A Gift for An-Nadwah What is more, this prophecy would not have been ful- filled as magnificently as it has been if I had not been so fiercely opposed by the maulawīs. Not only have I been exonerated in the light of the verse 14 وَإِنْ يَّكُ كَاذِبًا فَعَلَيْهِ but my truth has also been established by the fulfilment of the prophecies published in Barāhīn-e-Ahmadiyyah, twenty-two years ago, and by the manner in which thousands of blessed and capable persons have joined me since. Let us now turn to the second part of the afore-mentioned verse which says: وَإِنْ يَكُ صَادِقًا يُصِبْكُمْ بَعْضُ الَّذِي يَعِدُكُمْ 15 These words have been fulfilled in a brilliant manner. God spoke to me and said إِنِّي مُهِينٌ مَّنْ أَرَادَ اِهَانَتَكَ ie, 'Whosoev- er insults you will not die before he sees his own humil- iation. ' One should ask these maulawīs whether, by the Will of God, they have not been humiliated on account of their hostility towards me. Who among those who have hurled insults at me can say that the Quranic prophecy 16 يُصِبُكُمْ بَعْضُ الَّذِي يَعِدُكُمْ has not been fulfilled in my favour? By using the word بعض ]some the Holy Quran 14 And if he be a liar, on him will be the sin. —Al-Mu'min, 40:29 [Publishers] 15 But if he is truthful, then some of that which he threatens you with will surely befall you. -Al-Mu'min, 40:29 [Publishers] 16 Ibid 20
