The System of Mushawarat in Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya — Page 397

T he S ystem of M ushawarat in jama ‘ at - e -A hmadiyya meant was that members o f the Commission should not be approached personally, and administrative and office matters should not be discussed with them in private. A l though the Commission has graciously acknowledged the Nazirs’ cooperation, they did not, in fact, cooperate. I hope they w ill do so in future. Secondly, I expect them to get rid o f their negligence and try to conform fully to the instructions that have been given to them. I am not satisfied in this regard. The new Commission should particularly see to it that everything is done strictly in accordance with the rules and regulations. I also expect the members o f the Commission to report any departure from the rules oh part o f the Nazirs without fear or favour. The members o f the Commission are my assistants, and they are the Khalifa in a sense. They should courageously and fearlessly report any fault, and , point out anything which needs to be corrected. If some office worker is incompetent and unable to perform his duties, this also should be brought to my notice so that he may be replaced. ” [Report MajUs-e-Shura 1930, pp. 48-49] R esponsibilities of the O ffice -B earers of the J ama ‘ at A proposal from Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya Benin was pre sented in the International Majlis-e-Shura in 1988, which related to determining the responsibilities o f the Amir, the Missionary In-charge, and the President o f a Jama'at.
