148 Establishment of ‘Madrassah’ Talimul Islam: The Promised Messiah as made an appeal through a pamphlet to the Community in 1897 to set up an exemplary Islamic Academy in Qadian to educate the youth of the Community to save them from the harmful effects of Christianity and Atheism and to train them to become true servants of Islam. Huzur as said, “Although we are busy day and night so that people believe in the True God through Whose Faith one gains the Divine Light and Salvation; but to enable people to attain that objective, there is another methodology than that used normally. That methodology is to establish a ‘Madrassah’ where a compulsory syllabus is drawn up through the study of which children can learn what Islam is and what verities Islam contains in its teachings. They would also become aware of how people attack Islam and how their attacks are full of dishonesty, lies and faithlessness. I am certain that with the Blessings of Allah the Almighty, I will write such books that when read they will, like the Sun, illuminate the beauties of Islam. And they will show the untruth of other religions in such a way that their falsity will become manifest. Therefore, I consider it appropriate to spread the true light of Islam in the country through the education of children. Therefore, I consider it appropriate that a Middle School should be established in Qadian. ” (Tabligh-e-Risalat, Vol. 6 [First Publication] pp. 153-155)
