On February 13, 2022, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih V (aba), held a virtual meeting with presidents of local chapters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK.
During the meeting, the local presidents sought Huzoor’s guidance on a range of issues. Advising them of the importance of kindness and compassion towards the inactive members of the community, Huzoor stated as follows:
You must deal with people sincerely as their friends. If someone does not come to the community activities or events, then do not go to them and tell them to come to the prayers or a gathering or to take part in financial sacrifice. Do not say anything of that nature to them. You should just call them and simply ask how they are. Gradually they will begin to come closer to you. Do not make any demands of them nor say anything of such sort to them. Only ask them how they are and find out about them. Or, if you are passing by their house and it is an appropriate time and they will not be disturbed, then pay them a visit and just say that you were passing by and thought to check in with them. If you keep a contact in this way, gradually people will become closer to you.
May Allah enable us to follow Huzoor’s blessed guidance and foster the sense of brotherhood amongst our members that is emblematic of divine communities. (Ameen).
