211 certainty for these are the words of God, they will not be proven false, they shall definitely be fulfilled. A prophecy was made about the death of the following individuals: Abdullah Atham, Lekhram, Ahmad Baig, Sultan Muhammad. Of all these people, only Sultan Muhammad is alive now. Although it would appear that Abdullah Atham did not die within the stipulated time frame, the prophecy made about him was conditional. Since he repented within the stipulated time frame, he was granted respite. However, after this period, he hid the truth and so, after I published my announcement, he died quickly thereafter. Now where is Atham? Bring him, if anyone can. Ahmad Baig died within his stipulated period. Lekhram also met his death within the period that was foretold for him. I agreed in writing to Mr Dowie that I would not publish any revelation per- taining to anyone’s death in the future until they first seek permission from the District Magistrate. I do not remember the names of the two Arya Samajists who have been mentioned in my announcement about the prophecy regarding Mirza Nizam-ud-Din. I believe one of them is Bishandas and the other one’s name is perhaps Bharamal. Certain scholars have issued religious edicts of disbe- lief against me, but many have accepted me. Even among those who have issued edicts against me, some of them have repented and they are now joining my com- munity. ” —End And so, with this, the statement of His Holiness as came to a conclusion and His Holiness, on whom be peace, emerged from the courtroom with a large group of people. He was extremely and inexplicably overjoyed. The Promised Messiah as said: “It seems that the time for the fulfilment of the prophecy has arrived. Even if I had spent 1000 rupees and hoped in turn that this would be recorded in the court documents and for three deputies to be witnesses, this could not have happened. This is the work of God Almighty and indeed His ways are wondrous. Who can erase this from the court papers now? When this prophecy is fulfilled, will this not have an effect on these deputies? Indeed it will. Just as the prophecy of Lekhram garnered great publicity, similarly, this matter has become renowned as well. It is very good that this has been recorded in the court documents. ” Towards the end of the day, as usual, the Promised Messiah as went for his walk. On the way, Dr Faiz Qadir Sahib submitted: “Your Holiness! Mahdi Hasan Tehsildar and some of his friends would like to ask you some questions. If Your Holiness permits, may I bring them in the evening?” The Promised Messiah as p. 193
