29 December 1905 291 The Blessing of the Promised Messiah’s Companionship The Madrasah was discussed. The Promised Messiah as said: It is essential for the students to come here and study in this place. The person who comes and spends a week in my com- pany will become greater than any maulaw i of the East or the West. Many people of the Jam a ‘at should, therefore, be trained in front of me so that they become preachers and teachers for future generations and bring people to the right path. 1 29 December 1905 A general meeting of the auspicious Ahmadiyya Movement was held on the morning of 29 December 1905, at 9 o’clock in the new guest house. All the guests, who had come from different cities and towns, were present. Respected Khw a ja Kam a l-ud-D i n delivered a long speech. The import and essence of this speech was that the purpose and goal of the Promised Messiah, may peace and blessings be upon him, is the uni- versal spread and propagation of Islam and to create a community of ours here that—being distinguished on account of its academic and practical abilities—serves toward that end. Therefore, for three days, the issue of the modern management of the Madrasah was considered. 1. Badr, vol. 2, no. 2, p. 3, dated 12 January 1906
