Hakeem Sahib and Public Engagements 109 On May 25, 1908, after Asr prayer, Hadhrat Sahib went for an evening stroll. He was aware that by living outside Qadian, he had undertaken a tremendous mental and physical strain. It claimed a great deal of his energy and strength. Before he was leaving Qadian for Lahore, he had a Divine inkling that his end was near and he believed that God, in His great mercy, might summon him to Himself. The same evening, he had another attack of weakness and when he felt that he could not further bear this weakness, he summoned Hakeem Sahib and Dr Syed Muhammad Hussain Shah at whose house he was staying. Both made their prescriptions and went back, as both believed that once Hadhrat Sahib had a little sleep, he would feel a little better and more comfortable. At about 2 or 3 a. m. Hadhrat Sahib had another attack. Hakeem Sahib, Khawaja Kamal-ud-Din and Dr. Yaqoob Khan were called in and he told his condition and asked for further medical treatment and added, that as a matter of fact, the real remedy was in heaven and that they should also pray. Hakeem Sahib, who had a deeper insight and perceived the coming events, was deeply concerned, but he displayed a great deal of presence of mind. He collected himself to withstand the pressure of the impending events. He remained with him and continued his prayers and medical treatment. It was at 10:30 am on May 26, 1908, that Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as was summoned by his Creator to his heavenly abode (We belong to Allah and to Him shall we return). Maulavi Abdur Rahim Nayyar ra , a close Companion of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as , stated that the members of the Jama ‘ at were in a state of shock. Only Maulavi Noor-ud-Deen was calm and composed and a picture of patience and courage.
