322 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION found its fulfilment in the following manner:¹* When I approached Jhelum an estimated more than 10,000 persons were gathered to meet me. The entire road was crowded with people who were full of such humility as bordered on prostrating. The crowd at the District Court and its environs was so large that the officials were simply stunned. As many as 1,100 men and about 200 women pledged bai'at with me and were initiated into this Jama'at. The suit which Karam Dīn had filed against me was dismissed. And many, out of devotion and humility, gave gifts and presents. Thus, I returned to Qadian enriched with bless- ings from every direction and thus did God Almighty fulfil the proph- ecy with great clarity. 102. ONE HUNDRED-SECOND SIGN―There is the following proph- ecy recorded in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى زَادَ مَجْدَكَ ، يَنْقَطِعُ أَبَاؤُكَ وَيُبْدَءُ مِنْكَ. (Translation) 'God is free from every imperfection. He is the Lord of all blessings. He will enhance your prestige; the name and remembrance of your forefathers will be cut off 2* and God shall lay the foundation 1. On the way onward from Lahore at Gujranwala, Wazirabad, Gujrat etc. , so many people came to the stations to meet me that it became difficult to maintain order at the stations. Platform tickets were sold out and people thronged the platforms even without tickets. Due to the large crowds [on the platform], the train was halted for longer periods and it was with extremely polite persuasion that the railway personnel were able to peel people away from the train. At some stations people kept hanging on to the moving train for some distance. It was feared that someone might get killed. Hostile newspapers like Panja-e-Foulad also reported these events.

Accordingly, some of the sources of my father's income were confiscated by the Government and some passed on to the collaterals and I was left empty-handed. God then gave me everything from Himself.
