520 1900 The Promised Messiah [as] said: I saw in a vision that Ma h m u d’s mother came holding a pair of shoes in her hands and said to me, ‘Please wear this new pair of shoes’. Then she handed it over to me and repeated, ‘This pair of shoes is for you, so please put it on. The enemy has been overcome’. [From the Letter of Maulav i ‘Abdul-Kar i m ra , published in al- H akam, vol. 4, no. 37, October 17, 1900, p. 2] October 27, 1900 (A) It happens often that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be on him, tells me something and I hear it, but I do not see his face. This is a condition midway between vision and revelation. Last night he sa said concerning the Promised Messiah: 543 [Arabic] On the one hand, he will put off fighting and on the other, he will bring about peace between people. Meaning that there will be two Signs for the Promised Messiah: First: external, that there will be no fighting, and Second: internal, that mutual peace will be made. Thereafter, he sa said: 544 Silm a n means a double peace. 543 The word has been inadvertently omitted by the scribe. al- H akam , volume 9, number 42, dated November 30, 1905, page 2 shows that the revelation is:. [Jalal-ud-Din Shams] 544 [Arabic] Salm a n is one of us, a member of the household. [Publishers]
