HAZRAT MAULANA JALAL-UD-DIN SHAMS RA 17 The Importance of this Sign This was such a sign which Allah the Almighty had bestowed to the Promised Messiah as. The importance of the sign has been mentioned in the following revelations contained in the announcement of 20 February 1886: ‘O you who deny and oppose the truth! If you are in doubt concerning My servant, if you deny the grace and bounty that I have bestowed upon My servant, then produce some true Sign concerning yourselves similar to this sign of mercy, if you are truthful. And if you are unable to produce it, and be sure you will never be able to produce it, then be mindful of the Fire which has been prepared for the disobedient, the liars and the transgressors. ’ 12 Regarding this sign the Promised Messiah as wrote in the announcement of 22 March 1886: ‘This is not just a prophecy. Indeed, it is a grand heavenly Sign, which Almighty God has shown for demonstrating the truth and majesty of the noble, compassionate and merciful Prophet, Muhammad, the Chosen One, peace and blessings of Allah be on him. This Sign is hundreds of times greater and better, and more perfect, and more exalted, and more complete than bringing a dead person back to life. ’ 13
