134 THE SHINING LAMP TWENTY-NINTH PROPHECY This prophecy is written on page 506 of Barāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya,' and it says: لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ وَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنْفَكِّيْنَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ [Meaning: Those who have disbelieved from among the People of the Book and the idolaters—that is, have firmly persisted in disbelief—would not desist from their disbelief until clear proof was shown to them. ] And then He said that: اگر خدا ایسا نہ کرتا تو دنیا میں اندھیر پڑ جاتا۔ Had God not done this, the world would have been enveloped in darkness. This points to a Sign of God that will save the world from anni- hilation, and the meaning of the ilham is that the people of the Book and the Hindus would not desist from their prejudice and enmity until God gave them a manifestly clear Sign. And had God not done so, the earth would have been engulfed in darkness, and the truth would have become obscured. 1.
