THE DESCENT OF THE MESSIAH 87 [continued] that I remained alive until such time; and thirdly, that the land was distributed in accordance to the revelation. Living Witnesses to number 87: The witnesses to this revelation are Maulawi Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen, Sheikh Hamid Ali, and most of the men and women of our family. 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 88 1895 Being a diabetic, I was apprehensive about my eyesight, 1877 as one of the consequences of diabetes is that eyesight can be affected and cataracts can set in. On this account, I supplicated and received the revelation: نَزَلَتِ الرَّحْمَةُ عَلَى ثَلْثِ الْعَيْنِ وَعَلَى الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ That is, "Mercy will descend upon three organs: the eye and two other organs. " In this revelation, the eye is expressly mentioned, but the other two organs are not specified. It is commonly said that the proper function- ing of life requires that the eye, the ear, and intelligence be preserved. The accuracy of this revelation can be con- firmed by the fact that I have been living with diabetes for eighteen years, and medical professionals are well aware of the risks this disease poses to eyesight. Then what is the power that informed me in advance that I would be exempt from the operation of this rule and then proved it accordingly? Can it be the work of man? Claiming such while suffering from this condition is quite another matter; can anyone claim, even in perfect health, that his eyes will remain healthy for a certain period of time? 268
