POSTSCRIPT-SIGN NUMBER 125 359 After granting my prayer concerning Lekh Rām, God has informed me that he would perish within six years, and his crime is that he vilified the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and reviled him with blasphemous language. Five years prior to Lekh Rām's death, this book had been widely published in Punjab and [the rest of] India. And then, in the public announcement of 22 February 1893 which forms part of my book, A'ina-e-Kamālāt-e-Islām, I had prophesied unequivocally, long before his death, that Lekh Rām would be cut to pieces like the calf of Samiri, and this indicated the fact that the fate of Lekh Rām would be like that of the calf of Samirī that was cut to pieces on a Saturday.

It was the fault of the Āryas that they accorded to this lifeless person—who had no life of spirituality within him and was simply a corpse-a position that should have been accorded to a living person. Therefore, his end was like that of Samiri's calf. When I made this prophecy, some of newspapers mounted attacks
