Introduction
In order to properly follow any system, it is of utmost importance to understand and
comprehend its fundamentals. The Handbook of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya Canada has
been designed to help and understand the basic structure of the organization from the grass
root up. This Handbook is an excellent source of information about the functions of various
departments in Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya and their roles within the organization.
In this publication, the focus is to teach the office bearers of Regions, Majalis Muqami, and
Halqa on how to execute their responsibilities in the best possible manner.

Preface
By the grace of Allah, the 5th edition of the Handbook, containing the Constitution and Guidelines of
Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya Canada is being published. It is intended to give guidelines to office
bearers on the structure of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya within the Jama'at and its pivotal role. This
handbook comprises of the latest updates to the Guidelines and Constitution of Majlis Khuddamul
Ahmadiyya Canada. The criteria of Alm Inàmi and the reporting system for Majalis have been
revised.
The founder of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya, Hadrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad (Khalifatul
Masih II)
has advised us that:
Life of every nation depends on its youth. No matter how hard an effort is made to initiate a task,
unless consistent efforst are made towards the task, it shall end up in failure. Though, our
organization is a spiritual one, however, the aforementioned rule is also divine and therefore equally
applicable to us as well. Hence, it is our obligation to make you aware of these responsibilities which
will be laid upon you and inform you of the ways that will lead you to your designation. It is your
responsibility to listen to our words with full attention and try to act upon them so that we all have
an opportunity to fulfill the guardianship that has been entrusted to us by Allah.
Remember your duty is not only to reform yourself, but you are also responsible for the
reformation of future generations and advise them to think of their generations. This series of
guardianship should transfer from one generation to the next so that the river of bounties flowing
from Allah keeps on running forever and we are the ones to complete the task for which Adam and
his progeny were created. May Allah be with you. Ameen.. (Mashal Rah, Volume I, Preface Page H)
May Allah give us the ability to carry out our duties as per the instructions and desire of Hadrat
Khalifatul Masih
. Ameen.

A Servant of God is in Search of You!

1. Can you work hard? So much that you can work for 13 to 14 hours a day!
2. Do you speak the truth? To the extent that you will not lie in any case, nor can your
friends and relatives dare to lie in front of you. And, if anyone tells you a false story of his
bravery you cannot remain without showing your displeasure.
3. Are you free from the feelings of false ego? Can you clean your streets? Would you walk
on the streets carrying load on yourself? Can you make announcements with a loud voice
in markets? Can you travel for a whole day and stay awake the whole night?
4. Can you perform I`tikaf? which means :
i.
to sit in one place for a few days.
ii.
to meditate for hours and hours.
iii.
not to talk to anyone for hours/days.
5. Can you travel carrying your load, without any money in your pocket?
6. Can you travel among enemies, rivals, and strangers, for days, weeks or months?
7. Do you agree that some people cannot be defeated? They do not even like to hear the
word defeat. They are prepared to bring down mountains and Control Rivers! Do you
think that you will be prepared for such sacrifices?
8. Do you have the courage to say Yes when the whole world is saying No? Can you
remain serious when everyone else is laughing around you? Can you stand courageously
instead of running away from a mob that advances towards you with the intent to
persecute you? You do not stand by the side of those who lie but make everyone else
stand by your side as you are the truthful.
9. You do not say that I worked hard but God did not grant me success. Instead, you see
your own fault in every failure. You believe that those who work hard always succeed and
the one who does not succeed, has never worked hard.
If you are this person then you have the capability of becoming a good missionary and a
merchant.
But where are you?
A servant of God is in search of you since a long time!
O' Ahmadi young man! Look for that man in your province, in your city, in your area,
in your house and in your heart!
Mirza Mahmood Ahmad
(Al-Musleh Al-Mauùd )

INTRODUCTION TO MAJLIS KHUDDAMUL AHMADIYYA
A Message of
Hadrat Khalifatul Masih II
for the Youth of Ahmadiyyat
Anyone who is part of Majlis Khuddamul

