EMINENT DIVINE Hadrat Maulw i Nur-ud-D i n ra — Khalifatul Masih I 116 several months. He was at first lodged in town and then moved to Nawab Sahib’s house in Shairw a n i Kut. Nawab Sahib ra attended upon him daily for his lesson and took his midday meal with him. Some of his students from Qadian followed him to Shairw a n i Kut. Nawab Sahib ra made all arrangements for lodging and feeding them. His study of the Holy Quran was completed in six months. 42 There was at that time practising in M a l i r Kutla a doctor, Bhagat R a m Sahn i , who belonged to Bhera and had served in Kashmir. He held Maulaw i N u r-ud- D i n ra in high esteem and visited him from time to time. One day he mentioned that he earned a thousand rupees a month without having to move out of M a l i r Kutla. Maulaw i Sahib observed that he too had an equal amount of income without having to go anywhere. Later, in the course of a letter addressed to Nawab Muhammad ‘Al i Kh a n, he wrote: "Note carefully the verse of the Holy Quran: Allah will prepare a way out of his difficulties for him who is mindful of his duty to Allah, and will provide for him whence he expects not (65:3-4). This sinful one is not so mindful, though devoted to those who are so mindful, and yet Allah provides for him whence he expects not. During my stay in M a l i r Kutla I had to meet several demands, in conection with which I had to incur an expenditure of approximately two thousand five hundred rupees. You canot guess where most of it came from. God alone knows whence it came. Even my wife does not know. " 43
