104 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION Allah is not such as to leave you until He clearly distin- guishes between the foul and the pure. When the help and the victory of Allah Almighty will come and the word of your Lord is fulfilled, the disbelievers will be told, 'This is what you has- tened for. ' I decided to appoint a khalifah [vicegerent] from Myself so I created this Adam. He drew nearer to God and then turned towards mankind and between the two he became like one chord between two bows. He will revive the Faith and will estab- lish the Shariah. O Adam! Dwell you and your companions in of Persia!' All these divine statements prove that my family is, in reality, Persian, not Mogul. I do not know by what misunderstanding the family became known as Mogul. According to my information our family tree runs as follows. My father's name was Mirzā Ghulam Murtaḍā, his father's name was Mirzā 'Ață Muḥammad; Mirzā ‘Aṭā Muḥammad's father was Mirzā Gul Muḥammad; Mirzā Gul Muḥammad's father was Mirzā Faiḍ Muḥammad; Mirza Faiḍ Muḥammad's father was Mirzā Muḥammad Qa'im; Mirzā Muḥammad Qa'im's father was Mirzā Muḥammad Aslam; Mirzā Muḥammad Aslam's father was Mirzā Dilāwar; Mirzā Dilawar's father was Mirzā Allah-Dīn; Mirzā Allah-Din's father was Mirza Ja'far Baig; Mirzā Ja'far Baig's father was Mirzā Muḥammad Baig; Mirzā Muḥammad Baig's father was Mirzā 'Abdul-Baqi; Mirzā ‘Abdul-Baqi's father was Mirzā Muhammed Sultān; Mirzā Muhammed Sultān's father was Mirzā Hādī Baig. It appears that Mirzā and Baig were bestowed upon them as titles, as Khān is bestowed as a title. In any case, what God has manifested is indeed correct. Man can fall into error from a minor mistake, but God is free from omission and error. (Author)* *Sub-Footnote: There is another prophecy concerning my family, which is that God says about metal (Translation): 'Salman', that is, my humble self, who lays the foundation of two types of reconciliation, 'is one of us, a member of the family. This divine revelation confirms a well- known account that some of my paternal grandmothers were from among the Sayyeds. Two types of reconciliation implies that God has ordained that one reconciliation will be brought about through me between the various sects of Islam, and much of the division will be eliminated, and the second reconciliation will be with the external enemies of Islam that many of them will be given an understanding of the truth of Islam and they will enter into Islam. Then the end will come. (Author)
