The Heavenly Sign — Page 73
The Heavenly Sign All the problems of the True Faith have you solved; And you are reviving the Faith by the Grace of the Gracious God. As a favour, you have converted my heart and my soul to Islam; I would be faithless indeed if I do not sacrifice myself at your threshold. The humble one, Maulawi Hafiz 'Azīm Bakhsh of Patiyāla May 24, 1892 P. S. If space could be spared in your booklet, may I request that the following announcement from my respected, kind teacher also be published. ANNOUNCEMENT The edict, that Maulawi Muhammad Hussain Batālwī has published in his magazine Ishāʻatus Sunnah about our Imam and our Master, our Messiah and the Messiah of the world, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadiānas, also bears the name of Maulawi Muhammad Abdullah of Patiyāla among its signatories. Some friends mistakenly believe it to be myself and some have sent letters to me in this regard. The editor of Ishā'atus Sunnah has further confused the people by adding this note against this name: 'This Maulawi Şahib also was previously a disciple of Mirzā Şāhibas. ' I would like to inform one and all that Maulawi 'Abdullah of Patiāla is some other person who never was nor is a disciple of Mirzā Şāḥibas. As far as this humble one is concerned, he is still the humble follower of the one who pines for his people and languishes for the faith of Islam. The Humble Announcer: Muhammad 'Abdullah Khān Teacher of Arabic, Muhindar College, Patiyāla. Dhul qa'dah 4, 1309 Hijra 73
