Practical distinctions of believing ladies

• They abstain from lies, deception and fraud
• They do not degrade others or deceive others
• They do not gossip about others behind their back
  and then say we did not say those things
• What ever they say from their mouth, that is what
  is in their heart
• They spend in His way without showing off

11
Hazurs advice

• All ladies and girls, who come into the rivers of
  piety and sanctity have the capacity to take away
  the sins from other people.
• 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 Quran - in a practical way
  
• and you will not spare any sacrifice to bring
  people under the banner of the Holy Prophetsaws.
• How will you be ready for sacrifices when you
  follow the worldly pleasures and so called
  freedoms? Peek in to your own self, into your
  heart. Try to employ all means to increase your
  faith.

12
Bring about a revolution

• 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 revolution, she has
  the love of Allah in her 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.

13

• Offer your own self in sacrifice. This is your
  means of salvation
• Your firm link with Allah Almighty is the real
  happiness.
• The path of closeness to Allah is endless.
• In the Khilafat centenary, you renewed your
  pledge.
• You have to establish the flag of the Holy
  Prophetsaws in all countries.
• You have to give all sacrifices for that jehad.
• Make your actions acceptable to God.
