The letters containing the Prayer Duel challenge were mailed to all opponents of Ahmadiyyat, foremost being General Zia ul Haq. He was told not to persecute or even accept the challenge because God's destruction would overtake in one year. But, Zia ul Haq persisted in both. The Almighty's wrath seized him as predicted. The Mighty Sign began with the reappearance into public view in Pakistan the maulvi Aslam Qureshi, the very same criminal who made a murderous attack on the grandson of the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad , peace be upon him, but, Alhamdulillah, Sahibzada Mirza Muzaffar Ahmad was saved. Now, after the Mubahela began, Aslam Qureshi returned from his hiding in Iran and openly declared on national television that the mullahs had forced him to vanish himself so that this conspiracy against Huzur could materialize. The second Mighty Sign was the grip of the Invisible lland of the Almighty Allah against the tyrant - the army general who weilded absolute power, sending Ahmadi Muslims to the gal lows, imprisoning so many Ahmadi Muslms that Pakistani prisons were · overcrowded, and unleashing a series of laws that dwarfed the evil genius of l. {obespierre. Allah grippped the man so well, so truly , that even the US, his strongest ally, could not protect him. The President of Pakistan met his total destruction as a resu It of the Mubahela while flying from one army base to another with his most trusted generals, accompanied by the US ambassador. The Supreme Head of the Ahmadiyya Community cabled his sympathies to the General's family. He did not desire his end. Rather, he warned Zia and all opponents not to persecute and falsify. The claim of the truth of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the holy founder of Ahmadiyyat has been established once again by a mighty sign of the Almighty God. All praise to Allah the Lord of all the worlds. 49 Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV with Chicago's Mayor Washington in the latter's office.
