“Though I am cognisant that people only gradually find the ability to serve by action, there is no doubt that a person’s actions strengthen in proportion to a person’s strength in faith. This is to such an extent that when a believer’s strength in faith matures and develops fully, they reach the station of a martyr (shaheed) because nothing can stand in their way. Such an individual is not hesitant or reluctant even to sacrifice their dear life.”
(Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, Malfuzat, Vol. II, p. 56)
