EPILOGUE-SIGNS 609 As I have already written, this man died one year and three months after the publication of his book. Now every wise person can ponder that a mubahalah is the method in Islam to obtain a decisive verdict on an issue. Thus, when Hakim Hafız Muhammad Din labelled me an impostor in this book of his and assigned me the appellation اقاك اثيم ['the sinful liar'], and then again on page 63 of his book, he wrote the following verse applying it to me 2. ثُمَّ يُصِرُّ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَأَنْ لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيْمٍ meaning: 'Curse be upon the sin- ful impostor who hears the verses of God and, out of arrogance, insists Muhammad upon denying them as if he heard nothing. Thus, warn him of a painful chastisement. ' وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ يَسْمَعُ أَيْتِ اللَّهِ تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ. * Therefore, by writing these verses, this man named Muhammad Din means to imply that I am أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ ]the sinful liar] and that in his lifetime I shall indeed be chastised through a painful punishment. On the contrary, Allah the Exalted delivered the verdict on who the sinful liar is through his death. 7. SEVENTH SIGN [196]—On the morning of 28 February 1907, I received the following revelation: سخت زلزلہ آیا اور آج بارش بھی ہوگی خوش آمدی نیک آمدی A severe earthquake came and it will also rain today. Your arrival is a source of joy; your arrival is a source of blessing. This prophecy was announced to the Community early in the morning. There was no sign of rain at the time the prophecy was announced and there was not even a trace of clouds in the sky. The sun was shining Verses as quoted by Hakim Hafiz Din 1. This word of the Quranic verse has been written incorrectly by this man on account of his lack of knowledge of the Holy Quran. The correct reading is (Author) يَسْمَعُ أَيْتِ اللهِ تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ 2. Sūrah al-Jathiyah, 45:8-9 [Publisher]
