xiii A GUIDING PRINCIPLE While giving glad tidings regarding the appearance of the second manifestation, the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him, has written in the booklet Al-Wasiyyat as follows: "I am a living manifestation of the transcendent, omnipotent will of God. After me there will be other persons who will represent the second manifestation of His will. " According to the unanimous consensus of the Jam a‘ at reached immediately after the demise of the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him, the promised second manifestation was understood without question to have been realized in the form of the Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya as such the entire Jam a‘ at including S adr Anjuman Ahmadiyya submitted unconditionally to the superior authority of the second manifestation in the person of Hadrat H ak i m Maulv i N oor-ud-Di n Sahib Khalifatul Masih I. Thus it was established once for all that S adr Anjuman Ahmadiyya will always have the same relationship with the second manifestation i. e. Khalifatul Masih as it had with the first manifestation i. e. The Promised Messiah, peace be upon him. The relevant clause from the rules of S adr Anjuman Ahmadiyya which were approved by the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him, himself and were published in Al- H akm and Al-Badr is as follows: "In each matter the orders of the Promised Messiah shall be absolute, final and binding on S adr Anjuman Ahmadiyya, its subordinate bodies and all of its branches".
