guests.

However, there was one complaint about the food; that it was stale and smelled unpleasant.

There was an isolated incidence where the security department was not as polite as they should be.

The facilities within the toilet were patchy; Jalsa management should be mindful of this in future.

Apart from these minor matters everyone attending Jalsa has said that the organisation was much better

than previous years and was of a high standard.

Prayers should be made for Pakistani Ahmadis. Tomorrow is 7 September and our opponents

commemorate the day by taking out rallies etc. where abusive language is used for the Jama’at and

the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace).

May God swiftly chastise those who are using God’s beloved, ‘mercy for all the worlds’ for their wrongful

objectives.

This year they plan to extend their events over a week, under the banner of Khatm e Nabauwat

[Finality of Prohethood].

The management and the workers deserved to be thanked. May God reward them all!
