` Allah had promised to those among you who believe and dogood works that He will surely make them Successors in theearth, as He made Successors from among those who werebefore them; and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them; and that He will surely

give them in exchange security and peace after their fear: Theywill worship Me, and they will not associate anything with Me.Then who so is ungrateful after that, they will be the rebellious.

[Surah Al-Nur, Verse 56) ]

` Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad aba



` Under divine commandment thePromised Messiah initiated the Baiat

on 23rd March, 1889 and the very firstperson who swore the pledge of allegiance was Maulana HakeemNooruddin

` Like Hadhrat Abu Bakr ra

, HadhratNooruddinra established the unity of theCommunity after the death of thePromised Messiahas.



` He laid the foundation for the institution of Khilafat.

He successfully thwarted(use a simpler word) the

designs of a group of power hungry, intriguing and

jealous persons albeit a small minority.` English translation of the Holy Quran.

` First foreign mission was established in London.



` Extensions were carried out to MasjidAqsa andTalimul Islam High School and Boarding housebuildings.

` Noor Hospital and Masjid Noor were inaugurated.

` A number of publications were started to broadenthe propagation activities of the Jamaat.Amongthem, "Noor" from Qadian, "Al Haque" from Delhiand "Paigham-e-Sulha" from Lahore.



` Also known as the

"Promised

Reformer", Hadhrat

Mahmood Ahmad

introduced many

improvements into

the administration of

the Community.` Also known as

"Musleh Maoud"



` The Holy Prophet Muhammad saw had given the

tidings of the advent of a spiritual, pious and

Promised son of Mahdi at a time when Islam would

be at a stage of decline and depression. He hadprophesied he would come with a mission to revive

and strengthen the Islamic theology and, through

him, Islam, would resurge on the surface of the

Earth.



` In June 1913, he started, "The Al Fazl" a

news paper for the Jamaat in which,

apart from the national news, educative,

informative, historical, preaching and

reformatory articles were published (u also

listAl-fazl as an achievement of the first khalifa)

` One of his most important achievements

was the founding of a strong system for

propagation and preaching of Islam

within the country and abroad-NazaratDawato Tabligh in 1919



` He was bestowed with such a meaningful wisdom of

the Holy Quran that, if anyone, with whatever knowledge and following whatever religion, criticisedthe Holy Quran, by the grace of Allah, he wouldconvincingly silence and satisfy him through Quranalone.

` He got the Holy Quran translated in variousimportant languages of the world

` During his Khilafat many mosques were constructedin foreign countries.

` Two of his most renowned achievements were theestablishments of Tehrik-e-Jadid and Waqf-e-Jadid



` In order to consolidate and organize the Jamaat heestablished the central and regional Anjumans and,for better functioning various important Nazaratswere established under the aegis of Sadar Anjuman

Ahmadiyya Qadian.` Hazrat Musleh Maoud planned, re-organized and

consolidated the financial structure of the Jamaat onvery sound footings by initiating various schemesand appeals for donation and contribution.



` As Khalifa, Hadhrat Nasir Ahmadoffered great leadership andguidance when Pakistan declaredthe Community to be non-Muslim.

` In Talmud, there is a passagewhich indicates that on the death of the Messiah his spiritual Kingdomwill pass to his son and grandson.The much awaited prophecy wasfulfilled when Hazrat Mirza

Bashiruddin MahmoodAhmad wasgranted a son on 16th November,1909.



` Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad, the second Caliph,wrote to a friend that God had informed him that He would givehim a son who would strengthen the fabric of Islam. Theprophecy about the grandson speaks of Yahya. Basing hisconclusion on the word "Yahya", the Promised Messiah thought

rightly that the child would be given a long life unlike MubarakAhmad son of the Promised Messiah who died at a tender age.From the Holy Quran, we learn that Yahya was taught the wordof God at a young age. Similarly, Hazrat Hafiz Mirza Nasir Ahmad committed the Quran to memory in his younger years.



` The Fazle Omar

Foundation

` The Nusrat JehanLeap Forward

Programme

` The Jubilee Fund



` His golden achievement is the

guidance he offered to theCommunity when Pakistan

declared this God- fearing

Community a Non-Muslim

minority. That the Community in its

totality has not suffered fromdisintegration, establishes the fact

that the Caliph is no paper-tiger

and that he can stand trials and

tribulations. Equally historic is his

sermon that we are Muslims.



` Under his guidance the Ahmadiyya

Community progressed at a remarkable

speed in the propagation of Islamthroughout the world building and

running schools, colleges, hospitals,

preaching centres, mosques, translating

and publishing of Holy Quran.
