, e 48 BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE AHMA D IYYA MOVEM E: NT great man had passed away from this life. The great nation which he built is the world-wide community of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam. Here is a paragraph from one of the many wonderful books that Hazrat Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad wrote: "Life here is limited. Nobody knows how long each of us may last. Sooner or later all must be ready to go and stand in the Presence of the Almighty God. Nothing will then avail but true beliefs and good works. All of us whether rich or poor go empty-handed from here. Neither rich nor poor take away anything with them when they go from here to the hereafter. We all carry only faith and good works with us. Answer the call of Islam that you may become accepted of Allah. The duty that was mine has been done. I have delivered to you the Message. It is for you to accept it or not. The least I hope and expect is that you will go through this Message with care, and then if you find it right and true , you will not hesitate to believe. May Allah make it so! And our last words are: "All praise for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. " (from Invitation to Ahmadiyyat by Khalifatul Masih II) QUESTIONS: 1.
