A GREAT VICTORY—SIGN NUMBER 196 ☆ 645 However, since I had published beforehand¹ in hun- dreds of newspapers that he would indeed die during my lifetime, and I wrote time and again that I am the Promised Messiah and Dowie is a liar, and that the proof of this would be that he would die in ignominy and despair within my lifetime, he accordingly met his death dur- ing my life. Can there be a more openly manifest miracle than this that testifies to the truth of the prophecy of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him? Now, only he who is the enemy of truth will deny it. códé And peace be upon him who follows] وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَى the guidance]. ANNOUNCED BY, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah Qadian, District Gurdaspur, Punjab 7 April 1907 1. Footnote: An American Newspaper has added an interesting joke and said: Of a certainty, Dowie will accept the mubahalah challenge albeit with some modification. He would say: 'I do not agree to the mubahalah that the liar should die in the lifetime of the truthful one. But yes, I do agree to a com- petition in vilification. Whoever vilifies the most, and attains to the highest degree in this, that one should be declared the winner and understood to be the truthful one!' (Author)
