102 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 1 ْ ْنَھُم ي ُ بَ ء ٓ ُفَّارِ رُحَمَا ك ْ ال ُ عَلَی ء ٓ ْنَ مَعَهٗۤ اَشِدَّا ی مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اهللِ وَالَّذِ Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. And those who are with him are hard against the disbeliever, tender among themselves. This was a time when the Holy Prophet sa was accompanied by a large number of believers, who fought against the disbelievers in war. The name that Moses as mentioned in his prophecy was Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and this was the name of the Holy Prophet sa , which carried the nature of majesty, because even Moses as himself was characterised by majesty. Jesus as on the other hand, referred to the Holy Prophet sa by his name Ahmad, because he was himself characterised by beauty. Now, since our community also possesses a nature of grace and beauty, it has been named Ahmadi. ” The Promised Messiah as said: “Adam, peace be upon him, was born on a Friday and this has always been the real day of blessing, but the religious communities of the past were mistaken. Some have taken Saturday to be their holy day, while others have chosen Sunday. The Noble Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, selected the most befitting of days. Similarly, the various sects of Islam have erred. Some call themselves Hanafi , others Maliki , certain others Shia and some Sunni. However, the Noble Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, only had two names: Muhammad and Ahmad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. There can only be, therefore, two sects within the Muslims: Muhammadi and Ahmadi. The Muhammadi sect will exist only in an era in which might and glory is to be manifested, while the name Ahmadi is reserved for a time that is characterised by beauty. ” Seeking Forgiveness from God and Certainty of Faith An individual submitted: “Your Holiness, please pray for me so that I am blessed with children. ” The Promised Messiah as said: “Recite the prayer for God’s for- giveness abundantly. Through this Allah the Exalted not only forgives a person’s sins, but also grants them children as well. Remember, certainty of faith is a great thing. God Almighty always supports the one who has absolute faith in Him. ” 2 1 al-Fath, 48:30 2 Al-Hakam , vol. 5, no. 6, dated 31 January 1901, p. 11 p. 89
