It is an incredibly emotional day for me, as the publication house which aims to publish my book has posted an author's introduction about me on their Instagram page.

For the first time in life, my photo and personal information about myself have been made public.
I call it emotional because I don't know how to react as comments pour in from beloved ones. I just don't know....

I can't even get myself to post the link here. I just can't, for things have been made public about myself which I've withheld from people since many years.
Now, I'll share the link with some of you in DMs, but please be aware that I may react very cold on your response. It is so because I just don't know how to handle the emotions.

So please pardon if I fail to react in a way desired.
I know that some of you will react with an element of surprise, and it's most understandable, and will be full of prayers and wishes for me, but please pardon if I don't discuss it long with you.

I just can't handle the emotions. I'm sorry.
To add to the anticipation of people, I may disclose here exclusively for my Ahmadi brothers and sisters that my book is in fact an answer to Umera Ahmad sahiba´s book 'Peer-e-Kaamil', a novel in which a very bad, and unfair, picture of our faith was depicted.
However, rest assured that #Ahmadiyya, or even #Islam itself, as a faith has nowhere been mention and neither any of our holy personalities. I´ve been most careful to avoid making it controversial. In fact, no worldly religion finds a mention.

That´s all that for now.
However, the beauty of the book yet, despite that, lies in the fact that it's meant for all kinds of audiences, people belonging to any religion, for example. Every person can enjoy it. In fact, even the issue of polytheism has nowhere been discussed or condemned.

Keep waiting.

***The summary below is not official and may therefore contain errors and inaccuracies!!!***

Huzoor began the sermon by reciting verses from the Holy #Quran which relate to the month of #Ramadan and the act of fasting, and he then....
... presented their #Urdu translation.

Huzoor said that merely being alive during this holy month, or merely going through it, or merely doing only Suhoor and Iftaar, are not enough, and neither are these the purposes of #Ramadan. Its significance, in terms of spirituality,...
... runs much deeper than that. Good and righteous deeds, especially prayers, are most accepted by Allah in this month, and Huzoor also cited a verse of the Holy #Quran which mentions of Allah being near His servants and Him hearing our prayers.

Huzoor then presented passages...

***Note: the summary below isn´t official and may therefore contain errors and inaccuracies!!!***

Huzoor began the series of sermons on the four Righteous Caliph with the mention of Hadhrat Ali.

His mother had actually given him....
... the name Asad, after the name of her own father, but Hadhrat Abu Talib, the father of Hadhrat Ali, changed the newborn´s name to Ali after returning home. He was away from home for some period of time when the birth took place.

Mecca once went through a severe famine, and...
... Hadhrat Abu Talib´s family didn´t have great financial backgrounds. So to lighten his paternal uncle´s burden for the time being during the famine, the Holy Prophet Muhammad kind of adopted Hadhrat Ali and took him home with himself. Another brother of Hadhrat Ali was....

Today´s sermon was primarily about Hadhrat Zubair ibn al-Awam, one of the blessed 10 Companions who were given the glad tiding in their life itself by the Holy Prophet Muhammad of entering Paradise.

Hadhrat Zubair, some generations....
.... back, had the same forefather as the Holy Prophet (not 100% sure on this). He was also a nephew of Hadhrat Khadija I think, one of the noble wives of the Holy Prophet. He was married to Hadhrat Asma, a daughter of Hadhrat Abu Bakr, and the Holy Prophet was also married to...
... one of the daughters of Hadhrat Abu Bakr, thus establishing another relation between him and the Holy Prophet.

Hadhrat Zubair was either the fourth or fifth person to embrace Islam, at a very young age of 12. He was the first Muslim to withdraw a sword from the sheath for...

Today´s sermon was entirely dedicated to the events that followed the Battle of the Trench, namely the punishment of the Jewish tribe named Banu Quraiza. They were a tribe which had a treaty signed with the Muslims, but they breached it...
... and aided the other tribes which fought the Muslims, such as Banu Nadheer.

When Hadhrat Ali arrived to ask them about their treachery, they behaved in a hostile manner and uttered obscenities and insults about the Holy Prophet and his wives and daughters. Seeing this,...
... Hadhrat Ali desired that the Holy Prophet shouldn´t end up hearing their hurtful insults and should instead leave the fight to the Companions. At this the Holy Prophet said, "Moses was their own Prophet and they said worse things to him than this."

During the siege, a....
