This was recorded seven- teen years ago, before my claim of being the Promised Messiah, in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya so that God may put to shame those who consider the claim of this humble one to be a fabrication of man. Bar a h i n [ -e-Ahmadiyya ] itself bears witness that at that time this humble one had no idea of himself being the Promised Messiah as I, too, shared the same previous beliefs.
