Kabul Witnesses a Sign — Page 1

KABUL WITNESSES A NEW SIGN The land of Kabul possesses this unique disHnction that jt has seen God's great and mighty signs being· fulfilled in quick succession. With the possible exception of India, no other country has so frequently been mentioned and referred to in thei revelations which God caused to be proclaimed in the world through His Messenger and £rophet, the Promised Messiah. The Promised Messiah had not yet claimed to be a Mujaddi(t (reformer) when God infouned him beforehand by means of a revelation, l!Jlsi. ~;;; 1:. -!Ul! (two lambs shall be slaughtered), of the two cruel and wholly \mjustifiable murders that were to be perpetrated in Kabul v. iz. (l) the mui:de·r of Maulvi Abdur Rahman, a 'faithful and beloved disciple of Shahzada Abdul Latif and later on that of the Shahzada Sahib himself. When this great prophecy saw its marvellous fulfilment in 1903, the Promised Messiah was told by means of another divine revelation that three more of his followers would be killed in Kabul. The revelation embodying this prophecy was pub· lished on January 1, 1906 and ran as followes: ~~g_ E~. . . . _. f~ ~~ i. e. , 'three lambs shall be slaughtered'. This revelation was literally fulfilled in 1924 when, as a result of the -renewed persecution to which the Ahmadis became subjected in the reign of the ex-King Amanullah Khan, first Maulvi Niamat Ullah Khan, an Ahmadi preacher was mercilessly stoned to death by the orders of Amanullah Khan for no other fault than that he was an Ahmadi and preached Ahmadiyya doctrines and teachings peacefully, and a few weeks later Maulvi Abdul Halim and Mullah Nur Ali met their deaths in the s. ame way and in ·consequence of the same "crime. " It is very significant that these martyrs have been called 'lambs' in the revelations. The lamb being quite a harmless animal, the revelations point to the fact that the murders of these harmless and innocent persons would be entirely unjust and cruel and they would be sacrificed at the altar of truth -and righteousnessL
