 Dr.
Dahesh (Salim Mousa El-Achi)
(1909 - 1984)
Divertissement
and pastime are not the object of this address. We have had enough
of the vain amusements of life that provoked fatal consequences
to humanity. I want this talk to be charged with the thunder of
the Spirit, to be amalgamated with the flame of faith, and to be
based on rationalism and rigorous evidences.
I have come
to you with the food that men have not tasted for two thousand years.
This food will be celestial Mama to some, and deadly poison to others.
Through it many will be aroused and established, whereas others
will still be confounded. But life shall hold no account to its
children if they are not strong and pure. To these alone, the reins
shall be handed over.
When «The
league Of the Spiritual Fraternity» of unlighted university
students invited me to give this address and to talk about «THE
PRODIGIES OF DR. DAHESH AND THE UNITY OF RELIGION», I was
vividly impressed by the gravity of the subject.
On one side,
a Man whose personality is ascending and surpassing the terrestrial
limits for about the past half century is being affirmed and amplified
day in day out.
The people interrogate
about his being, making contradictory opinions about him. They make
him the object of unjustifiable attacks which are intensified later
on by fussy noises around his ever growing reputation.
Nothing can
touch this man, as though he were a citadel not built by human hands.
The attacks and the accusations cannot reach his fortification,
and the looks of pride and defiance against him turn back, humiliated
by his eminence.
On the other hand, great importance is given to the Unity of Religions
and to the destiny of man and his soul. A general interest envelops
the world, embracing the Vatican, America, Athens and up to Lebanon,
to such an extent that it appears to the observer that the unity
of religions is of a pressing need and that it has been inserted
as an essential world reality in the social and cultural trends.
Yet, two reasons have spurred me to tackle this affair inspire of
the gravity of the subject:
The first reason
is that the lecture is being held is one of the auditoriums of the
American University, the home and refuge of bold liberal thinking
in Lebanon. And the second reason is the fact that this lecture,
and the date on which it is going to be given, take part in Dr.
Dahesh's prodigies.
After I had
been informed by «The League Of The Spiritual Fraternity»
That the A.U.B. ( American University of Beirut) authorities, in
agreement with the Student's Council, have fixed the 12th of May
as the date assigned for this lecture, I searched in the Daheshite
documents at my disposal and to my great surprise I discovered that
in some of the papers dating back to 1942, the first lecture about
Daheshism was given on the same date, the 12th of May (28 years
ago) by the first Daheshite believer, the late Youssef et Hajj,
father of Professor Kamal el Hajj, I hardly got in touch with Dr.
Dahesh to inform him about this extraordinary coincidence when I
discovered that it was not pure hazard as I had originally thought,
but a real spiritual design. Dr. Dahesh intimated to me a fact which
is even stranger. It was one of his prophecies written 28 years
ago by the late poet Halim Damous who used to register down, and
in his own handwriting, all Daheshite occurrences, serially, and
by order of their happenings, in which he predicted that I shall
give today, and at the American university, a lecture on Dr. Dahesh's
Prodigies. The day when Halim Dammous wrote this prophecy in his
own handwriting I was then only six years of age and Daheshism was
only known to me twenty years later.
Everyman with
an authentic scientific culture knows, as I know, that the world
is governed by permanent natural laws. The law of cosmic movement,
that of universal attractibility, that of relativity, the law of
the conservation of energy and many other laws have existed in the
cosmos ever since the world came into existence. All that human
reason can do is to lift up gradually the veil that masks these
laws.
But no matter what human determination may be, it cannot penetrate
the laws of nature. This is a scientific truth confirmed by the
great physician Max Plank (winner of the Nobel Prize in 1918), discoverer
of the theory of Quantum, and confirmed by other scholars. The laws
of nature cannot be subjected to our will, since they existed long
before life appeared on earth, and they will continue to exist after
its disappearance.
Yet in spite
of my scientific conviction that human desire is subjected to the
laws of nature and despite the impossibility for any man existing
to challenge it, I have had, however, the occasion, during my seven
years in company with Dr. Dahesh, to witness tens of times, the
laws of nature being transgressed by him in a very obvious manner.
