Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya (Arabic : مجلس خدام الاحمدیة, literally means "Association of the Servants of Ahmadiyya") is one of five auxiliary organizations in the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. It is the young men's branch of the community, particularly for those between the ages of 15 and 40. In some English-speaking countries it is also known as the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA). [1]
Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya (MKA) was founded in 31 January 1938 by Khalifat-ul Masih II, Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad, the second Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. According to the auxiliary's founder, the name Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya literally means that its members are "servants of Ahmadiyya."
Mahmood Ahmad established the tenets of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya to rest on the principles of service and sacrifice, and to inculcate commitment to one's faith, one's country, and to the world, tenets that still resonate through its international membership. The importance of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya was so great that in 1940 membership was made compulsory for every young man between the ages of 15 and 40, and as a result, branches of Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya were established in all parts of the world.
Nations cannot be reformed without the reformation of the youth.
— Khalifatul Masih II, founder of Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association
Quote= Khalifatul Masih 3rd, for Ahmadia Youth,"تیری عاجزانہ راہیں اسے پسند آئیں۔"
Members of Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya swear an oath of allegiance to their faith, country and nation and reaffirm this oath in formal gatherings. When the pledge is reaffirmed in a formal gathering, the shahadah is recited out aloud three times in Arabic, followed by its translation in the native language of the country and then the rest of the pledge is read out in the native language: [2]
أَشْهَدُ أنْ لَّا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَأشْهَدُ أنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ
Translation: "I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah. He is One and has no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad [peace & blessing of Allah be upon him] is His servant and Messenger."
"I solemnly pledge that I shall always be ready to sacrifice my life, wealth, time and honour 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. Insha'Allah [God willing]."
My idea of establishing this body is that the knowledge which has been acquired by us and safely locked in our hearts must continue to be passed onto the next generation, and thereafter it must become a continuous cycle so that the world at large may benefit.
— Khalifatul Masih II, founder of Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association
