MIRACLES, SIGNS AND PROPHECIES. God has informed me directly through His living. Word that if I am troubled by people asking how they should know that I am from Him, I should tell them:. It is sufficient proof that His heavenly signs are my witness, my prayers are accepted, knowledge of the unseen is revealed to me beforehand, and such mysteries, as are known to none other than God, are disclosed to me in advance. And the second sign is that should anyone want to challenge me in the aforesaid matters in the acceptance of prayers, being given prior knowledge of their acceptance, and in being given knowledge of unseen matters that lie beyond the limits of human knowledge he will surely be defeated in this challenge, be he from the. East or from the West. These are the signs that have been vouchsafed to me. [Government Angrezi Aur Jihad, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 17, pp. 29-30]. I swear by God, in Whose hand is my life, that if all the people who have witnessed the signs that have been shown for my sake and for my support were to be gathered at one place, there would be no monarch on earth whose army would exceed them in numbers. . Yet the earth is so full of sin that people are rejecting even these signs. Heaven has testified in my support and so has the Earth. [I'jāz-e-Ahmadi, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 19, p. 108] 1
