The World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat and Fifth Khalifa, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad delivered the keynote address at a Special Reception held at the Princess Court Reception Center in Melbourne on the evening of 11 October 2013.

The event was attended by more than 100 non-Ahmadi dignitaries and guests, including Major-General Paul McLachlan, Mayor of Frankston, Sandra Mayer, Anthony Byrne MP, Judith Graley MP and Ingra Peulich MP.

During his keynote address, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad analysed in detail the major threats to modern day world peace including the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ and spoke of his serious concern that the world was increasingly at the precipice of a horrific Third World War. Thereafter, His Holiness outlined the pathway to peace based on true Islamic teachings.

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad began his address by explaining Islam’s core teachings of mutual respect by saying:

Human beings are the greatest of all of God’s Creation and so Allah the Almighty desires for mankind to respect and honor one another. This is why the Holy Qur’an, which is the sacred book for all Muslims and according to our beliefs the final law-bearing book, is filled from cover to cover with commandments requiring mankind to fulfill the rights of one another.

During much of his address, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad addressed the causes and consequences of the Arab Spring. Describing the state of affairs in Libya following NATO’s military intervention in 2011, His Holiness said:

If we look at Libya we find that its governing officials, political analysts and media are all in agreement that tribal governments have now formed and consequently the central government is facing grave difficulties and is entirely weakened.

Moving on to the conflict in Syria, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said that both the Government and the rebel forces were to blame for the disorder which has plagued Syria for more than two years. Regarding recent developments, His Holiness expressed relief that military intervention did not take place as was recently threatened. He also articulated a hope that those tasked with destroying Syria’s chemical weapons were successful in entirely eliminating them.
