( From R uh Perver Y a dei n , p. 687, first edition) At the time of the establishment of Pakistan in 1947, hundreds of thousands of refugees, after being robbed and beaten, trav- eled to Qadian in the form of caravans. The circumstances at that time were extremely hard. There was no guarantee of protection of the honour of the Muslim women. All Muslims thought that they shall be secure once they reached Qadian. At that time Hadrat Mu s le h -e-Mau ‘u d ra made Mirz a N as ir Ahmad (who later on became Khalifatul Masih III rta ) in- charge of the refugees who had reached Qadian in helpless condition and many lacked clothing. H u du r ra first of all distributed precious clothing from his own family among the refugees. Then under proper arrangement, all left Qadian in an orderly fashion in the form of caravans and with the grace of Allah the Almighty reached their destination safely. The Ahmad i s fulfilled their responsibility for the protection of all the people, by sacrificing their own lives for it. In the Ten Conditions of Bai‘at as established by the Promised Messiah as , there is one condition that after joining the Jam a ‘at with the covenant of bai‘at , we own nothing for ourself. Now all our affiliations and relations shall be through our association with the Promised Messiah as and the organisa- tion of the Jam a ‘at. No relationship can take us away from the Promised Messiah as. We become beggars at his door. This remains our priority. This covenant has been fulfiled very well. I now present a few examples. Many of them have been praised and paid homage by the Imam of the Age himself.
