The word Khilafat means succession, and the Caliph is a successor to a Prophet of Allah whose goal is to carry to completion the tasks of reformation and moral training that were seeded by the Prophet. #VictoryofIslam

The community of followers of a Prophet of Allah continues to nurture its faith and practices under the blessing of the institution of Khilafat for as long as Allah wishes. #VictoryofIslam

“Allah had promised to those among you who believe and do good works that He will surely make them Successors in the earth, as He made Successors from among those who were before them…” Quran 24.56 #VictoryofIslam

“According to nature’s physical laws, man has only a limited life span, but the task of reformation and training of society requires a much longer time. So, Allah has established the system of Khilafat after the system of Prophethood.” #VictoryofIslam

“The Khalifah [Caliph] continues and carries on the task of the Prophet. The seed sown by the Prophet is protected and nurtured by the Khalifah till it becomes a strong and sturdy tree.” #VictoryofIslam

“Khilafat [Khilafat] is an offshoot or branch of the system of Prophethood, that is why the Holy Prophetsa says that after every Prophet, the system of Khilafat is established.” #VictoryofIslam

Just as Allah appoints a Prophet, it is He who appoints a Caliph as well. He chooses the person who is most eligible to become a Caliph, and guides a group of pious believers into manifesting His Will through a process of selection of the Caliph. #VictoryofIslam

It may apparently seem that the Caliph is chosen by a group of pious people, but it is in fact the Will of Allah that guides their faculties into choosing the Caliph of His Choice. #VictoryofIslam

Khilafat establishes the authority of Allah on earth, and the Khalifa [Caliph] strives to uphold that authority within the community of followers. #VictoryofIslam

For the believers, Khilafat is an embodiment of Allah’s Unity, as they choose to take divine authority through the person of the Caliph. #VictoryofIslam

The believers partake of the blessings of Khilafat by holding firm to their faith and practices, united under him. #VictoryofIslam

The mission of a Khalifa [Caliph] is to protect the Law and to bring back “the erring flock into the Master’s fold.” #VictoryofIslam

“The appointment of a Khalifa [Caliph] occurs through God’s own decree in the sense that the hearts of believers become inclined towards them and they voluntarily accept them as their Khalifas.” #VictoryofIslam

The function of a Caliph is that the religion which their mission is to serve becomes firmly established through their prayers and missionary efforts. #VictoryofIslam

A Caliph enjoys equanimity and peace of mind amidst hardships, privations or persecution which nothing can disturb. #VictoryofIslam

“We Ahmadi Muslims leave no stone unturned when it comes to serving humanity.” #VictoryofIslam

“He’s a leader who cares for humanity and I believe he's the champion for peace.” #VictoryofIslam
