In order to keep this process going, the best arrangement, in my opinion, would be that all my affluent friends should give me their whole hearted support. They should, according to their ability, purchase one or more copies of every book I publish. While those booklets which are priced at three or four annas each, can be bought by them in an adequate numbers, according to their means. The amount thus received can be spent on the publication of the next book. The people of my Jam a ‘at who owe Zakat on jewellery, cash, or property, etc. , should realize that none is more poor, helpless and needy in these days than Islam. Everyone knows what warning the Sharia gives to those who do not pay Zakat and the punishment for not doing so. And it is very likely that the one who does not believe in Zakat may revert to disbelief. It is therefore imperative to help Islam by spending the Zakat on purchasing these books and distributing free of cost. Besides these, there are other books of mine that are also very helpful. For example, A h k a mul Qur’an , Arba'in f i ‘Al a m a tul Muqarrab i n, Sir a j-e-Mun i r , and the Commen- tary on the Noble Book. 62 Since the publication of Br a h i n- e-Ahmadiyya is of the paramount importance, preference shall be given to it. Other books will be published, as time 62 The Holy Qur’ a n. [Translator]
