Cherished Memories of Africa — Page x
vii Dedication To the simple and virtuous Ahmadi brothers and sisters of Arze Bilal (Africa), who believed in the blessed personage of the Imam of the Age (as) without seeing him and then whole- heartedly fell in love with His Holiness and his Khalifas, who in spite of their poverty and limited resources extended their hospitality to the missionaries during their stay abroad, and opened their hearts and homes to them, and became their helpers and comforters, day and night, through thick and thin, with extreme love and devotion, as they fulfilled their obligation of propagation of faith. As such they offered their life, wealth and honour in the way of Allah. The incessant march of Ahmadiyyat in its quest for the supremacy of Islam continues with ever increasing advancement to its goal. These pious souls have played a prominent role in these unparalleled successes and unbelievable achievemnets. O my Lord, reward all of them with goodly rewards and grant them the status of excellence of ‘You being pleased with them and they pleased with You’ and grant their posterity the ability to guard their spiritual legacy with deligence, Aameen!
