THIRTY-FIFTH PROPHECY THIRTY-FIFTH PROPHECY 143 This is regarding Sheikh Muhammad Husain Batalavi of Ishāʻat- us-Sunnah magazine, who is the primary instigator of the efforts to label me a disbeliever and upon whose neck, after Nazīr Husain of Delhi, rests the burden of the sins of all involved in such declarations of disbelief against me. He appears to be in an extremely bad condition and in a state of despair. I have been apprised three times concerning him that he will turn back from his present condition of extreme misguidance and that Allah will open his eyes : . وَاللهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ]And Allah has the power to do all that He wills. ] And once I saw in a dream that I went to the house of Muhammad Husain [Batalavi] with a party of people. We held our Prayer service there, and I led it. A thought passed through my mind that during the Zuhr or Aşr Prayer, I had begun to recite Sūrah al-Fatihah aloud; however, I then realized that I had not recited Sūrah al-Fatihah aloud but had only called out the takbir¹ aloud. When we had finished the Prayer, I found that Muhammad Husain [of Batala] was sitting in front of me totally naked, and it appeared to me that his complexion is black in colour. I felt embarrassed and would not look at him, but he came over to me in that same condition, and I said to him: Has the time to recon- cile not come, and do you wish that reconciliation should be done with you?' He replied in the affirmative and came very close and embraced me. 1. Reciting Allahu Akbar—'Allah is the Greatest. [Publisher]
