One morning, the words
‘Abdullah Khan Dera Ismail Khan
issued forth from my tongue by way of God’s revelation, from which I was made to understand that on that day a gentleman bearing this name would send me some money. I communicated this revelation of God to certain Hindus who deny the continuation of revelation and consider that all of it terminated with the Vedas. I said to them, ‘If the money does not arrive today I am not in the right.’
One from among them, Bishan Das, a Hindu and Brahman by caste, who is now posted somewhere as a patwari [village registrar], blurted out, ‘I shall test this matter and I shall go to the Post Office.’ In those days, the mail used to arrive in Qadian at 2 PM. He immediately went to the Post Office and returned wonderstruck with the news that, in fact, one ‘Abdullah Khan by name who was an Extra Assistant at Dera Ismail Khan had sent some money.
That Hindu, deeply amazed and surprised, repeatedly asked me, ‘Who has informed you about this matter?’ His face showed signs of amazement and bewilderment. I told him, ‘He has informed me who knows the hidden secrets; He is the God whom we worship.’ Since Hindus are simply unaware of the Living God who always demonstrates the testimonials to His power and the truth about Islam, therefore, generally speaking, the Hindus are wont to initially deny the wonderful miracles of God Almighty, and when they happen to come across someone at whose hands the hidden phenomena of the unseen are manifested, they are overwhelmed by bewilderment and amazement.
This is also what happened in the case of Lalah Sharampat. As I have stated earlier, his brother Bishambar Das and another person named Khushal were sent to prison because of some crime. Not because of reverence [in me] but with intent to test, Sharampat had enquired of me what would be the outcome of this trial. He had also requested for prayer. So I continued to pray for him for a number of days. Ultimately, God Almighty, who is the Knower of the Unseen, disclosed to me at night that the resolution of the trial will be that Bishambar Das’s prison term would be reduced by half. This is what I had seen in a revelatory vision that I had cut half of his prison term with my own pen. But it was disclosed to me that Khushal would have to serve his full prison term and not a day would be reduced and that the reduction of Bishambar Das’s term by half would simply be due to the effect of prayer. However, none of the two would be acquitted and the file of the case would surely come back to the District [Court] and the outcome would be as stated.
I remember that when all these things had been fulfilled, Sharampat was amazed and the powers of our God Almighty left him utterly astonished. He wrote a letter to me that all these things had been fulfilled on account of your good luck. But alas, he failed to derive any benefit from the light of Islam. He is an Aryah [Samajist] these days. Let alone being guided [to Islam], I do not even expect that these people could ever testify truthfully. Although they boastfully preach that one ought to support the truth, they do not practise it. However, I do believe that a witness like Sharampat will come out with the truth if he is required to testify on oath and in the oath he is made to state that perjury on his part may adversely affect his offspring. He is witness to a number of prophecies made by me. It may be that, as a tactic for evasion, he would pretend that he doesn’t remember. But the oath is such a thing as would surely revive his memory. In case he lies, my God will certainly punish him. This, too, will be a Sign that will be manifested. He is witness to as many as nine clear Signs.
I thank God Almighty that not only Muslims but all the nations in the world are witness to my Signs. [So Allah be praised for all this].
