104 Now, reflect and ponder carefully over this book as to whether the unseen that has been described in this verse has not been mani- fested in the most perfect manner. Verily, verily, I say unto you that if what has been manifested before you were to be shown to the [spiritually] blind who had passed away before this century, they would not have remained blind. Therefore, do not reject the light after having found it. God is ready to grant you illumined eyes and is eager to bestow upon you pure hearts. He desires to manifest His Being upon you in a new form, and His hands are stretched forth to bring into being a new heaven and a new earth. So do not become an obstacle but prostrate forthwith with piety. Do not inflict cruelty upon your own selves, and do not become the enemy of your progenies. May God have mercy upon you and forgive your sins and bless your days. Pay heed to what heaven is doing and why God is pulling upon the earth. It is a pity that you have even forgotten that this is the head of the [fourteenth] century! The fifteenth prophecy which has much relevance to the prophecies of Atham and Lekh Ram, is the one that was pub- lished in the treatise Anw a rul-Isl a m after the prescribed period [of the prophecy] for Atham had expired. The revelation is as follows: ً. و َاَلَ تَعْـجَبُوْا و َاَلَ تَـحْزَنُوْا اَل ْ ي ِ ا ہّٰللِّٰ تَبْدِ َمِّہ ٖ وَغَـمِّہٖ. وَلَن ْ تَـجِد َ لِسُنَّۃ ه َ ا ہّٰللُّٰ عَلٰی ُ اِطَّلَع َْعْلٰی. و َ نُـمَزِّق اَل ْنَ. وَبِعِزَّتِی ْ وَج َاَلَلِی ْ اِنَّك َ اَنْت َ ا ي ِ َْعْلَوْن َ اِن ْ کُنْتُم ْ مُّؤْمِن اَل ٌ وَاَنْتُم ُ ا َّفْرَح ُ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ. ثُلَّۃ ي ٍ َـوْمَئِذ ي ْشِف ُ السِّـر َّ عَن ْ سَاقِہٖ. ك َْعْدَآء َ کُل َّ مُـمَزَّقٍ. اِنَّـا نَ اَل ا. ً اَل ْ ي ٰذِہ ٖ تَذْکِرَۃ ٌ فَـمَن ْ شَآء َ اتَّـخَذ َ اِلٰی رَبِّہ ٖ سَبِ ه ْنَ. ي ِ ْٰخِر اَل َ ا ْن َ وَثُلَّۃ ٌ مِّن ي َِْوَّل اَل َ ا مِّن Meaning: Allah has taken note of Atham’s heart becoming
