Brief Report

By the grace of Allah, `Ashra Tarbiyat was held from 22 Dec to 31 Dec, 2009. For this `Ashra, members of the National Majlis-e-Amila along with Sadr Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya Canada attended 55 Sa’iqin level Khuddam meetings in the Central Izl`a with a total of 615 Khuddam attending in Central Canada alone.

These meetings were an informal forum in which Khuddam introduced themselves to each other sharing their family, educational and professional background as well as their involvement in Jama’at work. The sessions started and ended with silent prayers.

By the grace of Allah, Majalis across the country used various methods of improving participation in 5 daily prayers including:

Namaz Wake-up call implemented by Majlis Brampton Flowertown

Tarbiyati Class (sleep over) carried by Majlis Brampton Springdale

Congregational Tahajud Prayer carried out by Majlis Ahmadiyya Abode of Peace

The top Majalis for this `Ashra were, Ahmadiyya Abode of Peace, Scarborough, Brampton Flower Town, Brampton Heartlake, Toronto East, Peace Village East, Surrey West. The best Zil`a was Central West.

By the grace of Allah, in the month of December alone, there has been an overall increase of 3% in the number of Khuddam offering daily prayers. Khuddam also took the initiative of sending the Friday Sermon of Huzur-e-Anwar (aa) via E-mail from Alislam.org. Majalis also reported progress on a constant basis back to Markaz.

An interesting feature of this `Ashra was the Q/A sessions conducted by Amir Sahib, Jama’at Ahmadiyya Canada across all Izl`a of Canada for high school students. By the grace of Allah, the total participation of students was 283 in the Central Izl`a and 171 in the Western Izl`a. The theme for these sessions was “Who we are and why we believe in Islamic teachings?”
