( 105 ) The fact is that a test was coming for members of the Movement that seems to be the reason why in the wake of the last of the four Ilhams bearing on the righteousness and purity of the Ahl-i-Bait , another Ilham also was received: “There is a test. Some shall be caught, while some shall obtain their release. ” ( Tazkira , page 700, March 13, 1907) This test was the death of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih I, seven years after this Ilham was received. The Movement split into two. Since a promise in favour of Ahl-i-Bait had already gone forth, it so came to pass that the party supported by the Ahl-i-Bait became the party that prevailed. That day another Ilham was fulfilled: “There are many small ones who shall be made big and there are many big ones who shall be made small. This, therefore, is the time and the place where one should tread with the greatest care. ” ( Tazkira , page 535) So now, when you come to think of it, is it not really a disgrace when you find a sensible man like Mr. Faruqi giving credence to the filth mucked up by Mistri Abdul Karim and Sheikh Abdul Rahman Mistri – not only giving credence, but going a step further by trying to spread the mean and vile calumnies over a wider area? This is, perhaps, a novel method Mr. Faruqi has invented for enhancing the dignity of the Ahmadiyya Movement, and its Holy Founder, by showing that his prophecies in regard to his own Ahl-i-Bait have all been belied by events and facts. The Promised Joseph Apart from the Ilham with respect to the Ahl-i-Bait , we have reproduced above, there is another, as well: “I am getting to feel the fragrance of Joseph, though for my saying this you will, perhaps, only say that my senses and my mind have started to wander, from old age. ” It is hoped that by calling the Muslih Mau’ud by the symbolic name ‘Yousuf ’, a hint has been given that severe charges shall be brought against him, and then his name shall come to be cleared of the stigma. The idea here sought to be conveyed by saying that the fragrance of Joseph was becoming perceptible, is that the advent of the Muslih Mau’ud shall begin to be perceived. Along with this, another Ilham was also received: “I am along with the Holy Spirit, with you, and with your Ahl-i- Bait. ” ( Tazkira , page 524) Still another Ilham , with the same bearing, is: “I am with you, and with these your Ahl-i-Bait. ” ( Tazkira , page 747)
