LEKH RĀM. Let it be clear that among the awe-inspiring and majestic signs is the sign of Pundit Lekh Rām's death. . My books, Barakāt-ud-Du'ā, Karāmāt-us-Ṣādiqin, and A'ina-e-Kamālāt-e-Islam are the basic sources of this prophecy. It was foretold that within six years. Lekh Rām would depart from this world as a result of an assassination, and that the day of his assassination would be the very next day after Eid, and this would be a Saturday. Thus it was decreed that the Eid should be on Friday and, just as this signifies two Eids for the Muslims, the following day would bring two kinds of mourning for the house of the Aryas. This prophecy is not only recorded in my books, but Lekh. Rām himself quoted it in his book and, thereby, made it known to his own community prior to its fulfilment. . In response to this prophecy, he wrote in his book concerning me, “My Parmeshwar has revealed to me that this man (meaning myself) will die of cholera within three years, for he is a liar. . . ". I had prophesied that Lekh Rām would be cut to pieces like the calf of Sāmirī," and this hinted at the fact that the fate of Lekh Rām would be like the calf of Samirī that was smashed to pieces on a Saturday. . And it also alluded to the fact that he would be assas20 Sāmirī: The man who led the Israelites into calf-worship. 69 [Publisher]
