At any rate, this pamphlet will be found interesting and instructive by those, who sincerely seek the truth and a reply to the questions: • Is there a God? • If so, does He reveal future events to His elite? I have answered these questions by fully explaining such reasons as conclusively as possible that the prophecy about Pandit Lekh Ram was actually revealed by God and that it was altogether out of the province of man’s capabilities and devices to devise his murder. I have repeatedly said that Pandit Lekh Ram had challenged me to make the prophecy concerning himself which, if fulfilled, was to be the sole criterion of the truth or falsehood of Islam and the A ryah faith, and when the prophecy was made, both the parties agreed to give it a wide publicity and awaited its result most anxiously. At last, it has been most clearly and definitely fulfilled. The most curious phase of the prophecy which has been thoroughly discussed in these pages is that it was published in clear and unequivocal words in the Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah about 17 years ago when Pandit Lekh Ram was a boy of 12 or 13 years. The readers of this pamphlet must carefully consider this fact which, I believe, will improve their faculty of discernment and clearly show them the difference between the Divine and human prowess and satisfy their minds.
