In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

[Translation of Revelations]1

Allah has placed blessing in you, O Ahmad. Whatever you did let loose, it was not you but it was Allah who let it loose. Allah has taught you the Quran—that is, disclosed its true meanings to you—so that you should warn the people whose ancestors have not been warned, and that the way of the guilty ones might become manifest; that is, he who turns away from you be known. Say, ‘I have been commissioned from God and I am the first of the believers.’

Say, ‘The truth has come and falsehood has vanished away; and falsehood was bound to vanish.’ Every blessing is from Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him; so, highly blessed is he who taught and he who has been taught. They will say, ‘This is not revelation, rather these are self-coined phrases.’ Tell them, ‘God is the One who has revealed these phrases and then leave them occupied with their sport.’ Tell them, ‘If these phrases have been invented by me and are not the Words of God, then I deserve the harshest punishment. And who is guilty of greater wrong than one who invents a lie and utters falsehood against Allah?’

God is He who has sent His Messenger and Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth in order so that He should make this faith prevail over all diverse faiths. God’s decrees are bound to be fulfilled; no one can change them. People will say, ‘Whence have you obtained this status? All of this being described as revelation is man’s word and has been manufactured with the help of other people. O people! Will you then knowingly submit to deception? How can that happen which this man promises you, especially the promise of one who is lowly and mean. He is either ignorant or mad whose speech is pointless.’ Tell them, ‘I have with me proof from Allah, then will you accept it or not?’ Tell them again, ‘I have with me proof from Allah, then will you believe or not. I have been living among you for a long time before this, then do you not understand?’

This status has been granted as a mercy from your Lord, He will perfect His bounty unto you; so give glad tidings and by the grace of your Lord you are not demented. You have a standing and status in heaven and among those who are able to see. We shall show Signs for you and shall demolish the structures which they build.

All praise belongs to the Allah who has made you Masih Ibn-e-Maryam [the Messiah, Son of Mary]. He is not accountable for that which He does but the people are accountable for what they do.

They ask, ‘Do you place in it as vicegerent one who creates disorder upon earth?’ He answered: ‘I know about him that which you do not know.’ I shall humiliate the person, who designs to humiliate you. In My Presence, My Messengers are not afraid of any opponent. Allah has decreed, ‘I and My Messengers shall always prevail. And after their defeat, they shall soon be victorious.’

Allah is with those who are righteous and who do good deeds. An earthquake resembling the Judgment Day is about to happen, which I shall show you. I shall keep all those who dwell in this house under My watchful protection. Step aside today, O ye guilty ones! Truth has come and falsehood has vanished away. This is that which you sought to hasten. This is the good news which was given to Prophets. You have appeared with a clear Sign from your Lord. We shall suffice against those who mock you.

Shall I inform you on whom the satans descend? Satans descend upon every lying sinner. Despair not of the mercy of Allah. Hearken! indeed the mercy of Allah is near. Hearken, the help of Allah is near. Help will come to you by every distant track—such tracks which will become deep due to the excessive travel of the people that will come to you. So many people will come to you that the track on which they travel will become deep. Allah will Himself help you. Such people will help you whom We shall inspire from Ourself. The decrees of Allah cannot be averted. Your Lord has said, ‘A decree will descend from heaven that will please you.’

We will bestow upon you a manifest victory. The victory of the friend of Allah is the grand victory and We have bestowed upon him such intimate nearness that he becomes Our confidant. He is the bravest of people. Had faith ascended to the Pleiades he would have reached there and brought it down. Allah will illumine his arguments. I was a hidden treasure and I willed to be recognized.

O moon, O sun, you appeared through Me and I was manifested through you. When the help of Allah comes and the hosts turn to us, [and the Words of your Lord are fulfilled] it will be asked: ‘Was this not true?’ It is incumbent upon you not to be wroth towards Allah’s creatures and you must not get tired of receiving them in large numbers. You must enlarge your house so that when people come in multitudes, there may be enough accommodation for them. Give glad tidings to those who have believed that they have the station of righteousness before your Lord. Recite the revelation that has been sent to you from your Lord to those who will join your Community.

