N UBUWWAT AND K HIL A FAT 20 Messiah as and the awaited Mahd i as was a true Ras u l. He appeared to guide mankind in this age. By following him alone the world can find salvation. We declare these matters everywhere and by the grace of Allah, we cannot forsake these beliefs for the sake of anybody. Combined Testimony of All Ahl-e-Paigh a m 10 20) Combined testimony of all Ahl-e-Paigh a m: All we Ahmad i s who are associated one way or another with the newspaper Paigh a m-e- S ul h , declare openly taking God—Who knows the secrets of the hearts—as our witness that it is falsehood to spread such misunder- standings about us. We believe that the Promised Messiah and the awaited Mahd i as was a Nab i , Ras u l , and saviour of this age. It is our faith that the salvation of the world depends upon accepting the Holy Prophet sa and his servant the Promised Messiah as. We also believe his true khal i fah our lord and leader Maul a n a Hadrat Maulav i N u r-ud-D i n ra to be a righteous leader. If after this announcement anybody spreads misunderstandings about us, then we entrust our affair to Allah. . . . And I entrust my cause to Allah. Verily, Allah sees all His servants.
