Your honour lies in honouring your faith. I have previously also mentioned an incident, and there are many similar incidents, where an Ahmadi girl was served a notice of a month from her boss to take off her at work or else she would be fired from her job. That girl prayed, ‘O Allah, I only follow Your commandment and observe Purda to follow Your faith, so help me.
