Khilafat Centenary Souvenir 1908-2008 — Page 168
Khilafat Centenary back and forth for several minutes. It was a moment of consolation and peace that I wanted to go on and on. In 1999, in another dream I was walking to the mosque with some sisters. We could see Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih IV 1 a standing in the door so the sisters rushed ahead to greet him. I was thinking that we should walk at a sedate pace so I did. When I reached the mosque Hadhrat servant?" offered me consolation and guidance. I pra y daily for Hadhrat Sahib's •b• good health, long life and success in promoting the Cause of Islam Ahmadi yya worldwide. I pra y daily for the moral and spiritual success of the entire global Ahmadiyya Mu slim Communi ty, for our worldwide bra ve Sahib greeted me and held me in a firm grandfatherly embrace, imparting spiritual strength and courage (for coming dangers). These are warnings for all of us to work ever harder for Taqwa, Absolute Justice, peace and love for all, hatred for none and steadfast. Obedience to Allah, to his Propher •w and to our blessed Khilafa •ba. The steadfast Faith and calm with which Jama ' at Ahmadi yya met the heartbreaking sudden demise of dearly beloved Hadhrat Sahib rta in 2003. is a testament to his wise teachings, guidance and example of true belief in Allah. The seamless transfer from Khalifatul Masih rv r 1 • to Khalifatul Masih v •ba was a signal to the world of the truth of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as the Promised Messiah. . and Mahdi of the Latter Da y s. Meeting Khalifatul Masih y aba and Begum Sahib a at UK J alsa in 2003 confirmed my belief that it is Allah T'Ala alone who appoints the Islam Ahmadi yya Khalifatul Masih. Dear Begum Sahiba's soft eyes and warm friendly e mbrace touched my heart. I smile when I tnQF WISDOM 0 I am not interested in discussions about what verse fits my Khilafat. God's fresh signs and miracles are sufficient ~ proof that He has made me the Khalifa. If all the powers of 0 the world collectively try to destroy my Khilafat, God will crush them like gnats. Thus 0 believers, 0 righteous ones! Khilafat is a great blessing of God. As long as a majority among you believes and is righteous, God will continue this blessing. The Khalifa will never be impaired. You will lose the Khilafat when you become impaired. Do not show ungratefulness towards this blessing, and as the Promised Messiah as has asked you to, busy yourselves in prayers so that the second manifestation may be repeated among you. In the Promised Messiah's as time, these prayers were to bless you with Khilafat after the Promised Messiah's as death, and the prayers were to be continued during the first Khilafat for a second Khilafat, and to be continued in the second Khilafat for a third Khilafat, and to be continued in the third Khilafat for a fourth Khilafat so that it may not come to pass that the doors of Khilafat may be closed on you. Thus always busy yourselves in prayer to God, knowing fully well that as long as Khilafat remains among you, no power on earth can overcome you and you will be successful in every field. This is God's promise which is mentioned in this verse. " Hazrat Khalifatul Masih n ra Sermon, Khilafat jubilee Khilafat-e-Rashida p. 266-270 think of her. Huzur •ba is demonstrating those virtues, talents and personal character that are required for this time in the life of our globalJama 'at. During mulaqa'at he immediately put me at ease with gentle inquiries about myself and my non-Muslim family (one nephew is Shia Muslim). I ha ve written to him.
