The Fulfilment of a Prophecy

Hazrat Amman Jan (ra) was feeling somewhat unwell on 3 January 1901. In this regard, His Holiness (as) mentioned during his walk: “A few days ago at home I said that I had seen a vision in which a woman has come to our house and said: ‘Something has happened to you’ (i.e. Hazrat Amman Jan—Editor) and then I received the revelation:

اَصِـحَّ زَوْجَتِیْ
My wife has recovered.

As such, yesterday, on 3 January 1901, this vision and the revelation vouchsafed to me was fulfilled. My wife suddenly fell unconscious and just as I had seen in my vision, a lady brought this news.”1

Fasting in Ramadan

The Promised Messiah (as) said: “The month of Ramadan is a blessed one. It is a month of prayer.”2

Then, the Promised Messiah (as) said: “As for me, I only leave my fast if I have reached a state that is near death. Otherwise, my disposition feels an aversion to foregoing the fasts. These are blessed days; they are days in which the grace and mercy of Allah Almighty are sent down.”

Simplicity

The Promised Messiah (as) said: “Remember that until you inculcate within yourselves the simplicity that is characteristic of children, one cannot follow the way of the Prophets.”3
