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 In`ami 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.
VII
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?
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.
A Message of
Hadrat Khalifatul Masih II
for the Youth of Ahmadiyyat
PAGE 2
INTRODUCTION TO MAJLIS KHUDDAMUL AHMADIYYA
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)

INTRODUCTION TO MAJLIS KHUDDAMUL AHMADIYYA
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 Za`im Halqa and members of his Majlis
`Amila 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 Za`im 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.
Regional/`Ilaqa Responsibilities
Regional/`Ilaqa Qaid is responsible for all the affairs of Majalis within his Region/`Ilaqa. It is
the responsibility of the Regional/`Ilaqa 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 `Amila and seek its approval from Sadr Majlis Khuddamul
Ahmadiyya. Members of the Regional/`Ilaqa Qaids `Amila are referred to as Regional/`Ilaqa
Nazimeen.

SECTION II
Tawazan
(Balance)
Hadrat Musleh Mau`ud says:
Let it be known to all Khuddam that they are not only
members of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya but are members of
local Jama`at 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 Za`im to
obey the instructions.
PAGE 8
GUIDELINES FOR OFFICE BEARERS
Introduction
Purpose
This section provides detailed guidelines for the office bearers of Majlis Khuddamul
Ahmadiyya Canada at the Muqami (Majlis) and `Ilaqa/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.
Hadrat Musleh Mau`ud also mentions the need for continuous efforts:
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)
That day is near when those who work for Ahmadiyyat will acquire
stature. But, the children of those who do not take interest in Jama`at
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 Jama`at, hence you cannot be included in
this process either.

PAGE 12
GUIDELINES FOR OFFICE BEARERS
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
`Ilaqa. The Regional Qaid and his Majlis `Amila 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 `Amila. All
members of the National Majlis `Amila 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.
PAGE 13
GUIDELINES FOR OFFICE BEARERS
given only one department. Exceptions can be made after discussions with Regional
Qaid and/or Qaid `Ilaqa.
Changes to the Majlis `Amila 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 `Amila 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.
PAGE 14
GUIDELINES FOR OFFICE BEARERS
PAGE 15
GUIDELINES FOR OFFICE BEARERS
I want to inform everyone that this work should be reorganized from the beginning.
One meeting of Majlis `Amila 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 `Amila realize their responsibilities and their obligations, Hadrat
Khalifatul Masih IV mentions:
Think about these things in every Majlis `Amila 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
GUIDELINES FOR OFFICE BEARERS
goals of different parts of the Jama`at, and to increase these goals where they are set
too low is the work of the administration It is the administration that is responsible
to guide each person individually The general capabilities of Majlis `Amila should be
utilized Whatever I am saying or will say are the responsibilities of Majlis
`Amila.(Friday Sermon, June 6, 1997)
a Qaid must have an accurate picture of his Majlis at all times in all
departments.
Outdoor Activities
It is recommended that outdoor activities be held in the Majlis to promote brotherhood
amongst Khuddam.
These activities can be organized as picnics, BBQs, Kulu Jamiyya (Pot lucks) etc. The
main purpose of such activities is to provide Khuddam and Atfal an atmosphere where
they can get together and enjoy one anothers company.
These social activities are an excellent way of promoting spirit in the Majlis.

Annual Ijtima`
ANNUAL IJTIMA`
Annual Ijtima`
Introduction
The Annual Ijtima` is the most prestigious and grand event of a Majlis. The objective of
Ijtima`at 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 Ijtima`at.
Ijtima`at 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 Qa`id 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 Qa`id.
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:
PAGE 56
ANNUAL IJTIMA`
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 Ijtima`at for two or three days.
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.
Ijtima`at 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)
PAGE 57
ANNUAL IJTIMA`
should be used. The Ijtima` programme consists of many features some of which are:
Opening Session
The opening session is presided by Amir Jama`at, Sadr Majlis, Sadrs
representative or Sadr Jama`at. This session must have the following items in this
sequence:
Announcements can be made after the silent prayers have concluded to inform the
attendees about the upcoming programmes.
Talqin `Amal
Educational or Tarbiyati speeches are important part of the Ijtima`. Scholars should
be invited to deliver Tarbiyati speeches.
Educational Competitions
Educational competitions are not only very important part of Ijtima` but they are
also very popular sessions. Traditionally, Tilawat, Nazm, Azan, speech and
impromptu speech competitions are held. Memory test and message relay
competitions are also popular events of the Ijtima`. Bai`at Bazi is another
competition that is held if time permits. The topics for the Educational Competitions
are provided by National Markaz at the beginning of the year.
Sports Competitions
Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, Races and Tug of War are popular Ijtima` sports.
Wrist Wrestling, Kabbadi and some other sports are also played. Other sports can
also be added as long as the overall traditions of the Ijtima` are kept in mind.
Annual Reports
The Annual report of Khuddam and Atfal are presented at the Ijtima`. The purpose
of the report is to highlight the work done in each department during the course of
the year and inform members of the Majlis about the activities of the Majlis.
PAGE 58
ANNUAL IJTIMA`
Closing Session
The closing session is presided by Amir Jama`at, Sadr Majlis, Sadrs representative
or Sadr Jama`at. This session must have the following items in this sequence:
The Recitation of the Holy Quran and Nazm are traditionally done by the Khuddam
who stood first in the respective competitions with the translation being read by the
speech competition winners.
It is a tradition that all the participants join and help in cleaning the Ijtima` site
and winding every thing.
The above is only a brief outline of the Ijtima`. Majalis should develop the programme of
their Ijtima` following these guidelines. They should try their best to maintain the traditions
of this event, however, innovative ideas within our guidelines and boundaries are always
encouraged.

2. After the rules are read out, the members should be given an opportunity to ask any
questions with regards to the proceedings of the elections.

4. The minimum quorum needed is based on the total Tajnid of the Majlis. Khuddam who are
at work, out of city/country, ill, inactive etc. cannot be removed from the count to lower the
number of Khuddam needed to achieve the quorum restriction.
5. Inform the attendees about the minimum quorum requirements for the election and
whether the present attendance meets the criteria.
6. If the quorum restriction is not met, follow Rule No. 69.
7. When accepting names for the proposers, ask them to stand. For each proposed name, the
proposer must first give his name followed by the proposed name. Each name must be
seconded before proceeding to the next name. A person wishing to second a name should
quietly stand up, if he is already standing than he should raise his hand to indicate his
willingness to second the name.
8. If a proposed name is not seconded, it is automatically dropped from the election process.
9. Starting from the right hand side, ask the proposer to state his name, followed by the name
of the person he wishes to propose.
10. The proposer and the seconder must vote for the name that they have proposed and
seconded, respectively.
11. Once all the names have been proposed and seconded, solicit names of those members
who would like to speak in favour of any of the proposed names by asking interested
members to stand up and give their names.
12. Each member has only one vote (except for Shura delegate elections) and therefore can
only vote for one person.
13. For the elections of Shura Delegate, each member has the right to cast the number of votes
equaling the number of delegates that can be elected for a given Majlis. Refer to Rule No.
