The Miracle of Ahmad — Page 5
THE MIRACLE OF AHMAD 5 crying and weeping not establish that a terrible fear had gripped his heart? Does his aversion to taking an oath while he had been offered a sum of four thousand rupees for this purpose-and while it had been proved to him that the Christian faith allowed the tak- ing of oath and that the Messiah himself took an oath and so did Paul-not establish that he had become frightened? Has it still not been established that he recanted the word he had spoken, i. e. dajjal? What is more, who can prove that he ever labelled the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, as dajjāl after this, during the time-frame given for the fulfilment of the prophecy? Besides, did he not die in my lifetime just as the prophecy said: کاذب صادق کی زندگی میں مر جائے گا۔ The liar will die within the lifetime of the one who is truthful. So, show me where Ātham is today if the prophecy has not been fulfilled. He was as old as I was, i. e. about sixty-four years. If you have any doubt about this, you may take a look at his pension doc- uments lying in the government offices to confirm at what time and age he began to receive his pension. If the prophecy was not true, why did he die earlier than me? May God's curse be on those people who tell lies! When a person has become shameless, he may blabber as he likes, as no one can hold him back. Consider the prophecy about Lekhrām, wherein it was stated clearly that he would be murdered within six years on a day next to the day of Eid. How manifestly was that prophecy fulfilled!
