Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya: The Second Manifestation وَعَدَ الله الذينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّلِحَتِ ليَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وو مِن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ آمَنَّا ، يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ فَأُولَيْكَ هُمُ الفَسِقُونَ اَ ء "Allah has promised to those among you who believe and do good works that He will surely make them Successors in the earth, as. He made Successors from among those who were before them; and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them; and that He will surely give them in exchange security and peace after their fear: They will worship Me, and they will not associate anything with Me. Then who so ever is ungrateful after that, they will be the rebellious. " (Al-Quran, 24:56). Thus, He [Allah] manifests two kinds of power: (1). He shows His hand of might through prophets. . And (2), at the time of the demise of the prophet when difficulties mount and the enemy is in full might and thinks that they (the followers of the prophet) are in disarray and is sure that now this community will be destroyed. Even now some within the community become hesitant and their backs are broken and some unfortunates among them even turn apostate, then God manifests His strong hand of might and sustains the collapsing community. Thus, He shows patience until the end and watches this divine miracle. (Hazrat Ahmadas,. Al-Wassiyat, pages 6-7). Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas. Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Ira.
