Conditions of Bai'at and Responsibilities of an Ahmadi — Page 89
Condition IV 89 Then he says: Friends! Hold fast to this rule: deal with all people with kindness. Kindness increases intelligence, and forbearance promotes deeper thinking. Anyone who does not adopt this way is not of us. Anyone from our Jam a ‘at who cannot tolerate the abuse and harshness of our opponents is permitted to have recourse to the courts, but it is not appro- priate that he should counter harshness with harshness and create a dispute. This is the admonishment we have given our Jam a ‘at, and we express our displeasure and declare that the one who does not act upon it is not of our Jam a ‘at.
