C H AP T E R T WO — FU L F IL M E N T OF PR OPHE C IE S 101 been mentioned that are separate from the above. In order to fully satiate the thirst of seekers of truth, I shall quote those prophecies here as well. It should be remembered that the miracle here is not just that those prophecies were fulfilled a long time afterwards despite strong opposi- tion by antagonists, but an additional miracle is that, in keeping with the revelation of God Almighty recorded in this book: َ ْك ی َا اَحْمَد ُ بَارَك َ هللا ُ فِ ی Meaning that, ‘O Ahmad, God shall bless your life and your work’, God saved me from death until he had fulfilled all those prophecies. And, despite all the ailments and afflictions that have attended me like two yellow sheets—one in the upper part of my body and the other in the lower part of my body, as were mentioned in authentic hadith as a sign of the Promised Messiah—God has blessed my life, by His grace, just as He had promised, and I recovered from many grave life-threatening ailments. Moreover, many enemies persistently plotted and conspired to ensnare me in some complication that would hasten my departure from this world, but they remained frustrated in their machinations. The hand of my God continued to support me and His holy revela- tion—in which I believe as firmly as I believe in all the Books of God Almighty—consoled and comforted me every day. These, then, are God’s Signs through which one can behold His face. Blessed are those who reflect over them and are fearful of rebelling against God. Had this been the work of man, it would have fallen apart on its own and come to an end—wound up like a scroll—but this is all from that same God who created the heavens and brought the earth into being. Does man have the right to object as to what He does or does not do? And is God such that He can be held accountable for His works? Does man have knowledge greater than His? Does He not know the meaning of the prophecy regarding the Messiah’s descent?
