On 8 May possibly 2022, the Globe Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Neighborhood, the Fifth Khalifa (Caliph), His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad held a digital on the net meeting with feminine users of the Waqf-e-Nau Scheme aged in between 12 and 15 from the Uk.

His Holiness presided the assembly from MTA Studios in Islamabad, Tilford, even though the Waqf-e-Nau collected at the Baitul Futuh Mosque in Morden.

Adhering to a official session starting with recitation of the Holy Quran, the attendees had the option to ask His Holiness a series of queries concerning their faith and modern day troubles.

Just one of the Waqf-e-Nau women asked His Holiness how she should really reply to those who mock the Hijab.

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad mentioned:

“If you are identified, if you are sturdy and staunch in your faith, then you should not bother what the other people today say. It is the commandment of Allah the Almighty that a (Muslim) woman should observe the Hijab… So, if persons mock us then never treatment [about them]. Convey to them, this is my personal alternative, my private watch and I have a proper to do what ever I like. [Inform them that] this is my own liking and I am accomplishing it since of my religious teachings, mainly because of the commandment of the Shariah and the Holy Quran which has been supplied by Allah the Almighty in the Holy Quran. So, if you are a determined and strong Ahmadi Muslim, then you will by no means worry regardless of what the people today say. Further more, you can tell them that they engage in conduct which they take into consideration to be ethical, but according to your spiritual teachings are immoral. And, so if you never object to their routines then who are they to question that why do you don the Hijab?”

1 of the women questioned His Holiness what will happen if Ahmadi Muslims fall short to fulfil their duties in bringing about the non secular and moral revolution that the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) arrived to create.

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad mentioned:

“Of class, if we do not fulfil our responsibilities then the Promised Messiah (peace be on him) has explained that Allah the Almighty will provide other peoples as He is sure to fulfil the guarantees He has produced with the Promised Messiah (peace be on him). Those people peoples will most absolutely be Ahmadi Muslims far too and they will imagine in the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) so that they can have his mission ahead. So, if we do not perform our purpose in fulfilling the mission of the Promised Messiah (peace be on him) then Allah will do so by means of other people. There are a lot of Ahmadi Muslims in Africa who are quite honest and pious. They realize their tasks. They preach to persons and some others are converting by way of them. Likewise, there are this sort of people today in Europe as properly and in a lot of island nations and in Indonesia and the Considerably East and in other nations around the world. So, this is not a endeavor basically for the Pakistani and Indian people.”

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad further more stated:

“The Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived for the entire world and so too has his Messiah (peace be upon him) occur for all folks. We have to acquire the concept of Islam to all people about the entire world. We will have to try to bring the full of mankind underneath the banner of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be on him) and we will have to provide the information of the Unity of God to all peoples and nations. So, this is our fantastic activity.”

His Holiness outlined that the Promised Messiah (peace be on him) was sent by Allah the Almighty so people today may possibly fulfil their tasks they owe to Allah and His development. If today’s Ahmadi Muslims turned immersed in worldliness and forgo their tasks to their faith, then Allah the Almighty will increase some others who shall reach this goal.

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad mentioned:

“Allah the Almighty has mentioned (in a revelation to the Promised Messiah [peace be upon him]) that, ‘I shall trigger thy message to arrive at the corners of the earth’ and Allah is fulfilling His word. He is boosting such people today who arrive to the fore without having our prior information and they go on to acquire the information forward. Hence, if we participate in this process of Allah the Almighty, of getting the message of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Local community to other individuals, then we shall experience His blessings. If we fall short to participate in our part then Allah will most absolutely guarantee that this process will come to fruition via other persons.”   

A dilemma also connected to how ladies in their teenagers need to convey the teachings of true Islam.

In reaction, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad stated:

“You should really manifest the most exceptional morals. Talk about the beauties of your religion with your close friends. It is not right to tell people today that they need to become Muslim – no 1 will grow to be a Muslim that way. As a substitute, people today will grow to be provoked and agitated. So somewhat, you really should show the maximum of morals and handle your pals well and behave very well in direction of your lecturers and excel in your reports. That way you will be well regarded in your school. The instructors and the students will then want to know about you and so you can tell them at that stage. You might occasionally even have an chance to communicate in your faculty assembly about Islam or have other opportunities to do so when you get questioned to converse about yourself. In these types of situations, there are a lot of small children who go on to make clear the teachings of Islam and they mention that they are Muslim and that they are Ahmadi Muslims and they demonstrate what their targets are as Ahmadi Muslims. So, this little by little opens up avenues for conveying our information to others. When Allah so wishes, the persons whose hearts He needs to open up [towards Islam], He shall do so. We are not able to pressure any person to grow to be Muslim. Nonetheless, what we can do is show the teachings of Islam through our very own life and so when we display excellent morals, individuals by themselves will grow to be captivated to us.”

An additional attendee asked His Holiness’s suggestions for individuals youngsters suffering from mental health and fitness troubles this sort of as despair.

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad stated:

“First you need to discover out the fundamental trigger [for their mental health problems]. Individuals struggling should really be taken to a psychiatrist by their relations and they should be addressed correctly and whole initiatives should be created to rid them of their ache.”

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad continued:

“Furthermore, see what time of the working day their suffering is most acute. If it is in the early morning at 10 or 11 then they need to go out for a stroll at that time to get some contemporary air. Secondly, they need to pray to Allah the Almighty and they must try to build their will-electricity and perseverance. They need to pray that Allah the Almighty brings them out of this stage. So, medical care ought to be adopted and they must also pray… Psychological wellness troubles such as despair are an sickness like any other and so they must be diagnosed and treated effectively. No 1 should really make enjoyable of these struggling or acquire it flippantly. Seek out repentance from Allah and do your 5 day-to-day prayers. Then, Allah eliminates these issues.”     

One more lady questioned His Holiness for suggestions on how to conserve oneself from the negative use of social media.

His Holiness asked her if she was informed of the adverse and good features of social media, to which she replied that she was.

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad replied:

“If you know the destructive use of social media, then you should really keep away from these kinds of usage. It is a issue of temptation. A man or woman is very easily tempted, whereby they open up a hyperlink and they grow to be interested and then they open up up one more website link and then one more and so forth. The consumer does not assume of the unfavorable impact it is having on them. So, the initial time that you see one thing on social media that can perhaps have a adverse impact on you or many others, immediately shut it down. Instead, check out those people internet sites which improve your understanding. For example, look at scientific or instructional programmes and documentaries and study remarks and posts by experts and lecturers. Also, check out the sites and web pages of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Local community relatively than browsing unsafe internet sites and articles.