Ahmadiyya should pledge that he shall
consider
himself
Ahmadiyyat
and
to
be
pillar
if he stumbles
of
even
slightly, Ahmadiyyat would suffer a great

loss.
(Mashal Rah, Volume 1, Page 29-30)

Introduction to Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya

Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya is a spiritual organization that was established by Hadrat
Musleh Mauùd
, Khalifatul Masih II, on 1317 hijri (1938 A.D). Every Ahmadi male
between the ages of 15 and 40 years is a member of this Majlis and is referred to as a
Khadim.
Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya is also responsible for youths between the ages of seven and
fifteen. These youths are managed by an auxiliary organization of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya
called Majlis Atfalul Ahmadiyya and the member of this auxiliary organization is referred to as
a Tifl.
The objectives of this Majlis are to train and educate the Khuddam and Atfal in Islamic ways
and to inculcate in them the love of the Allah and the Holy Prophet
, the spirit of serving
Islam, country and mankind and to strive for their welfare.
The overall in-charge of both organizations is Sadr Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya who
provides guidance to them using the constitution, guidelines and instructions of Hadrat
Khalifatul Masih
.
To facilitate the work of the Majlis, various departments have been created to assist Sadr
Majlis. The National office bearers are as follows:

Under the instructions and guidelines of the National Office Bearers, Majalis conduct their
respective programs within their own areas.
The year of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya starts on November 1st and ends on October 31st of the
following year. Those boys, who turn seven years of age during the year, join Majlis Atfalul
Ahmadiyya at the start of the year on November 1st and those Atfal who turn fifteen years of
age become members of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya from November 1st. Similarly, those
Khuddam who are turning forty years of age during the year become members of the
Ansarullah on January 1st of the following year (The year of Majlis Ansarullah starts in
January)

Local (Muqami) Majlis Responsibilities

Any city or area where more than one Khadim resides or one Khadim or two Atfal reside, a
Majlis may be formed. The leader of a Majlis is referred to as Qaid Majlis and members of
his Majlis Àmila are called Nazimeen. Each Nazim is responsible for the overall management
of his department. It is mandatory for each and every Majlis to submit a monthly report to
National Markaz using the prescribed reporting system.
Halqa
If the area of a Majlis is too large or there are too many Khuddam in a Majlis making it
difficult for them to get together on a regular basis, then the Majlis maybe divided into
Halqajat. The in-charge of each Halqa is called Zaìm Halqa and members of his Majlis
Àmila are called Muntazimeen.
Hizb
All Khuddam in a Majlis are divided into smaller groups with approximately ten Khuddam in
each group. A person is appointed as an in-charge for every group. This person is called a
Saiq. Every Khadim whether he is a Qaid Majlis or any other office bearer must be part of a
Hizb. A Hizb is the most fundamental block and the strength of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya. Thus,
the establishment of Ahzab requires detailed attention.
Each Saiq follows the instructions of the Qaid Majlis and Zaìm Halqa by maintaining regular
contact with the Khuddam assigned to him. A Saiq ensures that the Khuddam in his Hizb are
actively participating in the activities of the Majlis and provides them with guidance when
required.
Office Bearers and their appointments
Qaid Majlis and Zaìm Halqa are elected and their approval is given by Sadr Majlis
Khuddamul Ahmadiyya. Qaid is elected for a period of two years and a Zaìm Halqa is
elected for one year.
The Qaid Majlis forms his Majlis Àmila consisting of Nazimeen and submits it to Sadr Majlis
Khuddamul Ahmadiyya for approval.
The Zaìm Halqa forms his Majlis Àmila consisting of Muntazimeen and submits it to Qaid
Majlis for approval.
Nazim Atfal also forms his Majlis Àmila to administer and manage the affairs of Majlis Atfalul
Ahmadiyya Muqami and seeks approval of the Majlis Àmila from Qaid Majlis.
Regional/Ìlaqa Responsibilities
Regional/Ìlaqa Qaid is responsible for all the affairs of Majalis within his Region/Ìlaqa. It is
the responsibility of the Regional/Ìlaqa Qaid to evaluate the Majalis within his Region and
ensure that the instructions of National Markaz are being followed. Furthermore, he should
motivate the members of those Majalis in his Region which are falling behind. Regional/Ilaqa
Qaid must form his Majlis Àmila and seek its approval from Sadr Majlis Khuddamul
Ahmadiyya. Members of the Regional/Ìlaqa Qaids Àmila are referred to as Regional/Ìlaqa
Nazimeen.

