as MASJID MUB A RAK 117 In 1882 Ahmad as badly felt the need of money for an emergency which was known to his A rya neighbours. He prayed to God that He might grant him the required amount so that the A ryas might also become witnesses of the Divine acceptance of his prayer in this connection. The same day he received a revelation to the effect that God was very near. The last sentence was added in English. It ran as follows: 'Then will you go to Amritsar. ' For ten days Ahmad as received no remittance from anywhere, but on the eleventh day Muhammad Af d al Khan, settlement superintendent, Rawalpindi, sent him a money order for Rs. 110/- and more followed afterwards. The day he received the first remittance he had to go to Amritsar to appear as a witness in a court case. Thus was fulfilled the word of God.
