DawudTalut
Peace be upon you.
Peace and mercy of Allah be on you……It is seen a lot in the world that human continue to sink in worldliness. A chaos is there to gain worldly means, a race is on. God the Exalted and deen (religion) are being given a secondary status, rather there are such worldly people who deny the Being of Allah the Exalted. Their number is increasing, they consider religion as an absurd thing, nauzobillah [we seek refuge of Allah].
==
But in such time, there are people who are in search of Allah the Exalted and the religion which can take to Him. They want to make connection with Him, they want to recognize the true religion and join it. For it, they pray anxiously. Surely, when virtuous people pray earnestly for this objective, Allah the Exalted guides them to the right path; He makes means for their satisfaction and understanding of real religion, by various ways. He increases their eman and yaqin [faith and certainty].
==
In this era, to grant divine nearness, and to make people understand the true religion, Allah the Exalted has sent the true-servant of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) with status of Promised Messiah and Covenanted Mahdi, according to His promise. Allah the Exalted told the world to come in the Bai'at of Promised Messiah so that they get paths of His nearness and get the purpose of their worships and see the scenes of acceptance of their prayers.
==
Allah the Exalted guides the true enthusiasts to truth and increases their faith. The past of Jama'at and present too, is full of such events. Everyday such events take place in one or another village, city and country of the world, which not only increase the faith of those who get guidance and join the Jama'at of Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) but also become cause of revival of the faith of olden and born Ahmadis.

Some experiences and events how God the Exalted makes means of guidance for people:
Amir sahib of Gambia mentions that a woman, sister Kanifati, 65, from Miamina, a village of east district had sickness in feet for last 10 years and no cure was found from anywhere. She was unable to walk due to it. She went for cure to a far place Bansang from home. There, by chance she watched Friday Sermon by Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (a.t.) on MTA. On return to her village, she was told in a dream that ‘the one you saw on TV is the one you should follow because he is telling you the right and the way of salvation’. She did Bai’at after the dream. She said, right after the Bai'at, the ailment in her feet ended. For this reason, her faith increased a lot. Now she conveys message to all village. She tells people how her ailment went away by the blessing of joining Jama'at Ahmadiyya. Allah the Exalted guides the one whom He wants to save due to one’s virtue or likes one’s virtue, in amazing ways.
A worldly person can say she is an ignorant uneducated woman of village, it could be her heart’s delusion. But whom, Allah the Exalted grants wealth of faith and then make one strong in it, they consider such worldly people as ignorant!

