Hazrat Khalifatul Masih continued with the subject of signs of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) in light of his own writings. Huzoor also related some incidents illustrating the Promised Messiah’s (on whom be peace) truthfulness. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote: ‘God has shown so many signs in my support that if I were to count them one by one up to this day, 16th July, 1906, I can swear by God that they are in excess of three hundred thousand. And if someone does not believe in my oath, I can provide him with proof. Some of these signs are to do with occasions when God Almighty, in keeping with His promise, protected me from being harmed by the enemy. Some of the signs are such that, in keeping with His promise, God always fulfilled my needs and my wishes. And some are of the kind whereby, in keeping with His promise ‘I shall humiliate him who designs to humiliate thee.’ God brought humiliation and disgrace upon those who tried to harm me. Some signs are of the kind in which, according to His Prophecies, He made me victorious over those who filed lawsuits against me. Some are of the kind that pertain to the length of my ministry, for ever since the world was created no impostor has ever been allowed such a long period of respite. Some signs are of the kind that are manifested through observing the condition of the age—that this age is in need of an Imam. Some signs are of the kind which represent the fulfilment of my prayers in favour of my friends. Some signs are of the kind which represent the fulfilment of my prayer against malicious enemies. Some signs are of the kind in which terminally ill patients were cured and I was informed of their recovery in advance. Some signs are of the nature whereby, for my sake, God caused a number of heavenly and earthly calamities as a testimony to my claim. Some are of the sort whereby many eminent and renowned saints saw dreams in which the Holy Prophetsa appeared to them and testified to my claim, among these is the Sajjadah Nashin Sahib-ul-‘Alam of Sindh who has nearly one hundred thousand followers, and Khawaja Ghulam Farid of Chachrań. Some signs are such that thousands of people pledged Bai‘at at my hand only because they were informed in a dream of my truthfulness and of my being from God; while some others did so because they saw the Holy Prophetsa in a dream, and he told them that the end of the world is near and that this man is the last Vicegerent of God and the Promised Messiah. Some signs relate to certain eminent saints who mentioned me by name even before my birth, or before I came of age, and spoke about my being the Promised Messiah. Among these are Ne‘matullah Wali and Mian Gulab Shah of Jamalpur, District Ludhiana. (Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 22, pp.70-71 – Essence of Islam, Vo. V, pp. 2 -4) Huzoor remarked that even today we witness manifestations of ‘I shall humiliate him who designs to humiliate thee.’ And for those who have thus far escaped, there is the Divine warning of: ‘And I give them the rein; surely, My plan is mighty.’ (7:184) A companion of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) Siraj ul Haq Nomani Sahib read out a letter to him from his brother who was a non-Ahmadi Sajjadah Nashin and who had boasted about his ability to practice séance and had made imprudent assertions. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) replied: ‘Séance is something absurd. A person who speaks to Living God and receives His fresh revelations of which there are hundreds of thousands of proofs, why would he speak to the dead and look for the dead and where is the proof that there was communication with such and such dead person! Here, we have hundreds and thousands of proofs. Every single [post] card, every single person and every single rupee that comes is a tremendous sign of God because a long time ago God Almighty had said: ‘His help wil
