EPILOGUE-SIGNS إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْاَ بْتَرُ 551 [It is not you but your slanderer who shall be issueless. ] And the membership of my Jama'at increased to more than 300,000 and hundreds of thousands of rupees poured in and many Christians and Hindus became Muslims through my preaching. Is this not, then, a Sign? Has this prophecy not been fulfilled? To allege that Sa'dullah's son is now engaged to 'Abdur-Raḥīm's daughter and will soon be mar- ried and that children will be born, is wishful thinking and is just idle talk which is worth a laugh. And the answer to this also is that the promises of God can never remain unfulfilled. This point should be made after marriage takes place and a child is born too. As of now, integrity demands that they should ponder seriously how this prophecy which Allah the Exalted manifested through me has been fulfilled in the same manner as the prophecy: إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْاَبْتَرُ made by the Holy Quran, was fulfilled. As I have already stated, twelve years ago, God revealed to me about him that: 1. This wish is quite like that of 'Abdul-Haqq Ghaznavi / Amritsarī, when af- ter the mubahalah, spelling out its effect on his own person, he had said, 'My brother has died, I have married his widow. She is now pregnant and will give birth to a son and it would be considered the effect of the mubahalah. ' But the end result of that pregnancy was that nothing was born; and despite the passage of as many as : fourteen years, he continues to be condemned to lead a life of frustration and humiliation. In contrast, after the mubahalah, I have been blessed with the birth of a number of sons, and hundreds of thousands of people have sworn allegiance to me, and hundreds of thousands of rupees have poured in, and my fame has reached the ends of the world with honour, and most of my enemies died after the mubahalah and thousands of heavenly Signs were manifested at my hands.
