The Leading Muslim Youth Organization
Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya (MKA) is the name of the youth auxiliary of the greater Worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. MKA USA is America's leading Muslim youth association.
The name "Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya" is derived from its roots in Arabic. Translated into English, it literally means, "Group of the Servants of Ahmadiyya." Ahmadiyya Muslim (or Ahmadi Muslim) is the name given to those who are members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Islam.
Members of the Ahmadiyya Community are Muslims who believe in the Messiah, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian, India. In 1889, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah (as), established the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community with a notion that "members of this Community would show something distinctive in their day-to-day behaviors."
As the Worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community grew, so too did the demands of the organization. Hadhrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad (ra), the second Khalifa or Successor to the Promised Messiah, created several organizations periodically to fulfill these growing needs. On February 4th, 1938, he established Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya; a culmination of the great characteristics found in previously established organizations of the community.
Vision of the Auxiliary Words from Khalifatul Masih II (ra)
"This is a spiritual training and spiritual education; today is the
time for the training of young men. The period of training is a silent
period. People assume that nothing is happening, but when after
receiving training the nation steps into the field of action, then the
world sees the results. In reality, a living nation that rises with the
raising of the hand and sits down when the hand is lowered can make a
great change in the world."
Pledge and Responsibilities For members of the auxiliary Khalifatul Masih II (ra) pledged that the responsibility of servants of Ahmadiyya is to spread the message of Islam to the corners of the Earth. He endowed a mission that all Khuddam must endeavor for: to train and educate its members, in true Islamic ways, to inculcate in them the love of Allah and Hazrat Khatman Nabiyyan Muhammad Mustafa (may peace and blessings upon him), and the spirit of serving Islam, country, mankind, and strive for their welfare.
Our History A Brief Synopsis of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya USA
While
it was certainly the desire of American Ahmadis to have a national
Khuddam organization, it took nearly 20 years of organizing local
chapters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and gathering young men
within to set up an active MKA USA network.
Progress and Contributions Examining the growth of MKA USA through Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya
"I solemnly pledge, that I shall always be ready to sacrifice my life, wealth, time, and honor, for the sake of my faith, country, and nation. Likewise, I shall be ready, to offer any sacrifice, for guarding the Institution of Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya. Moreover, I shall deem it essential, to abide by any Ma'roof decision, made by Khalifatul Masih, Inshallah."
In essence, the pledge of Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya USA explains our close, personal relationship with Khilafat, in its simplest form; and it is because of this close relationship, that Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya USA has progressed since its inception.
