Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya Part IV — Page 441
About Myself and My Book In the beginning, when I wrote this book, the situation was very different from now. Thereafter, the sudden manifestation of the provi- dence of Allah [the Almighty] made me, the humblest of men, aware— like M u s a [Moses]—of a world which I was totally unaware of before. In other words, this humble one was also wandering, like Hadrat Ibn- e-Imran, in the dark night of my own ideas during which I once heard the voice from the unseen, َ ی ْ اَنَا رَبُّك ِّ اِن [‘Verily, I am your Lord’], and such mysteries were then revealed [to me] as were beyond the reach of rea- son and imagination. Therefore, the Lord of all the worlds is now the Guardian and Manager of this book, both manifestly and intrinsically. I have no knowledge of His will as to its size and volume. The reality is that the extent to which the blessings of the divine origin of Islam have been manifested up to Part IV is sufficient as conclusive arguments. I hope that with His grace and munificence, He will continue to grace me with His support from the unseen until He totally dissipates the darkness of doubts and suspicions. Although my humble self is not sure about my own life, I am extremely glad that the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining, who is free from destruction and death, is the Supporter of the religion of Islam until the Day of Judgment and that His grace upon Kh a tamul- Anbiy a ’ [the Seal of the Prophets], may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is such as has never been bestowed upon any Prophet before.
