Afzal Haq, the President of Majlis e Ahrar, an organisation committed to the opposition of the Ahmadiyya Muslim. Community observed the miraculous change which Hadhrat.

Dayanand's endeavours to create suspicion against Islam alerted Muslims for a while. But they soon fell into deep slumber. Among the. Muslims no organisation came into existence for the propagation of Islam. But there was one soul which was restless at the indifference of Muslims. He got round him a small Community and went ahead to preach Islam. Mirza. Ghulam Ahmad instilled in his Community an unrelenting zeal for the propagation of Islam. This was a noble example not only for Muslims of various sects but also an inspiration for the missionary organisations and communities in the entire. Muslim world. '79. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad witnessed the change wrought in. Muslims of the Indian sub continent by Hadhrat Ahmadas. He lamented the sad demise of this exceptional personality who for such a long period of his life served the cause of Islam with great dedication. He stated: 'That man, that very great man whose pen was a magic wand and whose tongue spell binding; that man whose brain was a complex of wonders, whose eyes could revive the dying and whose call aroused those in the graves, whose fingers held the wires of revolution and whose fists were powerful; that man who for thirty years was for the religious world an earth shaking quake, who, like the trumpet of doomsday awakened those lost in slumber of life, has left the world.
