Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a fitnah in society as he tried to turn people away from Islam by his foolish claims. The commander of the cavalry and his officer in charge of the believers were fair-minded. He prostrated at the feet of Bahá’u’lláh, and begged Him to accept him and one of his sons as a sacrifice in the path of Abdu’l-Baha, to which Bahá’u’lláh consented.

From the very first day, the captors, high and low alike, began looting Varqa’s belongings. Muhammad was Wonderful both in his name and achievements.
