This address of the Promised Messiah as has been published in Badr, dated 25 June 1908 under the title al-Balaghul-Mubin. In the beginning, the following note is given: I will remember till my last breath the ecstatic scene of 17 May 1908 when the Messiah anointed by the hands of God was giving a speech before the honourable dignitaries of Lahore at eleven o’clock. What an amazing address this was: an ocean of knowledge with all its power and majesty. It was a cloud filled with Divine cognizance that poured down mercy upon them. It was a final message that was delivered in the capital city by the Honourable Vicegerent of the All-Encompassing, All-Powerful, King of Kings—the Lord of Glory. At twelve o’clock, the Promised Messiah as said: ‘It is getting past the time for lunch. If you wish, I can stop here. ’ However, everyone pleaded, ‘This food we eat every day. We need spiritual nutrition. ’ Thus, the speech lasted till one o’clock. May Allah the Exalted bless Khawaja Kamal-ud-Din, Pleader of the Chief Court, for his efforts. He invited his friends for a feast and created an occasion for them to listen to the words of the Promised Messiah as ( Badr, vol. 7, no. 25, p. 3, 25 June 1908).
