The
subject which I have chosen to address you for my opening speech of
this (Mauritius) Jalsa Salana for the year 2019 is: The
benefits and blessings you derive when you attend the Jalsa Salana. When you come and participate in the Jalsa Salana which was first
instituted by the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), it
is a means to remind you that you need to reduce your love for this
world and increase your love for Islam, and whereby this will create
an extraordinary love for Allah in the hearts of all people who are
present, and it is also a reminder that this love needs to be
increased day by day till it becomes like a fire which burns in your
heart and in your whole body.
When
you participate in the Jalsa Salana [marking your presence in the
gathering and listening to the speeches etc.], you develop a taste
[feel] and an extraordinary love develops in you for the Holy Prophet
(pbuh) as well as for Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as). And when you mark
your presence in the Jalsa Salana in a continual way, you shall be
cut from all mundane influences and shall become wholly for Allah.
When you become for Allah (swt) only, when you prepare yourselves for
your life after death, this in fact also represents a [good]
preparation for you to leave behind all the pleasures of this world. When you participate in the Jalsa Salana and you listen to the
speeches, then your body [i.e. the congregation as one body] and your
soul shall be rid from all weakness and fatigue. Your physical body
and your soul will remain in a wakeful state and you will receive
such an extraordinary determination which transforms you into stable
and very talented people.