Such happenings led me naturally to serious enquiries and investigations.
I never neglected during that time any important book dealing these
extraordinary things, whether the book was in Moscow, Washington,
London or Paris.
I saw with my
own eyes and touched with my fingers tens of the prodigies realized
in front of me by this astonishing man. These miracles left permanent
evidences which were seen by persons who did not know Dr. Dahesh
and were plainly convinced by their authenticity.
This was not
sufficient to me. I contacted a great number of people who have
witnessed, like me, Dr. Dahesh's miraculous performances. I listened
to them directly, analyzed what they reported and compared their
reports with other witnesses. Then I tried to make approaches between
what I have gathered and their relation to the natural, psychological
and social sciences as well as to the religion and logic. Out of
all this, I made the following conclusion:
1)
The strange occurrences by Dr. Dahesh are nothing but real miracles
which cannot be classified as among the games of a conjurer or attributed
to suggestion, witchcraft, spiritism or hypnotism.
Dr. Dahesh does
not accomplish his miracles through his own free will, for his will,
like other human wills, is bound to the laws of the planet it is
born in. What therefore performs these miracles is a spiritual force,
not a terrestrial one and not subjected to the laws of our world
because it is far superior to it.
Dr. Dahesh may be considered as a spiritual media to God or an instrument
of choice to execute God's will.
2) The thing which has necessitated the manifestation
of the Spirit and the realization of the prodigies in this century
is the tragic condition of a wretched world which is badly in need
of a savior. The aim is purely spiritual, I mean to say: a regeneration,
a renaissance, the confirmation of the existence of the Soul, its
immortality, the existence of the Creator, reward and punishment,
with palpable materialistic proofs, necessary to our materialistic
era.
3) The unification of religions is their clear
and profound significance, the return to pure and veritable faith,
living a just and honorable life - these constitute the inevitable
consequences of the miracles of the Spirit, and the essential needs
for the man of our century.
As for these three points, I shall analyze them successively, supported
with decisive proofs.
I-
MIRACLES OF DR. DAHESH
Before treating
this subject, it is necessary to start with three explanatory remarks:
a)
Those who have seen Dr. Dahesh's prodigies, and witnessed them either
before me or at the same time, were, the majority of them, of an
educated class of people, well-cultured and perfectly enlightened.
Among them were physicians, engineers, journalists, professors of
universities, bishops, learned men, keen reporters, attorney-generals,
judges, lawyers, and a great number of deputies (Members of Parliament),
ministers and executive officers – all of them have declared that
what they have seen was certainly the objective truth, undeniable,
even if their interpretations to these phenomenal miracles differed
at certain points.
b) A
huge number of these witnesses who had their faith affirmed in the
same manner as St. Thomas, and who had the Daheshite truth illuminating
their souls, believed in Dr. Dahesh's mission and did not recoil
no matter what the sacrifices were. They endured persecution, suffering
and disagreements of all sorts even from their own parents.
As for the lady
of letters, portrayer and author, known as Mrs. Mary Chiha Haddad,
she had to suffer persecution from her sister, the late Laura, wife
of the late Besharah el Khoury who was then the President of the
Lebanese Republic. Her sister imprisoned her for the sake of compelling
her to abandon her new faith, but as Mrs. Haddad insisted on keeping
her convictions; her sister circulated the rumors that she was mad
and ordered her to be confined in a hospital for mental diseases,
but soon Mary went out from the hospital, perfectly sane, faithful
to her belief, respected as she was before, and continued to profess
literature and arts and kept on maintaining her relations with the
miraculous man. She is still alive. Her sister and her brother-in-
law, the ex-President, both passed away a long time ago.
Mr. George Haddad,
her husband, at the time of the persecution preferred to leave behind
him the terrestrial glory and wealth, and be jailed for months for
the sake of his beliefs. He also witnessed a great number of miracles
and the spiritual teachings of Dr. Dahesh brought back to him his
faith in God, in the immortality of the Soul and made his life a
decent one.
The late Dr.
