POSTSCRIPT-SIGN NUMBER 152 431 And that very malediction was made to descend upon Ghulām Dastagīr in keeping with the Quranic verse: عَلَيْهِمْ دَابِرَةُ السَّوْءِ The man who wished to be the like of Muhammad Tahir, God made him the like of the false Masīḥ. After his death, blessing upon blessing was showered upon me. Hundreds of thousands of people became my followers and three sons [of mine] were born subsequent to his death. Hundreds of thousands of rupees poured in and God granted me fame with honour virtually across the entire globe. Perhaps our opponents will now claim that the false Masih and Mahdi who died as a consequence of Muhammad Tahir's malediction was actually a coincidental death, not the effect of Muhammad Tahir's prayer. Thus, how far can we answer such claims? They might as well become athe- ists as it already appears—and proceed to say that Ghulām Dastagīr's death was a coincidence. کیوں نہیں لوگو تمہیں حق کا خیال دل میں اُٹھتا ہے میرے سو سو اُبال Why do you care not for truth, O people? It torments my heart greatly. اس قدر کین و تعصب بڑھ گیا جس سے کچھ ایماں جو تھا وہ سڑ گیا Malice and prejudice have increased so much That it has caused to rot whatever little of faith remained. جس کے باعث سے تمہارا نام تھا کیا یہی تقوے یہی اسلام تھا Was this the very righteousness—the very Islam— For which you were renowned? 1. Let evil befall them instead (Sūrah at-Taubah, 9:98). [Publisher]
