Conclusion: All ladies and girls, who come into the rivers of piety and sanctity, they have the capacity to take away the sins from other people. You have got a special identity. The status of an Ahmadi lady is much higher than others. When you have accepted the Imam of the Age, worldly things do not influence you. You have made a covenant that you will follow the teaching of the Holy Qur’an - in a practical way you will follow it - and you will not spare any sacrifice to bring people under the banner of the Holy Prophetsaw. How will you be ready for sacrifices when you follow the worldly pleasures and so called freedoms? Look in to your own self, into your heart. Try to employ all means to increase your faith. The worldly things that come on the screen should not be attracting your attention, or the fashions of the worldly people. 23 3/9/2021

Conclusion cont: The revolution about which you are talking has got nothing to do with the worldly things. Those women who talk about rights of women are only concerned with their worldly rights – only secular and worldly knowledge. There is no spiritually in their revolution. When an Ahmadi lady speaks of the revolution they have the love of Allah in their mind. Your education is so that you can look after your children very well. This task has been entrusted to you. You cannot do it if your own example is not there. You must increase your spiritual knowledge. Your revolution is not a temporary one. It will be something, which will protect the whole world from vices. It will be such a revolution that will bring you and your generations closer to Allah Almighty. 24 3/9/2021