Guidelines for Office Bearers
GUIDELINES FOR OFFICE BEARERS
Tawazan
(Balance)
Hadrat Musleh Mauùd
says:
Let it be known to all Khuddam that they are not only

members of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya but are members of
local Jamaàt as well. The work of Khuddamul
Ahmadiyya has been assigned to you in addition to
the work of local Anjuman. Therefore it is
mandatory for every Khadim to follow the
instructions of the office bearer of local Anjuman
regardless of whether he is a secretary or a
president. However no secretary or president is
authorized
to
give
instructions
to
Khuddamul
Ahmadiyya. He can not call Khuddam individually and
say do this work so president of a local Anjuman can not
call Khuddam as members of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya and
say do that work. If he needs help from Khuddamul
Ahmadiyya, he should ask Zaim that I need Khuddam
for some work and it is the responsibility of Zaìm to
obey the instructions.
(Mashal Rah, Volume I, Page 487-488)

Introduction
Purpose
This section provides detailed guidelines for the office bearers of Majlis Khuddamul
Ahmadiyya Canada at the Muqami (Majlis) and Ìlaqa/Region levels, providing a systematic
and easy to understand exposition of their responsibilities.
Structure
For each office, a four part description is provided consisting of its purpose, reporting
structure, a list of duties as per the Constitution of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya and a brief
account of the tasks involved in carrying out the aforementioned duties.
Note: The duties and tasks should not be taken as the only objectives but rather they are
broad guidelines.
Expectations
It is expected that the office bearers will review these guidelines to obtain guidance and
direction to achieve the goals and objectives of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya.
We should remind ourselves of the importance attached to the work of Khuddamul
Ahmadiyya by Hadrat Khalifatul Masih II
The mission of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya is not ordinary mission. It is an

extremely important one!
(Mashal Rah, Volume 1, page 201)
He further goes on to say:
Nations cannot be reformed without the reformation of the youth

also mentions the need for continuous efforts:
For a nation to be successful, it is not enough that only one

PAGE 9
generation is looked after. Those programs that are longer are only
successful when continuous efforts are made by many generations in
order to complete these programs
(Mashal Rah, Volume 1, page 79)
At another occasion he mentions:
That day is near when those who work for Ahmadiyyat will acquire
stature. But, the children of those who do not take interest in Jamaàt
work now will be shunned. When nations like England and America
will send their representatives for advice and they will consider this to
be source of respect for them, then the children of these people will
ask to be included in the advices. But, then they will be told, Go! your
parents and grandparents rejected the advices in their time and did
not care about the work of Jamaàt, hence you cannot be included in
this process either.
PAGE 10
Therefore, remove this ignorance and create this awareness in you

that a person who attends a meeting of Jamaàt is rewarded so much
that the membership of the council of America is nothing in front of it.
Even if he must make hundred compromises to attend this meeting, he
must do so. If he does not attend the meeting than the system of
Jamaàt will not suffer because of his absence, rather he will be
deprived of the rewards of Allah
(Majlis Shura 1956, page 24-25)
Feedback
These guidelines are constantly under review. Readers are encouraged to provide their
comments to the National Markaz and help in making these guidelines as practical and
beneficial as possible.
PAGE 11
Qaid Majlis
Purpose
A Qaid Majlis is responsible for supervising all the affairs of Majlis Muqami and is also
expected to represent and lead the Khuddam of his Majlis.
Reporting Structure
Reports directly to Sadr Majlis, National Majlis Àmila and Regional Qaid.
As a member of Majlis Àmila of local Sadr Jamaàt, also reports to Sadr Jamaàt for
assigned local duties.
Duties
Responsible for ensuring that all decisions and instructions of Majlis Àmila and
National Markaz are implemented.
Duties as per Constitution

