46 A Rain is said to be a divine blessing. There is no doubt about it that it is one of God’s wonderful bounties. It is strange that even this blessed rain brings divine mercy and becomes a heavenly sign and a source of guidance for the righteous. This happened in Kiry ā m, a village in District J ā landhar (India). There were © adhrat © ā j ī Ghul ā m A ™ mad and © adhrat Sher Mu ™ ammad (may All ā h be pleased with them both) with some friends. It was terribly hot at that time. They were busy preaching to a non-A ™ mad ī friend, Chhajjoo Kh ā n. While the discussion was going on, he said, If it rains today, I will accept A ™ mad iyyat. Hearing this, © adhrat © ā j ī Ghul ā m A ™ mad raised his hands in prayer along with other A ™ mad ī brothers in the company and prayed for the rain. Praise be to the Lord that instantly clouds gathered and after a while heavy rain started pouring down. Seeing this divine sign, Chhajjoo Kh ā n signed the Bai‘at pledge and joined the A ™ madiyya Movement. [24]
