The other reason is that just as the angels objected to Adam being made the Vicegerent, and God Almighty rejected their objection say- ing, ‘You do not know the circumstances and condition of Adam as I know them’, the same stands true of me. In the earlier parts of Bar a h i n- e-Ahmadiyya , there is a revelation to the effect that people will raise objection regarding me just as they had objected with regard to Hadrat Adam, may peace be upon him. Allah the Exalted says: ھزوًا أھٰذا الذی بعث اللّٰ. جاھل او مجنون ل ِ وان یتخذونك ا Meaning that, people will mock you and ask, ‘Is this the one whom God has raised? He is either a fool or a madman. ’ In reply to them God says in these parts of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya :. یعلمھا الخلق ل ٍ انت َ منّی بمنزلۃ Meaning: ‘Your status with Me is that which the world knows noth- ing of. ’ These words are similar to those the Holy Quran records with regard to Adam: 1 َلاَق ْۤيِّنِا ُمَلْعَا اَم اَل َنْوُمَلْعَت In fact, these very words have been used with regard to me and pub- lished in other books, though not in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya. The third similarity I have with Adam is that Adam was born a twin, and so was I. A girl was born before me and I was born thereafter. At the same time I was my parents’ last child, they had no more children after me. I was also born on a Friday. Adam being born before Eve signified 1. ‘He answered, “I know what you know not”’ ( S u rah al-Baqarah, 2:31). [Publisher]
