On the\nsecond day of U.K. Convention (7th<\/sup> August), Ahmadiyya Khalifa Hazrat\nMirza Masroor Ahmad delivered an address for the Ahmadi Ladies, the gist of\nwhich as below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahmadiyya\nKhalifa said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays,\nsuch a notion of so-called freedom has taken hold in the name of enlightenment,\nwhich, rather than ensuring enlightenment, is in fact a means of pushing people\nfurther into the darkness. It is a superficial and shallow concept, that nobody\nhas even cared to compare its real impact; its supposed benefits and harm.\nAspects of this so-called freedom and enlightenment have more harm than\nbenefits. It is being completely ignored that in the name of this so-called\nenlightenment and freedom, the future of posterity is being jeopardized, which\nis not only causing people to fall into the pits of darkness but also pushing\ntheir future generations into them. This so-called freedom is being extensively\npropagated and exploited through social media. It is being presented in a way\nthat people seem to have given up their faculty of thinking, which would enable\nthem to think as to what destruction they are calling upon themselves. When\nworldly people try to save themselves from evil, they fall into another evil,\nfor their spiritual eyes are closed. Moreover, worldliness and a detachment\nfrom religion have pushed people so far away from religion, that they do not\neven wish to take religion into any consideration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for\nthe religion of Islam, generally, very harsh criticism is levelled against it.\nIslam is particularly targeted in this regard. The teaching of Islam is\ndescribed as outdated, which does not have any room in this modern world. This\nis what is said about Islam. However, in fact, it is only the religion of\nIslam, that has teachings that stipulate the rights of everyone in the society.\nIt gives guidance on freedom as well as its bounds and limits. It also guides\nus as to how there can be a balance between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I\nwould like to mention certain things with regard to women. Generally, an\nallegation is raised against Islam that it does not give rights to women. This\ncriticism is unfounded and stems from ignorance of the teachings of\nIslam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most\nfundamental Islamic principle with regards to rights is that one should not\nmerely emphasize gaining more rights. Rather one should also pay full attention\nto fulfilling the rights owed to others in order to establish an atmosphere of\npeace and tranquility in society and everyone should also fulfil their\nrespective obligations. Where on the one hand, Islam explains the rights of\neveryone, on the other hand, it also expounds everyone\u2019s responsibilities.\nIslam does not only tell women that they should attain their rights, but it\nalso warns them with regards to realizing their status and safeguarding\nthemselves from all evil. The Islamic teaching with regards to rights is such\nthat it cannot be matched by any other religious teaching or worldly law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahmadiyya\nKhalifa then outlined the Islamic teachings on marriage in Islam, on the rights\nowed to the family, on the just and kind treatment of women and the equal\nspiritual rewards for women in Islam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
