HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS 46 [continued] humiliate him who designs to humiliate you]. As soon as the late Muhammad Hassan decided to write a response to my book I jāzul-Masih God at once brought death upon him. Ghulam Dastagir prayed against me on page 27 of his book Fath Rahmānī and God put him to death. Maulawī Muhammad Ismail of Aligarh prayed against me, and God put an end to him. Mohy-ud-Deen Lakhukewala prayed against me, and God put him to death. Mehr Ali want- ed to portray me as a thief, but he himself proved to be a thief. Muhammad Hassan Bhin attempted to disgrace me by writing a rebuttal to my book, but he was so humiliated that God not only punished him by bringing death upon him, but every error he attempted to find in me turned out to be his own. He also brought the unfortunate Mehr Ali down with him. No Date of Prophecy 47 February 20 1886 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 On February 20, 1886, and March 12, 1897, I published 1897-1898 a prophecy, the gist of which was that Syed Ahmad Khan, K. C. S. I. would be afflicted by various kinds of troubles and calamities. This is exactly what came to pass. First, the Syed had to bear the heavy bereavement of his adult son's death in his old age. Then, a close confidant of his, a malicious Hindu, betrayed him by embezzling one hundred and fifty thousand rupees that had been entrusted to him by the Muslims. Consequently, he suf- fered such shock, grief, and agony that it took away his inner powers and faculties. Soon thereafter, he went the way of all flesh. Living Witnesses: These prophecies were made known to thousands of people beforehand through announcements. 241
