The following is a rendtion by Mirza Ahmed Beg sahib who highlights an account related by the editor of "Al-Hakam" magizine in the book "Fazle Umar" on page 72-73, "It is worth noting that children at one stage are very keen on watching sports. Often we observe that children, neglecting that which may benefit them, thereby suffering loss, travel long distances to watch such displays. However, i am certainly aware of some other boys who are students of Madrassa Ta'limul Islam. They can be found, away from the playing field, weeping and wailing before their Lord in some quiet corner upon seeing the weakness of their own team and the strength of the opposition. This is not a small thing that may be overlooked. A ponderous soul can conclude as to what these children believed to be the key to their success. For this one can contemplate their heart's desire and belief, which was the result of a high level of education and training they had received...""Somehow or other the game reached halftime with the scores level. There was a five minute break, or for some, a chance to pray. The match commenced again and everyone played his heart out to try and win. The Glory of God! About 15 to 20 minutes into the second half, Ta'limul Islam School Qadian Footbal Team scored a goal against Khalsa Collegiate. There was no doubt about the goal and everyone accepted it without a murmur. Allaho Akbar! The minute the goal was scored, all the boys no matter where they were stood and whatever direction they were facing collectively fell into prostration with the words Allaho Akbar! The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community present all fell into prostration to show their gratitude to God for this favor. Upon seeing this all the other Muslims also followed suit and fell into prostration. It was a strange sight and a strang atmosphere! Those present were deeply moved for instead of celebrating the goal with cheers and hoorays, instead of shouting and jumping, all fell to the ground to praise their Lord. Everyone was moved by this spectacle and everyone praised it."
