Peace be on you.
God sends religious laws for the benefit of human who have diverse mental and physical capabilities. Religious laws in Holy Quran haveve minimum and maximum standards for practice. “Allah burdens not any soul beyond its capacity……” (Holy Quran ch2:v287). When human acts on His directives which He has asked to do, grants unlimited reward. Religious law or Shariah is based on softness.
When a person came to Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and asked him about Islam, he (p.b.u.h.) told him about five compulsory daily Prayers, financial sacrifice Zakaat and Ramadhan fasting and upon his further enquiry man was told if he could offer extra to these essentials it will be extra reward for him. The man went back saying he will stay with basics. Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said if he will do so he will be successful.
So it evident from it that Islam has not asked everyone to observe very high standards like companions Hazrat Abu Bakr (r.a.) and Hazrat Umer (r.a.) did when they brought full and half things in house respectively to help a cause of time. Islam makes obligations based on least common human capabilities.
One is encouraged to increase capacities to go for high standards though. One way of doing it to help weaker friends in faith.
Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah (may Allah be his Helper) asked Ahmadiyya religious trainers (Murabbiya, Mubalegheen, Life devoteed and Office holders) to focus on their duties in uplifting members spiritual and learning capacities.
[3:105] ‘and let there be a group among you who should invite to goodness.........’.
=Neighbours can bring friends to mosque for Prayer.
=Friday sermon's of Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah (a.t.) should be heard with full attention.
Huzur (a.t.) prayed May Allah the Exalted enable all of us that we continuously increase our capabilities and keep absorbing His blessings. [Aameen]
Mention of two passed away ladies.
QUOTE
" Huzur (a.t.) mentioned lives of two pious ladies who recently passed away [Janaza Salaat in absentia - “….inna lillahe wa lnna elaihe raje’un” (2:157): Surely to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return]
1- Jananal Aani sahiba of Syria
She was living in Turkey these days. She was 57. Before joining Jama'at Ahmadiyya, she resolved to find nearness of God as world is perishable. she tried several sects could not find peace anywhere. She always prayed to God with pain to get guidance….In 1994, her heart got glued with Arabic program ‘liqaa ma alarab’ of MTA [Muslim Television Ahmadiyya mta.tv] It was the first time she felt peace. She was impressed by answers to her questions by Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah IV (ra) in that program. She became Ahmadiyya Muslims in 1995. Her daughter shared her decision though h she faced severe resistance by her father. By seeing her virtue, Taqwa, good morals and deeds, her husband and other children joined the Jama'at too. She was simple, well behaved, loyal, punctual in offering Tahajjud Salaat, soft hearted person, helped all, kind to little and elders. She served woman’s auxiliary in Syria and Turkey. She trained children to have link with system of Jama'at, have love and attachment with Khilafat. In Syria, she served as Saddar (president) of a city’s ladies auxiliary ‘lajna emma ullah’. When she came to Turkey, she was appointed Saddar for auxiliary in city ‘Iskenderun’ she served in this capacity till her last. Her all children are loyal Ahmadis. She was in the blessed system of Will [started by Hazrat Promised Messiah a.s. under divine guidance]; her record was lost due to situation in Syria. Huzur (a.t.) directed the department to accept her Will.
Her son Ali sahib said: His mother was punctual in Tahajjud Salaat and would ask family too….. She would say: ‘Exchange the delight of sleep with zeal for waking for Tahajjud so that you can prove that the highest delight in your life is the worship of God’…..She would say: ‘To manifest the love of God, adopt this method, that get prepared by performing Wadu (ablution) and sit waiting for Azaan (call) for Salaat, as you wait impatiently to meet an extremely Beloved.’
Muhammad Sharif sahib from Turkey writes: People sitting in her company would surely have deep effect from her sincere talk about Holy Prophet (s.a.w.), Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) and Khilafat. She highly desired that we may fit at the standards mentioned by Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.). During the talk she would always bring the subject to any verse of Holy Quran, Hadith of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) or words of Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.).
Fatima Jumua sahiba writes: Since I did Bai'at, she always took care of me and never left me. When she would hear a child reciting Holy Quran or reading Arabic Qasida of Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.), she would present gift as encouragement. When we met her last time, she said I make Will to you that you always accept, in any circumstance, what Khalifah of time says.
May Allah the Exalted elevate her stations, make her children and progeny connected with Jama'at, make them true servant of Islam as she desired that true Islam always remain establish in her progeny. [Aameen]
2- Habiba sahiba of Mexico.
She passed away at the age of more than 100 years in Mexico. She joined Jama'at in June 2014. At this very old age she learned Salaat and by the grace of Allah the Exalted she was punctual. She would pray, worship, remember Allah in abundance, she was happy-moraled and virtuous. She offered Zohar Salaat and then doing Zikr e Elahi (remembering God) when she passed away.
She was born in a village of Mexico’s Chiapas state to a Catholic religious family. Her father was well known pastor of area who joined Protestant sect. He was killed in 1981 due to religious opposition. Her husband was appointed pastor in her father’s place. Her grandson Imam Ibrahim sahib accepted Islam in 1996 and due to his Tabligh her husband and many people of her family accepted Islam. Now her all grandsons and granddaughters and children are Ahmadiyya-Muslims. May Allah the Exalted elevate her stations and keep her progeny all connected with Jama'at Ahmadiyya Muslimah and enable them to walk on her footsteps. [Aameen] "
