Why Islam is my choice — Page 51
51 mull ā s in Pakistan had started violent movement against the A ḥ madiyyah Muslim Jam ā ‘at. At their instigation, the violence had reached Quetta also. I was accompanying Dr. Major Ma ḥ m ū d A ḥ mad when we were attacked by the mob. Major Ma ḥ m ū d became a martyr in that attack. This incident left an indelible mark on my memory. May All ā h always bless the pious soul of Major Ma ḥ m ū d, Shah ī d. Amen. I am grateful to All ā h, for His continuous favors upon me. There has never been a moment in my life when I did not experience His rewards. I have experienced numerous signs of the acceptance of prayers, after I joined the A ḥ madiyyah Muslim Jam ā ‘at. Many a time through clear dreams, All ā h comforted me and provided me counsel to my concerns. No amount of thanks to All ā h will ever be sufficient for His favors. A ḥ madiyyat is the greatest blessing. I wish and pray that the whole World join the A ḥ madiyyah Muslim Jam ā ‘at, soon as the real salvation can only be found here. I wish to remind those who have been blessed with this great reward that they must prize the high value of it. They must make every effort to protect this precious blessing, as God forbid, losing this would mean losing all. May All ā h continue to grant victories upon victories to our Jam ā ‘at in the Jih ā d of propagation and may we all remain united like a rock behind the shield of our beloved Im ā m, Ḥ a ḍ rat Mirz ā ā hir A ḥ mad, Fourth Successor to the Promised Messiah , may All ā h support him and grant him success.