133. Qaid shall supervise all affairs of Majlis Muqami.
134. He shall be responsible to have all the instructions of the National office bearers
implemented.
135. He shall be authorized to make a decision concerning the interpretation of the rules
of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya. A member shall have the right to appeal to Sadr
against this decision through the Qaid.
136. Receipts of expenditure shall necessarily be signed by Nazim Mal Muqami and the
Qaid.
137. Qaid shall have the power to reject majority decision concerning local affairs. But in
case Majlis Àmila Muqami demands, Qaid shall be bound to inform Sadr Majlis of it
within a week.
138. Qaid shall be authorized to suspend or dismiss the office bearers nominated by him.
In case of dismissal, he shall intimate the Sadr Majlis of it. The Qaid can only
suspend an elected office-bearer but must intimate the Sadr Majlis within three
days.
139. If needed, the Qaid shall be authorized to appoint any member of his Majlis Àmila
to officiate in his place. If such an appointment is for a period extending beyond
fifteen days, its approval shall be sought from the National Headquarters.
140. Qaid shall be authorized to grant approval of the nominated office bearers of Halqa.
Qualities of a Qaid Majlis
A responsible, disciplined, trustworthy Khadim who abides by the Order of the Majlis
and is willing to help the members of his Majlis by taking a pro-active role in all
matters concerning Khuddam and Atfal.
A motivator who leads by example and understands that in order to be a good leader,
he must be a good follower.
Above all, the most exemplary quality of a Qaid is his absolute obedience to Nizam
Jamaàt. This attribute alone will guarantee success for a Qaid and ensure that his
team is also humble and obedient to the Nizam Jamaàt.
PAGE 12
Goals of a Qaid Majlis
The most important goal for a Qaid Majlis is to ensure maximum participation of
Khuddam in prayers, programs and activities organized by the Jamaàt/Majlis.
Expected to be a goal oriented person, who not only fulfills the goals set by National
Markaz, but sets and fulfills his own goals.
He should set deadlines for goals, monitor the progress or lack thereof, and make
adjustments as required. For example, he may set a goal to visit at least 20 Khuddam
per week and monitor his progress with a monthly review. Similarly, he should set and
monitor the goals for his Majlis Àmila.
He should plan and set goals to improve the general Ta`lim, Tarbiyat, Health and
Economy of Khuddam.
Be a leader who anticipates the future requirements of National Markaz and that of his
Khuddam. He should plan accordingly to meet those requirements. For example, he
should build a team of 20-25% of Khuddam in his Majlis who can be made available on
a very short notice for any Waqar Àmal or Khidmat Khalq duties.
He should be well informed about the geography and demographics of his Majlis and
surrounding areas, utilizing this knowledge to plan better Khidmat Khalq and Tabligh
activities while assisting the National Markaz in its various activities and programs.
He is expected to keep track of Khuddam moving into or out of his Majlis.
Ensure that the system of Saìqin is established through Zaìm Halqa. A Saiq is the
link between the organization body and a Khadim. The success of a Majlis is
determined by the successes of the Saiq.
Available Resources
Various resources are available to the Qaid Majlis when he requires guidance and
direction in carrying out his responsibilities. An escalation path exists to address any
challenges that may be faced by a Qaid Majlis in the course of his work.
The first and foremost resource available to a Qaid Majlis is the book of Guidelines of
Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya Canada. This book is an excellent source of information
on the departments of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya. Additional information is
available on the web site of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya www.khuddam.ca.
The second resource available to a Qaid Majlis is his Regional Qaid and/or Qaid
Ìlaqa. The Regional Qaid and his Majlis Àmila are responsible for providing support,
assistance and guidance to Qaid Majlis in carrying out his assigned responsibilities.
The third resource available to a Qaid Majlis is the National Majlis Àmila. All
members of the National Majlis Àmila are there to provide assistance in their
respective departments.
In addition to the above, the main resource and guidance available to a Qaid Majlis is
from Sadr Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya.
Team of a Qaid Majlis
To be effective, a Qaid Majlis must have a good team. This team includes his Majlis
Àmila and Zu`ma. Saìqin are a key player in Qaid Majliss team. The team must
consist of Khuddam who are able and willing to work as a team and individually.
Qaid Majlis shall form his Majlis Àmila, submit it to Regional Qaid and National
Markaz for approval by filling in the appropriate form. It is preferred that a Khadim be
PAGE 13
given only one department. Exceptions can be made after discussions with Regional
Qaid and/or Qaid Ìlaqa.
Changes to the Majlis Àmila can only be made after seeking approval from Sadr
Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya Canada. No Nazim can be replaced by a Qaid Majlis
without prior written approval of Sadr Majlis.
Nazimeen Muqami and Zu`ma Halqa will report to Qaid Majlis and be present in all
meetings of the Majlis Àmila of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya Muqami.
Personal Contact
To strengthen the Majlis, a Qaid Majlis must contact his Khuddam by personally
visiting them on a regular basis.
Qaid Majlis & Local Jamaàt
A Qaid Majlis is a member of the local Jamaàt Àmila as per the rules of Tahrik
Jadid.
A Qaid Majlis is incharge of those members of the Jamaàt who belong to Khuddamul
Ahmadiyya and is responsible for providing assistance for activities of the local
Jamaàt, where required.
Halqajat & Zu`ma
Halqajat must be established to ensure the activities of a Majlis are conducted in an

