B AR Ā H Ī N-E-A H M ADIY YA — PART F IV E 110 The prophecy preceding this one was about the fatwa issued by Maulaw i Nadh i r H usain at the written request of Maulaw i Muhammad H usain, which stirred an uproar amongst the people with everyone cutting ties with me, considering it an act of virtue to call me a disbe- liever, faithless, and a deceiver. This prophecy is accompanied by the promise that God would love me more after this, which signifies that people would be drawn towards me, insofar as the love of God demands the love of His creatures. And the pleasure of God demands the pleasure of the right-minded people of this world as well. And as for the last mentioned prophecy regarding the slaughter of two goats, it refers to the incident that manifested itself in the land of Kabul; that is, a member of my Jam a ‘at [Community]—namely ‘Abdur-Ra h m a n—who was a righteous youth, and second, Maulaw i ‘Abdul-La ti f, who was an exceedingly eminent sage, were stoned to death at the command of the Am i r of Kabul simply for the charge of joining my Jam a ‘at. Almost two years have passed since this incident. 1 ٭ Now, this situation needs to be seen with an unbiased eye, for how is it possible that such matters from the unseen—hidden beyond 1. ٭ The incident of the martyrdom of the late brother Maulaw i ‘Abdul-La ti f and the late Shaikh ‘Abdur-Ra h m a n was something so far from the realm of speculation that, until it happened, it could never have crossed our mind that actually the meaning of the divine revelation had foretold that two of my sincere followers would truly be slaughtered. Rather, considering such an occurrence as implausible, I had always been inclined to interpret it other- wise, with various scenarios presenting themselves to my mind, since man’s own knowledge and understanding are never free from error. But when the two incidents occurred exactly as foretold, and the two elders of this Jam a ‘at were mercilessly martyred in Kabul, then with true certainty, the meaning of the divine revelation became transparently clear. And when I re-examined all the words of the revelation, my eyes were opened, and a strangely wondrous delight was created, and I came to know that God had presented this proph- ecy clearly as far as possible and had chosen such words, and explained such aspects, as could not have been truly applied to any other scenario. Subh a n- Allah ! [Holy is Allah!] This shows how, a long time ago, He had foretold un- seen events with such clarity in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya. (Author)
