1902 577 April 30, 1902 Last night I received the revelation: This means that [Arabic] the principal opponents would have been destroyed quickly, were it not the Divine purpose that they should be destroyed in the end. These people have the qualities of resolve and courage and they are in a position to exercise authority and influence over people. It can, therefore, be expected that they might learn a lesson from what happens to the common people and repent and use their talents in the service of the faith. [al- H akam, vol. 6, no. 16, April 30, 1902, p. 8] 1902 I had seen in a dream sometime ago that M i r N as ir Navv a b was constructing a wall, which was the city wall. When I looked at it, I was apprehensive for it was only as high as a man and could be easily scaled, but when I looked on the outer side, I perceived that the level of Qadian had been greatly raised and thus, from the outside the wall was very high. It appeared to be constructed with cement plaster and so was the floor. Upon close observation, I discovered that it circled our houses and there are plans that it would circle the whole town. The interpretation might be that Allah, of His mercy, might reduce the danger of the afflictions with which we are surrounded. [al- H akam, vol. 6, no. 36, October 10, 1902, p. 16] said: I believe as firmly in the divine revelation that comes to me as I believe in the Books of God.