George Khabsa, the well know specialist in skin diseases, renounced
his chair as Professor in the French Faculty of Medicine and gave
his resignation as a protest to an article published by the Jesuit
newspaper «El Besheer» against Dr. Dahesh.
Dr. Farid Abu
Sleiman resigned his official post as Government Medical Officer
after he was left with the choice of either doubling his salary
or renouncing his Daheshite faith.
The poet Halim
Dammous suffered for more than a year in prison because of his tenacity
in his faith. He preferred preaching the Daheshite truth on the
vanities of the word.
The former Attorney-General
in Beirut, Mr. Dimitri Hayek was forced to renounce his post after
he had refused to direct a false accusation against Dr. Dahesh.
He had witnessed a great number of the miracles and had believed
in Dr. Dahesh's mission.
It is not necessary
to enumerate further the names of those who made sacrifices to the
cause of the new Spiritual Mission. I shall not tell you about myself
and the things I went through, for that will take too long to relate.
Now, would it be reasonable to consider all those named above as
victims of imagination during tens of years? Would they all renounce
their important positions, their considerable wealth, their pacific
way of living, their friends and their own relatives, preferring
the trials, the sufferings and the discomfort for a fictitious object?
No and a thousand times no. Had the truth not been so obvious, they
would not have testified for it! Had they not touched at with their
own fingers, verified it with their intelligence, and accepted it
as something superior and to the welfare of this world, they would
not have left, with no regret at all, the glory of this earth and
its inducements.
c) The miracles which took place and those which
are still taking place through the intermediary of Dr. Dahesh, are
not all of one kind, not even of ten kinds, but rather of hundreds
of types embracing men, animals, plants, and inanimate objects.
These miracles are of a materialistic nature, palpable, unchanged
as to their existence, unchanged when examined and unchanged when
in photographic pictures. The one who can throw a glance at the
ensemble of these miracles cannot but bow down with respect and
glorify this grand and extraordinary spiritual force which created
them. If we were to register all the miracles of Dr. Dahesh we would
have used numerous huge volumes.
Dr. Dahesh with Dr. Khabsa on his right and Dr. Abu Sleiman on his
left
Among the miracles
which were accomplished and which are still being fulfilled through
the intermediary of Dr. Dahesh and the spiritual force, I would
like to mention the following few examples:
- Curing instantaneously incurable diseases.
- Saving from death or from damage to bodily injuries.
- The reproduction of life’s happenings and the exact recording,
in a most astonishing way, of people’s talks no matter how secret
and far they were.
- The predicting in details of forthcoming events no matter how
different, difficult or numerous they were.
- Knowing the thoughts and the dreams.
- The ability of speaking any existing language.
- The giving of life to plants, dead animals, and inanimate objects.
- The creation of things prior to their palpable existence and the
bringing them back to life after their annihilation.
- The growing of plants, the ripening of fruits within an eye glance.
- The changing of the nature of things and their functions, making
them bigger, smaller, taller and changing their form and colour.
- Transformation of ordinary ore into precious one, the ordinary
paper into real currency notes.
- Changing a losing lottery ticket a winning one, no matter how
much the value was.
- Tracing lost things and making them appear within a glance.
- The transfer of material objects from one place to another regardless
of weight or distance and so on.
- But the greatest of all these miracles is, in my opinion, the
plurality of «the personalities» of Dr. Dahesh and their
miraculous power.
These are some
of the miracles operated through the mediation of an extraordinary
man – a Lebanese. He must be considered as the miracle of the 20th
century.
I shall limit
myself now to relate only six of his miracles keeping the question
of the plurality of his personality till the end. However, I shall
not limit myself to what I have personally witnessed, but will also
use examples of what others have seen. All these facts made me fully
convinced.
