Aameen! Significance of Khilafat-e Khamisa- (Fifth Khilafat) Historic Pledge taken by Hadrat Khalifatul Masih V aa on the Occasion of the Centenary Khilafat Jubilee Day (Excel Center, London, UK, on May 27, 2008) ‘ Ash-hadu `an laa ‘illaaha `illallahu wahdahoo laa shareeka lahoo wa ash-hadu `anna Muhammadan `abduhoo wa rasooluh. Today, upon the completion of one hundred years of Khilafat, we take an oath in the name of Allah, the Almighty, and make this firm pledge that in order to spread the message of Islam and Ahmadiyyat and the name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa to the corners of the earth, we will continue to strive till our last breath, and for the fulfilment of this sacred duty, we will always keep our lives dedicated for the sake of Allah and his Prophet sa , and we will continue to offer every sacrifice, no matter how great, to keep the flag of Islam flying high in every country of the world. We also affirm that we will continue to strive to safeguard and strengthen the institution of Khilafat till our last breath, and we will continue urging our children and future generations to remain bonded to Khilafat in order to benefit from its blessings, so that Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya is kept safeguarded till the last Day of Judgment, and so that through Ahmadiyyat, the spreading of Islam continues, and the flag of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa may fly higher than all the flags of the world. O God, grant us the ability to fulfil this pledge. Allahumma Aameen, Allahumma Aameen, Allahumma Aameen! ’ (Translated from Urdu, Alislam. org)
