Quotes

• In addition to many other important works, Hazrat Musleh Mau'ud (ra) constructed a huge spiritual dam in the name of Tahrik-e-Jadid. The financial sacrifices of Tahrik-e-Jadid were different from those of common donations. The result was that the Ahmadiyya Community achieved so much spiritual progress that its image transformed on the face of the earth. Through this dam of Tahrik-e-Jadid, the spiritual water of Islam was delivered far and wide in Africa, then delivered in Europe, delivered in America and delivered in islands.
