145 Referring to marital life and important responsibilities of Ahmadi Muslim women, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) said in his address at Jalsa Salana Germany on 1 September 2007: ‘An Ahmadi woman’s responsibility in not merel y to look after her home in worldly matters, to watch over her children and to take care of their education; an Ahmadi woman’s responsibility is far greater than that. An Ahmadi woman has to look after her and her husband’s home in the manner explained by Islam. She has to take care of the worldly education and training of her children; has to instruct her children in accor dance with Islamic morals; and she also has to spiritua l l y train them. In order to impress upon her children all of these points, in or der to instil within them these lessons, she herself has to set up a pious example. By moulding her own life in accordance with the way prescribed by Allah the Exalted, she has to demonstrate models of worship of God and lofty examples of good deeds. Only then an Ahmadi woman can be called a true guardian of her husband’s house. Only then an Ahmadi mother can discharge the obligation of the upbringing of her children. Otherwise, owing to contradiction between her words and deeds her children can never be br ought up properly. ’
