Undated 281 Undated Making Fire Cold for Ibr a h i m as [Abraham] A letter of a friend was presented to the Promised Messiah as , asking whether the fire that was cooled for Ibr a h i m as [Abraham] was the fire that burns wood or the fire of mischief and disorder? The Promised Messiah as replied: Every Prophet faces the fire of mischief and disorder which always take on a form that Allah the Exalted counters by dis- playing a miraculous power in support of His Prophet. It is not a difficult matter for God Almighty to extinguish the physi- cal fire for Ibr a h i m as and such incidents often take place. There is no need to research thoroughly such incidents related to Ibr a h i m as as they occurred thousands of years ago. I myself am seeing and experiencing such incidents. A Few Incidents of Miraculous Protection 1. I recall a time when I was in Sialkot and it was raining one day. Lightning struck inside the room I was sitting in. The entire room became filled with a kind of smoke and there was a smell like that of sulphur. But I was not harmed at all. At the same time lightning struck a temple that was the temple of Teja Singh. There was a wall constructed within it going all around inside in circles for circumambulation according to the Hindu custom, and he was sitting inside. The lightning travelled through all these corridors and struck him and he was charred black like coal. Lo and behold! It was the fire from the same lightning that burned him but could not harm me since God Almighty protected me.
