HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS 27 [continued] be saved from this calamity. It has been proven from other revelations in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya that this ca- lamity is the plague. Hence, this derives the prophecy that anyone who enters this Mosque with full devotion and sincerity that is acceptable to God, shall also be saved from the plague, i. e. death as a result of the plague. Living Witnesses: According to prophecy number 27, more than fifty thousand peo- ple have offered Prayers in this Mosque so far, and God has saved them from the plague and every kind of pestilence. 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 1 28 1880- 1882 يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُوْرِهِ وَلَو كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ See Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya page 240¹. Translation: "The adversaries will desire to extinguish the light of God with the breath of their mouths, i. e. they will employ all kinds of machinations, but Allah will perfect His light, even though the disbelievers should resent it. " This prophecy dates back to a time when the opponents were not zeal- ously opposed to this Movement. Then, ten years after this prophecy, their hostility became so intense that they issued edicts of heresy against me and issued fatwas pro- nouncing it lawful to kill me. They produced hundreds of books and articles against me, and nearly all the Maulawis turned against me. They employed every machination, no matter how mean or disgraceful, to destroy me. Nonethe- less, the result was contrary to their expectations and the Movement flourished in a miraculous way. This prophecy was fulfilled four years ago.
