Khalifatul-Masih III - Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad — Page 13
Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad 13 Qadian via Egypt on 9 November 1938. Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih III rta acted upon his father’s advice to his best during his stay in England. People around him made observations about his pious way of life. He would generally spend his vacations with other members of the household of the Promised Messiah as who too were studying there. He would spend this time as a paying guest at the farm of an English lady in Devonshire. After his election as Khalifah, this English lady reflected thus upon enquiry from Imam Bashir Ahmad Rafiq of Masjid Fazl London: “At the front is the room where he always used to stay. Whenever I passed his room early in the morning, I would hear an enchanting humming sound. One day I asked him what did he read so regularly in the morning. Nasir told me that he read his sacred book, the Holy Qur’an. One evening, at dinner we started talking about his future plans… He said that he planned to serve Islam and had resolved to dedicate his life for that purpose and had no other wish…Upon this I said, ‘Oh, what a waste of time!’ But now when I see that he is the leader of his Community, I feel ashamed at the wrong statement made by myself. ” 11
