A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 33 ] Ahmadiyyat—The Sole Symbol of Universal Unity From time to time, various representatives of Pakistan have been visiting African countries. Here is an account of what one of them had to say about Ahmadiyyat, and how this ‘problem’ has been resolved. An article, written by a special envoy to the Middle East, Mr. Far i d S. Ja‘far i , was published in the Pakistan Times (Lahore). Mr. Ja‘far i writes about the Kashmiri delegation, of which he was a member, which was sent by the government of Pakistan to Africa. He wrote this note in English and I will give you the Urdu translation 5 : The Ahmad i missionaries are astonishingly popular here. Even the President, Nkrumah, likes them very much. I was told that they are truly serving humanity because they give religious and secular education to youth in Ghana and never create any kind of bitter- ness or hatred among people. According to your account, Ahmad i s go out to spread bit- terness and hatred. But here, your own representative says that Ahmad i s do not cause any bitterness or hatred. The reference continues 6 : 5. The excerpt given below was retranslated from Urdu and should be taken as a paraphrased version of the original ref- erence, not an exact quote. 6. Ibid.
