Origins and Background of MKA

The year 1937 was an important one in the history of Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya. On one hand,

those companions of the Promised Messiah as who had the blessings of being trained by theholy words of Promised Messiah

as and who were the bright stars on the horizon of knowledge

were departing from this world. On the other hand, the anti-Ahmadi schemes during the time of

Ahrar-led troubles that had been unsuccessful, futile, and vain had once again reconvened with full

force and might. By creating an internal agitation in Qadian, they tried to directly attack the system

of Khilafat. This was a very difficult period during which all the mischievous factions that had sprung

up in 1914, 1927, and 1934-35 joined together and started acting against Jama’at Ahmadiyya in a

new form.

With his spiritual sagacity, Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih II (ra) recognized the formidable and dreadful

results of these dangerous times, and acting according to the will of Allah, laid down some great

schemes for the worldwide domination of the true faith (Islam-Ahmadiyyat). Of those schemes, the

one great and important scheme that was able to produce long-term future gains was the scheme of

Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya. This was started in 1938.

From the beginning of his Khilafat, Hazoor was very concerned about the organization and training

of young Ahmadi men because in order to maintain the supremacy of the word of God and

domination of the true faith (Islam-Ahmadiyyat) until the Day of Judgment, it was necessary that each

generation be a true representative of the previous generation and should follow in the footsteps of

the previous generations in sacrificing life and property, so that in all times to come the men of

Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya should be trained to keep the flag of Islam high.

For attaining this purpose, Hadhrat Musleh Maud ra made several organizations from time to time, but

all the characteristics of these organizations culminated in the form of Majlis Khuddam-ul- Ahmadiyya,

and because of the direct leadership of Hazoor (ra), his special attention, and amazing

spirituality, Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya was able to provide Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya with devoted,

sincere, kind-hearted, and intelligent men with strong organizational skills who would shoulder the

large responsibilities of Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya in a pleasant and successful way.

While laying the foundation of this Majlis, Hadhrat Khalifatul Mashih II (ra) prophesied:

“I can see how we will respond to these attacks [by the enemy]. I

have an overall view of all the things in my mind and one part of that

is Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya, and in reality this is a spiritual training

and spiritual education … today is the time for 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.”
