chapter eleven Devotion and Sympathy A s time passed ’s jealousy for the Faith and her love for—and devotion to—members of the Promised Messiah’s family went on multiplying. She often said that all her supplications were preceded by prayers for every member of the family of the Promised Messiah. She was particu- larly devoted to Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih II, and her love for him knew no bounds. The moment she learnt of any direction of his she immediately started acting upon it. He too treated her with great affection. On occasion, out of her great affection for him, she talked to him as intimately as a mother talks to her child, and he kept listening to her to reassure her. In one of her dreams she saw the Promised Messiah talking to my father. Then he pointed to her from a distance and said to my father, ‘Call her. ’ He said to someone, ‘Zafrulla Khan’s mother is standing over there. Please go and tell her that Hazrat Sahib desires her to come over. ’
