Mubahalah of Faqir Mirza included in the letter of Hakim Karam Dad
[In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. We praise Him and invoke His blessings upon His Noble Messenger.]
I, Mirza son of Faiz Bakhsh,1 caste Awan resident of Dulmial, area Kahun, Tehsil Pind Dadan Khan, District Jhelum, hereby sign this solemn declaration in the presence of the witnesses whose names are given below, to the effect that many a time in my dreams I saw the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and I have even been to ‘Arsh-e-Mu‘alla [the Highest Throne] itself. It was disclosed to me that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian is false in his claim. I was also informed through revelation that the Movement of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad would disintegrate by 27 Ramadan AH 1321 and that humiliation of an extreme degree would arrive which shall be witnessed by the entire world.
If this prophecy is not fulfilled, meaning, if Mirza’s present Movement and triumphant march persist until 27 Ramadan AH 1321, or register progress, I am ready to accept punishment of every kind. All those named below have the right to stone me to death, if they so wish, or determine any other punishment. I shall not object at all nor will my heirs have the right to obstruct those who will punish me, by invoking excuses of any kind. I, therefore, hereby write these few lines as an affidavit to be a document and leaving no room for any subsequent denial on my part; to make truth distinct from falsehood in the entire world; and to help people draw a lesson from this episode. For the residents of this town in particular, it is a spectacle of tremendous benefit and admonition. Thus, this verdict will become manifest in the space of a single month.
Written on 7 Ramadanul-Mubarak (AH) 1321.
