9 November 1905: Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi, peace be upon him, was in Amritsar and delivered a lecture here. For this purpose, a lecture hall of Advocate Rai Kunahya Lal was booked. The lecture began at 8am, but opponents of the Promised Messiahas began to disrupt this blessed event with their uncivilised behaviour. He started his journey towards Batala soon afterwards. Hazrat Ahmadas himself narrates, “I saw a sugar cane in my dream, the general interpretation of which is some mischief or disturbance. This was accompanied by the revelation:

اِنِّیْ مَعَ الرَّسُوْلِ اَقُوْمُ

“[I shall stand with My Messenger].”

Al Hakam added, “This dream and revelation was narrated by him before the lecture. The lecture was delivered in full in half an hour. The shortأsighted opponents and troublemakers tried to create such disturbance that they imagined that they had succeeded in their evil design.”

12 November 1899: A small but prestigious gathering was arranged in Qadian on this day in connection to the departure of a research delegation. A proposed party of learned companions was to travel to the Middle East to collect newly found evidence and properly record and fortify the already available facts regarding the historic escape journey of Jesusas from his home-town towards Kashmir. This assembly was named “The Farewell Jalsa”. During the very days in which the Promised Messiahas was writing his book, Jesus in India, it came to light that certain relics of the Messiahas of Nazareth had been found in Nasibain (situated in the Arab country of Iraq), which furnished evidence of the Messiah’s journey and corroborated the fact that he settled in Kashmir. The Promised Messiahas deemed it advisable to dispatch a commission or delegation to personally investigate and examine these relics and the state of affairs and then for the delegation to return to Qadian from the route on which the Messiahas journeyed to Kashmir. In order to see off this delegation and bid them farewell, an event was arranged by the name of Jalsa Al-Wida (The Farewell Gathering). Due to certain compelling circumstances, the dispatch of this delegation was postponed. The event, nonetheless, was held on 12-14 November 1899 with great excitement and celebration. An address was delivered by the Promised Messiahas on this occasion. (Malfuzat [English], Vol. 2, p. 50)

12 November 1893: A single page agreement was signed on this day, which gave birth to the famous Durand Line (border between Afghanistan and Pakistan). This accord was reached between Sir Mortimer Durand, a British diplomat and civil servant of the British Raj and Abdur Rahman Khan, the Afghan Amir, to fix the limit of their respective spheres of influence and improve diplomatic relations and trade. The Afghan side was represented by Hazrat Sahibzada Abdul Latifra (who later did Bai‘at of Hazrat Ahmadas and was martyred in Kabul) with others dignitaries. The original 1893 agreement was written in English, with translated copies in Dari.
