Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 216 The Meaning of Tawaff i The Promised Messiah as said: Master Muhammad D i n’s letter arrived today from Aligarh. He has raised a fine point that the death of Dowie has also been reported in the newspapers of Egypt. One Arabic newspaper has written that Dowie َ مَات َ مَات [ m a ta —‘died’] and the other writes that Dowie ی تَوَفَّ ی تَوَفَّ [ tawaff i —‘died’]. Between them they have given the verdict that tawaff i means m a ta , but our maulaw i s reading the Arabic newspapers, may end up understanding it to mean that Dowie has not died but has ascended to the heavens! 1 31 March 1907 (During the walk) Fulfilment of a Revelation The Promised Messiah as came out for a walk with his followers around 9 o’clock in the morning. The death of the daughter of H ak i m Muhammad Husain Qureshi was mentioned. The Promised Messiah as said: His letters and wires had arrived, and I had prayed for them. 1.
