A Verdict Required — Page 35
HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD AS 35 made the prophecy. Nevertheless, by repeatedly making pleas to the Government, they had my house searched, and by creat- ing much of an unjustified uproar, they fully resembled the wor- shippers of the calf. Who knows what will happen in the future, but we believe that the analogy articulated by God is the perfect similitude. Furthermore, there exists another Divinely revealed proph- ecy regarding Lekh Ram, which has been recorded in the begin- ning and the end of the title page of the treatise Barakātud-Du'a' [Blessings of Prayer]. This prophecy was proclaimed in April 1893; that is to say, three months subsequent to the first prophecy. A brief summary of this prophecy is as follows: Syed Ahmad Khan Şahib, KCSI, had authored a treatise in refutation of the accept- ance of prayer, which he had entitled Ad-Du'a' wal-Istijābah. This treatise was utterly opposed to the truth. I, therefore, wrote the treatise Barakātud-Du'a' in reply to it, and at the time of writing this treatise I felt compelled to present an example of the acceptance of prayer before Syed Şahib. It so happened that, by the grace of God, my prayer concerning Lekh Ram had already been accepted in those very days. Thus, I presented this exam- ple on the title page of Barakātud-Du'a. When the readers of Barakātud-Du'a' open this treatise, they shall find this recorded on a coloured sheet of paper next to the title page.
