1899 445 September 18, 1899 Last night, Monday September 18, 1899, I saw in my dream that a light rain was falling steadily. I said, probably in my dream, that: ‘I was about to supplicate for rain and it is raining. ’ I do not know whether this means that soon there will be rain or whether there will be the rain of mercy and help and victory on our Jam a ‘at in fulfilment of the revelation of September 13, 1899: 497 [Urdu] A title of honour, a title of honour. [Arabic] [ For you there is a title of honour. ] [Urdu] A great Sign will appear with it; or both might happen. My dream is true and will be fulfilled and one of these two contingencies will happen. That is to say, either there will be merciful rain from the sky for the creatures of God Almighty, or some extraordinary Sign of spiritual help and victory will appear. But it will be a Sign and nothing common. [al- H akam, vol. 3, no. 36, October 10, 1899, p. 7] September 19, 1899 On September 19, 1899, God Almighty addressed me and revealed His words to me: 496 See also al- H akam , volume 3, number 33, September 16, 1899, page 6. [Mirza Bashir Ahmad] 497 In al- H akam the date is stated as September 13, but the Promised Messiah as has himself stated the date of this revelation as September 14 in his book Appendix Tiry a qul-Qul u b , as has been recorded above.
