Hearken, this tribulation is from God so that He might love you with perfect love; the love of God, the Mighty, the Lord of honour, a bounty without end. [Arabic] Two goats 134 will be slaughtered and there is no one on the earth who can avoid death. That is, everyone has to submit to divine decrees and no one can escape death… [Arabic] And slacken not, and be not grieved. Is not Allah sufficient for His servant? Know you not that Allah has power over all things? God shall call you as a witness against these people. Almighty revealed this prophecy. Anyone endowed with even minimal reason and intelligence should reflect whether it is within human power of mine or of anyone else to know, on the basis of intellectual conjectures, twelve years in advance, a storm, the fierceness of which would carry away a person like Maulav i Muhammad H usain—who professed such sincerity towards me—into such great error and along with him a person like Miy a ń N a dh i r H usain who had said that no book like the Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah had been published in the history of Islam. Indeed this is purely God’s knowledge [of the Unseen] which is termed a miracle. [Tu h h h h fah-e-Golarhviyyah, p. 75, R u h a n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 17, pp. 215–216] 134 This prophecy was fulfilled with the martyrdom of Maul a n a Sayyed ‘Abdul-La ti f of Kabul and Maulav i ‘Abdur-Ra h m a n of Kabul (May Allah be pleased with them both).
