A Conclusive Argument in Favour of Islam — Page 25
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 30 Here, I would like to ask you that when I claimed to be the recipient of divine revelation and to have been commissioned by Allah, Mirza Imam ud Din, with whom you are well acquainted, demanded a sign from me in an announcement published against me in Chashma-e-Nur, Amritsar, in 1888. At that time, in order to show him a sign, a prophecy was given which was published in Nur Afshan on 10 May 1888; the detailed account is also found within the same newspaper and also in my book A’ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam, on pages 279 280. This prophecy was fulfilled on 30 September 1892, within the given time. Thus, I ask you, as a test of your sense of justice, whether or not this is a sign? If in your opinion it is not, then why? If it is a sign, and you have also witnessed its fulfil ment, and it has not only been published in Nur Afshan on 10 May 1888, but also in my announcement issued on 10 July 1888, long before it came to pass, then please do tell whether it is obligatory upon you or not to ben efit from this sign and correct your error? Please do also inform me as to how you have changed your ways and to what extent you have forsaken the Christian doctrine? For this sign is not something of the past; in fact, it is very recent. It was published in Nur Afshan and in my announcement of 10 July 1888.
