Reply to a Mockery — Page 125
Response to the booklet entitled Ilh a m i Girgit 125 I am the God of the Time Maulaw i Abul Bash i r made a vision of Hadrat Mirza Sahib the target of his fraudulent accusations. In so doing, he slanders Hadrat Mirza Sahib twice. In the first instance, he records the vision in some detail. In the second, he records just one part of it. The titles that Maulaw i Sahib gives to the vision are: ‘I am God’, ‘I am the Creator’. The vision to which Maulaw i Sahib gave this false title is as follows [the parts that he omitted are shown in ‘…’ and his inser- tions are shown inside ‘[ ]’: In a vision I saw that I am God, and I believe that I am the same … [Then he says] And His divinity raged within me …[Then he says] My own dwelling disintegrated and the dwelling of the Lord of all the worlds came into view. And, with great force, the divinity took control of me … [Then he says] And while in this state I say, ‘We desire a new order, a new heaven and a new earth’. So I first create the heaven and earth in an abstract form, but it had no order and no classification. Then in accordance with the divine will I organise and classify it. And I see that I am master of His creation. Then I created the heaven and the earth in its physical form and said: انا زينا السماء الدنيا بمصابيح. . I then said: ‘Now we will create man from dust’. After that my condition changed. I moved from vision into revela- tion and my tongue uttered the words, اردت ان استخلف فخلقت نسان في احسن تقويم. ل اٰدم. انا خلقنا ا These are revelations about
