(American Edition) 106 and then take off again. The area where the plane landed seems to be to the North of London as if we have passed over London. The other passengers went for breakfast and I went to the washroom to wash my hands… When I came out of the washroom, I realized that I am three-quarters of an hour late but that I boarded the plane and I asked one person where would the plane land? He said in Scotland. Then I asked him which city in Scotland. He replied in Glasgow. Then I asked him how far is Glasgow from here. He said that in one respect it is 1,500 and in another respect it is 200 miles. At that I said to him that it cannot be 1,500 miles in any way. I have studied the geography of England. The train from London reaches the end of Scotland overnight, how can it be 1500 miles? It would be 200 miles. At that he either did not reply or I did not hear him and I woke up. I perceive that Allāh , the Exalted, will probably facilitate the propagation of A ḥ madiyyat in Scotland and possibly some movement in this regards will rise from a place 200 miles to the south of Glasgow and continue to Glasgow because the plane landed two hundred miles from Glasgow. The respondent also said that in one way it is 1,500 miles. If that is not wrong then it means that this place is situated near the northwest of England. If we travel from the west by ship instead of by land then probably a distance of a thousand to fifteen hundred miles is to be covered. Glasgow and its surrounding area hold importance from another respect as well, which is mentioned in some of my previous visions. Those with perception can understand. The present time does not allow elucidation. ” ( Al-Fa ḍ l, Qadian, 21 September 1945, p. 2) Note: In 1945, there was no branch of the A ḥ madiyya Movement in Scotland and North of England. Now, by the Grace of Allāh, there are 17 branches including two purpose-built mosques in Bradford and Hartlepool. There are also Prayer Centers and Mission Houses in Huddersfield, Scunthorpe, Sheffield, Keighley, Manchester and Glasgow. There are more than 2,000 A ḥmadī Muslims living in this part of UK. These are the signs of the truth of the above-mentioned dream, Al- Ḥamdu Lillāh.
