Fazle Umar 270 P ROPAG AT IO n OF T H E H OL y Q U R ’ A n T H ROU G HOU T T H E wOR L d It was not enough for Hadhrat Musleh Mau’ood [ra] just to write the com- mentary and distribute it. Huzur created an organisation for the service of the Holy Qur’an. This was a great undertaking. It was necessary to train those scholars who were to convey the Qur’an. In fact, an organisation was required to carry its message to the corners of the earth. There was a need for such godly scholars who would not only possess the knowledge of the Holy Book but could demonstrate the Holy Qur’an to be a life-giving message. No dark clouds cast their shadows upon the souls of those who followed the Qur’an; on the contrary their souls would continue to be bathed in the sunshine of heaven. Hadhrat Musleh Mau’ood [ra] was able to create such beacons of light that pos- sessed the spirit of sacrifice enabling them to promulgate the Qur’an in all directions. In time they drew humanity with magnetism so mighty in operation that it created in them a power to act upon the doctrines taught, as mere knowledge of the virtues cannot make a man godly. Hadhrat Musleh Mau’ood [ra] realised that victory would not be achieved solely on the basis of superior knowledge. With the idea of creating great scholars, Hadhrat Musleh Mau’ood [ra] always promoted a sense of love and respect for the Holy Qur’an in the Jamia Ahmadiyya with extraordinary care and attention. He prepared scholars who besides being knowledgeable about Islam and Ahmadi- yyat were also excellent writers and speakers and worldly-wise. He called the youth of the Jama’at to dedicate themselves for proper education in the Jamia and then be put to service like Prophet Abraham’s birds for the service of the Holy Qur’an. Huzur reminded the Jama’at time and again about sacrifice. They should sacrifice only the best of what Allah has bestowed upon them, with a willing and cheerful heart.
