Miracles, Signs and Prophecies 3 God always fulfilled my needs and my wishes. And some are of the kind whereby, in keeping with His promise إِنِّي مُهِينٌ مَّنْ أَرَادَ إِهَانَتَكَ God brought humiliation and disgrace upon those who tried to harm me. Some signs are of the kind in which, according to His Prophecies, He made me victorious over those who filed lawsuits against me. Some are of the kind that pertain to the length of my ministry, for ever since the world was created no impostor has ever been allowed such a long period of respite. Some signs are of the kind that are manifested through observing the condi- tion of the age that this age is in need of an Imam. Some signs are of the kind which represent the fulfil- ment of my prayers in favour of my friends. Some signs are of the kind which represent the fulfilment of my prayer against malicious enemies. Some signs are of the kind in which terminally ill patients were cured and I was informed of their recovery in advance. Some signs are of the nature whereby, for my sake, God caused a number of heavenly and earthly calami- ties as a testimony to my claim. Some are of the sort whereby many eminent and renowned saints saw dreams in which the Holy Prophetsa appeared to them and testified to my claim, among these is the Sajjadah Nashīn Şahib-ul-'Alam of Sindh who has nearly one hundred thousand followers, and Khawaja Ghulām Farid of Chāchrāń. Some signs are such that thou- sands of people pledged Bai'at at my hand only because they were informed in a dream of my truth- ¹ I shall humiliate him who designs to humiliate thee. [Publisher]
