On February 2, 2026, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul-Masih V (may Allah be his Helper), granted an audience to a delegation of new converts from Canada. During the meeting, delegates had the opportunity to introduce themselves and share their personal journey towards Islam Ahmadiyyat. Afterwards, Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) graciously permitted them to ask questions.
One attendee asked Huzoor-e-Anwar (may Allah be his Helper) how new converts can best propagate the teachings of Islam and Ahmadiyyat. He responded:
“By displaying your good actions. If, as an Ahmadi Muslim, you do not exhibit good manners, do not fulfil the rights owed to the servants of God Almighty, and think that simply offering your prayers fulfills all that is required, there is no point in accepting it. The Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) has said that his followers must pay attention to two things: first, they must fulfil the rights of God Almighty, that is, worship Him and obey Him in everything, following His commandments and guidance as written in the Holy Qur’an. Second, they must fulfil the rights owed to mankind. The Holy Qur’an says that even with one’s enemy one should not depart from justice—so you must fulfil the rights even of your enemies. By fulfilling these rights, people will appreciate you and listen to you. In this way, you can gradually spread the message of Islam.”
“Theological arguments, such as that Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) has passed away and has not ascended to the heavens, or that Islam is the true religion, or that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the last prophet and this era was for the advent of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), are a separate matter entirely. People are largely indifferent to such arguments. … Instead, when someone observes the noble character of another, they are more likely to listen to the message being shared. … That is why propagation of faith should be conducted through actions rather than arguments. … Ahmadiyyat should not be merely a matter of argument; it should be a practice that transforms you from within. By demonstrating this in your conduct, you attract others. It should not be only ‘word of mouth’; you should be a practicing Muslim, fulfilling the rights of Allah and His people.”
