49 A Here, another incident of another Muj ā hid-i-Isl ā m, © adhrat Maul ā n ā Ra ™ mat ‘Al ī , missionary of Indonesia has come to my mind, and let me relate it to you. He used to live in Mohallah Y ā sir Misk ī n of Padang, an important town of Indonesia. Most of the houses were adjoining and made of wood. One day, suddenly there was fire in that Muhallah, which started burning the houses and reached near his own residence so much so that the flames were licking his balcony. Seeing this, A ™ mad ī brothers requested him to vacate the house immediately, but he very firmly and confidently said, “This fire, Insh ā ’All ā h will not harm us. This is the house of a servant of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) with whom Almighty All ā h has promised, Fire is our slave, rather slave of our slaves. ” It is related that © adhrat Maulavi Ra ™ mat ‘Al ī had hardly uttered these words when, dark clouds came and heavy rain started pouring, which doused the fire in no time. The mercy and grace of the Almighty God really made the fire the slave of the servant of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him). [27]
