POSTSCRIPT QUESTION (9) 227 of rupees of their money, I break promises, I tell lies, harm their interests for my egotism and I possess within me all the vices of the world; yet still, the grace of God—not His wrath-descends upon me. God keeps my enemies frustrated in every plot that is hatched against me, and in spite of thousands of those sins, fabrications, injustices, and corrupt practices, I am neither struck by lightning nor made to sink in the earth. On the contrary, I am the beneficiary of assistance during [every] confrontation with all enemies. As a result, I have been saved despite the multitude of their attacks. And despite thousands of obstructions, God has increased the number of my followers to hundreds of thousands. Therefore, if this is not a miracle, then what is it? Let my opponents produce an exam- ple equal to it if they have one; otherwise, what can I say other than The curse of Allah be upon the liars]. Do they have any ] لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَذِبِيْنَ precedent of a fabricator of lies for twenty-five years, who was granted hundreds of Signs of Allah's assistance and support despite his fabrica- tion of lies for such a long time, and was saved from each and every attack of his enemies? [Then produce it, if you are truthful]. 1. In the court of Captain Douglas, the Deputy Commissioner, a case of mur- der was filed against me. I was acquitted of this charge; rather, I was informed beforehand of my acquittal. I was also prosecuted for violation of the postal code, the punishment for which was a jail term for six months. Of this, too, I was saved and I was informed of this acquittal beforehand. Similarly, in the court of Mr. Douie, the Deputy Commissioner, a criminal case was instituted against me; from this, too, I was exonerated by God and my enemies were frustrated in their designs. In this case, too, I was informed of my release be- forehand. Again, a man named Karam Dīn filed a criminal case against me in the court of Sansar Chand, a magistrate of Jhelum. From this too, I was ac- quitted and the news of my acquittal was communicated to me beforehand by God Almighty. Another criminal case was filed against me by the same Karam Din in Gurdaspur, from which I was also acquitted and God told me of the acquittal beforehand. Similarly, my enemies mounted eight attacks against me and were frustrated in all eight. Thus, was fulfilled the divine prophecy which was recorded twenty-five years ago in Barāhīn-e-Aḥmadiyya, namely [Allah will help you in every field ]. Is this not a miraculous Sign? (Author)
