The System of Mushawarat in Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya — Page 406
T he S ystem of M ushawarat in J ama ‘ at - e -A hmadiyya members o f the Jama'ats were consulted on this issue and the majority supported the proposal, then electing a few persons from the Jama'ats for discharging such a function would not mean that their right has been taken away from them, but if the proposal was not placed be fore them, it would be justifiable to say that the rights o f people have been affected. ” [Report Majlis-e-Shura 1943, pp. 22-23] R eports of the C entral D epartments As previously mentioned, reports about the implementa tion o f the previous year’s decisions o f Shura would be read out before the actual proceedings o f Shura. This would be done in two ways. Firstly, reports about the implementation o f the Shura’s decisions would be pre sented by the concerned Nazarats— this practice is ongoing to this day. Secondly, all the Nazarats would present their progress reports, which would be scruti nized and questioned in the Shura. This would take a lot of time and would affect the actual work o f Mushawarat. Little time would be left even for deliberating upon the budget. It was, therefore, decided that instead of being presented in the Shura, the progress reports should be published separately. Hadrat Musleh-e-Mau‘udra ap proved this proposal and thereafter these reports were appended to the detailed report of Shura.
