132 Friends! Ahmadiyyat is a Movement for the revival of Islam and for the ultimate universal triumph of Islam that was started by the Will of God Almighty. It is a tree that has been planted by the true Creator. He, Himself, nourishes it and shelters it. It is a Promise of that Powerful and Everlasting God that this Divine Movement will flourish, will spread in the whole world and will ultimately encircle the whole world. The Promised Messiah as has mentioned this as the evidence of his truthfulness and his triumph. Huzur as says: “Is this not a great sign that all efforts were made to destroy this seed before germination and that no trace of it should remain in this world, but it has flourished and grown into a tree whose branches are spreading out far and wide and that now this tree has thrived to such an extent that thousands of birds are resting in it?” (Nazool-e-Masih; Roohani Khazain; vol. 18, p. 384) I submit to you that the time for ‘thousands’ has passed a long time ago. Now is the time for millions and the time for billions is not far off. This universal spiritual revolution is the message of hope for which humanity is thirsting today. The Promised Messiah as has stated so aptly, “this tree can be recognised by its fruit and this luminary moon can be recognised by its light. ” (Victory of Islam, Page 48, 2002 Edition)
