123 When Huzur was informed of the delegation’s arrival , he came over and shook hands with all the delegates. When Huzur shook hand with Ahmad Mukhtar, h e uttered impulsively, ‘he is the personage I saw in the dream’. When international bai’at was taking place, Ahmad Mukhtar was seated close to Huzur. After prayer Huzur asked me who that person was. Huzur did not enquire about anyone else. Ahmadiyyat planted at Bismillah Tabligh campaign was launched in Faric area of Senegal. There was no Ahmadi there before. Eight muallims were sent there for tabligh. They were instructed to start from a place called Bismillah and spread out to east, west, north and south in groups of two muallims each. Being unwell, I could not accompany them. However, I told them that four days later we would meet at Bismillah, review the situation and chalk out further plan. Senegal jama’at did not have a car those days; so I reached there by bus. I was received by the muallims alongwith another person. That new person welcomed me very nicely and took me to his house. He entertained me very well and treated me very respectfully. During the conversation, he told me that his name was Ibrahim and that he had planned a trip to Dakar a few days earlier but saw in a dream that some special guests were coming to his house; he told the dream to his wife in the morning and postponed his trip. After a short while, the muallims also joined us, they delivered the message (of Ahmadiyyat). Ibrahim converted to Ahmadiyyat and through him new avenue opened for spread of Ahmadiyyat in that area.