Ashabus-Suffah.2 Do you know who the Ashabus-Suffah are? You will see their eyes shedding tears; they will call down blessings upon you. They will send blessing upon you and supplicate: ‘Our Lord we have heard the voice of a Caller, calling people to the faith and a Summoner to Allah and a refulgent lamp.’

Mercy flows from your lips, O Ahmad. You are in Our sight, [under Our watchful care]. I have named you Mutawakkil [the one trusting in God]. Allah will exalt your name and perfect His bounty upon you in this world and the Hereafter. You have been blessed, O Ahmad, and you alone deserved the blessing that [God] has bestowed upon you. Your rank is wonderful and your reward is near. The heaven and the earth is with you as it is with Me. You have a high station in My Presence. I have chosen you for Myself. All kinds of Holiness belong to Allah, who possesses all blessings and is the Highest Being. He will raise your status. The name and remembrance of your forefathers will be cut off and, after you, the family tree will begin with you.

Allah is not such as to leave you until He clearly distinguishes between the foul and the pure. When the help and the victory of Allah Almighty will come and the word of your Lord is fulfilled, the disbelievers will be told, ‘This is what you hastened for.’

I decided to appoint a khalifah [vicegerent] from Myself so I created this Adam. He drew nearer to God and then turned towards mankind and between the two he became like one chord between two bows. He will revive the Faith and will establish Shariah. O Adam! Dwell you and your companions in Paradise. O Maryam [Mary]! Dwell you and your follower and companion in Paradise. O Ahmad! Dwell you and your companions in Paradise.

You will be helped and opponents will say, ‘Now, there is no way of escape left.’ A man of Persian descent has written the refutation of those who have disbelieved and have obstructed [people] from the path of Allah. Allah appreciates his effort. Do they say, ‘We are a strongly supported host that will inflict devastating losses’? This entire host will soon be routed and they will turn their backs. Today you are a man of established position, and trustworthy, and My mercy is upon you in [matters of ] the world and the Faith and you are among the people who have been granted the succour of Allah. God praises you and is coming towards you. Holy is He who took you on a journey during the night. He created this Adam and then honoured him. He is the Messenger of Allah in the mantles of all the Prophets; that is, he possesses some characteristic of every Prophet. Good news for you, O My Ahmad! You are My purpose and are with Me. Your secret is My secret. I will help you. I shall always remain your Protector. I shall make you a leader of men. You will be their guide and they will be your followers.

Is this a matter of wonder for people? Tell them, ‘Allah is the Possessor of Wonders. He is not questioned about that which He does, but people are questioned.’ And such days We cause to alternate among men. They will say, ‘This is an imposture!’ Say, ‘If you love Allah, then follow me, so that Allah may also love you.’

When Allah the Almighty helps a believer He makes many in the earth jealous of him. No one can turn away His grace; therefore, Hell is their promised place. Say, ‘Allah has sent this Word’, and then leave them beguiled by their useless sport.

When it is said to them, ‘Believe as other people have believed’, they say, ‘Shall we believe as the foolish have believed?’ Take note! They indeed are the foolish ones, but they are not aware of their foolishness. When it is said to them, ‘Create not disorder in the land’, they retort, ‘We are actually the ones who promote peace.’ Say, ‘Light has descended to you from Allah, so do not reject it if you are believers.’ Do you demand any tribute from them which prevents them from bearing the burden of faith? Nay! We have given them the truth, but they hate to accept the truth.

Deal people with kindness and mercy. Your standing among them is like Musa [Moses] and be patient against what they say. Will you grieve yourself to death as to why they do not believe? Follow not that of which you have no knowledge. Do not supplicate to Me in the matter of the wrongdoers; they will be drowned. Build the ark under Our supervision and Our direction. Those who enter into a covenant with you, enter into a covenant with Allah. The hand above their hands is Allah’s hand. Call to mind when the one who considered you a liar and declared you a disbeliever devised a plan against you and said, ‘O Haman, prepare a fire for me, so that I might find out about the God of Musa because I consider him to be a liar.’ Both hands of Abu Lahab [the Father of Flames] perished and so did he perish himself. It did not behove him to enter into this affair without fear and humility.

