MUBAHALAH WITH DOWIE 895 [Footnote related to the previous page] Verily, God Almighty repeatedly informed me of Dowie's death; the number of glad tidings in this regard is quite large. All of them were published in the newspapers named Badr and al-Ḥakam prior to Dowie's death and before he became afflicted with a number of calam- ities. One who is ready to reflect should refer to the aforesaid newspa- pers. Among the revelations mentioned therein is the one that God Almighty revealed to me on 25 December 1902 in the form of a narra- tive. It is as follows: إِنِّى صَادِقٌ صَادِقٌ وَسَيَشْهَدُ اللهُ لِن. I am truthful, truthful; and soon will Allah bear witness for me. Another revelation in this regard is the one that I received on 2 February 1903. It is as follows: سَنُعْلِيْكَ. سَأُكْرِمُكَ إِكْرَامًا عَجَبًا. سُمِعَ الدُّعَاءُ إِنِّي مَعَ الْأَفْوَاجِ أَتِيْكَ بَغْتَةً. دُعَاؤُكَ مُسْتَجَابٌ. We shall exalt you. I shall honour you in a manner that will make people marvel. Supplication has been heard. I shall come to you suddenly with My hosts. Your prayer has been accepted. Then, on 26 November 1903, I received the following revelation: لَكَ الْفَتْحُ وَلَكَ الْغَلَبَةُ. Yours is the victory and you will triumph. Then, I received the following revelation on 17 December 1903: تَرى نَصْرًا مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ. إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوا وَّ الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ مُّحْسِنُوْنَ. You will see the help of Allah. Allah is with those who are right- eous and do their duty to the utmost.
