With Love to Muhammad (sa) - The Khatam-un-Nabiyyin — Page 350
350 With Love to Muhammad sa the Kh ā tam-un-Nabiyy ī n and its branches spread far and wide and it has now grown so big that thousands of birds are resting upon it?! [ Nuz ū l-ul-Mas ī h , R ū h ā n ī Khaz ā ’in, Volume 18, Pages 379-384] The following prophecy is mentioned in Br ā h ī n-e-Ahmadiyya : َ ﻳُﺮِﻳْﺪُوْن َ اﻟْﻜٰﻔِﺮُوْن َ ﻛَﺮِﻩ ْ وَﻟَﻮ ٖ ﻧُﻮْرِﻩ ُِّ ﻣُمت ُّٰ وَاهلل ْ ابَِﻓْﻮَاﻫِﻬِﻢ ِّٰ اهلل َ ﻧُﻮْر ﻟِﻴُﻄْﻔِـُٔـﻮْا This means that the opponents will desire to extinguish the Light of All ā h with the breath of their mouths, but All ā h will perfect His Light even though the disbelievers hate it. This prophecy dates back to the time when I had no opponents, in fact, no one even knew my name. Then, in accordance with the prophecy, I became known in the world with honor and respect and thousands accepted me. This was followed by fierce opposition. People of Mecca were told misleading things about me and an edict of disbelief regarding me was acquired from Mecca. A universal cry of heresy was raised against me, edicts were issued urging my assassination, the authorities were provoked against me, and the common people were alienated from me and my Jam ā ‘at. In short, every effort was made to destroy me. But, in keeping with the Divine prophecy, all the maulav ī s and their ilk completely failed in their efforts. How blind are my opponents, for they do not see the grandeur of these prophecies: they do not realize how far back these prophecies were made, and with what majesty they have been fulfilled! Can this be the work of anyone but God Himself? If it can, then please come forward with a precedent. Do they not realize that had this been the work of man and against the Will of God, they would not have been frustrated in their efforts?
