All Jama`ats around the world must take this advice very seriously, as this the only way to widen the scope of Da‘wat ilallah. On August 1, 2004, on the last day of the Annual Convention of U. K, Huzur aa said that the Nizam-e Wasiyyat would be 100 years old in 2005, and the Ahmadiyya Nizam-e Khilafat would be 100 years old in 2008. Huzur aa expressed his desire that as part of Khilafat Jubilee celebrations and as a token of thankfulness to Allah the Almighty, at least 50 per cent of the earning Chanda Payers, should join Nizam-e Wasiyyat. In his Friday Sermon of September 24, 2004, Huzur aa strongly advised that every Ahmadi Muslim must learn the recitation and translation of the Holy Qur’an. Thereafter, everyone should start studying its commentary made by the Promised Messiah as — which is available in three volumes — and we should constantly strive to lead our lives according to the commandments of the Holy Qur’an. In his Friday sermon of November 6, 2004, Huzur aa announced the start of Office-V of Tahrik-e-Jadid, as Office-IV completed its 19 years starting from 1985 when Hadrat Khalifatul Masih IV rh announced it. Huzur aa also advised all Ahmadi Muslims to revive the accounts of Office-I of Tahrik-e- Jadid by paying the contributions of their parents or grandparents who may have contributed in Office-I. In his Friday Sermons of February 10 and February 24, 2005, Huzur aa painfully referred to the publication in the European press of disrespectful cartoons and of propaganda full of lies regarding the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa. Huzur aa said that our deep love for our beloved Holy Prophet sa demanded that we should make special plans to present to the world the beauty of the high morals and peaceful teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa. In his Friday Sermon of February 18, 2005, Huzur aa advised Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya and Lajna Imaillah to prepare special teams that could promptly respond to allegations made against our beloved Prophet Muhammad sa.
