The Promised Messiah^(as) highlights two blessed institutions in this book; the system of Wassiyat and the establishment of Khilafat.\r\n\r\nThose who entered the system of Wassiyat would make a testamentary disposition for the cause of Islam, vowing to leave behind at least 1/10^th or up to 1/3^rd of their property for the cause of Islam while also creating a special spiritual revolution within themselves throughout their life.\r\n\r\nAfter detailing this blessed scheme, the Promised Messiah^(as) gives the illustrious glad tidings of Allah’s “second manifestation” that would be established after his demise. The Promised Messiah^(as) describes this through the example of Hazrat Abu Bakr^(ra), who was chosen by Allah to lead the Muslims as the first Khalifa of Islam following the demise of the Holy Prophet^(sa). The Promised Messiah^(as)also refers to Surah al-Nur, verse 56, in which Allah promises those Muslims who believe and do good works the blessing of Khilafat.\r\n\r\nThe Promised Messiah^(as) explains that the “second manifestation” would be until the end of times and established by Allah.","hasPart":{"@type":"WebPage","name":"Page viii","text":"Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian The Promised Messiah & Mahdias","position":8,"isPartOf":{"@type":"Book","name":"The Will"}}}
