POSTSCRIPT-SIGN NUMBER 91 رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِي فَرْدًا وَّأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْوِرِثِيْنَ. 305 This revelation from God contains this prayer on my behalf: 'O my Lord, do not leave me alone as I am now, for who is a better inheritor than You. ' That is, though I do have children, a father and a brother at this time, in the spiritual sense I am alone at present, and I seek from You such people who may become my spiritual heirs.

Who can refute my statement that when God Almighty granted me this prophecy—which was written and published in Barāhīn-e- Aḥmadiyya—I was alone, just as God had testified, and there was no one with me except God? Even in the eyes of my kith and kin, I was of no consequence; for, they followed their path, and I followed my path. Moreover, all the Hindus of Qadian, despite their strong opposition to
