11 November 2011: During his Friday Sermon on this day, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa stated that today was the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year 2011, and mentioned a revelation of the Promised Messiahas:

بعد‭ ‬‮١١‬۔انشاء‭ ‬اللہ‭ ‬تعالىٰ

“After eleven, if the Almighty God so wills.” (Tadhkirah [English], p. 542)

Huzooraa said that members of the Jamaat try to make assumptions about this revelation and also write to him. However, Huzooraa continued, the Promised Messiahas had himself said:

“As for ‘after eleven, if the Almighty God so wills,’ I do not know whether by eleven it is meant eleven days, eleven weeks, eleven months or eleven years. In any case, a Sign indicating proof of my innocence will appear within that period.” (Arba‘in Number 4, Ruhani Khazain, Vol. 17, p. 457, footnote]

Huzooraa then said:

“Always remember that there are many revelations in which Allah the Almighty has promised the manifestation of His succour, support and graciousness using the word بَغْتَۃً, which means that all that would happen suddenly.”
