Humble Way of Great Financial Sacrifice Once a proposal was under consideration that the then existing two buildings (which were very old) in the Ahmadiyya Jama’at UK centre, be demolished and replaced by a large complex comprising a big hall, offices, two large residences and a small flat. The Jama’at did not have the necessary funds for the project at that time. It is not Jama’at’s policy to take bank loans on interest. Choudhry Sahib was requested to lend the amount to be paid back to him in instalments over a period of time. He agreed. In accordance with Qur’anic teachings, a contract was written down to the effect that Choudhry Sahib would pay the Jama’at one hundred thousand Pounds £100,000 and the Jama’at would be responsible to pay it back. £100,000 at that time represented a substantial amount in real terms. The draft was given to Choudhry Sahib one evening. He said that he would study it carefully, sign it and return it the next day.
