8 BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE AHMADIY YA MOVEMENT was a very simple education, not at all like all the subjects and things you learn today in school. Basically, he just learned reading and writing. Little Ahmad was always very respectful to all of his teachers. He loved to study and used to spend a lot of time in the mosque reading the Holy Quran. He did not like worldly things, not even sports or games, although he could swim and ride. When he was a young boy, many people kept and used weapons such as swords and guns and bows. But Ahmad never liked such war-like sports and he never participated in them. You can already see what a gentle and loving nature he had. As Ahmad grew up he continued to show that he was a truthful and good person. Everyone was impressed with his pure and good nature. He always preferred religion and spiritual matters to things of the world and his real happiness was found in prayer and reading the Holy Quran. He loved God and the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of God be on him, very much and he always defended Islam against any attack. Allah blessed him with a special understanding of the Holy Quran and gave him great spiritual knowledge. The same young boy who had only a very simple and basic education grew up to impress others with his deep knowledge and understanding. Allah Almighty also gave him a special knowledge of Arabic language and his Arabic vocabulary grew to 40,000 rootwords in a single night. What a miracle! His knowledge of Arabic grew so much t hat he even wrote books in Arabic that were so outstanding, no one could match them. The books were so good that some people even said that Arabs had written them in secret. We know better! They did not know how Allah blesses His loved ones with special favors.
