Thereafter, Hadrat Amman Jan ra was with him as his life l ong friend and companion. She would affectionately remind the Promised Messiah as that , “ W ith my living in your house, the period of your blessings be gan , ” at which the Promised Messiah as would respond smiling ly , “ Y es, you are right. ” Indeed, the Promised Messiah ’ s as love for his wife was no ordinary attachment because it was based on the recognition that she was a Divine blessing from Allah Almighty. It was because of this fact apart from her many virtues that meant the Promised Messiah as highly respected his wife. It is why he usually addressed her in polite Urdu, whilst addressing their children in the more informal Punjabi.
