108 Chapter: 9 Faith-augmenting journey of Ahmadiyyat Inspiring story of Doctor Sambou Jan Bah Blessings of Wasiyyat The other day while reading the daily Al-fazl I saw the declarations of new Musis (testators). My gaze got fixed on one name as it was very familiar. It was the name of a Gambian youth, Dr. Sambou jan bah I was very happy on his enrolment in the Wasiyyat system. I read the details of his movable and immovable property which far exceeded those of an average Gambian. While it was surprising, it was also very pleasing to note that Allah, the Almighty had enriched our brother with worldly blessings in addition to the religious one. Introduction: I visualised the life and times of Dr. Sambou Jan bah like a movie. His father lived in a village Yallal Bah near Farafeni. He was a fairly ordinary farmer. He had no issue from his first wife but was blessed with a son from his second wife whom he named Dr. Sambou Jan Bah. Acceptance of the right religion: Dr. Sambou Jan Bah socialised with Ahmadi friends from his early adulthood. Thereby, Allah, the Almighty opened his heart and he accepted the message of the Imam Mahdi as wholeheartedly.
