The System of Mushawarat in Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya — Page 408

T he S ystem of M ushawarat in J ama ‘ at - e -A hmadiyya Umur ‘Amma extends full cooperation to the Private Secretary in this regard. Arrangements have to be made for Majlis-e-Mushawarat every year, and these include making seating arrange ments for the delegates and Z a’irin. In the beginning the delegates used to sit on the floor, but since it was difficult for them to stand up to speak time and again, it was, therefore, decided that chairs should be arranged for. The arrangement of chairs was also not easy, and they had to be hired or procured from the various educational institu tions. Since their procurement and transport would involve a lot o f work and expenditure, Hadrat Musleh-e- Mau‘udra decided that essential items should be purchased and permanently stocked in the Private Secretary’s office. Another important aspect of organizing the Shura is the preparation and publication o f the detailed report. This is also the task of the Private Secretary. He also records the important decisions o f Mushawarat and presents them to Hadrat Khallfatul Maslh for formal approval. The Private Secretary is also responsible for intimating the concerned Departments about the decisions for the purpose of record and implementation. The Central Organizations work all the year round to implement these decision. Miscellane ous instructions given by Hadrat Khallfatul Maslh during the course o f Mushawarat are implemented by the Central Organizations or the outside Jama'ats, as the case may be. 40 8
