262 would be hard for me. Anyway I decided that, come what may, I would definitely participate in those programmes. Mahmood Iqbal Sahib, Principal of Nusrat High School had come to my house. I requested him to take me to the market in the car so that I could buy a some items for myself and for Hameedullah Zafar sahib. Iqbal Sahib started driving the car and we set out for the market. It was evening. I noticed that our Sadr Lajna, Jojo Cham was going somewhere on foot. I told Iqbal Sahib to stop and ask her as to where was she going. She said that she was going home and because she could not get any transport she was going on foot. We picked her up to carry her to her home. During the conversation, I told her that I had severe pain in my foot and requested her for prayers and that I was heading to Guinea-Bissau the following day. She told me that she had a medicine that might benefit me. When we reached her home, she gave me some tablets which I took as per directions. A short while after that the pain had miraculously disappeared. I thanked Allah for the way He provides means. Next day we started the journey comfortably. The tour lasted many days and went peacefully. After attending jalsas and meetings at many places returned home safely. Alhamdolillah. Travel and Hosts aplenty Allah arranged for boarding and lodging in unfavourable circumstances. Probably in 1993, Khalil Ahmad Mubashir Sahib was the Ameer of Sierra Leone jama’at and the neighbouring country, Guinea Conakary was also under supervision of Sierra Leone for jama’at purposes. Hadrat Khalifatul-Masih IV directed him to tour Guinea Conakary for tabligh and tarbiyyat purposes.
