[Persian] Help and victory and success during twenty years. * [Arabic] Surely, I feel the scent of Joseph, even though you take me to be a dotard. [Publishers] Note by Syed Abdul Hayee: *This revelation was received on January 3, 1904 and January 27, 1904. Adding twenty years to it makes 1924. So this revelation points to 1924, when Fa d l Mosque, London, was established. The series of magnificent international victories which has now started is closely related to this mosque. This year is the fulfilment of the [Sun will rise from the West] and the initiation of international success and victories. It is also a fulfilment of the dream of the Promised Messiah as about which he says: We certainly believe in the prophesied rising of sun from the West, but what has been conveyed to me in a dream is that the rising of the sun from West means that the Western countries which have been steeped in darkness and infidelity for a long time will be illumined with the sun of truthfulness and they will partake of Islam. I saw [in a vision] that I was standing on a pulpit in the city of London and was setting forth the truth of Islam in the English language, in a very well reasoned address. Thereafter, I caught several birds who were sitting upon small trees and were of white colour and their bodies resembled the bodies of partridges. I interpreted this vision as meaning that though I would not be able to travel to that country, my writings will be published among them and many righteous English people will be attracted by the truth.
