Some Prophecies of Hazrat Ahmad - A Critical Study — Page 51
i. Hadhrat Ahmadas, God be praised, died on the 26th of May 1908, some two months and ten days before the date specified by Dr. Abdul Hakeem of Patiala in his last prediction against Hadhrat Ahmadas. Yet, some adversaries of Hadhrat Ahmadas have the audacity to assert that Abdul. Hakeem prevailed in his false prophecies against Hadhrat Ahmadas. . Neverthelsss, in the days when this controversy between Hadhrat. Ahmadas and Dr. Abdul Hakeem of Patiala was alive, the adversaries of. Hadhrat Ahmadas were not as unfair and prejudiced as the antagonists of this day and age, at least, not all of them. And hence, the editor of the Paisa. Akhbar of Lahore lamented why Dr. Abdul Hakeem had to change his earlier prediction of Hadhrat Ahmad'sas death within fourteen months of Ist July 1907 to a certain death on the 21st day of. Saavan in the year 1965, that is, the 4th of August, 1908. Had. Dr. Abdul Hakeem left his previous prediction stand, he would have been proved truthful and Hadhrat Ahmad's as credibility would have been damaged beyond repair. . This view of the Paisa Akhbar was shared by many an adversary of. Hadhrat Ahmadas including Maulvi Sanaullah Amritsari of whom mention has been made in one of the preceding chapters of this book. . . Sanaullah was a committed adversary of Hadhrat Ahmadas. As has been shown already, he availed every opportunity to revile Hadhrat Ahmadas and he tried to exploit every available issue against Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam. Ahmadas of Qadian. . Yet, unlike Hadhrat Ahmad's adversaries of this day and age, Sanaullah. Amritsari lamented that Dr Abdul Hakeem of Patiala had been proved a liar and a fabricator. On the death of Hadhrat Ahmadas, Sanaullah referred to Dr Abdul Hakeem's predictions in relation to Hadhrat. Ahmad'sas death and stated: 'Alas! we write these lines with the greatest regrets and a painful heart. . But what else can we do when we must admit the truth? We were indeed, concerned, when we saw that Mirza had published his Will in which he stated that it had been revealed to him that his life was going to end very soon and some people will feel relieved that a certain person has departed from this world. We did not want this to happen so soon, hoping that God Almighty would leave him to flounder in his transgression. ' 51
