Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 272 There is Only One Jam a ‘at with an Imam At this time, there is only one religious Jam a ‘at (Ahmadiyya) in the entire world that has a single Imam of their own; oth- erwise, all other communities are leaderless. They do not have any guide. They are an example of 1 ْمُهُبْوُلُق ىّٰتَش ْمُهُبْوُلُق ىّٰتَش among themselves. 2 Humility and Lowliness The Promised Messiah as said: Humility and lowliness are noble traits. A person who, despite being in need, is arrogant, cannot attain their desires. He ought to adopt humility. It is related that the physician Galen was employed by a king. The king was in the habit of eating such unhealthy food that Galen was certain that the king would con- tract leprosy. Therefore, he would always restrain the king, but the king would not desist. Eventually fed up, Galen fled back to his country. After some time, the signs of leprosy appeared on the body of the king. It was then that he realised his mis- take and adopted humility. He placed his son upon the throne, clothed himself in simple attire and left. He came to Galen. Galen recognized him and appreciated the humility of the king and began treating him with full force. Only then did God cure the king. 3 1. Their hearts are divided ( S u rah al- H ashr, 59:15). [Publisher] 2. Badr, vol. 6, no. 20, p. 3, dated 16 May 1907 3.
