يَا أَحْمَدُ بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكَ OAhmad! God has put His blessings in you FULFILLMENT OF PREDICTIONS IN THE FORM OF ANNUAL CONVENTIONS The sayings of prophets are apparently ordinary words but in reality they are inspired words۔Their dreams come true and their dreams and revelations have different inanifestations of meanings and their foretellings, given in revelations, are signs of great truths and they are fulfilled with grandeur at their destined time۔In the present times, the great ‘Mujadiď (rivivalist) of the True Faith, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Gadiani lived a contented life in un ordinary, remote village, unknown to the outside world۔God chose him, made him known to the world and revealed many a sign in support of his truthfulness۔One of these was the sign of "prosperity"۔A single man attracted attention of the world۔Piety, family and followers, knowledge and wealth all prospered۔This tiding fulfilled itself in many ways and will continue to do so۔In the following lines, a few predictionsisigns are being related which were given to Hazrat Mirze Ghulam Ahmad Qadlani, the Promised Messiah and have come true in the form of the "Annual Convention", as a source of enriching belief and will continue doing so Inshallah۔The Promised Messiah, while relating a dream of 1874, said, "I saw an angel in the form of a boy sitting on a high platform, holding a wholesome naan (bread) in his hand, it was shining bright۔He gave it to me and said, 'This is for you and your companions۔' (darvesh)۔This dream is of the time when I was not known and had no claim, neither had lany company of followers۔Now I have a com- pany of a good many people who have put faith above worldly things and made themselves 'darvėsh'۔They have, further, migrated from their homes, leaving their relations and friends behind and have come to stay in my neighbourhood۔From the 'bread" I interpreted that God Himself would look after me and my companions for our needs, and the worry of food will not distract us۔It has been so thereafter۔" (Nezool-e Musi: Py 206, Roohani Khazain Vol 18۔Pgs 584۔585) This dream was fulfilled in such a way that۔the "free kitchen" of the Promised Messiah never ceased to function for a single day۔Millions of people are benefiting from both, the spiritual inspi- ration and physical existence of this free kitchen, In 1881 God Almighty named him "Bait- Ullah", this being a prediction that people from all over the world will converge for the convention, In 1882, God Almighty inspired him to say this prayer۔رب لا تذر في برما وَأَنتَ خَيرُ الْوَارِثِين (Tazkara Pg۔47) 4
