Astonishing Evidence of the Act of Retribution None of these events were accidental or coincidental. In fact, before his martyrdom Hadhrat Sahibzada Abdul Lateef (MAPH) had foretold these events and these came to pass one by one. It should be mentioned that Nasrulla Khan did not die a natural death either. He was strangled in exactly the same way as he had ordered Hadhrat Moulvi Abdur Rahman to be strangled. Whilst doctor Abdul Ghani was in prison his wife died in Landi Kotal and his son Abdul Jabbar was struck down and decapitated in a bazaar in Kabul. During his term of imprisonment Abdul Ghani was tortured so much that when he emerged after eleven years he had completely lost his rationality. Of his two sons, one was murdered and the other became a tonga driver in Gujrat. Being unable to show his face in public the doctor just seemed to disappear from the face of the earth and it was in this state that he died. The assassination of Ameer Habeebulla was obviously a direct consequence of his close connection with the stoning to death of the Martyr. Further, in the revolution that followed his death the rebellious tribes stoned his burial place. Hence, his grave became a mound of stones. Such an event had never occurred before. Evidently the Almighty wished to show that as a consequence of his having a sage killed he would not only lose his status and position but would also suffer the punishment foretold by the Promised Messiah (PBUH) in his book 'Tazkira-tush- Shahadatain'. Addressing the land of Kabul the Promised Messiah had written, "Y ou are most unfortunate. In the eyes of God you have been degraded. II 11
