The Descent of the Messiah — Page 333
HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS Ark, the Promised Messiahas promised to write and include one hundred and fifty prophecies, it is worthy of note that he wrote Haqiqatul-Wahi after this book, in which he included two hun- dred and eight signs and listed eye-witnesses for some. Therefore, he who studies Haqiqatul-Wahī shall understand well that instead of one hundred and fifty signs, the Promised Messiahas has in- cluded two hundred and eight in it-thus fulfilling his promise. Haqiqatul-Wahi has not only completed Nuzūlul-Masih, rather in line with تَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِّنْهَا has proceeded above and beyond. There is no further need to complete one hundred and fifty signs in this book now for the signs written by the hand of the Promised Messiahas are far more than one hundred and fifty. Consequently, the public is presented this book in the same form that it was prepared before the Promised Messiahas—the price has been set so low that everyone with or without capacity may be able purchase and read it. May Allah the Almighty grant every reader of this book understanding and perception from Himself. Since the Messiahas-whose advent has been discussed in this book, has departed the world and left behind many treasures of knowledge and verities-may Allah the Almighty incline the reader to such knowledge and insights. Amin. 1 In the end we conclude with the words that All praise belongs to Allah.
