Khilafat-e-Rashidah — Page 1
1 1 After Tashahhud , Ta‘awwudh and recitation of s u rah Al-F a ti h ah, H u du r said: Need to Expound Various Aspects of Khilafat I generally deliver a scholarly speech on every Jalsa S a l a nah [Annual Convention]. Accordingly, I want to express my views on an important topic today. As this Jalsa is special because of its relationship with Khilafat Jubilee, and the various presentations being made are also related to the issue of Khilafat, I deem it appropriate that my speech should also focus primarily on various aspects of Khilafat. Some people might be annoyed that every speaker addresses the same topic of Khilafat, but the significance of this subject and the requisites of this Jalsa S a l a nah demand that all details of this issue be explained cogently. It is a part of human nature that it benefits from consuming different varieties of food, but sometimes one has to take the same thing repeatedly. The Holy Prophet sa said concerning the Eids, “These are our days to eat and drink” 2 ; especially in the days of Eid ul-Adha , there is nothing 1 In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. We praise Him and invoke blessings upon His Noble Messenger sa.
