This is not the condition in just Arab countries, in Pakistan too, situation is such that it is difficult for some to have one square meal. News are emerging where hundreds of kilograms of gold has been stashed away, or a country’s assets have been placed in Swiss banks in personal accounts, numerous properties have been bought in foreign lands, all this while the masses are desperate for two square meals. Greed has made some leaders so selfish that there is no comparison between what they fill their personal coffers with and how they serve humanity. Wealth and lust for power is given precedence over God’s commandments or in order to manage wealth and to strengthen power, foreign governments are relied on and are given priority over own countrymen and if needed, the countrymen are persecuted and transgressed against. Although the name of Islam is made use of, but in its name Haququl ebaad and Haququllah (rights of God) are trampled on. Once this distinction does not remain, worldliness takes over. They forget the basic commandment of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and the Book with which they are associated, that the distinguishing factor between Muslims and the others is Taqwa. The real reason for this is lack of Taqwa (righteousness). Usually, when Muslims attain political power or come into any position of power they forget Haququl ebaad (rights of mankind). Those Ahmadis who reside in these countries or originate from there and have connections with the politicians there, should make them aware that rather than personal gain these politicians should think of national interests. However, we can pray for them and for this each Ahmadi should pay attention. We do not have worldly power or resources with which we could help them, in particular help those few countries where the current political situation is degenerating. In our Bai’at we pledge to have sympathy with God’s creation, thus our compassion for Muslims should be that much more. We accept the Imam of the age and thus it is our obligation more than any other to express our sympathy to the Muslims.
He said sympathy with the Muslims demands, as does the love of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) that an Ahmadi, who is a true Muslim, prays for whoever associates himself with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), calls himself a Muslim and is being made a target because of being a Muslim or for the current agitation and lawlessness in Muslim countries. Hudhur said today he wished to draw attention to prayers regarding the entire Muslim world. Hudhur gave a discourse on the current situation in the Muslim world and the need for Divinely-guided Khilafat.
