More than 550,000 People Join Ahmadiyya Muslim
Community in Past Year
48th Jalsa Salana UK taking place in Hampshire
Earlier today, the World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the Fifth Khalifa, His
Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad delivered an annual report of the global activities and
progress of the Ahmadiyya Muslim 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 of the world and that during the past year Ahmadi Muslim communities had been
established in Belize and Uruguay for the very first time.
His Holiness further announced that during the past year the Ahmadiyya Muslim 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.
Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said that the progress of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
was due to Help of Allah and indeed many people had been guided towards the truth of
Ahmadiyyat Islam by Allah the Almighty through dreams.
The annual report was the fourth address given by Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad at this year’s
Jalsa Salana.
On Friday, he 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 Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“The Quran has deemed the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as
the ‘mercy for mankind’ – and his mercy and compassion was not limited to
Muslims but encompasses every person, in every place, in every time.
Thus, 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
Mirza Masroor 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 ‘Bai’at’.
Millions of Ahmadi Muslims around the world will also take part in the ceremony whilst
watching live on MTA International.
