NU S R AT U L- H AQ Q — HE L P OF G OD 92 the ravings of a maniac. Who knew that a time would actually come in which thousands would come to visit me in Qadian as was ordained in those prophecies, and several hundred thousand individuals would enter into the pledge of allegiance with me, and I would not remain alone as I had been at the time? God gave me these tidings during the time when I was unknown and alone so that they should stand out as great Signs in the sight of a man of understanding and a seeker after truth, and so that those searching for truth may know with complete conviction that this enterprise is not of human origin nor can it possi- bly be of human origin. At that time I was unknown, alone, and a man of meagre means— means so meagre that my ability was not even worth mention—and I did not belong to any such distinguished family that people would be expected to readily gather around me. At such a time and in such a predicament, who could have made the kind of prophecies that were published in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya twenty-five years1 ٭ ago, some of which I reproduce here by way of specimen: ٍّ اِذَا جَآء َ نَصْر ُ الل ِّٰ وَالْفَتْح ُ وَانْتَھٰی اَمْر ُ الزَّمَان ِ اِلَیْنَا اَلَیْس َ ھَذَا بِالْحَقّ. وَل َ تَیْئَس ْ مِن ْ رَوْح ِ اللِّٰ. ُّٰ اَل َ اِن َّ رَوْح َ الل ِّٰ قَرِیْب. اَل َ اِن َّ نَصْرَالل ِّٰ قَرِیْب. یَاْتِیْك َ مِن ْ كُل ِّ فَج ٍّ عَمِیْق. یَاْتُوْن َ مِن ْ كُل ِّ فَج ْ عَمِیْق. یَنْصُرُك َ الل ُّٰ مِن ْ عِنْدِہ ٖ یَنْصُرُك َ رِجَال ٌ نُوْحِی َ اِلَیْھِم ْ مِّن َ السَّمَآء ِ اِنَّك َ بِاَعْیُنِنَا. یَرْفَع ُ الل نْیَا وَالْٰخِرَۃ. اَنْت َ مِنِّی بِمَنْزِلَۃ ِ تَوْحِیْدِی ْ وَتَفْرِیْدِی ْ فَحَان َ اَن ُّ عَلَیْك َ فِی الد ٗ نِعْمَتَہ ُّ ِ ذِكْرَك َ وَیُتِم ْ تُعَان َ وَتُعْرَف َ بَیْن َ النَّاسِ. ھَل ْ اَتٰی عَلَی الِْنْسان ِ حِیْن ٌ مِّن َ الدَّھْر ِ لَم ْ یَكُن ْ شَیْئًا مَّذْكُوْرًا. وَبَشّر ْ الَّذِیْن َ اٰمَنُوْا اَن َّ لَھُم ْ قَدَم َ صِدْق ٍ عِنْد َ رَبِّھِم ِ وَاْتل ُ عَلَیْھِم ْ مَا اُوْحِی َ اِلَیْك َ مِن ْ رَّبِّكَ. وَل َ تُصَعِّر فَّۃ ِ تَرَی اَعْیُنَھُم ُّ فَّۃِ. وَمَا اَدْرَاك َ مَا اَصْحَاب ُ الص ُّ لِخَلْق ِ الل ِّٰ وَل َ تَسْئَم ْ مِّن َ النَّاسِ. اَصْحَاب ُ الص یْمَانِ. اَمْلُوا. ِْ نَادِی ْ لِل ُّ وْن َ عَلَیْكَ. رَبَّنَا اِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِیًا ی ُّ تَفِیْض ُ مِن َ الدَّمْعِ. یُصَل see pages 240–242 of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya. 2 1. ٭ Actually, many of the prophecies in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya were revealed about thirty years ago, so twenty-five years is the time since Bar a h i n-e- Ahmadiyya was written, not since the prophecies were revealed.
