Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (rta) at a question and answer session. These sessions with Huzoor (rta) attracted large audiences from all walks of life and were subsequently aired on MTA International as well.
After migrating to London, one of the many great achievements of Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (rta) included the launch of MTA International, which is an abbreviation of ‘Muslim Television Ahmadiyya’. It was launched on 24 March 1989, when the German and Mauritian Jama’ats heard the Friday sermon of Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (rta) via telephone. After this, on 13 June 1992, Huzoor’s Friday sermon was broadcast on MTA International. This initiated the weekly broadcast.
In April 1992 the Friday sermon began to be broadcasted live. In February 1993, for the first time, Huzoor’s addresses at the Jalsa Salana UK were also broadcast live. On 7 January 1994 MTA International emerged as a live broadcaster. Then, on 1 April 1996, the twenty-four hour programmes were launched.
Without doubt, it was Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (rta) who planted this seed, which today has grown from a stem to a strong tree. MTA1 World, MTA2 Europe, MTA3 Al-Arabiyya, MTA4 Africa, MTA5 Africa, MTA6 Asia, MTA7 Asia and MTA8 America all host twenty-four hour programmes around the world and the voice of the Khalifah of the time reaches everywhere across the entire planet! Likewise, through the internet, we can benefit from all three channels at www.mta.tv.

This monumental accomplishment which serves to spiritually nourish Ahmadis all across the globe, was also a great lesson for the enemies of Ahmadiyyat. The more they tried to silence the Khalifah, the more Allah made his voice heard. To their frustration, they were forced to witness the success and spread of Ahmadiyyat. They tried to take our Khalifah away from us, but Allah brought him into the home of every Ahmadi through MTA International. The voice of our Khalifah reaches every corner of the earth, twenty-four hours a day, every day!
Before he left Pakistan, when Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (rta) would deliver the Friday sermons at Aqsa Mosque in Rabwah, only the few thousand people who attended the Friday Prayers could listen to his sermon live. However, after leaving Pakistan and migrating to England, millions heard his live sermons sitting in their homes.
Indeed, this was the plan of Allah that unfolded—the more the enemies sought to weaken Ahmadiyyat, the more Allah strengthened it.
Upon the shoulder of the wind,
He entered the homes of hundreds of thousands—
The very one who had been forced,
To flee his home for the sake of Allah!
On MTA International, Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (rta) started a class of the Urdu translation of the Holy Qur’an. A total of 305 classes were broadcast, the fruit of which is the printed version of the Urdu translation of the Holy Qur’an. Huzoor’s great service towards the Holy Qur’an will always keep his memory alive in our hearts.
Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (rta) had a strong interest in homoepathic medicine even before his Khilafat. When he was the director of Waqf-e-Jadid, he had established a clinic where he would give prescriptions and medication for various ailments. This practice continued even after he migrated to London. Huzoor (rta) also delivered 198 lectures related to homoeopathy on MTA International. In this 
way he played a great role in spreading knowledge and awareness of homoeopathy around the world. These lectures were also compiled and published in a book titled Homoeopathy, Like Cures Like.
