Haqiqatul-Wahi (The Philosophy of Divine Revelation) — Page 87
CHAPTER IV 87 declare that if, after this prayer of mubahalah that should be publicly announced and published in at least three well-known newspapers, such a person, who engages in this mubahalah under oath and with this stipulation, should escape heavenly chastisement, everyone will have the right to conclude that I am not from God. No period needs to be fixed in this mubahalah. The only condition would be that such an event should take place that affects the hearts. I will now record some of the revelations from God along with their translation. * The purpose of writing them is that anyone who wants to enter into a mubahalah with me should clearly reproduce all of these revelations of mine in the body of his mubahalah article (that should be published) and stipulate in the published declaration that all of these revelations are human fabrications and not the Word of God. Also he ought to specify that he has studied these revelations with dil- igence and that he swears by God that this is human fabrication, i. e. this is fabrication of this man and he has not received any revelation from God, the Exalted. Here 'Abdul-Ḥakīm Khān, Assistant Surgeon, Patiala, who revoked his pledge of allegiance to me and turned apostate is specifically addressed. Now I will write those revelations as examples as follows: 1. The arrangement of these revelations is varied on account of repetition because these sentences of the revelation from Allah have been revealed to me with different sequences at different occasions. Some sentences have been revealed to me perhaps 100 or even more times. Therefore their reading is not uniform it may continue to vary in future. It is the practice of God that His Holy Word is revealed piecemeal and flows on the tongue and springs forth from the heart. God then arranges these varied pieces Himself, sometimes placing the first piece at the end. It is His essential practice that all those sentences are not placed in a specific sequence. They are read in various ways as far as the sequence is concerned. Also, when a revelation is repeated, some of its words differ somewhat from the previous revelation. This practice is unique to God; He alone knows His secrets. (Author)
