— Part III 326 In the Ahmadiyya Community, there prevails a strong and well-established system of financial sacrifices. Sometimes some people boast of sacrificing everything they possess for the sake of God. They are comparatively few but still they continue to mingle with a large majority of Ahmadis who are sincere in their vows. When at last God decides to expose such hypocrites, their game of deception is revealed. Here such sincere people are not mentioned who cannot keep their vows because of their subsequent financial losses. They are certainly above reproach. Only such are discussed here who, right from the beginning, intend to deceive. Many verses of the Holy Quran also throw light on this subject. The Holy Prophet sa also describes the breaking of vows as deception in the following tradition: When he (the hypocrite) makes a promise, he does not keep it and is guilty of deception. 48 Although hypocrisy is a matter of hidden intentions, when its signs erupt they pinpoint the hypocrites.
