The Devotion of Life — Page 246
246 people of the world, many worldly tasks lie ahead; however, our life should be completely dedicated for the service of the faith and for the revival of Islam. ” (Tareekh-e-Ahmadiyyat vol. 9 p. 558) Hadrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad Sahib rh was the first to respond to this ‘Tehrik’ of devotion. In March 1944 Hadrat Khalifatul Masih II ra said, “Dearest Mirza Nasir Ahmad was the first among our family to dedicate him self. ” (Tareekh-e-Ahmadiyyat vol. 9 p. 558) In those days Hadrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad rh was a student in Germany. He expressed his life devotion in his letter as follows: I submit to Huzur that if Huzur finds it appropriate then this servant is, as ever before, present for service. I have never aspired to have the qualifications of B. A. and M. A. and Allah the Exalted is witness that although I have never expressed this before and although some other thoughts led me to pursue this course, I am already dedicated, yet I offer myself once again to Huzur. This servant is present right away for the service of Ahmadiyyat and considers service of the Movement nobler than all other honour. I find my life empty and useless when separated from the service of the Movement, and if Allah the Exalted enables me so. Sincerely,
