Fulfilment of a Grand Prophecy - Hazrat Ahmad’s Challenge to John Alexander Dowie — Page 12
12. Fulfillment of a Grand Prophecy the day while others were getting old, turned out to be utterly false and fraud. Finally, in the first week of March 1907, he died a painful and miserable death. . It is clear. What could be a miracle other than this one? Because my real job is to break the cross, so Dowie's death broke a big part of the cross. Because he was the supporter of the cross to the highest degree, he claimed himself as a prophet and it was he, who said that due to his prayers all. Muslims of the world would perish, and. Islam will vanish and the holy house (Ka'aba) will be deserted. So God eradicated him before my presence. I know that due to. Dowie's death, the prophecy regarding the killing of pigs came true. For who is more dangerous than a person who made false claims for prophet-hood and ate the filth of falsehood like pigs. . Like Dowie wrote himself that he had a belonging of about one hundred thousand who were very rich. The truth is that the personalities of Musa'lama Kazab and. Aswad Ansi were nothing compared to. Dowie. Neither did they enjoy the respect. Dowie had, nor did they share the kind of wealth Dowie had. . Thus I can swear that he was the same pig about whom it was foretold by the Holy. Prophet, peace be upon him, who's death was destined at the time of the Promised. Messiah. If I would not have invited Dowie toward this "Mubahala", and if I would not have prayed for his bad end, and if I would not have publicly declared the prophecy regarding his death, his death would not have been a sign for the truthfulness of Islam. . Since I published it in hundreds of newspapers that Dowie will die in my lifetime and I am the Promised Messiah and. Dowie is false, and I wrote repeatedly that this is the proof that he will die of a very disgraceful death. Thus he died in my lifetime. There could be no other clear miracle that proves the truthfulness of the. Holy Propheta. Now if anyone denies it, he would be the enemy of truthfulness. . Written by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah. Qadian, District Gurdaspur, Punjab, India. April 7, 1907. ANNEXURE 1. Chicago Interpreter, July 28, 1903 2. "Will Dowie Come Forward For This. Duel?". The newspaper gave both of our pictures side by side and wrote that Mirza Sahib says Dowie is a liar and I pray that he be eradicated in my lifetime, and he adds that the way to separate truth from falsehood is to pray to God, that whoever is the liar, may he die in the life of the truthful. . Daily Telegraph, July 5, 1905. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad sends a challenge to Dowie, that, O person, who is a claimant of prophet-hood, come and engages in a "Mubahala" with me. Our duel is with prayers. We will both pray to. God that, whoever is false of the two of us, may die first. 3. Argonaut, San Francisco, December 1, 1902
