This is in accordance with the prophecy mentioned in Izāla Auhām. حكم الله الرحمن لخليفة الله السلطان سيؤتي له الملك العظيم The prophecy relates to me and it means: 'The Vicegerent of Allah! The monarch who will be given a great kingdom and the treasures of the earth will be thrown open for him. 31 And I will place those who follow thee above those who deny thee until the Day of Resurrection.
