17 Someone should ask these wicked people that if what they state is true and not intended to mislead others, they should put forth the published revelation about which I stated that God disclosed to me that a boy would definitely be born at that time, or that the boy born after the girl would unquestionably be the promised son and none other. Moreover, suppose I had thought that the said boy would be the promised one; my own thinking is of little importance unless supported by a clear revelation of Almighty God. The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, in his own estimation, believed that he would migrate to Yamamah, but that never happened and ultimately he migrated to Madinah. Besides, if the prophecy required for the promised son to be born of the first pregnancy, divine revelation must have had words to that effect. But can anyone point out any such words in the revelation? Keep in mind that many Israelite Prophets made prophecies regarding the birth of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, but it was after the appear - ance of numerous other Prophets, at the very end, that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was sent. Should one now raise the objection that the prophecies of the said Prophets proved false because the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was born 2,000 years after M u s a [Moses]? The Jews, in view of the prophecy in the Torah, believed that the said Prophet would be born in the near future; however, it did not happen accordingly and a number of Prophets appeared in between M u s a and the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Hence, only he who is insane or wicked and has no fear of God would raise such objections. Similar statements were made by Maulaw i Sanaullah during
