151 Specimen of Writing The reason of writing this book is that even after issuing four leaflet, a simple fact is not yet clear to Christian missionaries. My prophecy about ‘Abdull a h A tham had been fulfilled. It is unfortunate that Christian missionaries did not carefully read these leaflets and still using misleading language and repeatedly stressing the absurd claim that the Prophecy did not fulfill. But we have fulfilled the obligation that we had, that is, had A tham not recognized the truth, which was the integral condition of the prophecy (as it is claimed), then he is invited to take an oath in public meeting that he did not recoil and get his reward of four thousand rupees. But A tham Sahib has refused to take an oath. His claim is that his religion did not allow him to take the oath. This is based on pure fabrication and lie. His elders have always taken oath.

But instead of adopting this course, they had come out in open using abusive language and they advanced this lame excuse that A tham Sahib did not accept Islam openly. But, any fair minded person could
