HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS No Date of Prophecy The Revelation that I have been graced with has disclosed to me these miraculous prophecies that have already ap- peared in the world, and thousands of witnesses attest to them, some of which have been mentioned here Date Prophecy Fulfilled 6 1880- 1882 أَرَدْتُ أَنْ اسْتَخْلِفَ فَخَلَقْتُ آدَمَ إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً See Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, page 492¹. The meaning of this prophecy is found to be in the context of the word Adam. The angels did not accept the vicegerency of Adam, but ultimately the one who was rejected was made the vicegerent, and the efforts of the deniers were to no avail. In fact, the strongest denier among them ended up being called Satan. The word Adam points to the fact that the same will occur in this instance and that God will establish this Khilafat on the earth with His own hands. A part of this prophecy is included in the following revelation in Izala Auhām: Eight years ago. قَالُوا أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَالَا تَعْلَمُونَ The translation of all these revelations is that I de- cided to create My vicegerent on earth. Therefore, I made Adam-meaning this humble one-My vicegerent. I am about to commission this Adam as My vicegerent and people will ask why I established such a vicegerent who is a mischief-maker and one who sheds blood. That is to say, they will accuse me of bloodshed. Ultimately, in keeping with the prophecy, this is exactly what these ig- norant ones did, as witnessed in the cases of Lekhram, Dr Clark, and Atham. God further says, "You are in error, as you do not know as much about this person as I do. " This 1 See Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, Part IV, Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, 2016.
