Ahmadiyyat - The Renaissance of Islam — Page 42
42 AHMADIYY AT to the last day of my life, I shall eschew, to the best of my ability, all manner of sin. I will uphold my faith above all worldly conside- rations. I shall try, as far as may be within my power', to 0 bserve the ten conditions of initiation set out in the leaflet dated 12 January 1889. I seek the forgiveness of God for my past sins. [These words were repeated in Urdu, and, thereafter, the following supplication was made in Arabic:] I ask forgiveness of Allah, my Lord, for all sins and turn to Him in repentance. I bear witness that there is no one worthy of worship save God, the One without associate; and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger. Lord, I have wronged my soul and confess my sins. Do Thou forgive my sins for no one can forgive sins save Thyself. Thus was laid the foundation of the Ahmadiyya Move- ment in Islam, the branches of which are to be found in every part of the world.
