Mr.Mahmood Ahmad (Ameer)
3 days Annual Convention of the AMAA was held in Sydney
Jalsa Salana (Annual Convention) 2011 of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Australia was held on 22nd - 24th April 2011 at Baitul Huda Mosque Sydney, Australia. It was the 27th Jalsa Salana. According to the Media Release “The major aim of the gathering was that the sincere members of the Jama’at should be able to derive religious benefits and at the same time they should acquire more knowledge and advance in their God realisation. One advantage is that meeting their friends will broaden their circle of brotherhood and it will strengthen the mutual ties.”
Guests from Inter-State, including ACT, QLD, VIC, SA and WA started coming to the Bait-Ul-Huda Mosque on Thursday, the 21st of April 2010, a day prior to the commencement of the Jalsa. On this day, after Maghrib/Isha prayers, all the workers (around 250) of the Jalsa Salana gathered in the Mosque to listen to Ameer and Missionary In charge of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Australia, Maulana Mahmood Ahmad give advice to the members.
The brief session began at 7:50 pm with the recitation and translation of the Holy Quran by Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman Sanauri. Mahmood Ahmad Ameer Sahib started his speech by highlighting that this Jalsa is the blessing of the Allah and is not an ordinary gathering. He advised that all workers serve the guests with open hearts and smiles on their faces. One should feel happiness and satisfaction after serving the guests. He pointed out that the purpose of the Jalsa is to worship and remember Allah. Prayers should be offered 5 times a day in congregation with minimum as possible workers left on duty during prayers if needed.
Mahmood Ahmad Ameer Sahib continued to advise that all muawins should cooperate with nazims and work as a team. The guests should also cooperate with the workers and overlook mistakes. Mahmood Ahmad Ameer Sahib further advised that everyone should keep an eye out in the surroundings for security reasons. If anyone or anything is seen that is not familiar, one should notify the head of security and should never panic. However, overall dua (prayer) is necessary as Allah is the best Protector. Mahmood Ahmad Ameer Sahib ended his talk with silent prayers at 8:10 pm.
