10. Fulfillment of a Grand Prophecy in 1902 and then in 1903. Several popular newspapers published it. (Names of some of these newspapers are mentioned in the annexure at the end of this discussion). . In this ‘Mubahala' I had prayed for bad consequences to happen to the liar. I had prayed that God might expose the liar with his own judgment. My discussion on this subject of "Mubahala", as I mentioned earlier, was published in some daily and popular newspapers. These newspapers belong to Christians that had no relation with me whatsoever, and the reason to publish this challenge in the newspaper was that Dr. . Dowie, the false prophet, did not respond to me directly. At last I published the “mubahala” (prayer duel) in those popular newspapers that were widely circulated in the whole world. . It is by the sheer blessings of God that although the editors of these newspapers were American Christians and opponents of. Islam, they published my challenge with full exposure in large numbers and this raised a big hue and cry all over America and. Europe, even India received the news of this "Mubahala". The summary of my “mubahala" was this:. Islam is true, and the Christians faith is false. I am the same Messiah from God, whose was destined for the latter days. All the scriptures of prophets have promised this; in addition I wrote in it that Dr. Dowie is false in his claim of prophethood, and in his faith of Trinity.

If I were to put my foot on them I would crush them to death. The fact is that I merely give them a chance to fly away and survive. "(Leaves of Healing,. December 27, 1903). Then in his paper of December 19, 1902, he writes: "This is my job to gather people from the East and West, North and South, and inhabit Christians in this Zion. City as well as other cities, until the day comes when the Mohammedan religion is totally wiped out of this world. Oh God show us the day. '. Thus this man, after this "Mubahala" challenge was published in Europe and. America and in this country and throughout the world, continued to heighten his vituperations. On the other hand, I was waiting that whatever I have sought from. God, regarding him and myself; God will definitely pass a judgment. And this judgment of God will separate the truthful from the false person. And I always prayed in this regard and sought the death of the accursed. Thus, repeatedly, God told me that you will prevail and the enemy will perish. you will prevail and the. Then, fifteen days before the death of. Dowie, God spoke his words to me and