In Burkina Faso, a French speaking country of western Africa, near desert Sahara, how Allah the Exalted guided a person in this far area. Not only country is far, the person lives in a small village there. Muballigh Incharge wrote that Suado sahib of Leo region accepted Ahmadiyyat after Jalsa Salana Germany. Suado sahib said: When not Ahmadi, I used to regularly listened to the Ahmadiyya radio and when Ahmadi delegation visited his village to convey message, being an influential person of the village I would take care of them well and would arrange for their work of conveying the message. (He was kind to Ahmadis). Sometimes latter, clergies learned it and came to me and asked not to hear Ahmadiyya radio at all and keep no contact with them too because they will damage my Islam. Incited by the clerics, I stopped listening to the Ahmadiyya radio or meeting any Ahmadis. After sometimes, by chance, when I was coming back from a journey, I made a stop in a mosque of a village to offer Salaat. Salaat had begin so I started to make wudu (ablution) quickly. Meanwhile, another person entered the mosque and said this is an Ahmadiyya village and mosque too is theirs. Upon hearing this, I thought where have I stuck, I was avoiding then since quite long, so I made wudu very slowly so that Salaat should end and I should offer it at my own. [Anyway, he had to offer Salaat there. Allah the Exalted may had liked any of his virtue that is why he was forced to offer Salaat there due to events]. The same night I saw in dream that there is very big mob, and I am displacing people inside the mob. Going ahead, I see one man is standing and mob of thousands is surrounding him. I ask a person that who is this man surrounded by people? The person replied, he is the very same whom you have to listen to, but clergies have taken you away from real path.
I woke up then, this dream affected me so much that I restored my connection with Ahmadis again. One day I phoned Murabbi house and told Murrabi sahib that I want to do Bai'at. He told me to come at a certain day to Murabbi house. When I arrived on the appointed day there, all people were watching some program on TV. I too came forward and saw TV, by seeing that scene I was surprised because exactly the same scene was on TV which I had seen in dream. Upon my asking, Murabbi sahib told me that it is concluding session of Jalsa Salana and our Khalifah is addressing. I asked Murabbi sahib to immediately take my Bai'at. I swear to God that the same scene and the same man I had seen in dream.
By the favour of Allah the Exalted, he has become Ahmadi along with his family, and conveying message to more people of the village.
The person who has passed through such personal experiences and he has gained guidance of Allah the Exalted, surely he continues to gain strength in his Eman. Many people write to Huzur (a.t.) that the way we have done Bai'at and accepted Ahmadiyyat by getting satisfaction from Allah the Exalted and by seeing sign by Allah the Exalted, no one can shake our Eman. We do not need any further argument too.
---
Huzur (a.t.) said some people become stubborn in doing opposition to the limit that they do not want to hear words of wisdom. But there are others who are not exceeded in arrogance, and have quite a civility. Allah the Exalted guides those who do not have arrogance and have civility. If they get benefit from this guidance they become beneficiary of favours of Allah the Exalted.
A similar incident was experienced by Ahmad Sahib from Syria. Firstly, he was advanced in opposition. Then he was given thought to seek guidance from Allah the Exalted to find truth. He received the divine guidance. He said: My connections were with Ahmadis, we would mutually meet outside and at homes. I agreed with their most things but would stick at death of Jesus issue. The reason was that I was waiting for long time for the Messiah to descend from sky, and it was my old time desire to join Messiah’s army to set Baitul Maqdus free. By hearing death of Jesus, all of my claimed dreams were shattered. One day some Ahmadi friends were sitting in my home including Mutazil Qazaq Sahib. The talk began about death of Jesus. I told Ahmadis I ask you in the name of God not to ever talk about this topic in my home. At this, Qazaq sahib said I have a request too that you pray to God the Exalted for guidance about this. I liked his words and from that evening, I began to pray to God the Exalted with crying.
When I slept at night I saw in dream that I am traveling toward a high place. A piece of brittle land comes in way. Stepping on it, feeling came that it is taking me to a deep ditch. In this state of worry, a person lifts me up by holding from shoulder and tells O Abu Hasan [his kuniat, patronymic] now never come to this place and rest assure that Esa (a.s.) has died. Then he said, now keep walking on your path.
When I woke up, I phoned my Ahmadi brother and said I have to go to Mutazil Qazaq sahib. When we both arrived at his home, as I entered, I was shocked to see a photo on wall and asked whose photo is this? He told me it is the photo of Hazrat Promised Messiah Imam Mahdi (on whom be peace). As I heard it, I said I want to do Bai'at right now. Because the photo on the wall was of the very person who, in dream, pulled me by holding my shoulders from quagmire like soil and said Hazrat Esa (on whom be peace) has died.

Allah the Exalted open paths through various means to understand deen and to get truth; sometimes they join Jama'at by dreams, other times through propagation of message, by getting and reading literature or book about Jama'at Ahmadiyya or true teaching of Islam, sometimes by being impressed by moral of an Ahmadi. These days many people know about real Islam by watching MTAi [mtaDOTtv] and join Ahmadiyyat.
Muballigh from Benin wrote that a chief of the local area was initially an idolater. Message was given to him, he became Ahmadi and began to practice real Islam. The heart which was target of shirk it bowed before God the One, not only this, he began to call area’s believers (in Allah) towards real Islam. So when a mosque in his area was inaugurated, he delivered an address, in which he said, “I do not understand, why non-Ahmadis oppose Ahmadis, today it is Jama'at Ahmadiyya which is conveying message of Islam to the ends of the world. I was Mushrik till a year ago, and king of Mushriks. The Muballigh of Jama'at Ahmadiyya changed my thought, and showed me the true face of Islam so I joined Islam. If Jama'at Ahmadiyya is bringing Christians and Mushriks in Islam, why you are bothered. This mosque is open to all people, if a Christians will come to this mosque to worship Allah, he will not be stopped. You people stop opposition and see by coming in, here the only lesson of love, peace and brotherhood will be gained. Jama'at Ahmadiyya only wants goodness for the world. My heart wants that I should make a house with the mosque here and inform every comer that very Jama'at Ahmadiyya is the true Islam.”
Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (a.t.) said that, on one side, there are those leaders and scholars who, beaten by arrogance, are making discord in the name of Islam. Due to personal egos, making Muslim shed blood of other Muslim….. On the other hand, Allah the Exalted likes some virtue done by a Mushrik, or does a favour to him, and makes him stand to tell the true Islamic teaching to those who make only claim to practice Islam, and teach them to avoid mischief and discord. It is the very act of Allah the Exalted, how He favours upon a humble person but if he is high in arrogance, no matter he offers hundred thousands Salaat, prays and consider himself virtuous, he does not get guidance from Allah the Exalted.
