Friday Sermon May 25th, 2012
Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih delivered his Friday sermon
from Bait us Sabuh, Frankfurt, Germany
He quoted from writings of
the Promised Messiah (on
whom be peace) in which he
gave thanks to God for
giving him a community of
selfless and sincere people
who were ever willing and
ready to comply with
anything he asked of them.
Friday Sermon May 25th, 2012
The Promised Messiah ( on
whom be peace) wrote
that the matchless sincerity
and obedience of the
Companions of the Holy
Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allah be on
him) meant that they not
only endured all kinds of
pain for him but also did
not hesitate to give their
lives and this is what
ultimately made them
successful.
The Promised
Messiah (on whom
be peace) wrote in
his book ‘Haqiqat-ulWahi’ that God had
foretold him and it is
recorded in ‘Braheen
Ahmadiyya’ that God
would put his love in
the hearts of people.
Hudhur ( aba) read out an example of
devotion to the Promised Messiah ( on
whom be peace) in a quotation of one of his
companions who prayed
‘that on the Day of Judgement I am included
in the blessed Jama’at under your auspices
as I am now. God knows that the love this
humble person feels for you is such that I
would sacrifice all my property and life for
you. I am devoted to you with a thousand
lives... May God bring about my ending in
your love and obedience.’
Friday Sermon May 25th, 2012
Next Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih recounted
accounts of some companions of the Promised
Messiah (on whom be peace) who excelled in
their sincerity, devotion and obedience
These accounts are a model for
all of us; such devotion also
becomes a source of
enhancement of Taqwa.
Every single account has a
profound lesson for us in the
cheerfulness with which the
companions offered complete
obedience.

Friday Sermon May 25th, 2012
Martyrs of Ahmadiyyat
May God elevate the status of the
shaheed and may He make the
enemies a cautionary sign while
manifesting clear signs in favour of
Ahmadiyyat.
It should always be remembered that
unless prayers are made and signs are
sought from God in such situations, the
signs that God has promised do not
appear.
