B AR Ā H Ī N-E-A H M ADIY YA — PART F IV E 98 that I receive, whose profusion was foretold at a time when I was all alone, their number may perhaps be as high as ten million. But I only count the instances of financial support and those who have pledged allegiance to me, and thus I come to the figure of around one million. No Prophet was ever able to rein in the tongue of an audacious man, but those who are the seekers after truth can understand that twenty-five years ago I was completely unknown. I amounted to noth- ing and did not enjoy any kind of fame, nor did I belong to a renowned family of shrine keepers so that people would be easily drawn towards me. Can this be the work of any man to have given such manifest news of my future success and progress at that time, and then for those tid- ings to have been exactly fulfilled after such a long period? Can it be possible for any liar or impostor to accomplish this? If anyone should first take an impartial look at the time when Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya was written and not yet published, and person- ally come here and investigate for himself in the manner of a judicial investigation to discover what my worth was at that time and the seclu- sion and anonymity in which I was languishing, and how isolated I was—like an abandoned outcast—and then look at how the prophecies made in the conditions of that time have been fulfilled, and deliberate over them with due consideration, he will arrive at such certainty in the truth of those prophecies as if the day has dawned. But why would one who is given to meanness, prejudice, egotism, and arrogance bother to make such an effort? Such a one will instead readily adopt the path of rejection which is rather easy, and exert his utmost to remain deprived of accepting these Signs. زجب لضف دخاودنی ہچ درامےن الضتل را را ق قِسم� �ہ�ی�داتسن ق � وسد ااجعز ے دشخب ہن Aside from the grace of God Almighty, there is no cure for the misguided; Even miracles do not benefit those of ill fortune.
