Sultān-ul-Qalam. KING OF THE PEN. Allāh the Almighty has named this humble one [King of the Pen] and has called my pen the. Dhulfaqār of 'Alira. ید بیضا که با او تابنده باز با ذوالفقار مے بینم [Tadhkirah, p. 333]. That is, I see his hand, which flashes like a sword in respect of incontrovertible arguments, and then I see him with Dhulfaqār. . This means that there was a time when ‘Alī (may Allāh bless his countenance), held the Dhulfaqār in his hand; but God Almighty will grant the sword to this Imam, and his shining hand will accomplish that which had been accomplished by Dhulfaqār in the past. Thus his hand will seem as if it was the Dhulfaqār of ‘Alīta that has reappeared. This also indicates that the said Imam will be and his pen will serve as Dhulfaqār. . This prophecy is an exact translation of a revelation granted to me, and published in Brāhīn-e-Aḥmadiyya ten years ago. It reads: 50 كِتَابُ الْوَلِيِّ ذُو الْفَقَارِ عَلِي. Dhulfaqār: The sword of Ḥadrat ‘Alīta. [Publisher] 155
