see God physically, however, Allah has His own ways of guiding like instilling in the heart a Quranic verse for example. Huzooraa added, “In that form, I have experienced that it is from Allah Almighty; some verses of the Holy Quran […] that shows that it is from Allah Almighty. And, after that, they come true as well. So, it is definite that it is from Allah the Almighty.” Huzooraa asked Sadr Sahiba Lajna if all the participants were secondary-school students, to which she replied that there were a couple of university students and the rest were studying at different levels at school. Huzooraa also asked whether English was taught at schools in Italy. “They study in Italian, but English is also taught as a subject at schools. However, some of the participants are from Ghana, so they speak very good English,” Sadr Sahiba said. Huzooraa said, “Yes, as for Ghanaians, I know they are very well-versed in English.”

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, In His Own Words
Financial sacrifice must be for the sake of Allah alone
A student then said that often, girls were forbidden from using social media by parents etc., even though, she said, there was no such restriction placed on boys. She asked Huzooraa what could be done about this. Hazrat Khalifatul Masihaa answered that in his sermons, he had addressed everyone, not just girls, about the potential dangers of
social media. Huzooraa said, “Whether they boys or girls, I addressed everyone in sermon. I did not say that girls should go on Facebook, or that they should use WhatsApp or that they should not Twitter excessively. Rather, I warned
