122. LIFE SUPREME. EMBODIMENT OF ISLAM. An Ahmadi is a Muslim whose mind has been opened to wonderful spiritual truths which remain hidden to others. These truths have impressed themselves so deeply upon him that he finds his only solace in the bosom of God. Being human he possesses natural attachments of love for his family, relatives, and friends; but despite the ardour of these relationships he never forgets his loyalty to God. . When an Ahmadi has become in the true sense a soldier, ambassador, preacher, servant, and defender of Islam then, and then alone, does he blossom into an embodiment of Islam whereupon, according to the Promised Messiah: "God becomes his eye with which he sees, his tongue with which he speaks, his hand with which he repels attack, his ear with which he hears, and his foot with which he walks. " (Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam). ALL PRAISE IS DUE TO ALLAH. THE LORD OF ALL THE WORLDS. Some of the chapters of this book have previously been featured as articles in various editions of the Muslim Herald, including one which appeared in the Review of Religions.
