Theme

• Last years theme Khilafat and Khulafa
• Several KCC years programs so far
• Now time for pondering over our responsibilities
  for continuation of this blessing
• Self analysis and Self reflection
• First and foremost step is obedience

Surah Al-Nur

• 52. The response of the believers, when they are
  called to Allah and His Messenger in order that
  they may judge between them, is only that they
  say We hear and we obey. And it is they who
  will prosper.
• 53. And whoso obeys Allah and His Messenger, and
  fear Allah, and takes Him as shield for
  protection, it is they who will be successful

4
Surah Al-Nur

• 54. And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths
  that, if thou command them, they surely go forth.
  Say, Swear not what is required is actual
  obedience in what is right. Surely, Allah is well
  aware of what you do.
• 55. Say, Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger.
  But if you turn away, then upon his is his
  burden, and upon you is your burden. And if you
  obey him, you will be rightly guided. And the
  messenger is not responsible but for the plain
  delivery of the message.
• 56. Allah has promised to those among you who
  believe and do good works that He will surely
  make them Successors in the earth as He made
  Successors from among those who were before
  them.

Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra

• If you do want to render baiat to me, then
  listen baiat means to be sold. Once Hazrat
  Sahib hinted to me not to think about the
  homeland after that all my honor and entire
  contemplation became affiliated with him and I
  never thought about the homeland. So offering
  baiat is a tough undertaking. One relinquishes
  his freedom and eminence. This is the reason
  Allah named His man abd servant/slave.
• Now, wherever your natures are inclined, you will
  have to obey my commands.
• Al-Hakm, Number7, Volume12, dated 6
  June 1908

Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih II ra

• And for the sake of Allah Almightys pleasure,
  obey me.
• Yes, I repeat and I repeat again that do not
  disobey me in Amar bil maroof injunction to
  good. If you act with obedience and loyalty and
  strengthen this pledge, then remember that Allah
  Almightys grace will support us and our combined
  prayers will succeed.
• I tell you again and I tell you gain and I tell
  you again Now that you have taken baiat and
  established an association with me after the
  Promised Messiah AS now in this association
  manifest a model of faithfulness.

Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V aba

• True faith cannot advance without a second
  manifestation. Therefore keep a link of love,
  sincerity and devotion with it, make your zeal
  for obedience to Khilafat everlasting. Develop
  the fervor of your love for it to such an extent
  that all other relationships appear trivial
  compared to it. All blessings are in loyalty to
  the Imam and this alone is a shield for you
  against all trouble and strife.

Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V aba

• So, if you aim to progress and be triumphant
  over the world, then my advice to you and my
  message for you is to maintain a bond with
  Khilafat and to firmly hold onto this cord of
  Allah. All our advancements are inherently
  dependant on a bond with Khilafat. May Allah help
  and support you and may He enable you to be
  inspired to a supreme sense of sincerity and
  devotion with the Khilafat e Ahmadiyya.
