E ARLY Y EARS – 1881 49 Some revelations indicated that the family into which I would marry would be high and noble. One revelation said that ‘God has provided you with a noble descent and has arranged your marriage in a noble family. ’ All this was communicated to L a lah Sharampat long before the event. He well knows that, without any effort on my part, God arranged this relationship in a high and noble family… of Sayyeds and made provision for all connected matters and expense in such a manner that I did not undergo any trouble in that regard. To this day, He continues to fulfil this promise. [Sha h na-e- H aqq, pp. 43–44, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 2, pp. 383-384] About 1881 The details of this prophecy were supplied in other revelations, so much so that even the name of the town Delhi was mentioned and this was communicated to several people…and all came about as had been foretold. Without any previous relationship or connection, my marriage was arranged in a well known noble Sayyed family of Delhi…. God had promised that through my progeny He will lay a great foundation for the support of Islam and among them He will cause to appear one who will be blessed with the heavenly spirit. Therefore, He determined that I should marry into such a family and should be granted progeny from this marriage, which would spread the light of That is [Persian] I shall provide whatever you need for the marriage, and I shall grant you whatever you need from time to time. And this is how it happened. [ Haqiqatul-Wahi , pp. 235–236 R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 22, p. 247]
