A Sign of Allah - Chaudhry Muhammad Zafrulla Khan — Page 39
A Sign of Allah 39 writing letters back and forth. I have saved many of his let - ters very carefully, and they include such letters in which he opened up his inner feelings. Because it was against his nature that people come to know his internal emotions, there are only some few friends with whom he would open up in such a way in his letters. In them, his humility was so incredible that it would make the reader embarrassed. It was because of his humility and sincerity which knew no bounds that Allah the Almighty had created a special bond between us. It is no surprise then that after the start of my Khilafat , the first kashf [vision] shown to me by God Almighty was one in which Chaudhry Zafrulla Khan was shown. It was an amazing kashf that left me astounded because a person’s mind generally cannot stretch that far [and make up such things]. It was one or two days into my Khilafat that someone asked, have you received any revelations or kashf etcetera since becoming the Khalifah ? I replied, so far I have not received any and I am simply going along and however God Almighty is dealing with me is fine. A few days after this, following the Fajr prayer, I experienced a vision in which I saw very clearly that Chaudhry Zafrulla Khan is lying down and is convers - ing with Allah the Almighty and though I am listening to the conversation, I am distant. I am aware that he is lying in London, but it is similar to the way proximity is sometimes depicted in movies in which someone is having a telephone conversation somewhere far off but one is still able to hear the whole conversation—such special effects are possible
