Gambian journalists seek answers for world peace from Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V
Hadith-e-Rasul – Sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa
The supplication of the oppressed َ َ ُ َ ّٰ ّٰ َ َّ َ ْ َ اس َر ِض َى الل ُه ع ْنه أ ّن َر ُس ْول الل ِه ٍ ع ِن اب ِن عب َ َ َ َ َّ َ َ َ ُ ّ ٰ َّ َ َ صلى الله عل ْي ِه و َسل َم بَعﺚ ُمعاذ بْ َن َج َب ٍل ِإلى ُ ْ ْ َ ْ َّ َ َ َ ْ ْ َ َّ َ ال َي َم ِن ﻓقال ات ِﻖ َدع َوة ال َمﻈ� ْ� ِم ﻓ ِﺈن َها ل� َس ٰ ْ َ َ َ ٌ َاللّه �ِ ج اب ِ ب َ ْينها وبَي َن
Hazrat Ibn Abbasra narrated, “The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, sent Muaz bin Jabal to Yemen, and said, ‘Beware of the supplication of the oppressed, for indeed, there is no barrier between it and Allah.’”
On 22 May 2021, 15 journalists from the Gambia gathered to join a virtual meeting with Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa. The journalists desired to ask questions to Hazrat Khalifatul Masihaa. The first journalist thanked Huzooraa for the opportunity and noted that it was his fourth meeting with Huzooraa. On this, Huzooraa smiled and remarked, “And the first virtual mulaqat”. The journalist referenced Hazrat Amirul Momineen’s book, World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace, and said that Huzooraa had paid a lot of emphasis on global peace. He asked about the importance of justice and why it was crucial to speak out against injustices. In response, Huzooraa said: “Not only with regard to world affairs do you have to maintain justice and establish justice, but in every sphere of life, you have to show justice.

The state of the deeds and actions of our Noble Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, clearly demonstrate this. In fact, the sphere of his light and blessings is so vast that his manifestation and reflection can be observed to extend into all eternity. As such, all the bounty and grace of God Almighty that is being sent down in this day and age is received through obedience and subservience to none Continued on page 2 Photo credit: MTA International
