After Tilawat, Pledge and Nazm Huzoor (aba) delivered a faith-inspiring address for Khuddam at the end of which he gave Khuddamul Ahmadiyya many prayers. After silent prayer, Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih V (aba) said:

“The Isha’at Department of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya UK, was given the blessed opportunity to translate and publish the first half of Mashal-e-Rah Volume 1. The book covers the initial years of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya including the very first address at the inception of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya in 1938 delivered by Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih II (ra). This English translation comprises of 26 addresses and 12 poems in total.

I have named this collection Beacon for the Youth in English. May Allah the Almighty enable this to become a beneficial source of material for the Taleem and Tarbiyyat of our youth. Ameen”

Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih V (Aba) enquiring about Mashale-Rah from Mohtamim Isha’at.

After these moving words and the conclusion of the session, Huzoor (aba) launched the Beacon for the Youth book (which entailed a website) from a screen that was flanked by the first Urdu 1970 edition of Mashal-e-Rah and the present English translation. By the grace of Allah the Almighty within a few hours the entire stock of Beacon for the Youth had sold out due to the effect of the blessed words of Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih V (aba) and his prayers.

Throughout the Khuddam Ijtema (starting on 9 September 2022), an exhibition on Mashal-e-Rah was displayed in the exhibition marquee showcasing the history of the publication. The exhibition caused an increase in anticipation for the book and drew in much interest.
