Dear Sister…You’ve got mail!
To celebrate Lajna Ima’illah’s Centenary, Lajna UK has created 19 different postcards to help Lajna members to immerse themselves in their history. These postcards are semi-fictional. Whilst they are based upon real events, locations and time periods, the letters themselves were written by current Lajna members. We handed out these postcards during Jalsa Salana UK 2023, but we hope you enjoy this online version … Read More Dear Sister…You’ve got mail!

The Journey Onwards and Upwards
Arfa Yassir, Swindon There is a constant chant for rights of women and their empowerment on various platforms. For some the chant is just for the sake of it, and some genuinely believe empowerment can improve health, reduce poverty and inequality. Islam claims to empower women in the true sense, but the popular perception is otherwise. Many think Islam limits progress and opportunities for … Read More The Journey Onwards and Upwards

Ahmadiyyat: the Revival of Islam
Ayesha Naseem, Blackburn In the pre-Islamic society, women lived in atrocious conditions. It was the advent of Islam, the Holy Qur’an, and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) that ensured the fundamental rights of women and provided them with the honour and respect that they deserved in society. However, as the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be … Read More Ahmadiyyat: the Revival of Islam

Khilafat: Our Connection To God
Siddiqa Faisal, Hayes In the world of connectivity and information, we always want to be connected and be ‘online’, but the connection which should be the most important is unfortunately forgotten by many. That connection is with God, the Creator, and this forgetfulness is disrupting peace at all levels. Now, the question is how we can achieve this vital connectivity? Fortunately, God has … Read More Khilafat: Our Connection To God

Celebrating 100 years of Lajna in Qadian. Part II
Part II Kholood Munir Tahir, London One beautiful memory of my visit to Qadian in January 2023 that I will cherish is that of the piety and simplicity of the elder members of Lajna Ima’illah that I saw, whose hearts brimmed with such unwavering love and kindness: Due to the snowy weather conditions in Kashmir at the time, many Kashmiris were residing in Qadian … Read More Celebrating 100 years of Lajna in Qadian.

Celebrating 100 years of Lajna Ima’illah in the place it all began; Qadian Darul Aman
Kholood Munir Tahir, London A hundred years ago, in the small Indian village of Qadian, His Holiness Mirza Bashir-ud-din Mahmud Ahmad (may Allah be pleased with him) founded Lajna Ima’illah – an organisation devoted to empowering women through education and service to humanity. A hundred years from then, it was an honour for me to be able to visit the place, where it all … Read More Celebrating 100 years of Lajna Ima’illah in the place it all began; Qadian Darul Aman

100 Years of Grace of God
Arfa Yassir, Swindon There are endless signs of God Almighty in the physical world, contemplation will always point towards the existence of a Supreme Power. In the spiritual world, Prophets of God, their lives, character, decisions and their success, are a main sign of God Almighty.

The Joy of Eid-ul-Fitr
Iffat Mirza, Raynes Park Indeed, happiness is something that cannot be taken for granted. This world is full of pain and grief but there are beautiful moments which are interspersed throughout our life where our cheeks may ache with smiles too big for our faces to bear. Whether it is laughing with your siblings around the dinner table, even though you finished eating an … Read More The Joy of Eid-ul-Fitr

Inspiration
Siddiqa Faisal, Hayes For centuries women are known to have a deep love and inspiration for ornaments. Ornaments, collected from the bowels of the deep, deepest of oceans, or mined from the hard, hardest of mountains. Women are so inspired by ornaments and gems, that if I say that they are “a weakness of a woman”, I won’t be wrong. May be that’s why … Read More Inspiration

Fulfilling Quranic Commandments
Reem Shraiky, Tongham Lajna Ima’illah, meaning community of servants of Allah, is the name of the women’s auxiliary organisation of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, and it is indeed aptly named. Ever since it was founded a hundred years ago, its aim and objective, as stated by His Holiness Mirza Bashir-ud-din Mahmud Ahmad, who founded it, is, ‘to attain Allah’s pleasure and receive His bounties’. … Read More Fulfilling Quranic Commandments

100 Years of Empowerment
Iffat Mirza, Cambridge Just over one hundred years ago, in 1925, one of my favourite books was written: F Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless classic The Great Gatsby. The novel features a much quotable line from when one character is recalling the moment her daughter was born ‘I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little … Read More 100 Years of Empowerment
