Eighteenth prophecy 117 rendered futile the satanic voice. And this is what was foretold in the prophetic texts and was fulfilled through the prophecy of Atham. The third testimony of God was the prophecy that was announced prior to the Conference of World Religions. The fourth testimony of God was related to the Sign of Lekh Ram’s death which broke the back of the opponents. This prophecy was foretold and published with such specifics and clear indications that no wise person could think that a human could have it within his power to bring about their fulfilment. This was so because the prophecy had specified the term, the day, 1 ٭ the date, the time, and 1. ٭ Footnote— It is established from Exodus, chapter 32 that the intent was to destroy and eradicate the Samiri’s calf on the day of Eid [festi- val] of the Jews, but the work of burning and grinding it down to dust, as is written in Exodus 23:20, required time and must have taken up some time of the night. Hadrat M u s a [Moses] had descended while the festival of worshipping Samiri’s calf was well underway, and likely this was after the middle of the day, and then some time was spent in the expression of displeasure and wrathfulness. Therefore, it is definitively established that the burning of the gold and making it like dust must have taken some part of the night which must have come to an end as the second day had been reckoned to start. Thus, the secret hidden in God Almighty choosing the name of Samiri’s calf for Lekh Ram was that his destruction would be arranged on the day after Eid, as was the case with the calf of Samiri. And because it is the knife that is used on the calf, thus the word عجل [ ‘ ajl —calf ], which is used in the ilh a m, contains a hidden indication to the manner of death. And this prophecy concerning the death of Lekh Ram, that he would be killed on the day after Eid, the revelation concerning it is the one that is written on page 54 of the book Kar a m a tu s - Sa diq i n , [See Kar a m a tu s - Sa diqin, R uha n i Khaz a’ in, vol. 7, p. 96, published by Islam International Publication Ltd. 2021] namely:
