On one occasion, a friend submitted to the Promised Messiah (as) that they would like to come to Qadian for the purpose of business. On this, the Promised Messiah (as) said: “This very intention is corrupt. You should repent. One ought to come here for the sake of religion and should reside here with the intention of reforming their life to come. This should be the intention, and then, if along with this, a person engages in business as well to attain the objectives of their residing here, there is no harm. The actual intention must be religious and not worldly in nature. Are other cities not more well-suited to do business? The actual purpose in coming to Qadian should be nothing other than religious. After that, whatever you receive, consider it to be the grace of God.”
