71 mechanic came after quite a while and spent several hours to repair the motorbike successfully. The muallims had to spend several hours at chief’s place. The chief asked the muallims who they were and where were they heading to. The muallims told him that they were Ahmadis and were on a preaching mission to Fatick region. The chief asked them: ‘what is this Ahmadiyyat?’ They told the chief all about Ahmadiyyat. This went on for several hours during which the muallims got the opportunity to deliver the message of truth to the chief, his household and the others who were present there in a very desirable manner. Allah blessed their efforts with His Grace in that the chief declared his conversion to Ahmadiyyat. The chief also wrote letters to all sub-chiefs in his chiefdom and handed those to the muallims to deliver. He wrote in those letters that he had become an Ahmadi, by the Grace of Allah, and that they too should deliberate about Ahmadiyyat and decide. Thus Allah the Almighty opened many avenues of preaching in the Fissel area as a result of the breakdown of the motorbike. Now the flag of Ahmadiyyat is flying in about forty places. May Allah reward these muallims abundantly! One of them, Modou Sarr has passed away; may Allah engulf him in His Mercy! May the planting of Ahmadiyyat in that region through him become an on-going rewarding charity for him, Amin!
