Incidentally, Hadhrat Jonahas was a man of great piety and intense faith. He realised his error of misunderstanding the ultimate will of God and hence, he sought forgiveness as a result of which he was delivered from further distress. 21 However, had the critics of Hadhrat Ahmadas been in Hadhrat Jonah'sas shoes, they would most certainly have tarried in the belly of the fish until Doomsday since it is unlikely that they would have realised their mistake and sought forgiveness for their own misunderstanding of God's ways. . These few instances from the recorded history of religion should suffice to establish the fact that the question of the fulfilment of Divine prophecies ought to be studied with great caution. It is however, ironic, that while discussing the prophecies vouchsafed to Hadhrat Ahmadas, which are also subject to the same Divine rules as have been discussed, Hadhrat. Ahmad'sas adversaries fail to demonstrate the integrity which is demanded of, not only a believer but also expected of an ordinary man of truth. 21. Al Quran 21. 89 9
