Addressing Ahmadi ladies at Germany Jalsa Salana on 27 August 2005 Huzoore Anwer (may Allah be his Helper) drew their attention towards their responsibilities and said:
“A woman is a wife as well as a mother. On account of this she can create problems for her husband and at the same time, neglect the moral training of her children because when a household resonates with conversations that involve speaking ill of other people, which children hear, it impacts them and they are influenced by it. They are thus raised in an environment where thinking ill of others is common and they too get involved in this vice when they become adults. Mothers, who indulge in such conversations in the presence of their children carry the potential of creating conflicts or hatred towards others, or embroiling them in thinking ill of others or creating distances between one another, they not only ruin the future of their children but also betray what are essentially trusts of the Jama’at.”
