Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad addresses a congregation of more than 6,100 attendees from across the UK

“Every Ahmadi Muslim must prove to the doubters and skeptics that God does exist and that He is a Living God and that Islam is the final religion revealed by Him.” – Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad

On 8 September 2019, the World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the Fifth Khalifa, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad delivered a faith-inspiring address to conclude the three-day National Ijtema (Annual Gathering) of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association in the UK (Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya)

The objectives of the Ijtema, held for the third time at Country Market, Kingsley, were to educate the Muslim youths of the true peaceful teachings of Islam and to inspire them towards serving both their faith and nation to the best of their abilities.
