Number Four 167 Faith] right at the head of the century and named him the Promised Messiah, even then most of the Muslims have not accepted him. This was the work of God which took place right at the precise time of need, and the heavens bore witness to its truth, and many other Signs were manifested. Instead, they called him a k a fir [disbeliever], a dajj a l [deceiver], faithless, treacherous, an embezzler, liar, perjurer, money-minded, unjust, person who raises an objection against the prophecy concerning A tham or the prophecy concerning the son-in-law of Ahmad Baig, has he for- gotten the prophecy regarding Hudaibiyyah, where the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be on him, confidently undertook the journey to Makkah with a large army. And do they not remember the forty days prophecy of Prophet Jonah? How sad that due to their deni- al [of my truth], they also insulted the prophecy of Maulaw i Abdullah Ghaznavi regarding a ‘light descending on Qadian, and that heavenly light being Mirza Ghulam Ahmad s as of whom his progeny was deprived. ’ (Progeny also includes disciples. ) And then, given that there are not one but four prophecies of death: (1) Concerning A tham; (2) Concerning Lekh Ram; (3) Concerning Ahmad Baig; and (4) Concerning the son- in-law of Ahmad Baig; and from these four, three have died and one remains—about whom the prophecy was conditional as was condition- al [the prophecy] regarding A tham. Now to create a furore again and again as to why the fourth one is not being fulfilled promptly, and then citing this as the reason to reject all the other prophecies—is this the work of those who fear God? O prejudiced people! Who taught you to tell so many lies? Arrange a meeting, for example, in Batala, clear your minds of all Satanic thought, and listen to my speech. I shall admit I am a false person if it is proven that even one of my one hundred prophecies was false. But if you want to continue fighting God regardless, then wait and see what your end will be.
