171. [One Hundred Seventy-First] Sign

Today is Wednesday, 26 September 1906; I have received a letter from village Dulmial, District Jhelum, mentioning the occurrence of a great Sign. The writer of this letter is Hakim Karam Dad who is a respectable landlord of district Jhelum and lives in the village Dulmial, District Jhelum, Tehsil Pind Dadan Khan. Along with this letter, he has sent a solemn declaration in the way of mubahalah by one named Faqir Mirza that contains his prophecy about my death, which has the attestations of lambardars [chiefs of the village] and others recorded on it. Therefore, first is reproduced below Hakim Karam Dad’s letter followed by the letter from the aforesaid Faqir who considers himself a saint and seer. The manner in which that prophecy of the Faqir was fulfilled is also given at the end. Since all the residents of village Dulmial know about this incident, everyone, if he is not fully satisfied about this incident, has the right to go to the village Dulmial and find out for himself by inquiring of the villagers to testify on oath. No one would dare to conceal wellknown events.

Now I reproduce below the letter of Hakim Karam Dad and later I will record the declaration of Faqir Mirza and the end result of this prophecy. And I acknowledge my gratitude to the All-Powerful and Gracious God who grants me victory in every field.
