1898 425 This is the Judgment of God. Its purport is that of the two sides mentioned in the announcement, that is to say myself on one side and Sheikh Muhammad H usain, Ja‘far Zatall i and Maulav i Abul- H asan Tibbet i on the other, both being under the command of Allah, the one who is a liar will be humiliated. As this Judgment will be on the basis of revelation it will be a clear Sign for the seekers after truth and will open the way of guidance for them…. The summary of this revelation is that those who are reviling a truthful one in order to humiliate him and are devising projects to that end will be humiliated by God. The term is thirteen months from December 15, 1898 as has already been mentioned and the period till December 14, 1898 is a respite for repentance and turning to God. The end. 466 [Majm u ‘a-e-Ishtih a r a t, vol. 3, pp. 57–62, Announcement of November 21, 1898] 466 In the announcement of November 21, 1898. . . the following revelation was set forth for the unjust and lying party: [Arabic] The recompense of evil is a penalty in proportion thereto and they will be humiliated. That is to say that the unjust one will be afflicted with a penalty, the like of the evil that he did to the other side. Today that prophecy has been completely fulfilled. Maulav i Muhammad H usain had reviled me and humiliated me, he called me a disbeliever, Antichrist, liar and a perverter and had an edict prepared on those lines against me by the maulav i of Punjab and India. On that basis he persuaded Muhammad Bakhsh Ja‘far Zatall i and others of Lahore to calumniate me and the members of my family. So now a similar edict has been issued against Muhammad H usain himself by the maulav i s of Punjab and India including his own master and teacher Nadh i r H usain. They have stated that he is a liar, Antichrist, impostor, disbeliever, innovator, and that he is outside the pale of Ahl-e- Sunnat and indeed outside the pale of Islam.