I- HEALING
OF DISEASES:
No doubt medical science has attained a very high degree of progress
during this century. But there are limits and obstacles which cannot
be cleared yet and which should be taken into consideration. On
one side, there are numerous diseases and natural disablements which
are beyond any medical control; and on the other side, although
medicine can cure numerous diseases, it cannot cure them without
the application of drugs or within a glance. This miracle differs;
it cures abruptly and can turn incurable refractory illness to permanent
cures. I shall relate only one example:
MRS MARY MIZRAHI,
a Palestinian woman, living in Jerusalem, suffered from officially
identified leprosy. She was treated for a long time by several doctors,
but the horrible disease invaded her whole body. Her fingers, nose,
ears, and part of her lips became putrified. The woman was in a
desperate state and her appearance became horrific. She heard about
Dr. Dahesh’s miracles. So she went with her brother to see him.
A spiritual session was held for her. About 30 well educated persons
attended this session. Among them were five Doctors, namely: Abdul
Ahad, Khoury, Ashy, Abu Sleiman and Khabsa. All confirmed that the
nature of her disease was incurable. During the spiritual session
Dr. Dahesh touched with his hand the body of the woman and immediately
a new flesh began to appear replacing the putrid one, and the empty
hollows in the body started to get filled with every suffering member
being healed. The worn out body which was calling death regained
its agreeable aspect of good health.
There were
dozens of such miraculous cures. Different persons who were attacked
by incurable diseases and different disablements were cured. Among
them were: Elie Maalouf, Zeina Haddad, Magda Haddad, Ceylani Rahmeh,
Suzan Kamburji, Grace Gabriel and many others.
II-
THE MIRACULOUS WRITTEN ANSWERS:
Mr. Edward Noon, an ex-Minister after having seen and witnessed
a number of Dr. Dahesh’s palpable miracles, wanted to increase his
spiritual knowledge. So he wrote at home 72 questions relating to
the history of humanity, its obscure ages, origin, and about the
unclarified matters about man and religions - things which science
has not been able yet to report on their final truth. Mr. Noon had
spread those questions on approximately 30 full-scap pages, type-written,
with a space between one question and the other to allow for inserting
the corresponding answer.
He went to
Dr. Dahesh’s house. There were many people there. Among them: The
Haddads, Halim Dammous, Doctors Abu Sleiman, Khabsa and Ashi. All
went through Mr. Noon’s difficult questions. The question papers
were put in a sealed envelope and the spiritual session was held.
All of a sudden Dr. Dahesh touched the envelope and said: «You
have the answers». This did not take more than a glance. Those
present were deeply surprised when they opened the envelope and
saw the 72 answers, clearly written and set properly under 72 questions
distributed over approximately 30 full scap sheets. Theses miraculous
documents are still in the possession of the great lawyer who keeps
them preciously.
I know dozens
of persons who have witnessed such written answers and I am one
of them.
III-
TRANSMUTATION OF THINGS:
Hundred and
thousands are the miracles through which the nature and the function
of objects were changed.
- A visitor brought with him a chinaware dish bearing identification
signs and it was changed during a spiritual session into a wooden,
glass and golden dish. The original signs and identification remained
unchanged.
- Water was changed into wine.
- Paper into stone.
- Stone into precious metal.
- Several were the times when I cut white ordinary paper into small
dimensions and registered my name on them with other written indications.
These papers were changed in the presence of Dr. Dahesh into Lebanese
currency notes of different values, bearing my name and the written
indications.
Such miraculous
transformations occurred in the presence of hundreds; amongst them
were the delegate of the «ARAB WEEKLY» magazine and
Mr. Hafiz Khairallah, the delegate of «AN NAHAR» newspaper.
They both photographed the different stages of the miracle at the
time of its occurrence. Its veracity was confirmed in the photographic
picture, as it was also confirmed to the public eye.
The changing
also of losing lottery tickets winning ones occurred more than once.
One these miracles happened in my presence and that of Mr. Mohsen
Sleem, an M.P. of Beirut, and in the presence of many others. A
losing lottery ticket was converted into LL 10.000 winning number.
Many still remember the great fuss which resulted from this change
in the presence of two judges Mahmoud Bekai and Mahmoud Na’aman
and the lawyer Chafik Sardouk and Dr. Farid Abou Sleiman, to such
an extent that the National Lottery Directorate was compelled to
deny the rumors, fearing that the people might not be any longer
interested in buying the lottery tickets. The National Lottery Directorate
had to pay nevertheless the 10000 L.L. to Dr. Farid Abou Sleiman
when he presented the miraculous ticket after they had examined
it for several days and ascertained its complete validity.
