HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS 50 [continued] No Date of 51 Prophecy Kamālāt-e-Islām after which the second son was born and was named Bashir Ahmad. 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 September Then God gave me glad tidings about the third son: 5, 1894 إِنَّا نَبَشِّرُكَ بَغُلَامٍ This prophecy was published ahead of time in the book Anwarul-Islām. Accordingly, God blessed me with a third son, who is named Sharif Ahmad.

When Abdul Haqq Ghaznawi raised some objections to this, it was once again pub- lished on page 58 of Damimah Anjām-e-Atham with the forceful avowal that Abdul Haqq Ghaznawi would remain alive until this prophecy was fulfilled. The fourth son was born as per the prophecy in June 1899 and was named Mubarak Ahmad. All praise belongs to Allah for this. God's hand is so characteristically present in this prophecy, for He tied the birth of the child to the life of a man far advanced in age, and so it came to be.
