What does our Khalifaatba

expect from us?

Listen regularly to Friday Sermons Observing proper Purdah Good role models as mothers, daughters

and wives Creating a heaven in our homes so that

message of peace spreads in our community

Maintaining a strong bond with Khilafat Be regular in prayers Sacrifice wealth, property, time & children

Complete Submission & Obedience

Unquestionable obedience of Khalifa in everything good

To be attached to rope of God, you have to be obedient to the God’s appointed leader

Hadiths on obedience

Understand & Follow Nizam-e-Jamaat

Believer should follow instructions of God & respect Nizam-e-Jamaat

Hold on to Nizam-e-Jamaat during interim period when a Khalifa passes & a new Khalifa is appointed

Believer should whole-heartedly accept decisions of Qaza committee

Learn to deal with problems through the appropriate channels

Do not spread discord

Tarbiyyat – Training ourselves & our children

All children should do Ba’ait of new Khalifa Teach children to dedicate their lives to

Ahmadiyyat & in return God blesses us Habit of saying daily prayers on time – especially

Fajr prayers at early age. Make children listen to Friday sermons regularly Keep children closely connected to Jamaat – bring

them to Jamaat events regularly Develop love of Jamaat in children’s heart & thus

love of Khilafat also Make an effort to do congregational prayers at

home

Tarbiyyat – Training ourselves & our children

Inculcate habit of reading Jamaat books in children

Hold family discussions at home on Quran/any Islamic topic – make it a special day every two weeks

Only under a good mother a child reach Paradise

Teach your children that Jamaat work & meetings should take priority over all other worldly affairs

Pass the sense of financial sacrifice in your children

Follow Nizam-e-Wasiyyat

Promised Messiahas said everyone should enroll in this scheme at an early age

Women should try to include their husbands and their children

Wasiyyat brings us closer to Khilafat & a step forward towards achieving Paradise

Wasiyyat & Khilafat are interdependent – Wasiyyat is a continuous struggle; Khilafat creates unity; both lead to Jannah

Be obedient to our Khalifaatba & say Labaik to his call

Do not think of yourself as unworthy!

Financial Sacrifices

Means of moral training. Do not lie about your incomes.

Huzuratba said that in this era one type of Jihad is through financial sacrifice

Have firm faith that God never wastes any good deed and any act done to attain His pleasure

Our future generations will be blessed in return for our financial sacrifices

Promoting Sisterhood Customs & languages differ but all bonded as

sisters in same religion Try to speak in a language we can all understand or

translate; use phrases in each others language Attending meetings, participating in activities will

make you feel being part of this sisterhood Greet everyone warmly on meetings Accepting and returning sisterly social invitations

that establish mutual respect and affection. Praying with and for your sisters that

misunderstandings and cultural differences be lovingly overcome

Our Role in Tabligh

Observe proper Purdah. Give proper answers to any questions

raised by colleagues/friends Handling yourself in such a manner that

there is a clear distinction between an Ahmadi women and other women

Always availing every opportunity to spread the knowledge about Ahmadiyyat & Islam
