27 December 1907 39 these people come here. Every single one of them is individually a Sign. And God Almighty had informed me about all of them beforehand. All these victories and successful achievements that have accompanied me were promised beforehand by God. But one who is a liar and fabricates against God is never accorded victory by God. On the contrary, God destroys him. You are aware that various false accusations were levelled against me, legal cases were filed against me, and attempts were made to dishonour and disgrace me in the courts. Cases of murder were brought against me. In the murder trial, Mr. Douglas, the Deputy Commissioner of Gurdaspur, who was presiding over this case, told me in the end and subsequent to making a thor- ough investigation, that he wished to congratulate me on my acquittal, and that I could have them [the accusers] punished by suing them. Now tell me, how could I have achieved this kind of vic- tory and success if God had not been with me? In that murder case, Maulawi Muhammad Husain was also a witness, 1 but I had foretold that I would be acquitted. Now tell me, what did those people gain from litigation except that yet another Sign became manifest? Remember, the work of a liar and fabricator never thrives and he never receives help and success from God. If the work of a liar could advance day by day in the same way, then even the existence of God would become suspect and it would result in chaos in the dominion of God. Since the inception of the world, it is the practice of God that the whole world turns against them [the appointees of God]. Just as dogs gather 1. From Badr: Those people tried their utmost. Were God not with me, I would have been crushed. These days you can have someone hanged by presenting three or four witnesses. They presented eight witnesses ( Badr, vol. 7, no. 1, p. 5, dated 9 January 1908).
