186. [One Hundred Eighty-Sixth] Sign

Similarly, about three years ago, I was shown in a vision one morning that my son, Mubarak Ahmad, had run up to me in great confusion and disorientation. He was extremely restless and disoriented and said, ‘Abba, water!’ I intimated this vision not just to my family members but to many others as there were about two hours before its occurrence. Thereafter, we went to our garden right away. It was about 8 o’clock in the morning and Mubarak Ahmad was also with us. He was about four years old at the time and started playing with some other young children in a corner of the garden. I was standing under a tree at that time and I saw Mubarak Ahmad running fast towards me in great perturbation and when he reached me, all that he could utter was, ‘Abba, water!’; and then he seemed to become semi-unconscious.

The well was at about fifty steps from there. I picked him up and carried him in my arms, as rapidly as I could, running to the well and poured some water into his mouth. When he regained consciousness and was somewhat better, I asked him about the cause of this incident. Thereupon, he told me that, at the suggestion of some of the children, he had swallowed a large quantity of ground salt and became delirious.

His breathing was obstructed and he almost choked. Thus, God healed him in this manner and the prophecy of the vision was fulfilled.
