There are blessings in unity Khuddam from USA’s South-West Region meet Huzoor Islamabad, Tilford, UK, 12 January 2025: A group of 22 khuddam from the South-West Region of the USA were graciously granted an in-person mulaqat with Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vaa, at Islamabad, UK.
Introductions Hazrat Amirul Momineenaa greeted the khuddam and first addressed the amire-qafila, who introduced the group as khuddam from the USA’s South-West Region, which included 20 khuddam from Los Angeles. Upon learning that the majority of the khuddam are from Los Angeles, Huzooraa enquired about the ongoing fire in Los Angeles and asked whether their homes were safe. The amir-e-qafila assured Huzooraa that, by the grace of Allah, their houses were safe. Following this, Huzooraa interacted individually with each khadim, enquiring about their family backgrounds, studies, and careers, etc. During these personal exchanges, Huzooraa again asked about the impact of the fire in Los Angeles and enquired about the location of the mosque in relation to the affected areas. The khuddam then sought Huzoor’saa permission to ask questions, which he graciously granted.
Maintaining patience amidst false allegations against Jamaat A khadim asked about how to remain patient and maintain dignity when hearing
false allegations against the Jamaat. Huzooraa highlighted that allegations against Divine communities are historically inevitable. He underscored the importance of knowledge-based responses and patient endurance, and reminded the khuddam that controlling anger reflects true bravery. Huzooraa explained that the lives of the Prophets, as detailed in the Holy Quran, consistently illustrate that false accusations were a common practice among their opponents. Every Prophet mentioned in the Holy Quran, including the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa, faced baseless allegations. For instance, some accused the Holy Prophetsa of being a magician, while others labelled him an imposter, questioning the new traditions he introduced, which their forefathers had not practised. These accusations were evidence of their opposition’s longstanding behaviour. Huzooraa then said: “So, if they level allegations against us, this is proof of our truthfulness, and the Promised Messiahas has said that the allegations that were raised against all other Prophets were also being levelled against him. He stated that this is significant proof of the fact that he is truthful and that he has been sent by Allah the Almighty. If the Promised Messiahas had been an imposter, he didn’t need allegations to be levelled against him to prove it; Allah the Almighty would have caused him to perish because Allah the Almighty states that He causes those people to perish who forge lies against Him. [Surah al-Haqqah, Ch.69: V.45-48] “As far as your sentiments being

Hazrat Abu Hurairahra narrated that Allah’s Messengersa said: “The example of a believer is like a tender crop: when the wind blows, it causes its leaves to bend, and when the wind settles, it stands upright once again. Similarly, the believer bends under adversity but then recovers. As for the disbeliever, his example is like a sturdy pine tree that remains rigid and upright, until Allah wills to break it.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-tawhid, Bab fi l-mashi’ati wa l-iradah, Hadith 7466)

Weeping and crying wounded is concerned, remember that the sentiments of the followers of other Prophets were also wounded but they endured it. They used to get angry but they would control themselves. The Holy Prophetsa instructed them to be patient. He further said, as reported in a hadith, that it is not a sign of great bravery if one is able to fight someone, Continued on page 4
The milk of God’s bounty and grace also requires tears. Hence, one ought to pre- sent tearful eyes before Him. Those who suggest that there is no use in crying and weeping before God Almighty are false and incorrect in their view. Such people do not believe in the Being of Allah Almighty, and in His attributes of power and control. If Continued on page 3
