HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION 694 between myself and Bābū Ṣāḥib, which is mentioned on page 2 and page 7 of the book, Aṣā-e-Mūsā, and elsewhere, shall have its evil con- sequences upon me alone and that I will die and perish in his lifetime, whereas the fact of the matter is that the will of God Almighty mani- fested itself in the opposite manner. And that was not all. On the one hand, Bābū Ṣāḥib died of the plague in my own lifetime, deprived of the fulfilment of every one of his wishes and desires. On the other hand, God blessed me with fruits and success in every way, so much so that I acknowledge my most profound gratitude that so far some 400,000 people have repented from their sins and disbelief at my hands. And God granted me such honour that I became well known with great renown and prestige throughout the world; namely, Europe, Asia, and America. Accordingly, Dr. Dowie, who commanded such honour and prestige as belongs to royalty in America and Europe, God caused him to die in response to my mubahalah [prayer duel] and my prayer, and caused an entire world to incline towards me. This phenomenal event was published by all the leading newspapers of the world and became famous and well known to one and all. And I see that from among those who have taken the bai'at [pledge of allegiance] with me, thou- sands adopted the ways of righteousness and a notable transformation took place in their deeds. Furthermore, from a worldly point of view as well, I was the recipient of great bounties. So far, the servants of God have humbly and courteously offered, 1* and continue to offer: 1. ☆ For instance, consider this Prophecy made twenty-six years ago me, hun- st فَجٌ عَمِيقٍ، يَأْتُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ. يَنْصُرُكَ رِجَالٌ نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ. وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ وَلَا تَسْتَمْ مِّنَ [Help will come to you by every distant track. People will come to you so that the track will become deep due to excessive travel. So many people will come to you that the track on which they travel will become deep. Allah will help you from Himself. Such people will help you whom We shall inspire from Ourself. Be not arrogant towards Allah's creatures and be not tired of receiving visitors. '] Wonderful indeed is grace of God that on the one hand, an old prophecy was fulfilled and on the other hand hundreds of thousands of rupees were received as income and several hundreds of thousands of people became my disciples.
