Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya Part V — Page 8
B AR Ā H Ī N-E-A H M ADIY YA — PART F IV E 8 parts were full of magnificent prophecies and the lofty purpose of the fifth part was that those promised prophecies would come to pass. And it is a special Sign of God that, by His sheer grace, He kept me alive until the time when those Signs became manifest and the time came that the fifth part be written. The divine help that was manifested at the time of this fifth part must necessarily be mentioned by way of grat- itude.

And of the four parts of this book that had been pub- lished, some were sold at different prices, while others were distributed free. So, many of those who had made payments, even vilified me and also took their payments back. Had they not behaved so in their haste, it would have been better for them. However, the extent of this delay served to test their true nature. Yet another cause for the delay was that God Almighty may make
