Qadian: The 124th International Jalsa Salana Qadian commenced here in Qadian earlier today with the hoisting of the Ahmadiyya Flag “Liwae Ahmadiyyat” at 10 A.M. in Ahmadiyya Ground near Nangal Baghbana Qadian.
The flag was hoisted by Maulana Jalal Uddin Nayyar President Sadr Anjuman Ahmadiyya Qadian and the representative of the Khalifa of Islam, and the worldwide head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad.
As the flag was raised, Jalsa Salana participants raised slogans “Islam Zinadabad, Ahmadiyyat Zindabad” [Long live Islam, Long live Ahmadiyya]. After the flag hosting ceremony Maulana Jalal Uddin Nayyar President Sadr Anjuman Ahmadiyya Qadian led all present in silent prayer in which thousands of Ahmadis joined with him.
Maulana Jalal Uddin Nayyar addressed the Jalsa Salana participants reminding everyone that the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah, had several key objectives in mind when the institution of Jalsa Salana was started.
"The primary purpose of this convention is to enable every sincere individual to personally experience religious benefits," Maulana Nayyar said quoting the Promised Messiah. "They may enhance their knowledge and due to their being blessed and enabled by Allah. The Exalted their perception (Of Allah) may progress. Among its secondary benefits is that this congregational meeting together will promote mutual introduction among all brothers and it will strengthen the fraternal ties within this community.”
Maulana Nayyar advised the Jalsa Salana participants to remain engrossed in the remembrance of Allah, invocation of blessings of Allah on the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) and be regular and punctual in congregational five times prayers.
His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad will address this congregation on 28th December around 4 PM. There are thousands of Ahmadi Muslim women also participating the Jalsa Salana and special arrangements have been made for women to listen the Jalsa Salana proceeding on their convention grounds.
Big screens are installed to watch the Jalsa Salana live programs in the Ahmadiyya Ground.
Mr. Shoib Ahmad, Officer Jalsa Salana, said that, as always, Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat has made food and accommodations available to all Jalsa Salana participants at no charge.
