110 Divine succour arrives: There was an Ahmadiyya clinic in Kaur, near Farafeni those days. Our friend, Umar Ali , an Ahmadi muballigh, liaised with the doctor in-charge to have Dr. Sambou jan bah employed there. He had never attended any school. However, he was blessed with intelligence by Allah, the Almighty, therefore, he had acquired some understanding of English by socialising with English speaking friends. Further progress: In the company of the doctor, he gained the knowledge of English, experience of patient care, general information and ever increasing circle of acquaintance. He learned giving injections. He soon became doctors interpretor and then dispenser. Now he is known as Dr. Sambou Jan Bah in Farafeni. Last year, on my way from Senegal to the Gambia, I stopped by his private clinic to greet him. I saw a large number of patients waiting for the doctor. As I wanted to go in, I was stopped by a young man saying that the doctor was very busy, therefore, I could not go in. I had no choice but to sit and wait outside. By chance the doctor saw me and took me in. In the evening we met in the mosque. While talking, he repeatedly burst into tears. He mentioned the favours and blessings of Allah, the Almighty and said it was all the fruit of belief in the Promised Mesiah as - faith, honour and worldly gains far more than the rest of family members.
