Women’s RoR Team
By the grace of God, the Ahmadiyya Muslim network has been established in Germany for a hundred years. This is an auspicious example that should be celebrated with zeal. Over the last century, the German Ahmadiyya network has grown, incorporated and made a positive contribution to its society. The women’s auxiliary organization, Lajna Imai’llah (which also commemorates one hundred years of its status quo abroad), provides each and every step of the way. From organization to education, secular and spiritual, Ahmadi women are on an equal footing with men.
Jalsa Salana Germany is the best scenario to see it first hand. In the colossal pavilions that make up this year’s Jalsa site, women manage all the logistics alone. The service staff shared their idea of reaching a milestone.
Laraib Rehman is the Secretary General of AMSV, the association of women students. We are talking about what we learned earlier in His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (aba) dealing with women. His Holiness (aba) spoke about those women of Islam who have animated generations with their deeds, constancy in religion and sacrifices.
Laraib says passionately:
The ethical education of young people was also a topic of discussion at the congress. For Laraib, it’s important to have the opportunity to speak to many young women across the country. She is able to bond with her classmates and motivate them.
She herself has benefited from this stimulus: that of women helping women. When Laraib first moved to Germany, he didn’t know the language, but he needed to be taught it in school. “My local president in Lajna sent me to student meetings. Through these meetings, she heard other women speak the language and encouraged her to speak in her mother’s language, Urdu, while slowly learning German. “They were very nice!” he exclaims. With the help of her sisters, she has come. a long way: “And now I’m here with the student organization. “
“When women come from Pakistan, I tell them it’s possible; Nothing’s impossible. Huzoor (aba) also said in today’s speech [that you shouldn’t] have the hijab complex, so you are less than someone. . . I feel proud when I pass somewhere and there is no hijabi, and I say, ‘Yes!I am the only hijabi. ‘
We hope that others interested in learning more about the strength and talents of Muslim women will take a look at occasions like the Jalsa. “I think everyone had this hijab symbol: if she wears it, she’s not very polite. So now Alhamdolillah is converting (all praise belongs to God). . . And the school is converting it. ” Today, in the ladies session, a long list of names of women who have achieved scholastic excellence, up to the doctorate, was announced, announced . punto. This is the most important point of Ahmadi Muslim women.
In addition to secular education, women also acquire their devout knowledge. Another initiative of the network is the Aisha Academy, a theology and language institute for women between the ages of 16 and 35. The institute teaches a three-year course at the end of which the student obtains a Mubashara diploma. We met Amtul Jameel Ghazala, principal of Aisha Academy. She tells us how many German women wished to have an institute similar to that of the young people of Jamia Ahmadiyya [Institute of Modern Languages and Theology]. It was a blessing that His Holiness (aba) also pointed them in this direction.
During the final stages of the academy, the Covid pandemic came, and the opening of the academy was delayed. In 2021, when restrictions began to be lifted, the doors of Aisha Academy Germany opened. The first cohort consisted of 10 girls. This year 30 programs have been awarded for the next batch.
As they begin their third year, we ask how the women who examine there are doing. Amtul tells us, “They have a lot of interest and enthusiasm. ” Amtul informs us that some academics are married and have children. We wonder how they manage all these responsibilities: “It is a wonderful sacrifice for women, that although they live in a world, they need to acquire devout knowledge, and even if they have husbands, children, to take care of a house. They say that. . . . . they wake up at 3 a. m. for Tahujjud [voluntary] prayers, then paint for Aisha Academy and then come to class. ‘
His Holiness (aba) said in his address that Ahmadi women deserve to be the ones who rule the world. In fact, these young women are paving the way not only for other women but also for future generations.
Here at Jalsa, we had the opportunity to meet many leaders. Susan, the director of Humanity First, is one of them because she has a massive positive impact not only in Germany, but also in the world. She has been an Ahmadi. Muslim since 2008. She explains that women from the network travel to Africa for humanitarian projects. “We also have engineers, doctors and professors; they come from Germany, participate in projects and care like the men of Alhamdullah. It’s very special. ” At their booth, attendees can see a new virtual truth feature and stop in Benin and other countries, and literally see for themselves what those projects entail. ” For example, you can stop at our orphanage, you can stop in all the rooms and see how the young people stick to their categories at school. “
From high-performing academics to avid humanitarians, the Jalsa Women’s Site lacks inspiration, reminding us of the honor of being a component of this organization and fraternity.
The best parting recommendation of our sensible sister Laraib brings together each and every one of them in one sincerely true point: “You can do it. . . Just pray to God and God will make every thing imaginable, every step for you. Everything is imaginable. “
