With regards to the importance of Friday Service, the Holy Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that the best of the
days is Friday. Call down Allah's blessings upon me in abundance
on this day as this is presented to me on this day.
In the ahadith it is stated concerning the importance of Jumu'ah
that a brief moment arrives during Friday, where any prayer offered
by a momin ( righteous person) is accepted.

Importance of Friday service (Jumu'ah)
If we, during the sermon, or during our worship this day, focus upon reciting Durood, and call down
blessings of Allah upon the Holy
Prophet ( pbuh)
we should be doing it with
understanding and perception and knowledge and
praying that Allah may establish the faith brought to the world by the Holy Prophet ( pbuh)
...and make us among those who
partake in the rewards set aside for
those of the Holy Prophet's umma who carry out this effort.
One of the great objectives of our Jalsa is to ensure that the love of
God and Prophet envelops our heart.
When Holy Prophet ( pbuh) is presented this Durood and prayers, we are granted from
Prophet our own prayers.
When we convene today and pray in this manner, it will draw benevolence of God
towards us. We will partake of the blessings by acceptance of the prayer.
Conveying Durood upon Holy Prophet (SAW) through his love will
help us attain love for God.
During Friday Service, afterwards, and during the next 2 days, recite
Durood with great attention so that Allah, bestowing His Mercy upon
us, may turn back upon our enemies the evil of all their plans that
they have put together against us.
We can only
fulfill this
objective when
we convey
Durood Sharif
upon Holy
Prophet (pbuh)
from bottom of
our heart and
reform ourselves
accordingly.
When we recite Durood we pray that
Prophet's Grandeur is safeguarded and
enemies ploys are eliminated.

We witness the role model of Holy Prophet (pbuh). Holy
Prophet could not bear any difficulties encountered by the
believers.
We should instil that role model within ourselves.
"grievous to him is that you
should fall into trouble" (9:128)
God has told us to be kind, compassionate to one
another.
Allah has mentioned the state of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in the Holy
Quran:
The difficulties of one another should make us restless as per the
Role Model of Holy Prophet (pbuh).
In the blessed example that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) has laid
out before us, we see great examples of paying dues of
mankind.

Why are those
who believe in
Promised
Messiah (as) not
able to
comprehend the
difficulties of
others?
One year, the Promised Messiah (as) was very disappointed that his
foolowers were not nice to each other and he did not let Jalsa Salana
be held for a year.
Promised Messiah (as) expected brotherhood, love, compassion from
members of his Jama'at.
All friends solely for the purpose of progressing should come
to this Jalsa. These Jalsas are necessary for progressing
spiritually and excelling in faith. Great strides will have be
taken to ensure one attracts God's love.
One of the objectives of Jalsa is to increase in mutual unity.
This is only possible when one makes great sacrifices.
We should increase in mutual love
We should progress in our education with respect to faith.
All friends solely for the purpose of
progressing should come to this Jalsa.

Dr. Noori Sahib states that even
after heart attack a long time ago, he had a smile on his
face & would remember God. He would always pray
that
may Allah enable him to fulfill his duties that were given to him by
Khalifa of the time. He had great love for each and every
Khalifa. A true Ahmadi loves all
Khulafa.
His only purpose was to be dedicated
to Khilafat. May Allah continue to grant the Jama'at
such dedicated and loyal individuals.
He told one of them that you can be visited at any time by some
members of the Jama'at, so never show any form of
laziness or fatigue.
Many will try to recognize your weaknesses. Accept them.
If someone raises an objection at the
Jama'at or Khilafat, do not tolerate them at
all.
