358 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION is, it would be a Saturday. It was appointed this way so that the day of 'Id which was a Friday should signify that the day when there will be two Ids in the homes of Muslims, the following day would bring two mournings in the homes of the Aryas¹*. This prophecy is not only recorded in my books, but Lekh Rām himself quoted it in his book and, thereby, made it known to his own community prior to its fulfilment. In response to this prophecy, he wrote in his book concerning me, that 'My Parmeshwar has revealed to me that this man (meaning this humble one) will die of cholera within three years, for he is a liar. "2" This 'revelation' of Lekh Rām stipulating three years was quite like the one ‘Abdul-Ḥakīm Khān has now published, stipulating three year period about my death. Indeed, this prophecy of mine was against Lekh Rām and was in the form of a mubāhalah [prayer duel]. The books by Lekh Rām are still available and are very well known among the Āryas wherein Lekh Rām has recorded the prophecy ascribing it to his Parmeshwar. Similarly, my own prophecy that stipulated Lekh Ram's death within six years had become famous among hundreds of thousands of peo- ple. For example, this prophecy was recorded in my book Karāmātuṣ- Sadiqin, published in Șafar 1311 Hijrah, which is an Arabic book; its translation is as follows: 1. ☆ Lekh Rām was assassinated on Saturday. Ïd al-Fitr fell on Friday which in its own right is a day of 'Ïd [festival] in Islam. In other words, the indication was that the day prior to Lekh Rām's assassination, Muslims would celebrate two Ids; and the day after the twin Ïds, the house of the Aryas would be afflicted with twin mournings—one because their leader had been killed and the other because the fulfilment of my prophecy had proven their religion false.
