Fifteenth [Prophecy] 99 Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya is placed in front of the most bigoted Muslim, Christian, or Hindu, and the places are shown where these three disturbances are mentioned, he should be questioned under oath whether they actually happened or not, and whether they were recorded or not as prophecies in the book Bar a h i n-e- Ahmadiyya. And do these three events that have taken place in such a grand fashion not point out that one mischief was indeed caused by the Christians in which hundreds of thousands of peo- ple raised an uproar and parties of men went zealously around the bazaars carrying out processions? Was not the second mischief carried out by Muhammad Husain Batalavi, who turned the Muslims against my humble self in such a destructive manner? He separated brothers from broth- ers, fathers from sons, friends from friends and severed all rela- tionships. Did not the third mischief take place at the time of Lekh Ram’s death through the Hindus out of sheer envy due to the manifestation of the heavenly Sign? As a result of this mischief, several innocent children were killed, approximately forty people were poisoned in Rawalpindi, and I was threatened with an assas- sination and efforts were made to incite the Government—and no one knows what they will do in the future! 1 ٭ Now tell me, is it not true that the three tribulations have indeed been manifested just as they had been explained so clearly and in so much detail in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya? Can: 1. Muhammad Husain of Batala; or 2. Syed Ahmad Khan, KCSI; or 3. Na zi r H usain of Delhi; or 4. Abdul Jabb a r Ghaznavi; or 5. Rash i d Ahmad Gangohi; or 6. Muhammad Bash i r Bhopali; or 7.
