Life of The Promised Messiah (as) — Page 43
43 ● To promote informality, the Promised Messiah as would have mangoes and mulberries brought in from his personal orchards and share them with his guests. ● The Promised Messiah as would have food packed for those leaving on a journey. Hazrat Pir Siraj-ul-Haq ra, another devoted Companion of the Promised Messiah as, narrates that an elderly Sikh gentleman lived in a village near Qadian and was about twenty years older than the Promised Messiah as. The man often visited Mirza Ghulam Murtaza , the father of the Promised Messiah as, who would sometimes send for the Promised Messiah as to come and meet the gentleman. The Promised Messiah as would arrive with his eyes downcast, greet his father and sit at some distance from him. His father would address the Promised Messiah as as maseetarh and complain that he did not have a job, nor any earning and would softly say, Alright, I will have him appointed as a clergy of some mosque. He will get ten mounds of grains at least! Once, that same Sikh gentleman came to visit the Promised Messiah as while he was sharing a meal with his Companions in the Gol Kamrah.
