An Admonitory Sign — Page 8
[ 8 ] The Ahmad i s of Karachi were particularly worried that, although here today is Friday the 11 th of Rama da n, in Pakistan it is Friday, the 10 th of Rama da n. Earlier in a Friday sermon that I gave in Glasgow—I had informed the Jam a ‘at that there are some dreams that seem to indicate that the vision of ‘Friday the 10 th ’ that was shown, could quite possibly be related to the lunar nights. Thus in the interval since that sermon, a friend from Pakistan, Dr. Ta riq wrote of another strange and very interesting dream that seems to be related to this also. He writes, ‘one night I was greatly distressed and I cried a lot before God and sup- plicated as to when these days of trial will end and to know what is going to happen. ’ He says, ‘The layout that I saw in the dream that night, I cannot comprehend it. But since Allah tells you the interpretation of dreams and you are related to the affairs of the Jam a ‘at, therefore I am writing to you. The dream was that on a paper there is a drawing of a frame and on its upper side the number ‘10’ is written and ‘moon’ is written below. On the left side there is an elongated frame and inside that are written dates or num- bers. And the count ends on 31 and the number 31 is shin- ing prominently. ’ He did not write any interpretation nor did his mind turn to this. I knew its link with the vision of Friday the 10 th , therefore I clearly understood that May 31 will be the 10 th of the lunar month and that day is Friday. And on that Friday some such incident is going to take place that is related to this vision and also to this dream.