effective manner.
The leader of a Halqa, the Zaìm, will be elected with his approval sought from
National Markaz. His Àmila members consist of Muntazimeen and Saìqin.
A Zaìm Halqa has the same roles and responsibilities as that of the Qaid Majlis, but
within his respective Halqa.
Zaìm Halqa is responsible for carrying out the directions given to the Majlis Muqami

with regards to the Tabligh Subcommittee meeting
mentions:
I want to inform everyone that this work should be reorganized from the beginning.
One meeting of Majlis Àmila is not enough. Such meetings will have to be called time
and again. Even if a few days of holidays are taken as an emergency to gather everyone
and sit day and night, it should be done. But, the objective should be that we cannot be
satisfied at our current situation because this is a huge task that we must accomplish.
And if we do not perform this, we would be living in dreams. (Friday Sermon, November
15, 1991)
To make the Àmila realize their responsibilities and their obligations, Hadrat
Khalifatul Masih IV
mentions:
Think about these things in every Majlis Àmila meetings. Sometimes think about one
aspect of it and implement the strategy, and at other times, think about another
aspect and implement the strategy. Do not get tired or lose heart until every Ahmadi
man or woman, adult or child, is involved in this in his own way To establish the
PAGE 16
goals of different parts of the Jamaàt, and to increase these goals where they are set
too low is the work of the administration It is the administration that is responsible

Àmila.(Friday Sermon, June 6, 1997)

