A SHINING SIGN—SIGN NUMBER 198 723 was on clearly fulfilled because he desired my death by plague and this account that he had published the revelation. So, in the end, he himself died of the plague. Bābū's friends should pause and think here: Are these indeed the revelations that he was supposed to remain alive to see the fulfilment of? Then on page 124 of his book, Aṣā-e-Müsā, Bābū writes the following: Just consider if opposition to the Imam is so dangerous even to the one whom the Merciful and Benevolent is kind enough to bless with such revelations, then why should he be the recipient of such revelations at all?

Thus, if such a person perishes, he perishes on account of his own insolence, because he turned away without any proof from that which was clearly proven! Since no evidence was available to the Bābū―neither the act of God nor any
