My Mother — Page 161
Farewell 161 presaged the death of their mother, for it is divine law that when one parenthood is removed another takes its place. The deceased’s father was an Ahmadi and her brother Chaudhri Abdullah Khan of Data Zaidka is a sincere and zealous Ahmadi. He is Emir of the Regional Community. Since the time of Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih I, he has been my sincere friend and has on all occasions been foremost in demonstrating his zeal. I pray that Allah, the Exalted, may be pleased to bestow His nearness upon the departed one, and deprive not the members of her family of the blessings of her prayers, and may her supplications on their behalf continue to be granted after her death. ’ The following inscription was composed by Hazrat Khalifatul- Masih for her tombstone: The wife of Chaudhri Nasrullah Khan (may Allah have mercy on him) mother of Chaudhri Zafrulla Khan (may Allah keep him) was recipient of true dreams and visions. Through her dreams was she favoured with the identifi- cation of the Promised Messiah and made her covenant ahead of her husband; and through her dreams she was guided aright on the question of Khilafat and took her pledge before her husband took it. She entertained extreme jealousy for the Faith, and was fearless in expound- ing the truth. She was invested with the quality of caring for the indigent and led a simple and austere life. She was a virtuous wife and a loving mother. May Allah bestow
