NOAH'S ARK by the Muslim clerics on the whole, who found my claim to be intolerable. They exhausted every possible means to destroy me. Thus, in the above revelation, God Almighty has illustrated the pain and suffering that overwhelmed my heart as a result of the hue and cry raised by the ignorant.

For example: لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْئًا فَرِيَّا مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ امْرَءَ سَوْءٍ وَمَا كَانَتْ أُمُّكِ بَغِيًّا Related to this also is the revelation on page 516 of Barahin-e- Ahmadiyya as follows: أَلَيْسَ اللهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ - وَلِنَجْعَلَهُ آيَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِنَّا وَكَانَ أَمْرًا مَّقْضِيًّا قَوْلَ الْحَقِ الَّذِي فِيْهِ تَمْتَرُونَ See the twelfth and thirteenth lines of page 516 of Barahin-e- Ahmadiyya.
