I am not alone. That noble Lord the Almighty is with me. No one could be closer to me than Him. It is only by His Grace that I have been granted a loving soul, ever willing to server His cause in the face of suffering; so that I should render with zeal and sincerity, outstanding services in the cause of faith and carry out to victory, great (spiritual) expeditions for Islam. He has commissioned me to accomplish all this, and none can make me desist from pursuing this cause.

Hadhrat Khalīfatul Masīh III ra says:

Every Ahmadī should recite the Holy Qur’an in the morning

You should love Holy Qur’an more than anything else in the world. But I see that Jamā'at is not paying full attention to this…………in each Ahmadī house any person who can read Holy Qur’an, should be re-citing the Holy Qur’an in the morning

There is no doubt that laws of universe are not going to change. Each day starts and finishes on the assigned time. But there are always some important events occur in each nation that will be remembered forever. And due to these reason the day that event occurs become important.

One of the most important day is March 23, 1989, when Hadhrat Masīh Mau'ūd as initiated first Bai'at at the house of Hadhrat Sofi Ahmad Jan ra in Ludhiana (India). On this very blessed day, Alhumdolillah 40 members took the Bai'at (became first 40 Ahmadīs).

The blessed day of March 23 remind us the about the pledge that was taken 122 years ago by small group with Hadhrat Masīh Mau'ūd as. The part of this pledge is

“Today on the hand of Ahmad as

I seek forgiveness of all the sins and bad habits that I was involved with, and with my pure heart and firm faith I pledge that I will try to stay away from all sins till the last day of my life. And I will prefer religion over the worldly comforts and wishes.

In this era God the Almighty has given the true Islam in Ahmadiyyat by Hadhrat Masīh Mau'ūd as. We as Ahmadī Tifl should be proud of ourselves. Today’s Atfāl will be the one who are going to win the heart of people and spread the message of Islam. May Allah Almighty grant us the courage and power to abide by our pledge. (Ameen)

All the speeches were kept small and to the point and Atfāl were at random asked to summarize the presented material.
