184. Essence of Islam-V. A few years ago, Seth 'Abdur Raḥmān, a businessman of Madras, and a very sincere member of my. Jama'at, came to Qadian. His business matters were in a state of disarray. He requested for prayer and I consequently received the following revelation: بنا بنایا تو ڑ دے کوئی اس کا بھید نہ پاوے 58 قادر ہے وہ بارگہ ٹوٹا کام بناوے. The meaning of these revealed words was that God. Almighty would set right a ruined undertaking but, after a while, He would again break it up. This revelation was communicated to Seth Sahib while he was still in Qadian. Within a few days, God caused a sharp upturn in his business affairs and certain factors came into play from the unseen that brought him financial benefit. But it all collapsed after some time. [Haqiqat-ul-Waḥī, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 22, pp. 259-260]. Approximately twenty-five years have passed since I saw in a dream a long ditch running for miles on end. . Thousands of sheep were laid alongside the ditch and their heads were laid over its edge so that the blood would flow into it when they were slaughtered. The rest of their bodies were outside the ditch. The ditch ran from east to west and the sheep had been laid on the south side. Each sheep was attended by a butcher, and every butcher had a knife in his hand which was placed on the neck of the sheep. The butchers were looking towards the sky, as if waiting for the Divine command. I found myself walking in the plain to the north and felt 58 Almighty is He, Who sets right what is in ruins;. And destroys what already exists; none can comprehend His secrets. [Publisher]
