The Miracle of Ahmad — Page 16
16 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD establish that Ātham recanted from declaring the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, as dajjal. They avoid mentioning all of the facts and try to conceal them altogether. What is more, when they speak of the son-in-law of Ahmad Baig, they never tell the people that a part of the prophecy has already been fulfilled within the stipulated period; i. e. Ahmad Baig died within the given time-frame and that the second part of the prophecy awaits fulfilment. They also withhold the fact that it was a prophecy of waid [warning] and was subject to certain conditions as is evident from the revelation: توبى توبى فإن البلاء على عقبك Repent, repent for misfortune is about to befall your progeny. Which had been published a number of times. It was obviously natural to be overcome by fear after witnessing a death like that of Ahmad Baig, and it was this fear that caused the deferment of the fulfilment of the second part of the prophecy. For indeed such is divine practice regarding the prophecies of waid. However, the malicious opponents of mine never mention these facts; instead, like the Jews they distort facts and make speeches that create doubts in the hearts of ignorant people. They have indeed put to shame even the Jews by being guilty of fabrication in every mat- ter, just as Maulawi Sanaullah did during the debate at Mudh. He deceived the people by saying that I had written in one of my prophecies that a boy would be born to me; however, only a girl was born after whom a boy was born who died, and, therefore, the prophecy turned out to be false.
