1''11 12 BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE AHMAOIYYA MOVEMENT IS ALLAH NOT SUFFICIENT FOR HIS SERVANT (Farzana Quader) Is Allah not sufficient for His servant Have you ever wondered about the story behind the engraved rings many Ahmadi Muslims wear? The story is based on a very special experience of the Promised Messiah. Once, in the year 1876, the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (peace be on him) was in Lahore (then in India) on a visit. While he was there he saw a very important dream. Allah in His Divine Mercy informed the Promised Messiah through this dream of the fast approaching death of his father, Mirza Ghulam Murtaza. Concerned about him, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad quickly left for Qadian. There, he found his father suffering from dysentery (a severe kind of stomach disorder). However, in spite of his illness, his general condition was stable and he remained steadfast. By the next day, all the members of Mirza Ghulam Murtaza's family were with him. The Promised Messiah was constantly there. It was the month of June and the heat was intense. About noon, his father asked him to have some rest. As he rested in his room upstairs, with a servant massaging his feet, he fell into a light sleep. Before I take you any further, do you know what the word revelation means?
