21. Twenty First Sign

Some thirty years ago, my respected father—may God bless him with His mercy—fell ill near the end of his life. On the day he was destined to breathe his last, I received the revelation at noon:

Simultaneous with it, I was made to think that it indicated his demise and its meanings are: ‘I swear by the heavens and I swear by the tragic incident which shall befall after sunset.’

It was a message of condolence from God Almighty to His humble servant. I understood thereby that my father would die after sunset. Many people were informed of this revelation. I swear by Allah the Almighty—in whose hands my life rests and to lie against whom is an act of Satan and of an accursed one—that it happened accordingly.

On that day, my father’s real illness, which was renal colic, had been cured. Only slight dysentery remained and he could go to the toilet on his own strength, without any assistance. When the sun set, on return from the lavatory, as soon as he sat down on the bedstead, death’s rattle started. In the same condition of death rattle, he said to me, ‘See what this is.’ Then he lay down. Before this, I had never had the occasion to see anyone speak during the death rattle and talk clearly and firmly in the state of a death rattle. After this, exactly as the sun set, he passed away from this transitory world. [Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return]. This was the very first of all the revelations and was the first prophecy that God disclosed to me.

God informed me at noon that this was going to happen and it came to pass after sunset. It is an honour for me and I will not forget it that God Almighty condoled with me at the time of my father’s demise and swore by the death of my father the way He swore by the heavens. Those who have a satanic spirit rampant within them would wonder how it could be that God Almighty confers such honour on someone that by declaring his father’s death to be a great shock, He should swear by it. But, once again, I swear by the God of Honour and Glory that this incident is true and that it was God, indeed, who informed me about it by way of condolence and said:

And it came to pass accordingly. [So Allah be praised for all this].
