On page 58 of my book [Damimah] Anjam-e-Atham1 is recorded the prophecy in respect of Maulawi ‘Abdul-Haqq Ghaznavi which runs as follows:
After the mubahalah with ‘Abdul-Haqq, God Almighty blessed me with prosperity in every respect, increased the number of my followers to thousands, convinced hundreds of thousands of my scholarship, blessed me with the birth of another son raising the number [of sons] to three in conformity with the revelation, and then repeatedly revealed to me about a fourth son. I assure ‘Abdul-Haqq that he will not die until he hears of the fulfilment of this revelation. If he amounts to something, he should delay this prophecy by supplication.
Refer to page 58 of my book [Damimah] Anjam-e-Atham. This is the prophecy that was made about [the birth of ] my fourth son. Then, two and half years after this prophecy, the fourth son was born during the very lifetime of ‘Abdul-Haqq. He was named Mubarak Ahmad who, by the grace of God Almighty, is alive till now. In case ‘Abdul-Haqq has not yet heard about the birth of this son, I hereby communicate it to him.
What a magnificent Sign it is that has been proven true on both counts: ‘Abdul-Haqq remained alive until the birth of the son, and the son was born as well. Furthermore, no malediction by ‘Abdul- Haqq concerning this was accepted and he could not stop the birth of this promised son of mine through his malediction. Indeed, I was blessed with three sons instead of one, but ‘Abdul-Haqq, on the other hand, suffered the fate that, even after the passage of twelve years, not a single child was born into his household after the mubahalah. And it is obvious that, to become issueless after the mubahalah and not to bear so much as a single child despite the passage of twelve years and to remain utterly deprived of offspring, is also a Sign of God’s wrath and tantamount to death as Allah the Almighty says:
Bear in mind that, due to this very slander, no son was born to ‘Abdul- Haqq, rather he remained issueless, barren, and bereft of this blessing and his brother died, thus, after the mubahalah, instead of the birth of a son, even his dear brother entered the valley of death.3
At this point, fair-minded people should consider and—fearing God Almighty—reflect whether this knowledge of the unseen is within the capability of a human being that he should make a fabricated prophecy that he will certainly have a fourth son born to him and it is certain that, until then, a particular person shall remain alive and, thereafter, it should transpire exactly like that.
Is there any precedence of this in the world that God supported an impostor such that He made him appear truthful on both counts; that is, gave him the fourth son along with letting his enemy live until that time in accordance with the prophecy? Bear in mind that, one blessing that was given to me—out of the hundred other blessings of the mubahalah—is that God granted me three sons after the mubahalah; namely: (1) Sharif Ahmad, (2) Mubarak Ahmad, and (3) Nasir Ahmad. Now, if it is an error on my part to claim that ‘Abdul-Haqq is issueless, let him announce how many sons were born to him after the mubahalah and their whereabouts or, at the least, show us any earlier son.4 What is it then, if not the result of the curse!
Moreover, I have repeatedly pointed out that just as ‘Abdul-Haqq remained deprived of every blessing after the mubahalah, I, in contrast to him, was granted every favour of God such that there is no blessing—material or spiritual—that I did not receive: my progeny increased in that they became five instead of two, my wealth increased in that hundreds of thousands of rupees came, my honour increased in that hundreds of thousands of people pledged bai‘at with me, and my support from God increased in that hundreds of Signs appeared for my sake.

3 In my book Anwarul-Islam I had also, by way of a prophecy, indicated to ‘Abdul-Haqq that he would remain deprived of children; he should try to do his best to disprove this prophecy of mine and ward off the consequences of the mubahalah. As a result, he is still issueless and by today’s date—i.e. 28 September 1906—even after the passage of thirteen years since the mubahalah, he is still deprived of a child. (Author)
4 In accordance with the prophecy which has been published in Anwarul-Islam, no son has been born in ‘Abdul-Haqq’s house to this date for in my book Anwarul-Islam I have clearly prophesied: ‘No matter how hard ‘Abdul- Haqq tries or supplicates, he would remain deprived of male child.’ Thus did it happen.
