A BRIGHT SIGN-SIGN NUMBER 197 661 SR. DATE No. 1907 SENDER'S NAME I 31 March Sayyed Aḥmad Ali Shah, Sufaid-Posh 2 Sayyed 'Abdus- Sattar Shah, Hospital Assistant Village, TEHSIL, DISTRICT Malo Mahi, Pasrur, Sialkot Raiyah, Sialkot GIST OF THE LETTER Today at 4 pm, on 31 March 1907, I witnessed a heavenly Sign the like of which I had never seen in my entire life. What looked like a small fragment of fire [moved] from south to north. About 2 feet square in size and a quarter of a mile above ground it had a three coloured, red, green, and rose tail which looked like smoke; and that tail would become like a cloud and lessen, and sound like heavy rain. This fragment of fire was seen by all, men and women, Hindus and Christians, and others. It travelled a couple of miles to the north near the town and emitted a sound like the noise of a couple of cannons or of shells, and then disappeared as we watched. Thus was fulfilled Huḍūr's prophecy relating to the 25 days which was made on 7 March because this very strange manifestation was seen on 31 March. On Sunday at 4:30 pm a heavenly Sign was witnessed; i. e. a fragment of fire of large size came from the south and went to the north. It went through the trees adjacent to our house. It was about a yard and a quar- ter long, burning bright like a blazing fire, it appeared to be very awe-inspiring. Upon seeing it the women became terrorized. It cast a bright light on the trees and to us it looked like fire. Suddenly it turned white quite like a cloud and then ascended slowly upwards to a great height. On Monday the news broke from far-off places that it had been witnessed by a large number of people casting fear and awe so much so that many people in a village fainted upon seeing it and recovered only after they were made to drink some water. In each village where it was seen everyone felt as if it had fallen very close to them. Thus was the revelation regarding 'twenty-five days' fulfilled in which it was written that from 7 March, within twenty-five days or on the twenty-fifth day something amazing would happen.
