C H AP T E R T WO — FU L F IL M E N T OF PR OPHE C IE S 131 This is a prophecy that has been set forth in the form of a supplica- tion and is followed by an assurance of its acceptance. In summary, it means that the difficulties of being alone, poor, and helpless were destined to be resolved at some future time. This prophecy was ful- filled twenty-five years later when no trace of all those difficulties is now left. The second prophecy is in English, a language with which I am not acquainted. And the fact that I received a revelation in this language is in itself a miracle. It is: I love you. I will give you a large party of Islam. The first party would be from among those who were already Muslims, and the second would be of those who came from outside Islam, such as Hindus, European Christians, and American Christians, or from other peoples.

There are many others residing in their respective homelands. Similarly, for some time my Jam a ‘at has been gaining accept- ance among the traditional Christians of Europe and America. Only recently a respectable English gentleman of 200–202, Worth Street, New York, in the United States of America, whose earlier name was F. L. Anderson, but who has been named H asan after he became a Muslim, wrote to me by his own hand to ask that his name be entered into my Jam a ‘at. He reads my books that have been translated into English. He can read the Holy Quran in Arabic and can also write in Arabic. There are many more Westerners who are full of praise for this Jam a ‘at, and
