An Example of Accepted Prayer An i s-e-Hind Of Meerath and an Objection to My Prophecy I have received An i s-e-Hind of 25 th March, 1893, which contains some criticism of the prophecy I had published with regard to Lekhram of Peshawar. 1 I 1 The words of the Prophecy are as follows: 'On 20 th February, 1886, I published an announcement wherein I proposed to Indarman and to Lekhram of Peshawar that, if they so wished, I could publish some prophecy regarding their future destiny. Indarman avoided my proposal and died soon afterwards. Lekhram, on the other hand, accepted the proposal with great audacity and wrote to me a letter stating that I could go ahead and publish any prophecy regarding him. Thus, in answer to my supplications, I received the following revelation from God Almighty: That is: This is just a lifeless calf, from which a mournful bleating emanates. For him, on account of his blasphemy and foul language, grief and severe chastisement has been ordained. Today, Monday 20 th February, 1893, when I prayed to be informed about the time of this impending punishment, it was revealed to me that within six years from today—20 th February, 1893—this person would suffer dreadful chastisement on account of the foul and abusive language he has used against the Holy Prophet sa. Therefore, I now publish this prophecy for the knowledge of Muslims, Christians, A ryas, and people of other faiths. If this person is not visited by some Divine punishment—which is miraculous in nature, and is distinct from everyday afflictions, and is far beyond ordinary suffering, and is accompanied by Divine awe—within these six years, then let it be known that I have not been commissioned by God, and these words are not from Him. And if I prove to be false in my prophecy I shall be ready to face any punishment. ' ( Majm u ‘a Ishtih a r a t , vol. 1, pp. 304-305) [Publishers]
