Conditions of Bai'at and Responsibilities of an Ahmadi — Page 147
[From the Friday sermon delivered at the Fa d l Mosque, London, United Kingdom, on September 12, 2003, in which ninth condition of bai‘at was discussed in detail. ] The teachings of Islam are so beautiful that they have not left any aspect of human life untouched. All of these favours of Allah the Almighty demand that this teaching, which descended on His dear Prophet sa , be adopted as part of our lives. We bear even greater responsibility as we have joined and claimed to have joined the Jam a ‘at of the true lover and servant of the Holy Prophet sa , and the Imam of this Age. Thus, whereas Allah the Almighty has drawn attention towards His worship and the discharge of one’s obligations toward Him, He has also drawn the attention toward the discharge of our obligations to humans. He has also commanded us regarding the rights of different relatives and relationships that need to be discharged. It is due to this importance that the Promised Messiah as mentioned in the ninth condition of bai‘at kindness towards the creation of Allah the Almighty and the obligations owed to them.
