Some Distinctive Features of Islam

1

AFTER THE TRADITIONAL RECITATION and reciting the Surah Al- Fatiha (the opening chapter of the Holy Quran), the Head of Jama‘at Ahmadiyya commenced as follows:


1 I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, the One, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. After that I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the rejected. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds, the Gracious, the Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgement. Thee alone do we worship and Thee alone do we implore for help. Guide us in the right path—the path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings, those who have not incurred Thy displeasure, and those who have not gone astray. [Publisher]
