After reciting Tashahhud, Ta'awwuz and Surah Fatiha, Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih III said:"Our Annual Rallies are held every year but there did occur somebreaks. It is now the fourth year, since 1973, that this Rally was lastheld. Due to this reason, coupled with the slackness of the Central administrators as I understand, the number of the participatingMajaalis (branches) is lower in this Rally than those of the 1973 despite the fact that scores of new Majaalis (branches) and Jama’atshave been established since 1973.This year 493 branches have participated while in 1973 as many as546 branches took part in the Rally, with 1954 foreign Khuddam and1856 Rabwah Khuddam, totalling 3810 Khuddam.
What has gone wrong is gone. May Allah the Exalted grant us forgiveness. This mistake should not occur next year. We should ever march forward.The second thing I would like to say is that the Khuddamul Ahmadiyya was entrusted with the responsibility of collecting contributions from the Atfal ul Ahmadiyya for Waqf-i-Jadid. Theyoung Atfal (boys) and Nasirat (girls) of Ahmadi families were required to pay collectively one hundred thousand rupees (Rs.100,000) during the current year. But even the pledges received so faramounted to nearly 68,000, while the actual amount received is only Rs. 28,000. Hence, I hereby draw the attention of all the local officebearers of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya of each branch — whether they arepresent in this Rally or could not attend due to slackness — to try to acquire the pledges in accordance with the budget and escalate the speed of getting the pledges redeemed. We should have probably received half the amount so far but even in this respect there is adeficiency of Rs. 28,000. Hence pay heed to make up this deficiency.
May Allah the Exalted empower you to do so.In my inaugural speech on Friday, brothers and children, I drewyour attention to the fact that the grand revolution, launched by theHoly Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be on him) fortraversing stages of advancement in the last days, has ushered in its second phase. A prediction has been made in the Holy Quran regarding this age. The Ummat of the Holy Prophet (peace andblessings of God be on him) has been given glad tidings through theHoly Prophet that in accordance with the happy news that He may cause it to prevail over all religions
( The Holy Quran, 9:33 )the Islamic faith would dominate over all other faiths and isms.
