Hudhur said that in his sermon of last Friday which was delivered in Berlin, Germany, Hudhur mentioned the Divine blessings of Jalsa which Hudhur saw and felt at Jalsa as well as the blessings Hudhur experienced during other programmes organised by the German Jama’at. Many new aspects of these blessings were observed and new avenues of introduction of the Jama’at were opened which the Jama’at should fully avail of.

During the travel to Germany, Hudhur had stopped overnight at Belgium whereas on the way back Hudhur had stopped over at Holland and observed many blessings in both these places. A meeting with Hudhur was arranged for sixty to seventy people in Belgium. Some among them were close to the Jama’at, God opened their hearts and they were granted persuasion of hearts and minds and were thus enabled to take Bai’at. Hudhur told them that the Promised Messiah’s (on whom be peace) advent took place among the latter-ones to take forward the task of his master, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) who had indeed made the ignorant, who at times stooped to barbarism, recognise true human values and he took them close to God. These people attained high spiritual levels and were so connected to God that worldly matters lost their significance for them and later the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) came in accordance with Quranic prophecy. Someone in the gathering, who Hudhur assumed was an Ahmadi sought permission to speak. In a very emotional way he told Hudhur that having listened to him that today it is also the task of the followers of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) to turn others into godly people, he pledged that he would reform himself as well as be a helper in spreading the true teaching of Islam in the world. He then announced that he wished to enter into the fold of Ahmadiyyat and requested that his Bai’at was taken so that he could be included in great helpers of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). Hudhur said seven or eight others joined him in taking Bai’at. Vakeelul Tabshir, Majid sahib is writing a detailed report on Hudhur’s European travel which will be printed in Al Fazl. Hudhur added that all those who took Bai’at were extremely emotional and said they would do whatever was needed of them and they would take to others what they had received. With the grace of God there is great enthusiasm and keenness among them.

Hudhur said Jalsa Salana has also taken place in Belgium and with the grace of God, Belgium is also progressing in Bai’ats, community relations and in taking the message of Ahmadiyyat to others. Indeed, all these avenues are being opened by God and expression of true gratitude for every Jama’at is in taking full advantage of these new avenues; look after the new-comers and draw attention to their own improvement.

On the travels back from Germany Hudhur stopped at Holland. Today the Jalsa Salana of Holland begins; may it be blessed in every way and may the people there also greatly progress in Tabligh and Tarbiyyat matters. As voices against Islam are raised time and again in Holland, they need to work extremely hard as well as pray. The Jama’at as well as the auxiliaries should make programmes to present the teachings of Islam to others. Hudhur met Arabic-speaking new Ahmadis as well as those who are close to the Jama’at. One person among them took Bai’at. God has indeed started favourable winds in our direction. It is our duty to put in complete efforts to take advantage of these blessings.

The emotional condition of the new Ahmadis is ineffable. Such blessings are being bestowed by God on the Jama’at that they are evident even during short visits. The revolutionary changes appear to come about in minutes. Hudhur explained that these people come to meet Hudhur, they speak with him and return with a new passion and vigour, bringing forth a fresh aspect of the revelation of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace): ‘People whom We will direct from heaven will help you.’ [Tadhkirah, p. 442]. Hudhur explained that majority of the new Ahmadis are those who were granted the passion to search for the truth by God. The proverbial mullah can try his best but it is God Who is purifying hearts and inclining them to Ahmadiyyat and these people do not show weakness out of fear of the world.
