Foreword

Dear Ansār Officers

Each Qā’id has provided a plan for his respective department in this handbook. Development of these
plans required time and effort. We hope that plans presented in this handbook will serve as the basic
guideline for various departments. It is also hoped that Zu’ama will make every effort to execute all
plans presented in this handbook. However, no effort can be successful without Allah’s help, therefore,
all efforts should start with earnest prayers for help and guidance from Almighty Allāh.

The Promised Messiah (peace be on him) writes:
“What I say is not an occasion for surprise; rather, it is an occasion for rendering thanks
to God. It is an occasion for renewing faith; certainty of faith, that is to say, God
Almighty through sheer Grace and Mercy, has fulfilled…you must render thanks to God.
You must prostrate again and again in gratitude to Him. This is the time your fathers
waited to see but it did not come. Generations went by and it did not come. It has come
for you. It is for you to be grateful…..” (Victory of Islām (January 1973 edition), Page 3)

Almighty Allah has provided countless prayers in the Holy Qur’ān. For example, Allah Says: “Our
Lord, grant us of our wives and children the delight of our eyes, and make us a model for the righteous.”
(Chapter 25 [Al-Furqan], Verse:75)

And then

“Our Lord, let not our hearts become perverse after Thou hast guided us; and bestow on us mercy from
Thyself; surely, Thou alone art the Bestower.” (Chapter: 3 [Aal-e-`Imran], Verse: 9)

Only those will be saved who become the beloved of Allah and that status can only be achieved through
prayer. Therefore, seek Almighty Allah’s help though prayers and this should be the first item on the
task list of every person who is serving Majlis in any capacity.

I am grateful to all who have dedicated time and attention to provide the tools contained in this
handbook. It is my sincere hope and prayer that they will help us to better comprehend our unity of
purpose, which in turn will highlight the importance for us to show deep gratitude to Almighty Allah in
allowing us to be Ahmadī Muslims, Amīn.
