142 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and shown a manifestation of both. By virtue of the divine attribute known as Majesty, there is the plague and other such manifestations of the punishment of Allah Almighty. These are clear for all to witness. Then, as an expression of divine Beauty, there are God’s bounties and promises of glad tiding for the present era. Furthermore, in my understanding, Allah the Exalted has foretold another form of union in connection to me—and God has informed me of this—that I was born with a twin sister. Moreover, there is a joining of nation and lineage as well in that one of my paternal grandmothers was a Syedah and my paternal grandfather was of Persian descent. Even at pre - sent, God has maintained this phenomenon of conjunction in my home, because a Syedah of pure descent is married to me, just as God had given glad tidings long ago. Now reflect over the many conjunctions that God has ordained in my rela - tion. It is due to great wisdom that God has brought together all of these various conjunctions in this era. The Promised Messiah is the Just Arbiter As far as my community is concerned, it is most disrespectful for them to present such issues or even to entertain such doubts. I truthfully proclaim that whatever I do, I do on the guidance and instruction of God Almighty. Why then, should He not be given precedence over all else? Why is the prophecy not given its due honour after it has been understood, just as Hazrat Umar ra understood the prophecy of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and then instructed a companion to wear bangles of gold. Now tell me, what more do you want? God has brought together so many signs for you. If one believes in God Almighty, such notions and doubts cannot arise which reek of criticism. If, even after witnessing so many signs a person raises allegations and wishes to break away, they are welcome to leave and separate themselves. What does God care about such a person; they will not be able to find a place anywhere else. When God Almighty has appointed me as the Just Arbiter and you have accepted, then to make me the target of objection is a sign of weak faith. After accepting me as the Arbiter, everyone should seal their lips. If you are concerned on account of our opponents, then what have they not already said in the past? They have called me the Antichrist, faithless, disbeliever, they have even called me the greatest of disbelievers. There is no profanity they have not hurled at me; no mischievous plot or scheme to inflict grief upon me which they have not conceived.
