Guidelines
-
-
- There are many hotels that the Jamaat has created room blocks and arranged lower rates for jamaat members. A full list of these hotels will be published closer to Jalsa.
- Please book your hotels in a timely manner. Most of these hotels have cutoff dates approximately one (1) month prior to the start of Jalsa. Waiting until the last minute creates an unnecessary burden on the accommodation team.
- DO NOT book extra rooms and cancel at the last minute.
- DO NOT book multiple rooms at multiple hotels.
- Doing so prevents others from booking hotels close to Jalsa and results in lost revenue for those hotels.
- For those members that are facing financial hardship, arrangements can be made at an Ahmadi member’s home or at a nearby Hadee mosque.
- If you stay with another Ahmadi or at Hadee mosque, please make sure you clean up after yourself.

Discounted Hotels List
“Bai‘at is devoid of all blessings and is a mere formality if one does not care to meet me. Since – due to physical inability, lack of resources, and long distances – it is not possible for everyone to stay in my company or to visit me a few times every year, and most hearts are not yet endowed with such ardent desire that they should bear the greatest troubles and hardships for the meeting, it seems appropriate, therefore, that three days of every year should be fixed for a gathering in which all my devoted followers should – God willing – be present, with the condition of health, time and absence of strong impediments.”
– The Promised Messiah (as)
