A life of selfless generosity.

Reflecting on the generosity of the Promised Messiah (as), Beloved Huzoor (aba) narrated: “Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad Sahib (ra) relates that, first of all, it should be clearly understood that the Promised Messiah (as) was not fond of any particular type of clothing. During the last few years of his life, he received many simple and tailored clothes as gifts, especially coats, waistcoats, trousers, and shirts, etc., which Sheikh Rahmatullah Sahib of Lahore would frequently bring with him as gifts on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. These were generally the clothes he wore. However, aside from this, he would occasionally have clothes made for himself as well. He usually purchased his own turbans and wrapped them as well. In the same manner that these clothes were made and worn, they were also continually given away, for people would constantly request them as blessed keepsakes. At times, it would even reach the point that he would give away a piece of garment as a blessed keepsake and immediately have another one made to wear in its place. Some discerning individuals would even send him an item of their clothes and at the same time, request the Promised Messiah (as) to give them one of his worn garments as a blessed keepsake.” ▶️ Stream the full Friday Sermon now on the MTAi App, via mta.tv, or via youtube.com/mtaonline.
