MESSAGE FROM of the Holy Prophetsa and his
examples and take advantage of its
ever tasteful fruit.
THE The voice of Hadhrat Khalifatul
Masih IVra still rings in my ears
PRINCIPAL today, when, while drawing
attention towards bringing
about a change according to the
example of the Holy Prophetsa
and establishing it in others as
well, he said:
“Every person who establishes a
righteous change within another
holds the rank of a seal; he
establishes his seal upon others…
Hence from this standpoint, take
care of your children and make
them into little ‘attesters’ who
hold the power of establishing
the great qualities of the Holy
Prophetsa within others. If a seal is conspiracies while showing the beauty from the

Fahd Peerzada (4th year) my friends who have grown to become my brothers and the memories I have had with them will be cherished with me
forever. Also, I can say that Jamia has also helped me develop a relationship with God the Almighty, Huzoor (may Allah
be his Helper) and enhanced my knowledge of the religion I love dearly. Jamia has also taught me more about myself
and skills that will Insha’Allah benefit me in the field as a missionary and in service of the Jama’at.
Although it has been a rollercoaster ride, I cannot deny it has also been a good learning experience. However, I am only
in my fourth year right now and the journey still remains and I have much more to learn and Jamia is preparing me
daily for the long road that is ahead of me. I pray that God keeps me on the path on which he has bestowed his blessings
and helps me in every step of my journey.

to be destroyed while you remain present in it.”
The truth is that today, the opponents of Islam
are waging impure and dirty attacks upon the
Leader of Messengerssa so that they may (and
we seek refuge from this) lessen his status in
the world and prove his religion to be false. In
light of this our responsibilities grow in order to
protect the honour of the Holy Prophetsa.
While directing our attention towards this very
matter, our beloved Imam Hadhrat Khalifatul
Masih Vaa said:
“When an Ahmadi expresses his displeasure,
grief and anger at these obscene words, he also
draws the attention of those very people along
with the influencers of his nation to abstain
from uttering such obscene words and this is
something which he should draw attention
towards. From a worldly standpoint, an Ahmadi
does his part in helping the world recognize
and understand the truth in refutation to such
life of the Holy Prophetsa. He exemplifies the
pristine example of the Holy Prophetsa in his
every action and pays attention towards sending
praise and salutations upon him more so than
before. Every man, woman, elder and child must
fill the environment and atmosphere around
them with salutations. They make their actions
an embodiment of Islamic teachings. This is the
beautiful reaction which we must show.” (Al-
Fazl International, October 12, 2012)
He further stated:
In such a time when there is a storm of
disrespect brewing against the Holy Prophetsa,
surely the Angels of Allah the Almighty are
sending salutations upon him. It is also our job,
those of us who have associated ourselves with
the cause and community of the true lover of the
Holy Prophetsa and the Imam of this age, that we
laden our prayers with salutations and with a
true heart spread salutations in the atmosphere
to such an extent that its every particle becomes
fragranced by it; and our prayers reach the point
of acceptance in the court of the Almighty God
