On 30 June 1899, I received the revelation: ‘First unconsciousness, then coma, then death.’ And the understanding given at the same time was that this revelation pertained to a sincere friend whose death would cause me sorrow. So this revelation was announced to several members of my Jama‘at and it was published in Al-Hakam of 30 June 1899. Thereafter, towards the end of July 1899 a very sincere friend of mine, Dr. Muhammad Burhey Khan, Assistant Surgeon, died suddenly in Qasur. He first lost consciousness, then suddenly entered into a coma and then passed on from this mortal world. There was a difference of only 20–22 days between the time of his death and this revelation.
