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!
Voices of Ijtema
Sameea Jonnud and Lajna and Nasirat members Lajna Ijtema has been a constant annual event in the lives of Ahmadi Muslim Women over the years. My own memories are varied, covering many aspects of Ijtema; standing on the stage in competition, excitement at receiving a prize for Nasirat team quiz, watching my daughters take part and volunteering in different departments over the years. Above … Read More Voices of Ijtema

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

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

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

Progressive and Revolutionary
Ayesha Naseem, Blackburn The term ‘revolution’ has several meanings, and it is manifested in different ways; but broadly speaking revolution is about bringing or causing a great change. The world has witnessed political, social, and economic revolutions throughout history. But there is one rather distinct kind of revolution that is not as greatly explored nor studied. That is a revolution that takes place within … Read More Progressive and Revolutionary

Social Integration: The Key to Being British?
Ayesha Naseem, Blackburn ‘I also don’t think that enough is done to integrate and educate… immigrants, they need to integrate, as we have a different culture to others which we need to maintain.’[1] After reading this quotation during a history lecture recently, several thoughts crossed my mind. This quote was originally taken from a study done in 2004 about public attitudes and views about … Read More Social Integration: The Key to Being British?
Love For All, Hatred For None
Siaraa Syed, Hounslow Six simple words; yet, they carry so much weight, magnitude and relevance, especially in modern society. “An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; a White has no superiority over a Black, nor does a Black have any superiority over a White, except by piety and good action.” [Prophet Muhammad (peace … Read More Love For All, Hatred For None
My Identity as a Muslim Woman
By Wajeeha Rana, Slough The question of my identity as a Muslim woman has been raised repeatedly, at university and in the work place. This is perhaps because quite evidently, I am identifiable as a Muslim from the way in which I dress, and my choice to wear the hijab is a very prominent symbol of commitment to my religion. I feel an indescribable … Read More My Identity as a Muslim Woman
