Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya Part V — Page 544
NU S R AT U L- H AQ Q — HE L P OF G OD 544 unfolding of all the events that were like a commentary for the first four parts. And those events were to be the subject matter of the fifth part. And when the twenty-fourth year of the deferment dawned, the breeze of divine favour shed light from every perspective on all matters that were hidden and veiled in the previous parts of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya. On the one hand, the prophecies whose fulfilment was awaited were fulfilled to a large extent.

Anyone who reads this fifth part will be forced to admit that if this part had been written before these prophecies and other mysteries unfolded, it could not have served as the mirror to reflect the truth of the previous parts; rather, it would have been disjointed and disconnected.
