The Holy Quran says, “ You are the best people raised for the good of mankind.” (3:111).

Sadly, some heinous acts of Muslims have frightened the world, who do not expect any good from Muslims.

The Holy Prophet (pbuh) foretold that the Muslims will plunge into misguided darkness in the latter days and a Messiah will be sent by God to revive the true teachings of Islam.

As Ahmadi Muslims, we believe that the Promised Messiah (as) has come and his truthfulness has been supported by the earthly and heavenly signs.

So, it is the prime responsibility of every Ahmadi to call the world to goodness and being desirous of good for everyone.

Message of goodness

Labourer, businessmen, doctor, lawyer, scientists, teacher, farmer …everyone has to take this message of goodness to their sphere with wisdom; so that the world may get to know of Ahmadiyyat and the True Islam.

We Ahmadi Muslims are embarrassed and saddened to see that the world scared of

Muslims. We find it particularly hurtful that those who perpetrate these despicable crimes and bring

Islam into disrepute do it in the name of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), who was sent as the Mercy for whole of mankind. They totally misrepresent true and exemplary character of the Holy Prophet (pbuh ) to the world.

Islam is not false but rather the actions of these people are at fault who are spreading chaos and disorder in the world in the name of Islam.

Ahmadiyya is acting on these beautiful teachings of Islam. Because we believe that the Promised Messiah (as) has come and his truthfulness has been supported by the earthly and heavenly signs.

Nevertheless, as an Ahmadi we are not at all dismayed nor do we lose hope seeing

these misdeeds. So, to call the world to goodness and being desirous of good for everyone is the prime responsibility of every Ahmadi because Allah, through His Grace and Favour has bestowed upon us the bounty of having accepted he Promised Messiah (as).

As Ahmadis, we are duty bound to be of benefit to others, because we have accepted the Imam of the age. The blessing of Allah that He guided us to believe in the Promised Messiah (as) compels us to promote peace to the best of our abilities.

We are the well wishers of the Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus and the followers of other religions as well as atheists. Because we have the responsibility to show all of them the path that takes them close to God Almighty. We are required to rise to the challenge and do everything in our power to be a source of goodness and beneficence to others and prevent evil and misdeeds.

Indeed we also have desire and wish for good for all people involved in every kind of evil including thieves and robbers.This is simply because these are all the creatures of the Lord of all the Worlds, Who has ordained us to be good to every creatures of God Almighty.

By saying ‘ukh-ray-jat lin-naas’ [for the whole of mankind] Allah has made our field of actions very vast. So for the good of humanity, we have to show them the right paths that lead to God Almighty.

We have to raise awareness that this life will come to an end one day and we all will be held to account for our actions. So follow the commandments of God Almighty so that you may

have a better end. But we cannot make anyone understand this until we practice this ourselves. This

is a very great duty that we have to carry out with deligence, care and regular self-assessments.
