A Great Future For Africa Following is the concluding part of the speech delivered by Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II, the Supreme Head of the Ahmad- iyya Movement at a party arranged by the Khuddamul Ahmad- iyya, Rabwah Pakistan in honour of Alhaj Alhasan Atta of the Gold Coast when the Alhaj visited the Headquarters of the Movement to attend the Annual Conference as the representative of the Ahmadiyya Movement, Gold Coast۔"To you Mr۔Hasan my special message is that in future- I cannot say near future ΟΙ distant future-I am reading the writing on the wall that there is a great future for your race۔God does not forsake a race for all the times to come۔He does it for some time but not for ever۔He once gives opportu- nity to one nation and one continent and then He gives the same opportunity to another nation and continent۔Now is your time۔** Rest assured your glorious time is fast approaching۔People were made to think that yours is an inferior race۔I can say about myself that in my younger age, when I used to read English books, I used to think your race as interior one۔But when I grew up and read the traditions and the Holy Quran, I came to know that it was all humbug۔God has not made an exception of your people۔God mentions all races and nations as equals۔When He sends Prophets in the world He gives sufficient intelligence also to the men who are addressed to accept that prophet۔If you have not sufficient intelligence, or in other words are an inferior race, then God forbid it is the fault of God who sent a prophet to a people who have no intelligence to accept him۔But this is not the case۔Islam says Europeans, Americans, Asiatics, Africans and people in far off islands are all equal۔All of them have the same power of understanding, learning, memorising and inventing۔Americans consider themselves as super men۔They even hate Europeans۔** You have been oppressed and ruled for a very long time,
