Logical Arguments for the Existence of God 127 to all countries of the world to preach Islam, and are baffling the world with their unprecedented sacrifices in the cause of God. This is not fiction, but fact. Even the enemy cannot hide under the veil of enmity and prejudice. An unknown villager, without resources, stood up and declared that he had been ordained by God to estab- lish His Majesty. The world rejected him and people of all faiths and nations opposed him with all their might and, intoxicated with their power, believed that in no time they would wipe him off the face of the earth. There were enemies all around—bloodthirsty ene- mies who had put their differences aside to unite, each one eager to be the first to strike. On the other hand, the one whom they regarded a ‘buzzing gnat’ or a water bubble was like a drawn sword in the hands of a protective God, killing whomsoever it fell upon and whosoever fell upon it was annihilated. Many strong men chal- lenged the champion of God, but, like kernels of corn crackling in the oven, they were destroyed in no time. Why, after all, did this happen? Look at the early condition of the Ahmadiyya Community, look at the opposition it faced, study its present condition, and then be fair: was this extraordi- nary success possible without the support of some Unseen Power? A lone, helpless, and totally ill-equipped figure stands up in the Name of God and, despite intense opposition from the whole world, establishes his authority all over the world within a short period of thirty to forty years, as if he alone rules the religious world. There are Ahmadiyya missions in India, Ceylon [now Sri Lanka], Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, England, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Trinidad, North America, South America, East Africa, West Africa, Mauritius, Malaya
