Khola Shah, Surrey There are few occasions in life where I have simply been stunned into silence. It is no surprise that these have all been times when I have seen His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, may Allah be his Helper, the current Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Be it as a young girl…

Ghazalah Munib, London As a six-year-old, I remember regularly attending classes organised for young Ahmadi girls, with the intention to provide a space for moral and social training. Here, a piece of lined paper would be handed to us, and we were asked to write a letter to His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad (may Allah…

*Huzoor is the term Ahmadi Muslims use to refer to His Holiness, the fifth Caliph/Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community* Bareera Ghaffar, Birmingham Strength. To have strength. I often drift through life on the side lines. Am I an afterthought, perhaps? This can be understood in terms of how the hierarchy of society is set…

Khansa Razzaq, Walsall When it comes to my love for Khilafat, I might not be very expressive about it, but I always try to show my love through implementing what my Khalifa, His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad (may Allah be his Helper) expects from me as an Ahmadi Muslim. I never claim to be perfect…

Kainat Hanif, London My relationship with His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad (may Allah be his Helper), the current Khalifa, spiritual leader of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Community, is quite a unique one – perhaps confusing for those who have not had the blessings to be in the presence of His Holiness. Despite having met him only…

Maham Asif, Blackburn The promise of the establishment of Khilafat in Islam is very distinctive and indisputable. Indeed, there is absolutely nothing as pure and sincere as the love that exists between Ahmadi Muslims and the Khalifa (Caliph). It is a type of love that transcends political and ethnic boundaries, and, in many respects, it…

Hania Arian, London Regardless of our faith, age, occupation, or geographical location, the Covid 19 pandemic has been a costly affair for us all; emotionally, physically and, for many, spiritually. Personally, one of the greatest losses I have experienced is that I have not had the opportunity to be in the physical presence of our…

Fezia Haq, London The beauty of Khilafat (Caliphate) is that one doesn’t have to be in close proximity to the Khalifa (Caliph) to reap its blessings. We can gain closeness to our Khalifa through correspondence, and these same blessings cross borders to reach us as a result. Although God Almighty has blessed me with being…
