O ye who believe! be helpers of Allah, as said Jesus, son of Mary, to his disciples, 'Who are my
helpers in the cause of Allah?' The disciples said, 'We are helpers of Allah.' So a party of the
Children of Israel believed while a party disbelieved. Then We aided those who
believed against their enemy, and they became predominant. [61:15]

Introduction
'Majlis Ansarullah UK' is an auxiliary organisation
of the main 'Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, UK,'
the latter being a branch of the worldwide Ahmadiyya
sect of Islam. All Ahmadis who are forty years of age
or over, automatically become members of 'Ansarullah.'
'Majlis Ansarullah,' like the main body of the Ahmadiyya
Muslim Community - to which it is subordinate - is a
non-political, religious and spiritual organisation.
It has nothing to do with politics of any sort.
The number of Ahmadis in UK grew gradually, predominantly
as a result of migration from different countries such
as Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Germany and Africa.
'Majlis Ansarullah' came into existence in UK simultaneously
with the main body of the Association, perhaps in the nineteen sixties
(1960s).
Aims
& Objectives
The aim of the organisation is the moral and spiritual
training of the members so as to promote the love of
God, righteousness, exhorting them to discharge their
duties towards the Creator and fellow human beings;
promoting and propagating religious knowledge; serving
humanity; religious training and education of children,
particularly teaching them Namaz and Quran; inculcating
obedience to Hazrat Khalifatul Masih of the time and
Jamaat's administrative setup at all levels and tires
etc.
The aims and objectives of the organisation are reflected
in the pledge, which every member has to make
and repeat in every formal meeting.
Constitution
The 'Ansarullah' functions are according to its constitution,
which is approved by Hazrat Khalifatul Masih, the supreme
leader of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
The constitution lays down rules for the appointment
of office bearers; the structure of the organisation;
designation if the office bearers at different levels
and their responsibilities; powers and duties of 'Majlis
Shura' (a national consultative body, which recommends
amendments in the constitution and programme of any
particular activities for the next year); and general
guidance. All elections and proposals passed by the
Shura carry the status of recommendations to Hazrat
Khalifatul Masih, whose decision in every matter is
final.
Structure
Among the 'Ansars' there are two levels/rows (Saffs).
The 'Saff-e-awal' comprises members of age above 55
years while all others from 'Saff-e-doam.
The Sadr and Naib Sadr (Saff-e-doam) are elected for
a period of two years, while all other office bearers
are appointed on the kind approval of Hazrat Khalifatul
Masih on a yearly basis, on the recommendation of the
Sadr-e-Majlis.