SECTION IV
Annual Ijtima`
ANNUAL IJTIMA`
Annual Ijtima`
Introduction
The Annual Ijtima` is the most prestigious and grand event of a Majlis. The objective of
Ijtimaàt is to train and educate Khuddam and Atfal. Charging them, refreshing them
spiritually and physically and giving every member an opportunity to show his physical and
educational talents are only few of the benefits of these Ijtimaàt.
Ijtimaàt are held at various levels viz. Local, Regional and National Ijtima`.
Local Ijtima`
This is the annual gathering of Khuddam and Atfal of a Majlis Muqami. It is organized by
Majlis Muqami under the supervision of Qaìd Majlis.
Regional Ijtima`
This is the annual gathering of Khuddam and Atfal of a Region. It is organized by the Region
under the supervision of Regional Qaìd.
National Ijtima`
This is the annual gathering of Khuddam and Atfal of a country. It is organized by the
National Majlis under the supervision of Sadr Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya.
There are certain traditions attached to an Ijtima` that should be followed in order to
maintain the true color of Ijtima`. Following is a brief description of certain traditions and
highlights of an Ijtima`:
Ijtima` Site
Usually an outside site is selected where camping can be done. If a suitable site is not
available or is too expensive then Ijtima` can be held in a Mosque or Prayer Center. Some
requirements of a good Ijtima` site are:
Privacy
It is most important to select a site that is

isolated and privacy can be maintained. As this
event is only for members, holding it in a
public place will divert the attention of the
members as well as it will create a nonreligious atmosphere.
Safety
The site should be safe in all aspects. As young

children may be attending, the site should be
inspected very carefully.
Sleeping
Arrangement
Appropriate arrangement should be available

to accommodate all the participants. If
separate rooms are not available then it should
PAGE 56
ANNUAL IJTIMA`
be possible to accommodate everyone in the

main Hall or Marquee. Atfal should not be
accommodated with Khuddam. There should
be a camp site available to install camps.
Separate sleeping arrangements must be made
for Atfal.
Hall or site
for Marquee
Appropriate size halls should be available

separately for both Khuddam and Atfal. The
hall should have a good size stage, ample
chairs, tables and good ventilation or airconditioning. If halls are not available then
marquees can be installed. Separate marquees
should be arranged for both Khuddam and
Atfal.
Additional
Facilities
Sports fields, washrooms and showers, parking

facilities, kitchen, dining area are other aspects
that must be kept in mind when looking at an
Ijtima` location.
Duration of Ijtima
National Ijtima` is traditionally for three days. Regional or Local Ijtima` can be held as
one or two day events. If possible, Regional and local Majalis should try to hold their
respective Ijtimaàt for two or three days.
Registration & Reception

A registration desk should be setup for registering all the participants. The desk should
be open throughout the Ijtima`. The department of Mal should also setup a desk for
collection of the Membership and Ijtima` donations from the participants of the
Ijtima`. Attendance report of Khuddam and Atfal must be presented in opening and
closing session (to the chair person). A separate desk for Atfal helps in serving Atfal
better.
Attendees of the Ijtima

Ijtimaàt are intended for the Tarbiyat of Khuddam and Atfal and great care should be
given to ensure that maximum number of Khuddam and Atfal participate in the
Ijtima`. An Ijtima` is not intended to be a Tabligh event and as such Tabligh contacts
must not be brought to the Ijtima`.
Ijtima` Programme
There should be separate programme for Khuddam and Atfal. However, the opening
and closing sessions are combined together. Local language (English and French)

System of Transliteration
In transliterating Arabic words we have generally followed the system adopted by the Royal
Asiatic Society.
at the beginning of a word, pronounced as a, i, u, preceded by a very slight aspiration,
like `h in the English word `honour.
th, pronounced like `th in the English word `thing.
h, a guttural aspirate, stronger than h.
kh, pronounced like the Scotch `ch in `loch.
dh, pronounced like English `th in `that.
s, strongly articulated s.
d, similar to the English `th in `this.
t, strongly articulated palatal t.
z, strongly articulated z.
`, a strong guttural, the pronunciation of which must be learnt by the ear.
gh a sound approached very nearly in the r grasseye in French and in the
German 'r', it requires muscles of the throat to be in the `gargling position while
pronouncing it.
q, a deep guttural k sound
, a sort of catch in the voice
Short vowels are represented by:
a
for
(like ù in `bud)
for
(like ì in `bid)
for
(like òo in `wood)
PAGE 101
Long vowels are represented by:
for
and
(like à in `father)
for
