Muhammad Ali Ahmad, UK
On 6 December 2024, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa inaugurated Sara-e-Masroor, the new guest house of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya UK. The guest house is located in the village of Elstead, approximately three miles from Islamabad, Tilford. It comprises four bedrooms, a drawing room, a dining room, a kitchen, three bathrooms, and a garage. It was purchased last year for £635,000.
Huzooraa arrived at the guest house at approximately 5:45 pm and was welcomed by Sadr Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya UK, Abdul Quddus Arif Sahib, and members of the National Amila. Upon arrival, Huzooraa unveiled a commemorative plaque at the entrance of the guest house.
Following this, Huzooraa conducted a detailed tour of the premises. Huzooraa began with the garage, located at the front of the house. Sadr Sahib informed Huzooraa about plans to convert the garage into an additional residential room. Huzooraa then inspected the kitchen, dining room and conservatory. In the kitchen, Atif Khalil Sahib, Naib Sadr Majlis was present, so Huzooraa graciously conversed with him and inquired about his family background. Huzooraa inquired about the four chairs placed around the dining table and whether this was where guests would dine. Sadr Sahib explained that additional dining arrangements could be made in the adjacent conservatory for visiting guests. Thereafter, Huzooraa proceeded to the rear garden, where the Amila members and the regional qaideen had gathered. Huzooraa graciously inquired about those present and Sadr Sahib introduced them. When Sadr Sahib introduced Samar Malik Sahib as Mohtamim Khidmat-e-Khalq, Huzooraa commented that Samar Sahib had lost weight due to taking part in Khidmat-e-Khalq work. To another member and Waqif-e-Zindagi, Huzooraa asked about his current posting and place of residence. Some additional amila members were present in the conservatory, including Umar Hassan Sahib, who is serving as Muavin Sadr and oversees the Jaidad (Property) department of the Majlis. Huzooraa graciously conversed with him, asking about his family background. After this, Huzooraa then proceeded to the first floor to inspect the four bedrooms, and there, Huzooraa inquired about various details regarding the beds, bedding and other facilities.
After the inspection, Sadr Sahib invited Huzooraa for tea, however, Huzooraa graciously instructed that tea be distributed among all the khuddam and guests present. Huzooraa led everyone in silent prayer at the entrance of the guest house and returned to Islamabad at approximately 6 pm.
