12 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Blessed is the One Who Understands The Promised Messiah as states: “Reconcile with God. Adopt true self-restraint. The heaven inspires awe by sending down calamities and the earth warns us with the emergence of epidemics. Blessed is one who understands. ” 1 26 January 1899 The Editor of Al-Hakam states that His Holiness as was on his way to Dhariwal in order to pursue a case of security for keeping the peace 2 brought against him due to Maulvi Muhammad Husain Sahib of Batala. Arrangements for the stay of the party were made at Leel, a small village near Dhariwal. However, on his way to Leel, the Promised Messiah as stopped at Khunda. When the Promised Messiah as reached Khunda he decided to stay there and called Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih I ra , who had already reached Leel, to turn back and join him in Khunda as well. When Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih I ra arrived in Khunda, the Promised Messiah as said: “There is wisdom in everything that Allah the Exalted does. There was news that Muhammad Husain was planning to stay there as well. Therefore, it is good that we did not stay there. It is best to stay away from such people. ” Editor’s Note: His Holiness as set out for the journey from Qadian by carriage but Hazrat Maulana Nur-ud-Din Sahib ra departed first from Qadian with a few friends to catch a train and then make the same journey onwards from Batala. It was decided that both parties would depart from Qadian and finally meet at Leel, where arrangements for the stay had been made.

The Promised Messiah as accepted her request and so he decided to lodge in Khunda instead. The party who was travelling onwards by train could not be informed of this change in plan, and so they arrived at Leel. However, the Promised Messiah as called them over and so they came to Khunda as well.
