Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen The Way of the Righteous 108 Fateful Journey to Lahore On April 27, 1908, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as undertook a journey to Lahore. It was becoming clear to Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as that his days were near, but on the advice of a lady doctor who insisted that the medical treatment of his wife required a trip to Lahore, he undertook the trip anyhow. As the stay in Lahore became prolonged, Hadhrat Sahib summoned Hakeem Sahib and other Companions to Lahore. As a matter of fact, the office of the paper Al-Badr also moved to Lahore so that the people of the Jama ‘ at could get up-to-date news. Soon after his arrival in Lahore, Hakeem Sahib began Dars-i-Qur ’ an and Majlis-i-Irfaan in Lahore. On May 17, 1908, Hadhrat Sahib invited prominent people of Lahore to a party. As Hadhrat Sahib was not well, Hakeem Sahib was advised to address the notables of Lahore, who were invited to the party. Suddenly, Hadhrat Sahib came out and spoke for about an hour, which was raptly listened to by the notables of Lahore. Then a proposal was made that Hadhrat Sahib should address a public gathering, so that a large number of people could have access to the noble ideas of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as. The Promised Messiah , who was aware that his last days were coming closer, had a passion for making peace between Hindus and Muslims, and it is because of this passion that he wrote a remarkable book, Paighaam-i-Sulh (The Message of Peace), which was completed on May 25, 1908. After the completion of the book that day, he went for an evening stroll as usual. On account of the mental stress and pre-occupation with the book and the strain it had put on his weak health, his health became weaker. That same evening, he had a severe attack of dysentery, which greatly weakened him. He urged Hakeem sahib and Dr Syed Muhammad Hussain Shah to prescribe some tonic to provide relief.
