The 130th Annual Convention (JALSA SALANA) of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community inaugurated in Qadian, India
"The grand objectives of this convention: Establishing mutual love, understanding, compassion, and fostering piousness and piety"
"Laying the foundation for interfaith harmony and peace through a spiritually uplifting gathering."
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in India is organizing its 130th Annual Convention with its traditional grace and magnificence at it's headquarter in Qadian, from December 26th to 28th, 2025. 134 years ago, in 1891, the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in India, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah and Mahdi (peace be upon him), initiated this spiritual gathering under Allah's command to lay the foundation and propagate interfaith peace, harmony, and reconciliation.
The core objective of this spiritual gathering is to beckon the world towards its true Creator, fostering mutual compassion among God's creation and promoting brotherhood and unity. This convention isn't just an ordinary event; rather, it stands as a unique and distinguished gathering due to its nature and historical significance.
This spiritual congregation draws seekers from distant corners, enduring the hardships of travel while setting aside their worldly pursuits.
The founder, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (peace be upon him), articulated the purpose of this convention, stating, "The essence and purpose of this gathering were for our community members to undergo such a transformation through repeated meetings that their hearts wholly incline towards the Hereafter. They should develop a profound fear of God Almighty within themselves and become exemplars of asceticism, piety, God-consciousness, restraint, gentleness, mutual love, and reconciliation. They should manifest humility, modesty, and sincerity while fostering these qualities within themselves for others."
During these three days of the gathering, there will be various speeches delivered that will propel individuals toward paths of moral and spiritual advancement. Every attendee engaging in this gathering feels an inner strength and rejuvenation, also experiencing a renewed sense of faith and ethics upon their return, refreshing and revitalizing their beliefs and conduct.
The message conveyed by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community through this gathering is for individuals to turn towards their Creator and, while embracing the principle of 'Love for All, Hatred for None,' for every person to respect the religious sentiments and emotions of others. United in striving for the betterment and prosperity of God's creation, they endeavour to adopt this principle.

Speech No. 1: Inaugural Address - Respected Rafiq Ahmad Malabari Sahib, President, Majlis Tehrik-e-Jadid, Anjuman Ahmadiyya Qadian
Summary of the Inaugural Address:
In this address, the speaker highlighted the spiritual significance and global scope of the Jalsa Salana, explaining that this blessed gathering, established by the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), was founded through the special grace of Allah the Almighty and, having begun with a small number, has today become a source of spiritual nourishment for thousands of seekers across the world. In the light of the guidance of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (may Allah the Almighty strengthen him with His mighty help), the speech emphasized that the fundamental objective of the Jalsa Salana is to acquire knowledge of the teachings of Islam, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the Holy Qur'an, and to cultivate righteousness, prayer, worship, self-reformation, and moral and spiritual training, rather than merely social interaction. Furthermore, this gathering provides an opportunity to foster mutual love and acquaintance, strengthen spiritual bonds between new and old members, offer collective prayers for the deceased, and special prayers for those who participate. The address concluded with a prayer that Allah the Almighty may enable the Jamaat to become the true inheritor of these blessings and, during the blessed era of Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya, grant the witnessing of the triumph of true Islam.
Speech No. 2: Title: Proof of the Living God in the Light of the Supremacy of the Prophets - Respected Muhammad Hamid Kausar Sahib, Nazir Da'wat-il-Allah, Central Qadian
Summary:
This address was centered on the core point that "the supremacy of the Prophets (peace be upon them) is a clear proof of Allah the Almighty being Living and All-Powerful," a point substantiated through verses of the Holy Qur'an and incidents from the history of the Prophets. Through the examples of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him), Prophet Moses (peace be upon him), Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the speech clarified that despite severe opposition, persecution, and conspiracies, Allah the Almighty has always granted success and supremacy to His chosen Prophets. In the present era, the advent of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (peace be upon him) and the worldwide progress of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat are a continuation of this divine promise, where, despite 136 years of opposition, the global spread of the Jamaat, the failure of the opponents, and divine support all proclaim that "Allah has decreed: I and My Messengers shall surely prevail." The address concluded with a prayer that Allah the Almighty may grant humanity the ability to recognize the truth and establish a sincere relationship with their Lord.
Speech No. 3: Title: The Life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
(Teachings and Exemplary Model of the Holy Prophet ﷺ with Reference to Religious Tolerance and Freedom of Conscience)
Respected Muhammad In'aam Ghori Sahib, Nazir A'la and Local Amir, Qadian
Summary:
In this address, the comprehensive Islamic teachings on religious tolerance and freedom of conscience were explained in detail in the light of the Holy Qur'an and the sayings and noble example of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). According to these teachings, Islam does not permit any form of religious coercion, compulsion, or hatred; rather, it enjoins belief in all Prophets, kind and just conduct towards neighbours and non-Muslims, fulfilment of covenants, respect for human life and dignity, and peaceful coexistence despite differences. The speech highlighted practical examples from the life of the Holy Prophet ﷺ-including the State of Madinah, the Christian delegation of Najran, and his dealings with Jews and polytheists-demonstrating mercy, forgiveness, and justice, and clarified that Islamic wars were defensive in nature and not fought to spread religion. Furthermore, with reference to the advent of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (peace be upon him) and the message of "Paigham-e-Sulh" (Message of Peace), emphasis was laid on the need for interfaith harmony, unity, and human compassion. In accordance with the guidance of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (may Allah the Almighty strengthen him with His mighty help), it was stressed that in the present age, the only solution to hatred, violence, and extremism is for the world to adopt the peace-giving teachings of the Holy Qur'an and the merciful example of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, and to promote religious freedom and tolerance.
Speech No. 4: Title: The Life of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him)
(In the Light of Divine Love)
Respected Hafiz Makhdum Sharif Sahib, Additional Nazir A'la, South India
Summary:
This address focused on the themes of divine love, nearness to God, and the living continuity of divine revelation. It was explained that the Prophets (peace be upon them), and especially the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), were the highest exemplars of perfect love for and obedience to Allah the Almighty, and that as a result of this perfect following, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (peace be upon him) was appointed to the office of the Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi. The speech described in detail the life of the Promised Messiah, his acts of worship, visions and revelations, the countless signs of the acceptance of prayers, and the manifestation of the Living God through him, emphasizing that even today Allah the Almighty continues to manifest His existence through revelation, inspiration, and divine support. It further highlighted that under the leadership of Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya-particularly that of Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih V (may Allah the Almighty strengthen him with His mighty help)-the living divine support and miracles of accepted prayers being witnessed by the Ahmadiyya Jamaat stand as a shining proof before the world. Therefore, it was concluded that the path to the salvation of humanity, spiritual progress, and true recognition of Allah lies in attachment to Khilafat, prayer, and complete obedience to the Holy Prophet ﷺ.
