The Sign recorded in Barahin- e-Ahmadiyya, namely:
Meaning that, I decided to appoint a khalifah [vicegerent] so I appointed Adam as the Khalifah.
For as many as twenty-five years, this revelation has been recorded in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya. Thus, God named me ‘Adam’ here in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya. In fact, this is a prophecy indicating that just as the angels had found fault with Adam and rejected him, yet God ultimately appointed that very Adam as the vicegerent and all had to submit to him; accordingly, God affirms that the exact same will tran- spire here as well. Thus, the opposing ulema and their ilk did not spare any effort in criticizing me, nor did they spare any tricks to destroy me. But in the end God made me victorious and He will not relent until He has trampled falsehood under His feet.
