Respected Lajna Sisters,

Assalam o Alaikum wa Rahmatullah e wa Barakatahu

By the grace of Allah almighty we are launching lajna Ima’aillah Finland’s first website today. The website team has completed this first version in 2 months without any previous experience regarding this. The purpose of the website is to provide you the information about lajna Ima’aillah Finland’s activities, events, publications, materials and other related matter. The content and material will be continuously updated, so keep visiting the website and get benefit from it.

I would also like to remind ourselves the purpose of establishing Lajna Ima’illah, ~100 years ago in 1922 by Hazrat Musleh Maood^ra. He^ra said that,

“Women should strive together to enhance their knowledge and spread the knowledge they have attained to others.”

Khutbat e Mahmood

We should always be mindful of this purpose in our daily lives as well as while performing our duties. Our beloved Imam Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (May Allah be his Helper) reminds us about how we should celebrate the 100 years. Huzur (May Allah be his Helper) says:

“What truly matters is that upon the fulfilment of 100 years (of Lajna Ima’illah), every single member of Lajna and Nasirat should be fully involved in the affairs of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and should be acting upon its teachings. Every single one of them should be regular in the worship of Allah and in reciting and acting upon the Holy Qur’an. Every member should have the strongest possible bond with the jama’at. These are the fundamental objectives.

In regards to donating money or building a mosque or any other work is something that you all are regularly doing anyway. However, what is of utmost importance is that upon the completion of 100 years (Lajna Ima’illah), no person should be able to raise their finger and say that though 100 years have been completed and they are celebrating their centenary, however only 75% of their members are actually involved in their activities or 50 % of their members are involved in their activities. And that the rest of the members do not dress modestly even though the Holy Qur’an has instructed to dress modestly; or, that the Holy Qur’an has instructed to observe parda (veil), however they fail to properly observe it; or, it is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an that one should fulfil the rights of Allah, however many of it’s members fail to do so; similarly, it is the commandment of Allah to fulfil the rights of mankind, however there are many among them who fail to fulfil those rights.

Therefore if majority or even 50% are not fully adhering to the fundamental teachings of Islam then there will be no benefit in commemorating the centenary. So, it is important that along with completion of a 100 years of Lajna Ima’illah, you should ascertain how strong the faith is of your members. You should make a scheme for this as well.”

Virtual meeting with national majlis e amila Germany on 27th March 2021.

May Allah enable us all to understand and fulfil our responsibilities. May Allah bless you all to do so.

Wassalam,
