( 92 ) Manzur Muhammad was his paternal uncle. Below we reproduce the notes in question as published in ‘ Furqan’ , in two columns, to facilitate proper grasp on the part of the reader: The notes in question are from Darsul Quran in 1912. When Maulvi Abdul Mannan Umar published them in the ‘ Furqan ’, he appended the following note: “These words are very clear, and so is their meaning. Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I says the promises given by Allah to the Promised Messiah are being postponed, it appears, on account of some mistakes on the part of some of us. And now, thirty years from today, a promised righteous servant of the Lord would renew and re-invigorate the Movement; and he would be the Manifester of the Second Might and Glory, ( Qudrat-i-Thania ) at whose hands the promises shall come to be fulfilled which Allah had given to his chosen Messiah. And it is the grace and mercy of God that from the time these words were said, just after thirty years, to Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II, Manifester of the Second power and glory, the revealment was made that he was the Muslih Mau’ud in whom these Difference between us and the others. No Mojaddid during the last thirteen hundred years has said that he had received Wahyi. Our Mirza Sahib received both Wahyi and Ilham. Next the word Nabi has not been applied to any any- one. Moreover such clear and remarkable success has not fallen to the share of anyone else. Great Danger Allah gave a promise to Moses that his followers would conquer the Holy land, and that he could go if he liked. But his people disobeyed him, with the result that they had to wander in the wilder- ness for forty years; and during this time Moses passed away. I am afraid Allah had given a similar promise to Hazrat Sahib (Promised Messiah) of which destined fulfilment is being delayed by your inappropriate deeds. Note After thirty years, insha Allah , I hope the Mojad- did , i. e. , the Mau’ud … Qudrat-i-Thania would appear. Note A small impertinence of the Ansar, impelled the Holy Prophet Mohammad to say that to the moment of the Qiyama , they would never be favoured with an opportunity to rule over others. You too are becoming insolent.
