430 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION in his book Fath-e-Raḥmānī, and at the time of praying against me, he wrote in his book Fath-e-Raḥmānī these words concerning me acy which mean that I and all my followers be destroyed; there- upon he died within a few weeks and the mark of disgrace that he wished for me by asking for my death, was sealed as his own eternal fate. Will someone answer me whether this is a mere coincidence or if it came to pass by the will of God Almighty? I am still alive by the grace of God Almighty but more than eleven years have passed since the death of Ghulām Dastagīr. What do you all think now? Did God dislike the false Masiḥ and Mahdi of Muḥammad Tahir's time, bear- ing enmity to him, while God looked upon the 'false Masih' born in the time of Ghulam Dastagīr with affection and honoured him to the extent that he killed Ghulām Dastagīr during his lifetime and—return- ing his own curse to him-made him drink from the cup of death and cast this stigma of disgrace upon him until the Day of Judgment? Had I died as a consequence of the prayer of Ghulām Dastagīr against me and had Ghulām Dastagīr continued to live up until now, would my enemies—indeed, the enemies of Islam—not have clam- oured and proclaimed my falsehood with the beat of a kettledrum? Then why are the elders of the Ummah so tongue-tied now? Is this their righteousness? And [strange indeed it is] to say that this was not a mubahalah! Suppose this is not a mubāhalah, but it still is a prayer against me in imitation of Muḥammad Țähir; in contrast to it is my revelation: إِنِّي مُهِينٌ مَّنْ أَرَادَ إِهَانَتَكَ [I shall humiliate him who designs to humiliate you. ] How is it that I was not adversely affected by this malediction but a clear effect was shown by God Almighty's revelation: إِنِّي مُهِيْنٌ مَّنْ أَرَادَ إِهَانَتَكَ [I shall humiliate him who designs to humiliate you. ]
