It is our responsibility to refrain from falsehood as we call ourselves Ahmadi Muslims – Naib Sadr SS

THE 39TH ANNUAL ZONAL IJTEMA’A OF THE MANKESSIM ZONE

Mankessim Zone held their 39th Zonal Annual Ijtema’a on the 6th of June 2021 at the Ankamu Central Mosque in the Ankamu Circuit on the theme “THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF AN AHMADI MUSLIM; THE ROLE OF KHADDIM”. The Rally was in two sections. The first section comprises academic competitions and the second section was the main Sitting of the function.

Various competitions such as Quiz, Qur’an Recitation, Qur’an Memorization, Extempore and Message Delivery were undertaken during the rally. All Circuit were able to present their candidate for the competition.

The second section was chaired by the Sadr of Majlis Khuddam-ul Ahmadiyya Ghana (MKAGH) in person of Mr. Nasir Ahmad Bonsu. Also, present were the Zonal Missionary, Maulvi Hafiz Abdul Nasir Bhatti, Mr. Mustapha Amissah, Muhtamim Waqar Amal, Mr. Musah Kofi Amissah, the Naib Sadr, MKAGH Southern Sector,

The section was commenced by recitation from the Holy Qur’an by Master Abdul Majeed Ibrahim from the Ankamu Circuit. Master Mohammed Acheampong form the Essarkyir Circuit also recited an Arabic Poem. The Zonal Missionary delivered a short speech and offered the opening prayer.

In the welcome address of the Zonal Qaid, Mr. Jamil Rahman Nyame, the Zonal Qaid and his team toured all the 8 Circuits in the zone. Again, all the 31 Majalis in the zone have organized their rallies for the first time in the history of Mankessim Zone. The zone has also embarked on agriculture. The zone can boast of by planting coconut trees in the Kyeakor Circuit. The zone was also able to organize its Atfal Zonal Rally as well as Khuddam Zonal Rally. The zone has taking an initiative of give out credits (Airtime and Bundles) to the circuit qaideen to facilitate the sending of Salat Report of their members.

In spite of all these achievements, in respect to the salat report, the zone is still having problems when it comes to sending of salat report.

Sadr sahib made some comments after the rendition of the welcome address. In his comments, he emphasized on our attitude towards the sending of the salat report by members. He made some references from our Khuddam pledge as well as how the youth at the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw lay down their lives for the safety of their beloved leader. In our pledge, we pledged that “Moreover I shall deem it essential to abide by any Maroof decision made by the Khalifatul Masih”. He demands from us to offer our salat as well as to report on them accordingly, yet we are not abiding by his decision.

From the speech of the Guest Speaker, Mr. Musah Kofi Amissah, Naib Sadr (MKAGH) Southern Sector, the responsibilities of Ahmadi Muslims were enlightened. He made references from the book titled THE TEN CONDITIONS OF BAI’AT by the Khalifatul Masih V, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmadatba.

From the first condition, “The initiate shall solemnly promise that he/she shall abstain from shirk”. He said the previous speakers have already dwell on this condition. He also said, in this condition, worshipping of another being constitute shirk but also our very own behavior that goes contrary to the teachings of Allah. For instance, the Champions League finals coincides with the Isha prayers. How many of us here offered his Isha prayer before watching the match? If we did otherwise, it also constitute shirk.

From the second condition, “That he/she shall keep away from falsehood, fornication/adultery, trespasses of the eye, debauchery, dissipation, cruelty, dishonesty, mischief and rebellion; and that he/she will not permit himself/herself to be carried away by passions, however strong they might be”. It is our responsibility to refrain from falsehood as we call ourselves Ahmadi Muslims. In this generation we find ourselves in, fornication and adultery are very rampant. This is the time we the Ahmadis should show to the world by refraining ourselves from these activities.

“That he/she shall regularly offer the five daily Prayers in accordance with the commandments of God and the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa and shall try his/her best to be regular in offering the tahajjud and invoking durud on the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa. That he/she shall make it his/her daily routine to ask forgiveness for his/her sins, to remember the bounties of God and to praise and glorify Him”. From this condition, it should be our outmost behavior to offer our five daily prayer as well as to try our best to offer Tahajjud and invoke Durud on the Holy Prophetsaw. It is now our duty to offer our five daily prayers and report on it as it is demanded from us by our Khalifatul Masih V.

The ijtema’a recorded a total tajneed of One Hundred and Ninety (190) members which comprises 176 Khuddam, 6 Atfal, and 8 Ansarullah.