IV-
CREATING LIFE AND REVIVNG THE DEAD
Giving life
to inorganic substances!
Reviving the
Dead! And why not as long as the Divine Spirit is Omnipotent?
It was prior
to the campaign of persecution launched against Dr. Dahesh, and
in the presence of Sheikh Mounir Takieddin, Alexander Riachi, Yousef
el Hajj and Halim Dammous that the astonishing man stood in front
of a cage for birds and with a movement of his hand converted all
birds there in into dead ones. Ha said addressing his visitors:
«This is what we can do also to people. » It was the
Spirit which spoke.
That same afternoon,
and in the presence of Mr. Edward Noon, a spiritual session was
held during all those present requested that life be returned to
the dead birds. Their corpses were brought in from the garden and
were placed again in the cage. The miracle took place and the birds
returned to life singing.
Once Dr. Dahesh
referred to a painting made by Mrs. Mary Haddad, and which showed
a bird on a tree. The colours of the painting moved and took the
form of flesh, blood and feathers and the bird in that painting
was converted into a living bird which was placed in a cage and
remained there for several years. Its place on the linen remained
white.
Some months
ago, Dr. Dahesh went into the store of Messrs Elie and Hady Hajjar
where toys and stuffed birds are sold. He placed his hand on one
of the stuffed birds. The bird began to move, left its perch to
which it was nailed and was later placed in a cage where he lived
several months.
Glory to the
almighty, master of death and life!
How stupid
man is when he gets drunk by the vanity of his scientific inventions.
His pride blinds him and makes him and makes him deny god.
What is the
intelligence of man compared to the power of the spirit?
The National Lottery Ticket which, from loosing, became a win prize...
and the payment
V- CREATION
- Creating something
not existing.
- Creating a newspaper several days before its appearance.
- Creating something after its annihilation.
All three are
identical vis-à-vis the Spirit. For the one who can create
and who is master of life and death can accomplish anything.
Documents,
currency bills and pictures were burnt in the presence of several
people and were recreated within a glance.
It happened
to me more than once I filled a piece of paper with different writings,
and then burnt it with my own hands and kept its ashes. Dr. Dahesh
used to bring it back to existence with all my handwritings appearing
there-on. This used to happen either in his presence or at home
far from him.
The two following
miracles could be considered among the most extraordinary miracles
which provoked the greatest admiration and glory to God and humiliation
to man:
The first occurred
to Mr. Philip Hadshiti who entered once Dr. Dahesh’s house carrying
along with him the French written Lebanese daily newspaper «LE
JOUR» While reading and turning the pages, he was writing
on the margin questions which he wanted to ask during the Spiritual
Session which he was promised. The session was held in the presence
of several persons when Dr. Dahesh asked Mr. Hadshiti whether he
believed in God.
- “To tell you
the truth,” answered Mr. Hadshiti, “I do not believe in God and
I announced that frankly in Paris during my sojourn there.”
- “What do you want me do to make you believe and show you that
you are greatly mistaken? Asked Dr. Dahesh.
- “A miracle,” replied Mr. Hadshiti.
- “Very well,” said Dr. Dahesh. “Look at the newspaper you are holding.”
Mr. Hadshiti looked at it and suddenly his voice shrieked with surprise.
The newspaper’s edition which he brought along with him was dated
28th of November and a new edition bearing the date of December
3rd superseded the first, i.e. Four days before its issuance. All
the questions which he interested on the margin of the first edition
were reproduced and appeared on the new one he now had in his hands.
On December 3rd he compared that day’s edition with the one which
was miraculously created four days ago, and found both issues identical
containing the same happenings and events, same local and world
news. This miracle in itself contained thousands of prophecies.
Philip Hadshiti entered Dr. Dahesh’s house as a non-believer and
went out believing in the Omnipotence of God.
