644 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION first week of March 1907, he died in a state of great distress, pain, and sorrow. Now, clearly, what greater miracle could there be than this-since my essential mission is to break the Cross and a great part of the Cross has been broken with his death? Since he was the world's foremost defender of the Cross and claimed to be a Messenger, and used to say that all Muslims would be destroyed by his prayers, Islam would be annihi- lated, and the Ka'bah would fall into ruins, God Almighty, therefore, caused him to perish at my hands. I also believe that the prophecy about the 'killing of the Swine' has been clearly fulfilled with his death, for who could be more dan- gerous than the one who makes a false claim of propheth- ood and eats the filth of falsehood like a swine? He himself wrote that nearly 100,000 wealthy people had joined him. The fact is that Musailimah, the Impostor, and Aswad ‘Ansi were nothing in comparison to him. Neither of them enjoyed the popularity he did, nor did they possess tens of millions of rupees like him. So I can swear by God that he was the same 'swine' whose death at the hands of the Promised Messiah had been foretold by the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Had I not invited him to a mubahalah, or invoked the curse of God upon him, or published the prophecy regarding his ruin, his death would not have served as a testimony to the truth of Islam. 1. Alhamdulillah [All praise belongs to Allah], for today, not only my proph- ecy but also that of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was fulfilled with perfect clarity.
