Thirtieth Prophecy 137 disbelievers. And We will make him a Sign by Our mercy and this had indeed been determined from beginning. In this ilh a m, God Almighty foretells that following the death of Lekh Ram, the Hindus will make accusations of murder and will make a scheme to substantiate their accusation. However, [God Almighty declares that] We will make manifest the acquittal of the mulham [recipient of this ilh a m ] and frustrate their scheme. And the mountains of difficulties will be made easy to surmount. It is not necessary now that I should draw anyone’s attention towards the prophecy. Fair-minded people should themselves reflect, and they should not ruin their Hereafter by rejecting such manifestly clear Signs of the unseen. It should also be remembered that there are several reasons for comparing Lekh Ram with a calf in the prophecy. 1. First, just as Samiri’s calf was lifeless, so was Lekh Ram devoid of life as he did not possess the spirit of truth. 2. Second, just as meaningless sounds came from that lifeless calf, similar meaningless sounds came from within him. 3. Third, just as that lifeless calf was destroyed and annihilated on the day of Eid, he too was destroyed and annihilated on one of the days of Eid. 4. Fourth, just as that calf was made from the gold jewellery of the people, in the same way, he too was prepared from the wealth of his people. 5. Fifth, just as that calf became a source of all sorts of wrath and suffering for the slanderous people of that time, likewise, the slanderous worshippers of this calf will suffer the same consequences.
