To Chiefs, Leaders, Wealthy individuals and Officers of the Government 18 O worthy ones of Islam, may God Almighty inspire your hearts with greater good intentions than all other faiths, and may He, in this time of crisis, make you true servants of His dear faith. In order to win His pleasure, I hereby inform you of the important fact that God Almighty has, at the turn of this fourteenth century, appointed me from Himself for the revival and support of the true faith of Islam, so that in this tumultuous age I would proclaim the excellences of the Holy Qur’an and the greatness of the Holy Prophetsa and—with the help of the light, blessings, miracles and divine knowledge that have been bestowed upon me—respond to all the enemies who are attacking Islam.

In accordance with the characteristics of Prophets and Messengers and through the blessings of obedience to the Best of Mankind and the most exalted of Messengerssa, I have been exalted above the great many saints who have passed before me. To follow in my footsteps is the way to salvation and happiness and blessings and to go against me is to turn away from God and to be the victim of despair.

On one occasion, I received the revelation which indicated that there was a vigorous discussion in the High Assembly in Heaven, from which I understood that God desired the revival of the faith, but that the High Assembly had not yet been apprised of the identity of the person who would revive the faith, and this was the cause of vigorous debate. It was at this time that in a dream I saw people searching for a Reformer. A man appeared and, gesturing towards me, said: i.e., this is the man who loves the Messenger of Allah.
[Brahin-e-Ahmadiyyah, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 1, p. 598 sub footnote 3]
This meant that the principal qualification for this mission was the love of the Holy Prophetsa and that this quality was to be found in me.
