The 48th Jalsa Salana of the UK chapter of the worldwide Ahmadiya Muslim Community is taking place in Hampshire
The Khalifa of Islam and the World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad delivered an annual report of the global activities and progress of the community. His Holiness delivered the report during the second day of the 48th Jalsa Salana (Annual Convention) taking place at Hadeeqatul Mahdi in Hampshire.
During his report, His Holiness announced that more than 550,000 people had joined the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community during the past year.
He also announced that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was now established in 206 countries or distinct geographic units of the world and that during the past year Ahmadi Muslim communities had been established in Belize and Uruguay for the very first time.
Hazrat Ahmad further announced that during the past year the community had completed the translation of the Holy Quran into the Maori language and thus the Community had now translated the entire Quran into 72 languages.
The annual report was the fourth address given by Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad at this year’s Jalsa Salana.
On Friday, Hazrat Ahmad delivered his weekly Sermon and then later delivered the inaugural address of this year’s Jalsa during which he spoke about the true and pure character of the Holy Founder of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad.
Hazrat Ahmad said the Holy Quran has deemed the Holy Prophet Muhammad as the ‘mercy for mankind’ whose mercy and compassion was not limited to Muslims but encompasses every person, in every place, in every time.
"Thus," Hazrat Ahmad said, "the mission of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is to spread the mercy and compassion of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the corners of the world.”
During the Jalsa Salana, His Holiness also raised the Flag of Ahmadiyyat Islam, whilst Rafiq Hayat, the National President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in the United Kingdom, raised the Union Jack.
The Convention is scheduled to conclude on Sunday afternoon with an address by Hazrat Ahmad. Various other speakers will also take to the stage.
Also on Sunday, an estimated 30,000 Ahmadi Muslims will pledge allegiance to the Khalifa (Caliph) in a ceremony known as "International ‘Bai’at’ ".
Millions of Ahmadi Muslims around the world will also take part in the ceremony whilst watching live on MTA International.
