444 September 2, 1899 Just at this moment when I was writing this part of the book, I received this sentence in revelation: 494 This is Saturday September 2, 1899 1 p. m. , time for D uhar Prayer. [Tiry a qul-Qul u b, p. 59, footnote, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 15, p. 262, footnote] September 14, 1899 On September 14, 1899 I received the revelation: [Urdu] A title of honour, 495 a title of honour; [Arabic] [ For you there is a title of honour. ] [Urdu] There will be a great Sign with it. These are all the words of God Almighty…. I construe these to mean that God Almighty, in order to put an end to this controversy which has become somewhat old and has attracted charges of falsehood and disbelief, will show such a Sign of blessing, mercy, grace and peace, as will be above the reach of human hands and will be entirely pure. Then observing such clear proof of truthfulness people’s attitude will change and the rancour of the men of goodwill will suddenly disappear. [Appendix Tiry a qul-Qul u b, no. 4, R uha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 15, pp. 501–504] 496 494 [Arabic] Our Lord, we have believed, then write us down among the witnesses. [Publishers] 495 God has named me a Prophet in order to bestow a distinction upon me and this is a title of honour bestowed upon me.
