HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS No Date of Prophecy 89 1893 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 I had a daughter named Ismat Bibi. Concerning her, I re- Around 1893 ceived a revelation: كَرْمُ الْجَنَّةِ دَوْحَةُ الْجَنَّةِ I understood from this that she would not live, and so it came to be. Lest some presumptuous person harbour doubts regarding such signs and ask why I did not pray for her to have a long life and, if I did, why was it not accept- ed, let me make it clear that whenever one receives such revelations, the recipients naturally undergo two kinds of experiences. Sometimes, inspired by the unseen, they feel great concentration and the urge to pray, which indicates that God has willed to accept the prayer. At times, God does not want to accept the prayer and desires, but rather to make His will known. He, therefore, cools down the supplicant's urge to pray and does not allow the necessary conditions of concentration and enthusiasm for prayer.
