PR E FAC E TO B AR Ā H Ī N-E-A H M ADIY YA , PART F IV E 9 it clear to His servants that this endeavour is in keeping with His Will, and that all these revelations which have been written in the earlier parts of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya were indeed from Him and not from any human being. Had this book not been in accord with the will of God Almighty and had all these revelations not been from Him, it would have been contrary to the practice of the Just and Holy God that a man who, according to Him, is an impostor and has sinned by making fabrications and calling them revelations from Allah and the revealed word of God, should be spared for twenty-three years so that he may complete—up to the extent that Allah may please—the remaining part of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya; and not only that, but that God should also do him the favour of bringing into existence from Himself factors which were necessary for its completion that were also beyond human control. It goes without saying that God Almighty does not treat a per- son whom He knows to be an impostor with such kindness and favour. Thus, the extent of this delay and postponement also caused the Sign of Allah’s help and succour in my favour to be manifested. During this long period, many who called me a k a fir [disbeliever], a dajj a l [deceiver], and a kazz a b [liar]; considered me to be outside the pale of Islam; and cursed me by way of mub a halah [prayer duel], passed away from this world, but God kept me alive and helped me to such an extent that—not to talk of liars—there must be very few true and righteous people who received such divine help. This, therefore, is a manifestly clear Sign of God, but only for those who do not shut their eyes and are ready to accept the Signs of God Almighty. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as of Qadian, The Promised Messiah ٭
