How to connect with Khilafat

How to establish a deep connection with Khilafat

7 simple ways of becoming a devoted follower of Khilafat

Every year on May 27th we celebrate Khilafat day by going to the mosque, attending the event. Most of the time we get to hear speeches and poems and presentations regarding Khilafat. And then we get back home and go back into our day to day life routine. 

Khilafat Day is celebrated once every year, but just as we say, that in Islam everyday is mothers day, so is everyday Khilafat Day. We can not be grateful enough to Allah for this immense blessing He has bestowed upon us. So this year, please try to bring a change within yourself and truly try to connect with Khilafat on a deeper level. 

1.  Listen to the Friday sermon every weekThe Friday sermons are a means of communication between us and Khalifa-e-Waqt. His sermons are according to the modern times, answering questions and regulating our day to day lives. Listen to the Friday sermon with your utmost attention. Integrate the Prayers, that Huzur mentions, into your daily routine and implement his instructions immediately.  
2.  Write a letter, twice a monthStay in connection with Huzur (atba) by writing regularly to him. Short letters, which are directly to-the-point, typed on your computers. I would suggest having a template, so you don't have to start from scratch every time and it gets easier to write and read.
   Here is a good template for you.

3.  Pray for HuzoorRemember Huzur (atba) constantly in your prayers. Pray for his health, pray that Allah blesses his work immensely. Also pray that may we become the delight of his eyes, and that we become obedient followers of Khilafat. If we remember Huzur in our prayers, our love for him will be manifested into our hearts.
4.  Visit Huzur if you have the means for it.Try to visit Huzur every other year, these mulaqats just have their own special atmosphere and those minutes you will get to spend in the presence of the Khalifa will become the most memorable and enlightening moments of your life.
5.  Read Abid Khan Sahib's diaries about the travels of Khalifatul Masih V.These diaries give you a beautiful insight into Huzur's life. I honestly have no words for how amazing they are, just have a look for yourself.

6. Have pictures of the Khulafa in your homes.These pictures are a means of reminder for yourself and for the people living in your home, especially for children. The pictures are a subtle way of Tarbiyyat. And the "noor" they add to your homes is just a different kind of a blessing. 
7. The Khalifa of Islam website.A great resource to stay up to date of all of Huzurs sermons, speeches and visits. Everything in one place. I highly suggest downloading the app as well.
