  1. Alhamdu – Lilahi Rabil Alamin.
    Now the enemies of Ahmadiyyat will say again that we are the agents of the British. But thanks to Britain, it helps us Ahmadis to propagate the true teachings of Islam.
    The mullahs think that the hadith which says something about the rising of the sun in the west in the latter days, actually think, the sun will literally stop rising from the east and will start rising from the west and sets in the east.
    The real meaning of this hadith has been explained by the Promised Messiah, that, in the latter days the sun of Islam will rise from the west. Meaning the western world will also be blessed with Islam and will embrace Islam. The propagation of Islam will now start in the west and that is what is happening right now. Hazur is doing a wonderful work. May Allah protect and prolong his life.
    Look how Ahmadiyyat is spreading in Europe and America. They are kicking out other muslims but inviting Ahmadiyyat in their mist.
    The sun is on the rise in the west for those who have got wisdom and it is rising with speed and no one can do anything to stop its growth. It is a miracle unfolding daily through MTA International.
    May Allah bless Dr. Iftikhar Ahmad Ayaz.
    My best regards,
    Wasalam,
