Travelling the world during the Pandemic Abid Khan Sahib’s Diary Alhamdulillah, ever since that first Virtual Mulaqat, we have been able to resume the weekly programme ‘This Week with Huzoor’ and have in the past few months had the honour to show Huzoor’s meetings with various National Majlis-eAmilas, Missionaries, the auxiliary organisations, Jamia and Waqf-e-Nau classes amongst others. There have been occasional moments during the virtual Mulaqats where there have been some slight technical issues, yet overall, these meetings have progressed smoothly and each week it has felt as though I am travelling with Huzoor to places new and old. Indeed, a day before his meeting with Jamia Ahmadiyya Indonesia, Huzoor said to me that: “Tomorrow there is a class with the Indonesian Jamia and so you can visit Indonesia with me tomorrow, whilst sitting here.” In response, I said that: “Jazak’Allah Huzoor! And I pray that one day I am able to physically travel with you to Indonesia.” In each Mulaqat the participants have been blessed with the wisdom, guidance and prayers of Khalifa-Waqt. Jamaat Amilas have been motivated and received the answers to their issues. Missionaries, including those who have qualified and those who are still studying in Jamia, have received the direct guidance of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih. With patience and love, Huzoor gives time to
all participants to speak to him and answers as many questions as is possible. Many of the meetings have overrun and yet still the feedback received from the participants is that they wished the meetings could have continued even longer. It is also noticeable how much interest and concern Huzoor has for those who attend. At the start of almost every meeting, Huzoor has confirmed if the participants are sitting in a Covid-secure environment and complying with the laws and official guidance in their countries. Similarly, Huzoor often asks if those present have been suitably fed. Recently, a member of Atfalul Ahmadiyya who participated in a virtual Mulaqat, wrote to me that he and the other boys were asked to arrive two hours before the start of the Mulaqat and that the hall they were seated in was particularly cold. He wrote that as soon as the meeting started, he forgot about any discomfort and just enjoyed the blessing of meeting with Huzoor. Later, I mentioned this to Huzoor. I was looking at the boy’s comment through the lens of his love for Khilafat and how the meeting had left a strong impression upon him and increased
