Ahmadiyyat Destiny and Progress — Page 51
Ahmadiyyat: Destiny and Progress 51 would disappear and surrender authority [of its places] to the Christians. And so ten years passed, and then another ten and then six more, and yet whereas before, several hundred Ahmadis used to gather here, today thousands have come together to praise and glorify the one God and exalt His name. Their number far exceeds our registered total. He who said that Christians would one day hold authority [in Qadian] has expired, as have his companions. They have met with God. But Ahmadiyyat has endured, lives on today and will ever remain. No earthly power can or will eradicate it. What power does Christianity have to prevail here; both Christianity and the nations who follow it are our prey. If Allah so wills, Christianity will surely succumb to us and we will be victorious. Gone are the days when the Son of Mary was revered as God. For 1900 years, the physical Son of Mary was held up in opposition to God’s oneness and many a person forsook divine unity. But today, he who God has raised as the spiritual Son of Mary will establish the Kingdom of God in this world as it is in heaven. We are gathered here to express our sincerity and devotion to our Lord and to show the world Ahmadiyyat is united in its efforts to glorify God Almighty’s name. We are ready to render any sacrifice for His religion.
