Sir Chaudhry Zafarulla Khan passed away on September 1, 1985—41 years ago.
Four decades later, Pakistan has yet to find a statesman of his caliber to represent it before the world with such dignity, intellect and courage. How sad that we never found another like him.
Many people don't know this...... ⬇️
"A man who [...] goes out to the mosque for his prayer; if he dies in this state, his guarantee is upon Allah." ~Hadith
Not only did he die on his way to the Mosque, but he was actually martyred. ❤️❤️
شہید مرحوم کی عظمتوں کو سلام
In his Friday Sermon today, His Holiness announced the martyrdom of 65-year-old Mirza Safdar Mahmood. He was shot dead by an unidentified assailant in Pakistan on the 2nd of September while travelling from his workplace to the local Ahmadiyya Muslim mosque in Mandi Bahauddin, Punjab, for the evening prayers. Mr Mahmood died at the scene after the assailant fired three shots from behind and then fled.
Paying tribute to the deceased, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said that the martyr was a distinguished Ahmadi in his area and worked as a mechanic in his own workshop. He was honest, principled, and averse to falsehood. He was regular in his prayers and regular in donating to charity. Mr Mahmood would at times provide his services for free or charge a lower rate for people whose cars had broken down while on a journey.
He leaves behind his wife and two sons.
Pakistan: The killing of Ahmadi community official Mirza Safdar Mahmood in Mandi Bahauddin underscores the grave risks faced by Ahmadis amid continued anti-Ahmadi violence and hostility.
Authorities must ensure a prompt, impartial investigation.

The awakening : a poem by Rumi.
in the early dawn of happiness
you gave me three kisses
so that I would wake up
to this moment of love
i tried to remember in my heart
what I’d dreamt about
during the night
before I became aware
of this moving
of life
i found my dreams
but the moon took me away
it lifted me up to the firmament
and suspended me there
i saw how my heart had fallen
on your path
singing a song
between my love and my heart
things were happening which
slowly slowly
made me recall everything
you amuse me with your touch
although I can’t see your hands.
you have kissed me with tenderness
although I haven’t seen your lips
you are hidden from me.
but it is you who keeps me alive
perhaps the time will come
when you will tire of kisses
i shall be happy
even for insults from you
i only ask that you
keep some attention on me...
the awakening...

Before a war between India and Pakistan, there is a WAR going on in Pakistan already for Ahmadi Moslims, take actions against that first. This is so cruel. We need to launch operation for this aswell i think?!
How heartless can you be?!
Na de uitspraak van de SC van Pakistan in augustus 2024 wordt het leven voor de Ahmadies in Pakistan steeds onmogelijk gemaakt.

I swear by Allah that this man is Allah’s khalifa on earth.
I swear by Allah that this man has such beautiful recitation that we have seen Arabs from around the world come to pray behind him and have accepted that they have never had such comfort in their prayers (by the way recitation doesn’t determine haqq)
I swear by Allah that he will be in the company of the righteous
I swear by Allah Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) is the true Messiah and Imam Mahdi and that Hadrat Isa (as) has died and won’t physically return
Allah guide the sincere Muslims.
May Allah Guide you Musa
