 The Promised Messiah, peace be on him, in some of his books, announcing his being the Messiah and Mahdi, has brought to the attention of the scholars, the pious and the general public who are seeking truth that in place of issuing edicts of infidelity without reason, or general public following their scholars without thought or understanding, help should be sought from Allah. … The Promised Messiah, peace be on him, in one of his books, Heavenly Sign, has outlined the procedure. …

Many pious-natured try this prescription. They sought guidance from Allah and Allah guided them. Allah also guides such pious-natured who are in the search of righteousness and Allah guides them in that respect. In these times too, to prove the truth of the Promised Messiah, Allah continues to guide those who are sincere in the search of truth. I will present a few of the examples of such people at this time.

… An Egyptian friend related: “I performed Istikhara in accordance with the procedure outlined by the promised Messiah, peace be on him, and prayed. … I saw the same dream … that I am standing in front of the same relative, and waving the finger of my hand, and say to him three times that by God, the Ahmadiyya Community is on truth.” … Allah provided him the opportunity to pledge allegiance to the Khilafat.

… A missionary of ours in the US writes that Abdus-Saleem … was made aware of the traditional procedure for the Istikhara Prayer. He offered the istikhara Prayer. He saw the Promised Messiah, peace be on him, in a dream. … He … saw the Promised Messiah, peace be on him, in a dream. … He … said that he had attained satisfaction … and wanted to pledge himself to the Ahmadiyya Khilafat. He entered the Ahmadiyya Community. The same night the promised Messiah, peace be on him, manifestly appeared in his dream and saluted him, shook hands with him, and congratulated him on accepting Ahmadiyyat. …

The Shaikhs, the so-called scholars, have continued to deceive the Muslims and the general public for the last 120 years. Even today, the words of the Promised Messiah, peace be on him, are being fulfilled with great splendor. He said, “I observe, and you also see, that the ones who considered us infidel have disappeared while Allah has kept me alive and has multiplied my Community.”

Though the Promised Messiah, peace be on him, is physically not present among us, the increase in the Community and his appearance in dreams confirming his truth is a proof of his life.

The Amir of Indonesia writes about a member. … One day he was asked to consider performing the Istikhara Prayer. … He was shown a vision… A strong person was reciting the words, “I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His messenger. Ahmadiyyat is true. You definitely attained the night of decree (Lailatul-Qadr). Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is the Mahdi.” He says that he saw this vision many times. Eventually, he accepted Ahmadiyyat in 2008 along with his spouse. He had to face many difficulties after that. By the grace of Allah, he bore all difficulties with patience and steadfastness.

The Amir of Canada writes, “Bill Robinson was a resident of St Thomas, Ontario. He used to be an enthusiastic Christian. He became distanced from Christianity over time and started praying to God, ‘O God, show me the right path.’ He says that one night he prayed very fervently that if God exists then may He show him the right path. In the morning he saw that there was a pamphlet from the Ahmadiyya Community in his e-mail inbox. Taking the e-mail as a heavenly sign, he contacted the Community. He accepted Ahmadiyyat in March 2011. …

Our … Mu‘allam… from Kazakhstan writes that a lady entered pledge of allegiance with Ahmadiyya Community in 2010. … She saw a dream as if someone had written on a board something in Arabic. She could not read it. She was told its meaning that Imam Mahdi is present among you. About two weeks after this, she was much affected when she saw me addressing on MTA during the German … Jalsa Salana… She says that she had already been told that Imam Mahdi had come… She accepted Ahmadiyyat.

Our missionary-in-charge writes from Sierra Leone that … Dr Tamu … witnessed with the oath of God that Allah had disclosed the truth to him. …

Our friend Yasir Burhan from Syria says that he heard the mention of the Community from his cousin. The truth took root in his heart and he got ready for initiation. “I offered two Rak‘at Prayers two days before, and prayed, O Allah, disclose the truth on me clearly and then provide me the opportunity to follow it.” … “I saw in a dream that someone is holding my hand and is dragging me along. I walked a long way with him then I asked where was he taking me to. He said, ‘You will see all by yourself in a while.’ I saw lofty flames and a multitude of people. Seeing this I became scared and released his hand. A light descended from the heaven at that moment. When I saw him, I told him that I will not go with him because I have found comfort, satisfaction and tranquility on seeing this light. After this dream my heart opened up.” … He then entered the pledge of allegiance.

Ra‘na Muhammad is from Jordon. She says, “… I prayed to Allah for clarity of matters. As a result, I saw many dreams. … I was convinced that what the Promised Messiah, peace be on him, has explained is the beautiful and charming teaching of Islam. I asked my spouse to convey my allegiance.”

Lady Fateeha from Algeria says, “After watching many programs on the MTA, I prayed to Allah. I saw in a dream that I am a part of a large community being guided by Hadrat Khalifatul-Masih V wearing his traditional garb. He is guiding towards a mosque which has its doors open and there is light shining inside the mosque. After this, I sent for allegiance…”
