CHAPTER TWELVE. FULFILMENT OF PROPHECIES. While Abdul Hafeez alleges that every one of Hadhrat Mirza. Ghulam Ahmad's as prophecies proved to be wrong, he alludes to only three which, in his opinion, were not fulfilled and allegedly proved to be wrong. However, before one proceeds to discuss these specific prophecies, it may be pertinent to discuss the essential rules which govern the fulfilment of Divine revelations vouchsafed to God Almighty's apostles. . It is a recorded fact of the history of religion that Divine messages have, at times, deluded persons of even the highest stature and calibre. According to the testimony of the Holy. Quran, even Messengers of God Almighty are known to have often understood differently, the true purport of His divine will which had been revealed unto them. If Abdul Hafeez wishes to contest this statement, then one would ask him if he is not aware of the prophecy regarding Hadhrat Muhammad's sa intention to perform Hajj on the basis of a vision which ended with the signing of the Treaty of Hudaibiyya. What, may one ask him, happened there?. Hadeeth literature indicates that on the authority of a Divine vision, Hadhrat Muhammad prepared his Companions for the journey to perform the circuit of the Ka'aba at Mecca. But, they were denied access to the consecrated precinct by the Meccan infidels and a treaty was eventually signed at Hudaibiyya under the terms of which Muslims agreed to return to Medina without performing the sanctified rites which Hadhrat Muhammad sa had understood to have been indicated in his vision. 1.
