"I have firm faith that Hazrat Muhammad Rasulullah (saw) is Khataman Nabiyyin, the seal of all the prophets." Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (aba) leads the Bai'at, reaffirming the Islamic Kalima and belief in the Promised Messiah (as) as foretold by the Holy Prophet (saw).
For Bradford-born Malik Fraz Ahmad, who grew up in Idle and now works in London as a trainee corporate lawyer, attending the event has become a fixture of family life.

Jalsa Salana UK 2026 is over so let’s look back on the days of Jalsa and read a few messages and reflections sent by Lajna.

More than 50,000 Ahmadi Muslims pledged allegiance to the world's only global Caliphate, while millions more joined via a live broadcast.
The Caliph, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor, is the World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and issued a message of peace at the Jalsa Salana event – the longest-running Islamic convention in Britain.
We spoke to some who took part, and others who witnessed the emotional ceremony.
Thank you to Alan Speirs - Deputy Chief Constable - Police Scotland, for your message of support @JalsaUK. We appreciate your recognition of our good work and look forward to continued collaboration. #JalsaUK@AhmadiyyaUK
Thank you @JalsaUK for a truly unforgettable global gathering of Ahmadi Muslims at the 60th Jalsa. My feelings captured in verse:
To Farm an Aura
(An ode to Hadeeqatul Mahdi)
By Amjad Mahmood Khan
Los Angeles, California USA
July 24, 2026
They call it “aura farming”—to gather praise and power,
To bend the crowd’s admiring gaze, to magnify the hour.
But the fields of Oaklands Farm have taught me there is richer soil to sow:
The brightest light belongs to those who keep their egos low.
How strange that on a working farm this phrase is turned around:
No image here is cultivated; the self tilled into the ground.
The salt of earth—Hadeequatul Mahdi—vast and still,
Where every heart arrives the same and leaves by Allah’s will.
These acres bloom with borrowed light beneath an English sky;
A farm becomes a sanctuary where earth and heaven meet.
For this is no ordinary gathering, nor work of mortal hand—
The Promised Messiah proclaimed it first: a Jalsa by Allah’s own command.
He called us not for idle talk, nor speeches seeking praise,
But taqwa, worship and gratitude to guide our fleeting days;
To deepen faith, seek sacred truth, let ma’rifat take root,
Until barren hearts bear living fruit where once there stood no fruit.
A stone was laid by Allah Himself; His promise raised these lands.
Each summer Jalsa keeps its pledge through countless willing hands.
The canvas stretches, roads appear where yesterday was field;
By morning, hearts behold a city of tents faith alone could yield.
Then comes our Huzoor, gentle, calm—no grandeur to proclaim;
We love the way he lifts above else Allah’s name.
In every word and every prayer, in all his counsel softly given
He sublimates the truth, and through that grace, our eyes are turned to Heaven.
No worldly throne could summon this, nor fame command such grace;
A covenant, not charisma, binds every time and place.
The self dissolves in whispered durood beneath the evening sun;
The truest aura cannot be possessed; it is received by everyone.
Millions gather, hushed in awe, not dazzled by a face,
But by the sincerity and wisdom of the Khalifa wrapped in grace.
His light that draws these searching hearts seeks neither fame nor praise;
The worldly pleasures and ego strokes we set ablaze.
The closer we stand to Him, the less of us remains;
Our borrowed light grows brighter still as pride is left behind.
For Khilafat claims no glory—it reflects the Light above;
And teaches hearts to disappear inside their Maker’s love.
The ovens breathe through day and night; the Langar kneads the bread.
For fifty thousand guests are fed where love and mercy spread.
With daal and rice, no stranger eats alone;
The simplest meal becomes a feast when the Prophet (sa)’s example is shown.
The bread is plain, the meal is spare, yet no one leaves unfed;
For generosity is measured not by wealth, but compassion instead.
The host and guest share one plate; distinctions fade away;
The Promised Messiah’s spirit lives in every offered tray.
Then comes the Bai’at—hands upon shoulders, row by row.
A living chain through which Allah’s countless blessings overflow.
Across the fields and screens our souls ignite;
Each hand extends through Khilafat, each heart to Allah’s Light.
An Ahmadi learns here at last what no acclaim can prove:
The finest aura leaves no trace—it only points above.
Our greatest honor is not that the world should know our names;
But that our lives reflect the Light from which our blessings came.
So this is how we farm an aura—not one the eye can see.
We sow the self in humble earth and harvest unity.
We lose the glow we thought our own beneath Khilafat’s sun,
And find the light we came to seek belonged only to One.
Leaving #JalsaUK with more than luggage — we carry home renewed faith, countless memories, heartfelt duas, and the warmth of meeting friends and family from around the world.
May Allah accept everyone's sacrifices and efforts. Amin

What an amazing and humbling experience to have a presence at #JalsaUK this weekend in Hampshire. Over 51,000 guests from around the world, many of whom engaged with Humanity First.
@JalsaUK heartiest congratulations on completion of jalsa Salana, by the Grace of Allah. The whole family watched the three days, especially Hazoor (aba) faith inspiring addresses, other speakers covered major issues that required immediate attention. Our heartiest congratulations to everyone from management, administrators, speakers, volunteers. Barak’Allah l’akum
What does our world need more of?
Humility. That was the message at Jalsa Salana UK, Britain's largest Islamic convention, as Imam Ayyaz Khan explained how Islam teaches that the humility we show before God should extend into how we live and treat others. Wealth, status, knowledge, and even spiritual progress should never make us feel superior to those around us.
This Jalsa Salana was different
Best moment for me apart from baiat and speeches of beloved Hazur was today I was walking and a brother told me two of his friends accepted Islam Ahmadiyya through my videos.
Then I walked further and met a young brother from Slough who also told me the debates helped him make his decision
It was so motivating to meet such amazing brothers from around the world. The love we have for each other is not found anywhere and seeing the youth and how much they benefitted was motivating to another level alhamdulillah
So much planned now and I request prayers
#JalsaUK
During his Concluding Address, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (aba) reminded us that fulfilling our pledge requires eradicating all forms of falsehood. A true Ahmadi must prioritize the truth and the commands of God Almighty above all.
Thank you for following our coverage of the 60th Jalsa Salana UK! The farewell gates are open as thousands of guests from around the world begin their journeys home. We pray you depart with hearts full of peace. #JalsaUK
