Divine Glad Tidings Huzur rh said in his Friday Sermon: “I was not feeling well for the last few days. I felt better on Thursday and went through my mail and was able to read letters from members and pray for them, continuing up until past midnight. Then, I also prayed for strength from God, so that I may be able to discharge the responsibilities entrusted to me. Then I prayed for the progress of the Jama’at and its members. When I awoke in the morning, this phrase was on my lips ‘I will give you so much that you will be sated’. I had prayed the previous night for increased levels of spirituality and righteousness, and since the khalifa of the time can only be sated if the Jama’at is sated, I found in these words glad tidings for the Jama’at. That is why I have recounted this phrase so that the members of the Jama’at may rejoice and their hearts may be filled with the praise of God and they should realise how much they should love the God who loves them so much. ”
