750 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION ☆ 205. SIGN NUMBER TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE-Again, another person named Abul-Ḥasan,¹ wrote a book titled Bijli Āsmānī Bar Sar-e-Dajjal-e-Qadiānī [i. e. , 'Heavenly Lightning on the Head of the Dajjal of Qadian'] in refutation of my claim. In numerous places the book contains a prayer against the one who lied. Imagining my death, he wrote in a dirge chorus as if I had died and he was writing the dirge after my supposed death. The end result was that this Maulawi himself died from the plague after the publication of the book. Again, another person, named Abul-Ḥasan ‘Abdul-Karīm published the 1. His name is Muḥammad Jän, alias Maulawi Muḥammad Abul-Hasan, compiler of a commentary of Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhāri known as Faiḍul-Bārī, resident of Panj Garaiń, Tehsil Pasrur, District Sialkot. He was quite well known in this district. On page 3, lines 17-18, of his book Bijlī Āsmānī, he says in the form of a couplet: 'I pray that God Almighty may uproot the Mirza totally so that nothing remains of him and he dies. Then on page 100, line 15 of this book, promising to bring out the second part of his book, (Bijlī Āsmānī), he نبیاں تائیں اس متنبی لائیاں بڑیاں سلاں. دو جے حصے اندر دیکھیں میریاں writes this couplet about me [meaning that, this false prophet has undermined the dignity of true Prophets; in the second part of the book you will read about my reply to him]. But, this poor, unfortunate Maulawi had not yet finished the sec- ond part of his book Bijlī Āsmānī, when he was hit by another kind of light- ning: 'the lightning of the plague. For nineteen days he remained at death's door. Eventually, he died an agonizing death. Thus, on page 100, line 19, this توبہ کر جلدی اے محمد موت نیڑے ہے آئی. آج کل Maulawi prophesies against me writing ,Meaning: Hasten to repent مر دنیا توں غافل ہونا ہے توں راہی. for your death is nigh, O heedless one! You will die in a day or two and depart from this world. Perhaps it was a revelation or a dream of the Maulawi Ṣāḥib, but two years ago he himself died of the plague. The eyewitnesses report that he continued to suffer from the plague for as long as nineteen days. He kept screaming and died an extremely painful death. Then on page 107 of the same book, Bijlī Asmāni, Maulawi Ṣāḥib writes the following couplets by way of prophecy: مرزا مویا خوشیوں مینوں راتیں نیند نہ آئی مرزا گذر گیا. مرزا مویا بے شک جانو میں ہن نصرت پائی مرزا گذر گیا. Meaning that, without doubt, Mirza will die and I will be victorious. Again on page 107, he writes a couplet to the effect that I had prophesied the spread of the plague, which proved false. What the Maulawī Ṣāḥib did not know was that he himself would die of that very plague. Strange are the ways of God Almighty's providence in that he himself was targeted by heavenly lightning. (Author)
