Why Islam is my choice — Page 85
85 After some time, I formally became a Muslim by signing the Bai‘at form, thus entering the fold of the A ḥ madiyyah Muslim Jam ā ‘at of Ḥ a ḍ rat Mirz ā Ghul ā m A ḥ mad, the Promised Messiah, peace be on him. Ḥ a ḍ rat Mirz ā N āṣ ir A ḥ mad, Third Successor to the Promised Messiah, may All ā h be pleased with him, gave me the name, Ḥ ad ā yatull ā h, meaning, the one guided by All ā h himself. It is true that I was not guided directly by any man into the path of the Holy Prophet Mu ḥ ammad, peace and blessings of All ā h be upon him, but only through the miraculous power of prayers. In the end I pray, may All ā h bring many more Ḥ ad ā yatull ā hs into the fold of A ḥ madiyyah Muslim Jam ā ‘at where, most certainly, they will find the light and the real peace.
