C ONDITIONS OF B AI ‘ AT AND R ESPONSIBILITIES OF AN A H MAD I 264 I have seen many people with great wealth who give a small amount in the way of God. To remain hungry and thirsty and to spend ones dear wealth in the way of Allah the Almighty’s pleasure and, make nothing in the world for himself is the quality perfectly seen only in Hadrat Maulav i N u r-ud-D i n. I have no other example of the extent to which I have been helped by his wealth. ( Nish a n-e- A sm a n i , R uha n i Khaz a’ in , vol. 4, p. 407) Hadrat Khalifatul Masih I, Maul a n a N u r-ud-D i n ra wrote to Promised Messiah as in the following words: I sacrifice myself for your sake. Whatever I own is not mine but is yours. H u du r is my spiritual guide. I say truly that if all my wealth is spent for religious propagation and publication, then I shall attain my success. ( Fat- h e-Isl a m , p. 61, R uha n i Khaz a’ in , vol. 3, p. 36) The Promised Messiah as writes about Hadrat Munsh i Z afar Ahmad ra : Our dear friend Munsh i Z afar Ahmad is a young, righteous and reserved person. His wisdom is deep and penetrating. His character shows clear signs cultivating faithfulness and he comprehends the proven verities very well. He fully under- stands the proven truths and derives pleasure from them. He truly loves Allah the Almighty and His Messenger. He possesses qualities of showing respect, on which wholly depends the attainment of the beneficence, and having good faith which is required in this path. May Allah the Almighty grant him the best reward! ( Iz a la-e-’Auh a m , pp. 800–801, R uha n i Khaz a’ in , vol. 3, pp. 532–533)
