In the time of a Messenger of Allah, innumerable
signs appear in favour of the Divine Manifestation. Even people who are not
prophets might be blessed with divine revelations in favour of the truthfulness
of the Messenger. The Holy Qur’an provides an instance: “And remember My favour when I inspired the
disciples saying, ‘Believe in
Me and My Messenger’, they said, ‘We believe and bear Thou witness that we have
submitted’” (5:112). Likewise, the Promised Massih Hadhrat Ahmad (as) was vouchsafed
the following revelation: “People,
whom We shall direct through revelation, will assist you” (Brahin-e-Ahmadiyya).
The revelation is for the Prophet of Allah and
Allah has instructed the person to tell this message to the Prophet of Allah.
When receiving this message, the disciple of the Khalifatullah felt her chest
squeezed (and heart beating fast) and she felt anguish physically restricting
her from speech. The feeling persist till after Witr prayers, and it was after
that her tears were shed silently that she was able to speak. The revelation
(originally in Creole) is as thus:
Translation: “O Prophet of Allah (x3)!
When you need information, search it with people possessing Taqwa, who have the
fear of Allah in their heart, who are pious, who tread on the right path. Be
careful!”
Thereafter, Allah makes her understand that there
is a verse in Surah
Al-Hujarat which therein is the same message. “Be
careful! Be very careful! Do not take information here and there. Search it
with people possessing Taqwa, who have the fear of Allah in their heart, who
are righteous. Look for your information, O Prophet of Allah (x3)…”
The disciple felt herself weak, unable to bear
the pain which comes with this revelation and therefore she read a prayer which
was revealed to the Prophet of Allah and which she learnt by heart:
“O Allah, let Your Love be the blood of my heart; Let Your Light be my sight and let Your Grace be the skill of my speech… - O Allah! I can’t speak! Let Your Grace be the skill of my speech, and let Your mercy be my pen to write! ”
“O Allah, let Your Love be the blood of my heart; Let Your Light be my sight and let Your Grace be the skill of my speech… - O Allah! I can’t speak! Let Your Grace be the skill of my speech, and let Your mercy be my pen to write! ”
He said: “Each of you cannot say that you have not got any revelations. Allah
has given you revelations so that you may attest to the veracity of His
Messenger, so that you stay firm and know (to some extent) how the Prophet of
Allah is receiving revelations and how painful it is to receive revelations
from Allah, and yet I pray that Allah cease not to bestow upon me His
revelations for this indeed is a great blessing whereby Allah converses with
His Messenger.
I have
prayed that each one of you, and our brothers and sisters and children of other
countries and especially those of Kerala to get these revelations as a sign in
confirmation of this humble self’s truthfulness, and Allah made you witness
revelations on yourselves personally.”
“These
revelations are also tests for you. Very often, when
someone other than the Prophet receives revelations, he becomes happy; this
indeed was a sign for him in favour of the Messenger of Allah, especially like
we witnessed today the revelation in which it is said: “O
Prophet of Allah, O Prophet of Allah, O Prophet!” – Allah is
clearly indicating that this person (this humble self) is indeed a prophet of
Allah.
But it very often happens, that when now the
Prophet of Allah receives a revelation that is against the wishes of someone (a
disciple of the Prophet), it very often happens that the disciple in question, the very
one who has witnessed the revelations coming down on the Prophet of Allah night
and day, and which he also personally witnessed on himself (the disciple),
therefore, when a revelation comes which is not in his favour, it so happens
that he revolts against Allah and His Prophet..."
