All the participants should rectify and remove any weaknesses and come forward if the workers need any help.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF VOLUNTEERS August 3 rd 2018 Jalsa Salana UK 2018 The first matter for the attention of the workers is that they have presented themselves to serve those people, who have come to participate in the Jalsa initiated by the Promised Messiah (as) upon the command of God Almighty. The workers should always remember that no matter what attitude the guests may have, those who are serving must care for their feelings and sentiments while exhibiting the highest morals. Even if a guest or a participant were to adopt a wrong attitude, it is still the duty of the worker to keep his passions under control and not to reply with the same attitude. The Holy Prophet (sa) was most respectful to his guests and God Almighty has mentioned the most excellent model of the Holy Prophet (sa) regarding hospitality.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF VOLUNTEERS August 3 rd 2018 Jalsa Salana UK 2018 Those who are on duty should demonstrate the highest morals in every department and wherever they are offering duties.

The workers should make it incumbent upon themselves that whatever the conduct of the other person may be, they should always have a smile on their faces. anger. This outwardly state also has an impact on their hearts and as a result, they will not develop any harshness in their hearts. These very morals will be the means of informing the non-Ahmadi guests in attendance of the high morals taught by Islam. This is a silent manner of Tabligh.

DUTIES OF GUESTS July 13 th 2018 Jalsa Salana UK 2018 By the grace of God Almighty, the workers serve every guest wholeheartedly. They render their services for the guests of the Promised Messiah (as) with an ardent devotion. Even if you observe any minor shortcomings and flaws, then ignore them and keep this purpose in mind that we have merely gathered here in order to listen to the teachings of God Almighty, His Messenger (sa) and of His religion. If a guest notices shortcoming in a certain department, then they should write to the person in charge of the department instead of quarrelling with the workers. . Even if the shortcoming is not removed or improved this year, Jama’at will be mindful of it for the coming year. This is the beauty of the system of the Jama’at that whatever flaws and shortcomings are highlighted, efforts are then made to improve them for the future.

DUTIES OF GUESTS August 3 rd 2018 Jalsa Salana UK 2018 Holy Prophet (sa) said that one of the good morals taught by Islam is that a believer refrains from idle and unnecessary speech. In this Jalsa, which the Promised Messiah (as) has declared to be solely for the sake of God, we should refrain from every kind of idle speech and time wasting. You should listen to the proceedings attentively. Even if those delivering the speech are not of your preferred choice, however the topics of the speeches are chosen so that they can be of benefit to everyone. Do not leave the Jalsa Gah [main arena of the Jalsa Salana] unless there is an urgent need to do so. The attendance in all other programmes should be as much as it is right now so the children and youth are able to realise the importance of Jalsa Salana and they are able to connect with faith and strive in this way.

DUTIES OF GUESTS July 13 th 2018 Jalsa Salana UK 2018 Those people who drive here should cooperate with the administration and they should park their cars where and how they are instructed to do so. In terms of management there is a department of hygiene and cleanliness. Particular attention needs to be direct to this as well. From a security point of view you must keep an eye on your surroundings. Whether you are in the Jalsa Gah or outside anyone can cause mischief so one must remain vigilant of this. These days due to the lack of rain, the grass has become very dry resulting into a fire hazard. Therefore, all preventive measures should be observed. There is also the complaint from the ladies that during the speeches in the main marquee some women continue to chat amongst themselves, this is not acceptable.
