116 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Fatihah: 1 ْ ُم َِْيِْه ُل َ ِع َ ِت ْ َم َ ُع ْ َّن َ ا َ ُن ْ ُي ِ ِّذ َ ْل ِصَِرَا َطَ ا The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings. In these words a prophecy has been made about the Promised Messiah. Then in the very same chapter, two groups of people are mentioned: those who have incurred divine displeasure (maghdub) and those who have gone astray (dal - leen). In mentioning these two classes, we have been told that when the Promised Messiah appears, a nation will oppose him who will incur the wrath of God and follow in the footsteps of the evil Jews of the past. By mentioning those who have gone astray, an indication is made that the Promised Messiah will appear to kill the Antichrist and break the cross. For it is accepted that ‘those who have incurred divine displeasure’ refers to the Jews and ‘those who have gone astray’ refers to the Christians. Towards the end of the Holy Quran there is also mention of Satan, who is the real Antichrist. Moreover, in the verse of Surah Nur regarding successorship, there is a prophecy about the Promised Messiah, who is the Seal of the Caliphs. Furthermore, in Surah Tahrim it is clearly mentioned that a Messiah will appear in the Muslim ummah as well, because when the believers are likened to Mary, there ought to be at least one person from the Muslim community who possesses the qualities of Mary and in turn gives birth to the Messiah when the spirit is breathed into them. So when the spirit is breathed into that believer, they will themselves become the Messiah. 2 The manifestation of these prophecies in the form of my community are no insignificant matter. This community is the fulfilment of a grand prophecy, uttered from the lips of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 1300 years ago. To give this news so long ago cannot be attributed to physi - ognomy or guesswork. Furthermore, this prophecy is not by itself, it is accom - panied by thousands of other hallmarks and signs, which had been foretold in respect of this age. As a matter of fact, in addition to all this, Allah the Exalted has Himself shown a stream of signs numbering in the thousands through me. Accordingly, hundreds of prophecies have already been fulfilled, which were published in advance throughout the country and then fulfilled at their appoint - ed time. Our opponents know this as well.
