Friday Sermon / Jumuah Khutba [خطبہ جمعہ ] 3 June 2022 -by Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (ATBA)
حضرت ابوبکر صدیقؓ
خطبہ جمعہ 3؍ جون 2022ء
فرمودہ حضرت مرزا مسرور احمد، خلیفۃ المسیح الخامس ایدہ اللہ تعالیٰ بنصرہ العزیز

After reciting Tashahhud, Ta‘awwuz and Surah al-Fatihah, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (aba) said that he would continue highlighting incidents from the life of Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) and his battles with the hypocrites after the demise of the Holy Prophet (sa).

In this Friday sermon His Holiness (aba) discussed the following topics:

- Valour of Zaid bin Khattab (ra) 
His Holiness (aba) said that the flag bearers of the various battalions exhibited exemplary standards of bravery. For example, Zaid bin Khattab (ra) urged the Muslims to fight fearlessly and vowed that he would not speak until the enemy was defeated or he was martyred. After this he was martyred.

- Musailimah Flees During the Battle of Yamamah
His Holiness (aba) said in the Battle of Yamamah Musailimah and his army stood firm, and it was determined that the battle would not end until Musailimah was killed. Hence, Hazrat Khalid (ra) called people from Musailimah’s army one by one for individual battle and proceeded to defeat them. Then, Hazrat Khalid (ra) called Musailimah for battle, and as Hazrat Khalid (ra) was proving victorious, Musailimah fled and his people followed. 
- Narration of Wahshi Killing Musailimah
The Muslims fought and defeated many of the hypocrites, and Wahshi launched the same spear towards Musailimah which he had used to martyr Hazrat Hamzah (ra) in the Battle of Uhud. His Holiness (aba) said that there are various accounts as to who finally martyred Musailimah and as to whether it was a joint effort.

- Plea for Prayers in Light of Increasing Cruelties Against Ahmadis
His Holiness (aba) urged the Community to pray for Pakistan; where the country is generally in turmoil, however they also continue resorting to inflicting hardships upon Ahmadis. Opposition continues to grow and now they have started the cruel practice of exhuming graves. His Holiness (aba) also drew attention towards prayers for Ahmadis in Algeria and Afghanistan.

- Funeral Prayers 
His Holiness (aba) said that he would lead the funeral prayers of the following deceased members:

He was then stationed in the USA and served as Missionary In-charge. He was again stationed in Switzerland, however, on the advice of doctors, he was advised to rest, upon which His Holiness (aba) advised him to tend to his health and that services would be taken from him again when he recovered, however his illness only increased.
