112 and quicken the earth thereby after its death. ( Sūrah F at ir, 35:10) This shows that different personal pronouns can be used in the same sentence and this should not be objected to. In fact, it brings out the beauty of the divine Word. However, the revelation that Maulaw i Sahib refers to does not have any mixed pronouns. Rather, it is clearly a prayer to God by Hadrat Mirza Sahib. The revelation and a few preceding sentences are presented here: رض بما رحبت. رب اني ل ضاقت ا. آ �ی وں وک ڑکپ ےک ر � ی ب اے ازیل ادبی دخا � انما ی. ہ ےس دور اج ڑپے � ن � ث ف�ی� زدنیگ ےک مغلوب فانتصر. فسحقهم تسحيقا. ن فيكون ک ئا ان تقول له ی امرك اذا اردت ش O Eternal and Everlasting God! Come to my aid. The earth has become strait for me despite its expanse. O my Lord! I am overcome, so take my revenge from the oppo- nents and crush them into bits, because they have drawn far away from the fashion of life. When You determine a matter, it happens immediately with Your command. ( H aq i qatul-Wa hi, Ru ha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 22, p. 107–108; English ed. 2018, p. 125) Now, other than the Eternal and Everlasting God is anyone else addressed here? Are the words, ‘O Mirza’ anywhere to be found? Does he claim to possess the attribute of Kun? If not, then Maulaw i Sahib is certainly a fraudster and a slanderer.
