Ahmadiyyat Is Not a New Religion — Page 6
6 Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad favours upon us—favours we could never repay, even if our skins were flayed and sewn into clothes. The sacrifices of the Arabs acquainted us with Islam. Thus, conveying the message of Ahmadiyyat to them would not be a favour. Even if we devoted all our properties to the Arabs and sacrificed our wealth and assets for their sake, we could not repay their goodness. They enriched us with spiritual bounties, and we would only be offering them material goods. But now, God has accorded us an opportunity to gratify them with spiritual bounties as they once offered us. Their ancestors gave us Islam, and now it is our duty to teach them Ahmadiyyat and return the favour they gave us by spreading Islam among us. Hence, by granting us Ahmadiyyat, God has provided us with an enterprise not given to other people. It is our responsibility to benefit from this opportunity by spreading Ahmadiyyat among the Arabs and, at least, expanding the circulation of this magazine, which the Jamā‘at publishes to convey the voice of Ahmadiyyat in the Arab countries.
