Recitation of the Holy Quran

O ye who believe! be helpers of Allah, as said Jesus, son of Mary, to his disciples, ‘Who are my helpers in the cause of Allah.’ The disciples said, ‘We are helpers of Allah.’ So, a party of the children of Israel believed, while a party disbelieved. Then We gave power to those who believed against their enemy, and they became victorious (61:15)

10 of 26

Discussion Scenario

A Za’im approached a Nasir about Ansar Chanda. The Nasir seemed visibly upset. He had just finished talking to Jama’at finance secretary. He said there is no mention of Ansar Chanda in the Holy Quran or Ahadith. Why does the Jama’at need my $100. If the Jama’at is from Allah, why do you keep asking for Chanda? Allah can support it.

11 of 26

Discussion

  • Why was the Nasir upset?
  • Does the Nasir have a point? Allah the Almighty is all powerful and can provide victory to Jama’at without our help?
  • How can one be called a true Nasir?

Nahno Anasrullah

  • “On one occasion the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) said that when the prophets (peace be upon them) asked ‘Who is it that will help me in taking people towards Allah the Almighty?’ it was because it is the law of nature that to complete grand and important tasks there is the need of helpers. Such great tasks cannot be completed by just one person. Moreover, even though the Prophets manifested the highest standards of reliance and trust upon God, according to this law of nature they still also called upon helpers.”
  • “Therefore, you who call yourselves ‘Ansarullah’ (The helpers of God) must always keep this at the forefront of your mind that you can only truly be called ‘Ansarullah’ when you answer the call of the Imam of this Age, the appointed one of God, the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, and are not just Ansarullah by name. Rather, be those who sincerely raise slogans that ‘we are the helpers of Allah’, whilst understanding this spirit as well.”

Based on Huzoor’s address in the final session of UK Ansarullah Ijtima, 9/12/21

Domestic responsibility Segment

‘Every man and woman should make an effort in their prayers and in their practices to bring about positive changes in themselves and become true models of those who take bai’at. This is so that they can be counted amongst those people who are not only concerned about their own good practices but are also concerned about the welfare of their next generation for which Allah the Exalted has taught us in the prayer: ‘Our Lord, grant us of our spouses and children the delight of our eyes and make each of us a leader of the righteous.’

(25:75) 6/25/11 Address to ladies, Jalsa Germany

Salat Page

“In reality, Salat is but a name for plunging into a fire, and after plunging into a fire of Divine love and fear of Allah, to burn one’s being and burn everything except Allah; and it is but a name for such a state wherein God, and only God remains in sight; and man progresses to such a state wherein he speaks when God wishes, and walks when God wishes; the whole of his moving or remaining still, his performing an action or abandoning an action begins to conform to Allah’s will and the ego is annihilated.” (Malfuzat, Vol.10, pp.314)
