Some Prophecies of Hazrat Ahmad - A Critical Study — Page 50
surpassed all limits. At one stage, in his helplessness, Dr. Abdul Hakim of. Patiala supplicated God to hurry the destruction of Hadhrat Ahmadas. . Consequently, stated Dr Abdul Hakeem of Patiala, 'God annuled the prediction of Hadhrat Ahmad'sas death before 4th August, 1908. '17. The snare in which God Almighty proposed to trap and consequently confound the enemies of Hadhrat Ahmadas was drawing Abdul Hakeem nearer to its jaws. Abdul Hakeem of Patiala issued his next prediction in relation to Hadhrat Ahmad'sas death. In a letter dated 8th of May, 1908, sent to the editors of the Indian periodicals, Paisa Akhbar of Lahore and Ahle Hadees of Amritsar, Dr. Abdul Hakeem stated: 'I shall be grateful if you would publish my latest revelations concerning the death of Mirza. 1. The said Mirza will die of a fatal disease on the 21st day of Saavan in the year 1965, [that is, 4th August, 1908] 2. An important woman from the family of Mirza will also die with him. '18. This last revelation by Abdul Hakeem, which mentioned a specific date for the death of Hadhrat Ahmadas was in itself a snare woven by Dr. . Abdul Hakeem's own profanity and falsehood. All praise be to God. Almighty who confuses the enemies of truth and ensnares them in traps of their own making. Hadhrat Ahmadas could now, with dignity, end his sojourn in this transient world, in strict accordance with the predestined will of God Almighty, as publicised by Hadhrat Ahmadas himself, in. December of 1905. 19. Dr. Abdul Hakeem of Patiala had now predicted a specific date for. Hadhrat Ahmad'sas death. Hence, there seemed no further need for God. Almighty to extend the lease of Hadhrat Ahmad's as life which He had proposed and promised so as to confound his enemies,' since the date He had already determined for the death of His apostle varied from the precise date, that is, the 4th of August, 1908, specified by Abdul. Hakeem in his false prediction. This in itself, was sufficient enough to confound the enemy who, as events which transpired later, was proved to be a liar and a fabricator. 17.
