Truth has Come—A Prophecy regarding Lekh Ram of Peshawar 31 and shall be quite willing to be hanged. Notwithstanding this willingness on my part, a man cannot face a greater humiliation than to be proven false in his prophecy. What more can I say? Be it clear that this man is guilty of showing such rank disre- spect to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, that one shudders at the thought of it. His books are filled with a shocking variety of insult, sacrilege, and abuse. Who among the Muslims can listen to anything from these books with- out his heart being torn to pieces? Besides being insolent and spiteful, he is grossly ignorant. He does not even have a nodding acquaintance with Arabic, nor the potential for writing refined Urdu. This prophecy is not a matter of chance. On the contrary, I prayed specifically for this purpose and received the foregoing answer. This prophecy is a Sign for the Muslims as well. Would but they realize the truth and their hearts soften! I now conclude in the name of the Glorious God in whose name I had begun. ی َ ٍ الْمُصْطَف د َّ ٰ رَسُولِه ِ مُحَم ی َ اَلَم ُ عَل َّ اَلَة ُ وَالس َّ ِِّٰ وَالص ہّٰلل ُ ِ وَالْحَمْد مَاء َّ َرْض ِ وَالس ْأ اَل ُل ِّ مَا فِي ا ک ِ سُل ِ وَخَيْر ِ الْوَرَى ٰ سَيِّدِنَا وَسَيِّد ُّ أَفْضَل ِ الر [All praise belongs to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, Muhammad, the Chosen One, the Best of all the Messengers, and indeed the Best of all creations, our master and the chief of all that is in the heavens and the earth].
