452 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION Thousands of people know that I have already published this reve- lation from God Almighty that: إِنِّي مُهِيْنٌ مَّنْ أَرَادَ إِهَانَتَكَ [I shall humiliate him who designs to humiliate you. ] Therefore, is there any ambiguity in the fact that Abdur-Raḥmān Muḥy-ud-Din did not leave any stone unturned to humiliate me? He declared me to be Pharaoh, he made the prophecy about my extermi- nation, and forecast the death of my progeny that all shall die. Thus, had I died prior to him, there is no doubt that all his friends would have considered my death to be his miracle. Had my children also died, two miracles of his would have been celebrated. But God Almighty blessed me with three more sons after this revelation of his. Moreover, He exposed the humiliation of Muḥy-ud-Din by killing him in my life- time in keeping with His promise: إِنِّي مُهِيْنٌ مَّنْ أَرَادَ إِهَانَتَكَ [I shall humiliate him who designs to humiliate you. ] That is not all. After his revelation He granted me three more sons, but He kept his wife issueless and, thus, showed thereby the proof of my honour to the world. Who can be more jealous for His faithful servants than God Almighty? He demonstrated His jealousy for me. Alas! Abdur- Rahman Muḥy-ud-Dīn—despite his claim to being a maulawi and a recipient of revelation—did not fear God in the least and completely failed to heed the warning: لا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ : 1 1. . . . follow not that of which you have no knowledge (Sūrah Bani Isrā'īl, 17:37).
