Favours of the Gracious God — Page 41
HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS I intend to show His praise riding atop the mount of a Qasidah [ode] and adorn these praises with the flowers of fresh poetic verses, along with praises of the Prophetsas who is the guide for those with a righteous disposition, hoping that Allah the Almighty may grant acceptance to this humble offering, and that He may bless this book. And the one who seeks is bestowed upon by God. Thus, let there be glad tidings for all those who seek! 1 The composition of this ode began on Monday, 15 July, 1895 C. E. at around 8:00am, and the same day around the time of Aşr – before 5:00 p. m. a hundred verses had been written. This is due to the grace of Allah and His extraordinary support. (Author) 41
