T he S ystem of M ushawarat in J ama 4 at - e -A hmadiyya Mushawarat in all its manifestations. Under heavenly directions and the leadership of the Khulafa, this spirit continues to soar to new heights. By the grace o f Allah, this consultative institution o f Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya is growing by the day. In all the countries of the world where Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya has been established, this system o f Mushawarat has also been introduced in keeping with the high Islamic traditions. From this point of view, our Majlis-e-Mushawarat also serves as an unparalleled training institution, and plays the important role o f keeping the Khalifa and the obedi ent servants of Ahmadiyyat united as one body. In no other school o f thought, whether worldly or religious, do we find a consultative institution which keeps the leader and the followers together in such bonds of love and unity. And why should this not be so, when Allah has established this Jama'at through the Promised Messiah (as) to ensure the victory o f Islam, and He Himself has laid down its foundation. And this is the Jama'at which is busy day and night in formulating and implementing new schemes for spreading the word o f Allah, and is ever ready to make sacrifices in this cause. To conclude, we pray that this Islamic system o f consul tation may always remain alive with all its beautiful and high traditions. Generation after generation, Jama'at-e- Ahmadiyya has been able to safeguard the distinction of the Shura. The Jama'at should never forget the instruc tions that have been given to us by our Khulafa— and 46 0
