Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 514 In the entire Holy Quran, these are the main Signs that show the truthfulness of the appointed one. Now, whoever requires faith, must test me according to these five Signs. Who is the Mujaddid of this Century? And then, notice that these people themselves also accept that a Reformer appears at the head of every century, but regretfully, according to their view, no Reformer came at the head of the fourteenth century while a quarter of the century has elapsed, and also thousands of people have apostatised from the faith of Islam. People from every family and every caste have become Christian. There was a time when the apostasy of even one Muslim was akin to doomsday, but now from every caste, the Sayyids, Mughals, Quraish, Pashtuns, and people from every walk of life are present in Christianity, and there is a storm of anthropolatry that has not been seen since the creation of the world. Now tell me, Reformers appeared in those centuries that did not experience such a storm, but in the century in which thousands of means arose to destroy and annihilate Islam, and hundreds of thousands of people became apostates, and irre- ligiousness, impiety, and immorality increased beyond lim- its, and even twenty-five years of the century elapsed, but no Mujaddid [Reformer] appeared within it. And the one who claims to be the Reformer of the century is considered to be a deceiver, a great liar, and a fabricator. These people ought to have witnessed my outcome. I have recorded a hundred and eighty-seven Signs in Haqiqatul-Wahi [ The Philosophy of Divine Revelation ] very briefly. Now they should prove those Signs to be found in some liar.
