The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community United States was founded in 1921 by Hadhrat Mufti Muhammad SadiqRA. The first Jalsa Salana United States was held in 1948 in
Dayton, Ohio. Since then, the community has grown and so has its annual conven-
tion, or Jalsa Salana.

Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih VABA’s Friday Sermon Summary
expected that each and every participant of Jalsa shall
attain this high standard of Taqwa in his or her life and expressed his intense dislike towards those participants who did not take any measures to attain this standard of
Taqwa. Thus, these conventions are a source of great blessings, and for a true Ahmadi, these should also instill a sense of fear, such that Allah Almighty has provided him
yet again with an opportunity to gain nearness to Him, to revive his faith, to amass the blessings associated with this auspicious occasion. However, these blessings can only be
attained by continuous efforts in progress in Taqwa lest he should slip downwards. If an Ahmadi truly understands the blessings of Jalsa and then makes every effort to re-ceive these blessings, and accumulates the transfor-
mations that each annual convention bring about in him, then he will progress towards a new standard in Taqwa each year, which will eventually lead him to the point
where the Promised MessiahAS wished to see us. Thus, we must focus towards that desire of the Promised MessiahAS that he held in his heart, which he
expressed in these words: Pay attention towards your afterlife, rather than focusing on this world. He empha-sized that one must inculcate Taqwa in his heart. What is
Taqwa? Taqwa means that one must fulfil the obligations and duties towards Allah Almighty and towards his fellow human beings with a fear of His displeasure in one’s heart
if these duties are not properly discharged. Among the duties and obligations towards Allah Almighty, the first and foremost is His worship, and among the acts of wor-
ship, the first and foremost is the performance of Salat. The Holy ProphetSAW says that salat is the essence of worship. HuzoorABA said that he had elaborated on the
importance of Salat in his previous Friday sermon. Thus, those who did not listen to that sermon, should listen to it and set their minimal standards of worship accordingly.
HuzoorABA said that participants in this Jalsa should pay special attention to the offering of Salat, more specifically to offering Salat in congregation. During these days of Jalsa, pray to Allah Almighty that He may enable everyone
to implement regular offering of Salat in their lives in the most excellent manner. HuzoorABA wished to elaborate that for the convenience of those who travel a fair dis-
tance to arrive at Jalsa, the salat are combined and this is
Friday Sermon: Achieving God Consciousness the Purpose of Jalsa Salana
Delivered by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA, the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
on June 29, 2012
Friday Sermon was delivered by Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V, Mirza Masroor AhmadABA at the occasion of
Jalsa Salana USA 2012. After the recitation of Surah Al Fatihah, HuzoorABA began the sermon by praising Allah Almighty at the inauguration of Jalsa Salana USA and his participation for the second time at the Jalsa Salana in USA. HuzoorABA said that the annual conventions held in different countries around the world
were initially inaugurated by the Promised MessiahAS. The purpose of these conventions is that the partici-pants gain the blessings that will lead them to a better life in this world and in the Hereafter. These bless-ings can only be reaped by attaining a truly high standard of Taqwa in our lives. The Promised MessiahAS
allowed by Shariah. However, in your homes, there is no
excuse to offer combined salat. In some households, it appears that salat is being combined on a regular basis be-cause when the children are asked how many times they
offer salat at home, their response is three as opposed to five. The Holy Quran has made five salat compulsory. The Holy ProphetSAW explained the timings of the five salat and
taught us how to offer these five salat as well. The Prom-ised MessiahAS has diverted our attention towards this im-portant commandment repeatedly, and HuzoorABA elabo-
rated on this in his previous sermon. HuzoorABA said that the five salat are the fundamental requirement. We should also inculcate a habit of offering nawafil. Many of us will offer tahajjud prayers during the days of Jalsa, however we
should make every effort to continue these efforts even after Jalsa is over. The weaknesses in our obligatory acts of worship are strengthened with the performance of nawafil
prayers, and Tahajjud constitutes a major part of nawafil prayers. The Promised MessiahAS has drawn our attention towards the offering of Tahajjud frequently. He says that
members of this Jamaat should revive the tradition of of-fering Tahajjud in their lives. If not more, offer only two rakats, so that one may obtain the opportunity to suppli-
cate. The supplications offered at the time of Tahajjud have a special significance, because they are offered with a true zeal and passion of the heart. He said that unless and until
an intense emotion and fervor is inculcated in the supplica-tion, one will not be able to leave the warmth of his bed. This intensity in supplication will demonstrate that an indi-
vidual is willing to sacrifice his sleep to seek the pleasure of Allah Almighty. Thus, waking up at this time itself arouses an emotion in the heart which in turn gives rise to an in-
tensity and zeal in supplication. And this energy becomes the reason for acceptance of that supplication. Thus the act of waking up to offer these nawafil prayers will in itself
bring about a revolutionary change in the individual’s life. In today’s world, people have different priorities, due to which they go to bed late at night. Tahajjud is in reality a great way to re-evaluate one’s spiritual condition and bring
about a positive change in the spiritual condition of an indi-
