460 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION even a single child has been born to him. As for his first son, he is una- ble to procreate in accordance with the above-mentioned revelation. Thus, the evidence of the prophecy of him remaining issueless is man- ifest and the indications that the lineage will be cut off are present. 1** 168. [ONE HUNDred sixty-eighth] sign—God Almighty had revealed to me that there would be heavy rains so much so that rivu- lets would flow through people's homes and they would be followed by terrible earthquakes. So, prior to these rains, that divine revelation had been published in the newspapers Badr and al-Ḥakam. Accordingly, it transpired exactly that way and, on account of heavy rains, many villages were laid waste and that prophecy was fulfilled. But the second part of it—that is, the terrible earthquake—is still awaited. Hence we should await. 169. [ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-NINTH] SIGN-When we were in our garden in the spring of 1905, I had received a revelation concerning one of the people of my Jama'at who was with us in the garden: خدا کا ارادہ ہی نہ تھا کہ اُس کو اچھا کرے مگر فضل سے اپنے ارادہ کو بدل دیا God had not determined to heal that person but He changed His determination out of His Grace. 1. If the first son of Sa'dullah, who was already born before the revelation and is now about 30 years of age, is not impotent, then why has he not been married despite being this old and having the (financial) means? Nor do they seem to be worried about his marriage. This clearly proves that there is something wrong. It is incumbent on Sa'dullāh to repudiate this prophecy, either to produce an offspring in his own house, or prove the man- hood of his son by arranging for him to marry and procreate. But, let him remember, he will never achieve any of these two things. Since the Word of God has called him 'issueless', and it is not possible for the Word of God to be false, he will, no doubt die an issueless man, as has indeed been shown by the present indications.
