NINETEENTH PROPHECY 123 known when they will be fulfilled. There is a time when people die through supplications while another time comes when they will become alive through supplications. NINETEENTH PROPHECY This prophecy is written on page 240 of Barāhīn[-e-Ahmadiyya]:¹ رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيْفَ تُحْيِ الْمَوْتَى رَبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ. رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِي فَرْدًا وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ. رَبِّ أَصْلِحْ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ. رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْفَاتِحِيْن . يُرِيدُوْنَ أَنْ يُطْفِئُوا نُوْرَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ، وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُوْرِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُوْنَ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ وَانْتَهَى أَمْرُ الزَّمَانِ إِلَيْنَا. أَلَيْسَ هَذَا بِالْحَقِّ. Translation meaning that: O my Lord! Show me how You bring the dead to life. O my Lord! Forgive and send mercy from heaven. O my Lord, do not leave me alone, for You are the Best of Inheritors. O my Lord, reform Ummat-e- Muhammadiyyah [the followers of Muhammad]. O our Lord, judge between us and our people with truth; You are the Best of the Judges. These people desire to extin- guish the light of Allah with the breath of their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light even though the disbeliev- ers might hate it. When the help of Allah comes, and His victory descends, and a succession of hearts turns toward us and comes to abide with us, then shall it be asked: 'Was this not true?' 1.