The second
miracle took place in 1943 in the presence of Messrs. Edward Noon,
George Haddad, Dr. Khabsa, Mrs. Mary Haddad, and many others. The
miracle was really a strange one.
While they
were all gathered around Dr. Dahesh during a spiritual session a
young beautiful girl suddenly appeared in front of them. They were
surprised and thought they were victims of hallucination. But the
girl told them that they were not and that her name was Nada and
that she came from another material world other than theirs. They
could not believe their eyes and everybody hastened to touch her
to ascertain whether she was in fact a reality. They all found that
she was of flesh and blood, wearing a dress and carrying a sack
which were not of the fashion of that year 1943. Nineteen years
later, the same young girl who had now become a member of the inhabitants
of this earth, visited Dr. Dahesh. She was putting on the same dress
and carrying the same sack and was the same age she had been 19
years ago.
Dr. Dahesh
explained to those present that this miracle confirms the continuity
and renewal of life and the principle of reincarnation of the soul,
its transition from one stage to another whether on earth, or from
one planet to another, depending upon the merit of the soul.
VI-
TRANSPORTATION OF OBJECTS:
These miracles
induced many to become believers.
Dr. Khabsa
had lost his agenda in Paris 12 years before he came to know Dr.
Dahesh. During a Spiritual Session, his agenda was brought to him
and all of a sudden there it was in his hand.
Dr. Farid Abu
Sleiman lost his right hand glove, and could not trace it. After
he became acquainted with Dr. Dahesh, three years later, a Spiritual
Session was held during which Dr. Farid wanted to examine and ascertain
the real existence of the spirit and its power; and therefore asked
Dr. Dahesh to indicate the whereabouts of his glove. Dr. Dahesh
immediately replied: “You have it on your hand.” Dr. Farid took
the glove to home, compared it with the other part of the pair which
he kept at home. It was really the lost glove! Later on he showed
it to hundreds of people.
Mrs. Edward
Noon had lost her golden fountain in the snow while skiing in Laklouk
with Mr. Fouad Khoury, brother of the former Lebanese president,
Sheikh Bisharah el Khoury. This was long before she came to know
Dr. Dashes. During a spiritual session and in the presence of several
people, and upon the request of Mrs. Noon the golden fountain pen
reappeared on the spot. This miracle was sufficient to spur Mr.
Noon to go and inform the president of the republic that what Dr.
Dahesh was doing was not the product of witchcraft or hallucination,
and that his relatives, the Haddads and others were not misled but
were convinced with palpable evidences and proofs.
Miss Odette
Karah had lost her watch in Libya three years before knowing Dr.
Dahesh. The watch was miraculously restituted to her during a Spiritual
Session.
Mrs. Fatina Baltaji, wife of Mr. Mahmud Baltagi, had lost her valuable
diamond ring. She called on many so called wizards for a year or
so without succeeding in recovering it, until finally she was introduced
to Dr. Dahesh. A spiritual session was held in the presence of her
husband and her son, Ali and Messrs. Wafik Zantout, Salah and Hassan
Baltagi and Dr.Farid Abu Sleiman. Dr. Dahesh addressed her husband
saying: «Open your hand». Mr. Baltaji did. Then he was
told to close it and again he did. Dr. Dahesh touched his closed
hand and told him: “Open it now”. There it was! The valuable diamond
ring itself. All who were present witnessed this miracle.
The English
Quaker, Daniel Oliver, principal of the Friends School at Ras el
Metn, attended a spiritual session on the 10th of January 1944 in
the presence of Sheikh Mounir Usseiran, Doctors Toufik Rizk, Antoine
Gedeon, George Khabsa, Farid Abu Sleiman, Najib Ashy, Shaheen Saliby
and Mrs. Rose Salibi and Messrs. Edward Noon, Naser Razzouk, Secretary
to the Iraqi Consulate in Beirut, Boulos Francis, Amine Nimr, Sharif
Baidawi, Commissioner of the Police, George Najjar, Tanios Majdalani
and many others of both sexes.
During the
spiritual session Dr. Dahesh spoke in a general way saying: “If
any one of you wants anything let him ask for it”.
