The Noble Son — Page 37
HAZRAT MAULANA JALAL-UD-DIN SHAMS RA 37 born shall be named Mahmood…When the renown of this prophecy attained its peak through the announcement, and there remained no group from among the Muslims, Christians and Hindus who were unaware of it, then by the grace and mercy of God on Saturday 12 January 1889, Jamadi’ul-Awwal 9, 1306 AH, Mahmood was born. And I have announced the news of his birth in the announcement—the title of which is written in a large font: Fulfilment of Propagation—in which is written the ten conditions of Bai’at [Initiation] and on page 4, is written this revelation concerning the Promised Son: شد معلومم رقبِ تو فرخِ رسل اے 38 * آمدہ زراہِ دور آمدہ دیر From this, it becomes evident that the Promised Son and Musleh Mauood are one and the same since the Promised Messiah as , in the announcement titled Takmeel-e-Tabligh , has used the words Musleh Mauood instead of Pisr-e-Mauood. From this reference of Tiryaaqul- Quloob , it is clearly evident that it had been disclosed to the Promised Messiah as that Mahmood is indeed the Musleh Mauood. Then after this, he wrote in Haqeeqatul-Wahi in 1906: ‘Thus, page seven of my Sabz Ishtehaar has this revelation about the birth of that other son: “The second Bashir shall be granted who is also named Mahmood. He has not been born * Translation: ‘O Pride of Messengers, I have realised the degree of your nearness to God. The reason for the delay in your arrival is because you have come from far. ’ [Translator]
