On the same letter, the Khalifa wrote, he would pray for him. He also wrote a ‘Ro’ya’ (dream) of his own upon the same letter. He wrote: “Insha Allah I shall pray for you. You must also persist in prayers. I saw Hadhrat Umar in a Ro’ya (dream). He was saying, ‘Iran is destroyed’. They [Iranis] abuse me, (Tabarra) l but I don’t care, I am now preparing armies. May Allah make you a commander of that army.”[8]
