478 Heavenly Feast Hadrat Hafiz Roshan Ali ra related that once Hadrat Maulana Nooruddin, Khalifatul Masih I ra stated, “Hafiz Roshan Ali ate heavenly food during his lecture. He ate Kebab and Parathay (bread prepared with butter or Ghee ) while he was fully awake. ” Hadrat Mufti Muhammad Sadiq Sahib ra relates that upon hearing this, he asked Hadrat Hafiz Roshan Ali Sahib ra to further elaborate on the incident. He stated that once he had not eaten and while he was waiting for the lecture, the time for dinner had passed. Then, the lecture started and without caring about hunger, he joined the class in listening to the lecture. He was clearly hearing the voice of the lecturer and was fully aware of his surroundings. Suddenly, the tone of the voice became dull, and despite being awake, he could neither hear nor see. At the same time, someone put freshly prepared food in front of him. It was Parathay and roasted mutton. He started to eat and thoroughly enjoyed the food. When he was satiated, his condition was reversed, and he again could hear the voice of the teacher. At the same time, he felt that his stomach was full, and there was the same freshness and contentment as one feels after eating food. This was despite the fact that he neither left the place, nor was seen eating by anyone.
