The members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community celebrated the dawn of the new millennium with fervent supplications offered in mosques around the globe. Huzoor delivered the last Friday sermon of the second millennium on December 29th, 2000.

Earlier in the year in an answer to a question Hazrat Khalifa al-Masih the Fourth said that we would not be celebrating the new millennium per se. However, he said, the only appropriate way to welcome the new millennium is to publish literature in every language of the world so that 1/10th of the world population should receive the Islamic literature. The other thing we must do is to preach that Hazrat Isa, peace be on him, believed in the unity of God Almighty. That he was a monotheist.
