During his last visit to Australia Huzoor–e–Anwar (aba) has instructed us that

Every year The Message of Islam should reach to 10% of the Australian
population.

Hence, we should follow his instructions with utmost importance and sheer dedication.

• Including personal contacts leaflets should also be given to organisations in the community such as, Library, Schools, Gp Services, Dentist etc.
• Prior to sending any leaflets to these organisations, permission must be taken from their respective managers to ensure if these organisations are allowed to receive Religious Literature. Take some of the leaflets with you as an example to show them if need be while seeking permission.
• Introductory Leaflets should be given to these organisations to give them a general understanding of our community, and then if they want to know more, provide them with other comprehensive material.
• Provide a number of copies for each leaflet that is given to these organisations so, that it can be distributed amongst the staff members.
• Include a letter that gives a small introduction about our community and also highlight some of the humanitarian efforts and messages of peace given be Huzoor–e–Anwar (aba). The letter should be addressed to the manager of the organisation.
• Door to Door leafletting is allowed for lajna only with a MEHRAM Male member of the family.
• Book Stalls can be arranged and attended by Lajna only with MEHRAM male member of the family. Please provide detailed explanation of any leafletting or stalls that have been arranged by lajna. Please maintain the highest quality of Purdah while taking part in any book stalls or Door to Door leafletting. Before anything it is a command of Allah The Almighty for women to cover themselves, and as true believers we should follow this command with our eyes closed without giving it a second thought. Also remember that you are representing the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, so your etiquettes should be as such that they don’t contradict our teachings.
