On March 28, 2026, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul-Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) held a meeting in Islamabad with members of Nasiratul Ahmadiyya (Ahmadiyya Muslim Girls’ Association) and Lajna Ima’illah (Ahmadiyya Muslim Women’s Association) from Finland.
During the session, all participants had the opportunity to speak directly with His Holiness, introduce their background and roles within their community and ask a range of questions regarding their faith and contemporary issues.
A nine year-old attendee asked why it is important to recite the Holy Qur’an daily and what benefits it holds. He responded:
“The Holy Qur’an is the Word of Allah. Allah revealed this Book to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Allah has commanded us to recite it, promising that He will bless us, grant us rewards, and guide us to do good deeds. It protects us from wrong actions and purifies the person. Even for those who do not fully understand it, such as children, recitation brings benefit. By the blessings of Allah, it protects them from wrongdoing. …
“When one recites the Holy Qur’an and reflects upon its meanings, Allah the Almighty teaches what is good and what is wrong. Good deeds are rewarded, while wrong deeds have consequences. As one grows older, it is important to learn the translations so that one can understand the guidance fully and benefit from it.”