Daniel Oliver
said: “There is a world war at present; the financial help which
used to be sent to me from America for the upkeep of the Orphanage
had not been received for more than two years, because of the present
circumstances and the lack of safe means of transportation. I demand
a spiritual help which could transfer to me a sum from the existing
funds at the Association in the States so that I may be able to
carry on the work at the Orphanage. As soon as Mr. Oliver had finished
his words, Dr. Dahesh told him: “Put your hands in any of your pockets
and you will find that your wish has been fulfilled”. Mr. Oliver
drew from his pockets Lebanese pounds 23.000. He came to Dr. Dahesh
as an unbeliever and went out fully convinced, believing in God,
in the Spirit and its force, as well as in the Daheshite faith.
Dr. Dahesh
went once to Shbaniyyeh woods accompanied with Dr. Khabsa, Yusuf
el Hajj and Halim Dammous. They all sat on a big rock in Hajj’s
property and began to chat. Mr. Dammous wrote the following two
verses of poetry on the rock:
“We sat on a
rock under the shade of a wood,
Drinking our water in memory of our ‘Educator’
Telling my friends ‘and the Dear’ sitting by me,
On the rock of faith, we shall build our hope.”
After they had
gone back to Dr. Dahesh’s house, the three of them told him that
it would be agreeable to sit on that rock again if another opportunity
arises. Dr. Dahesh said: “Nothing can prevent us from doing so right
now, as long as it is your wish”. “But how can this be done and
the rock is in Shbaniyyeh woods and we are in Beirut?” They asked.
“Look at the
ceiling”, he said. And there they saw an enormous block coming down
gently, as if it were a piece of cloth floating in the air. As soon
as it reached the floor of the room, the three of them rushed to
touch it and to their great surprise they found it solid unmovable
rock. They also found the two verses of poetry written on it by
Halim Dammous. They realized then it was the same rock on which
they sat when they were at Shbaniyyeh. They bowed and glorified
God and understood at that moment what Jesus meant when he said:
“For verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard
seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place,
and it shall remove and nothing shall be impossible unto you”. (Matt.
17:20).
The rock remained
for a long time in Dr. Dahesh’s house exposed to hundreds of visitors
who came to see it. Later on it was crumbled by workers and taken
away.
During the
persecution campaign launched against Dr. Dahesh, the speaker of
the house of parliament, Sabri Bey Hamadeh, had decided to visit
Dr. Dahesh to see in person and witness his miracles. A Spiritual
Session was held. There were about 30 witnesses, of these were the
following members of parliament and others: Adib Firzli, Wadi’ Shoucair,
Mohammad Abboud, Baheej el Khateeb, the ex-President of the Syrian
republic, Messrs. Philip Andraos, Khalil Ma’atouk, Georges Najjar,
Sheikh Hassan Makki of Al Azhar, Mrs Gwen, Wife of the ex-American
consul, and other ladies and gentlemen.
Dr. Dahesh
turned towards Sabri Bey Hamadeh and asked him what he desired to
see. The latter replied: “I would like to see here a thing which
I have in mind”. Dr. Dahesh replied that he knew exactly the thing
which speaker was thinking of and asked whether he would like to
see it all. Sabri Bey replied: “Only part of it please!”
Dr. Dahesh
then said to him: “Open your hand, close it, and re-open it again”.
And there he found in his hand five Ottoman Dinars of an antique
date. He was amazed and the people who witnessed this miracle asked
Sabri Bey whether it was the thing he was thinking of. And Sabri
Bey replied that he was thinking of the boxes which were hidden
in his land during the World War I and which were full of golden
Dinars as he was told. Apparently no one was able to locate the
hidden treasure.
Of those who
were present one of them asked Sabri Bey: “But why did you not ask
for all?” And Sabri Bey replied: “I was afraid the golden treasured
would be shared with you all.” And of course he kept the five golden
Dinars with him.
The above is a negative of a prophecy in Dr. Dahesh's handwriting
which was handed
over to Mr Basheer Osman, later on Member of Parliament, long before
the Lebanese
Legislative elections and in which He predicted his success in the
elections by 11856 votes.