And as for that which afflicts you, it is from God alone. A trial will arise here, then be steadfast as Prophets of high resolve were steadfast. Hearken! This tribulation is from God Almighty so that He might love you—the love of God, the Mighty and the Exalted. Two goats will be slaughtered and everyone upon the earth will ultimately perish. Do not be sorrowful, nor grieve. Is not Allah sufficient for His servant? Do you not know that God has power over all things? They have made you a target of mockery and mockingly say, ‘Is he the one whom Allah has raised?’ Tell them, ‘I am but a man. It has been revealed to me that your God is One God and that all goodness and virtue is contained in the Quran, and in no other book. No one penetrates to its deeper meanings except those whose hearts are pure.’ Say, ‘The [real] guidance is only the guidance from Allah.’

They will say, ‘Why has this revelation of God not descended upon some great man from one of the two cities?’ They will also ask, ‘From where have you obtained this status? This is a stratagem that you have devised together.’ They look towards you but they are unable to recognize you.

Say, ‘If you love Allah, then come and follow me so that Allah may also love you.’ God has descended to bestow mercy upon you. But if you revert to sin, We shall also revert to inflicting chastisement. We have made Hell a place of confinement for disbelievers. And We have sent you as a mercy for the whole world. Say, ‘Carry on as you like within your homes, and I shall also carry on and soon you will see whom God helps.’ Not the smallest particle of a deed can be accepted without righteousness. Allah is with those who are righteous and with those who are engaged in doing good deeds. Say, ‘If I have invented a slander, the sin thereof is on me. And I was living among you for a long time before this, then do you not understand?’ Is not Allah sufficient for His servant? And We will make him a Sign and an example of mercy and this matter had been determined since eternity. This is that very matter which you doubted. Peace be upon you! You have been blessed. You are blessed in the world and in the Hereafter. Blessings will descend upon the sick people through you.

Now, come forward and go forth, as your time is near. The time is now coming that the people of Muhammad will be lifted from the pit and their steps will be planted firmly on a strong tower. The holy Muhammad, the Chosen One, Chief of the Prophets. God will set all your affairs aright and will bestow upon you all that you desire. The Lord of hosts will turn His attention towards this. The purport of this Sign is that the Holy Quran is the Book of God and is the words of My mouth.

O ‘Isa [ Jesus], I shall cause you to die and shall raise you towards Myself and I shall grant predominance to your followers over those who disbelieve until the Day of Judgment; there is a group from among the first ones and a group from among the last ones.

I shall demonstrate My light and shall raise you with a demonstration of My power. A Warner came unto the world, but the world accepted him not; yet God shall accept him and demonstrate his truthfulness with mighty assaults.

You are to Me like My Unity and Uniqueness. The time has come that you should be helped and be made well known in the world. You are to Me like My Throne. You are to Me like My son.3 You are to Me in such an ultimate nearness of which the people cannot have any knowledge. We are your Friend and Guardian in this world and in the Hereafter. Whomsoever you are angry with, I am angry with; and whomsoever you love, I love them too. He who is at enmity with a friend of Mine is challenged by Me to battle. I shall stand with this Messenger. I shall rebuke the one who rebukes him. And I shall bestow upon you that which shall last forever.

Prosperity will come to you. Peace be upon this Ibrahim [Abraham].4 We have made him a true friend and have delivered him from grief. We are Unique in this matter. Then make the station of this Ibrahim your place of worship; that is, follow his example.

We have sent him close to Qadian, and have sent him at the time of true need, and he has descended at the time of need. The prophecy of Allah and His Messenger has been fulfilled, and whatever God had willed was bound to happen. All praise belongs to Allah, who has made you Masih Ibn-e-Maryam. He [Allah] is not accountable for that which He does, but people are accountable. Allah has selected you from among everything.

Many thrones have descended upon the earth but your throne has been placed above all others.

They will desire to extinguish the light of Allah. Hearken! It is the army of Allah which shall prevail ultimately. Have no fear, indeed, you will be on top. Have no fear, for, in My Presence, My Messengers are not afraid of anyone. The opponents will desire to extinguish the light of Allah with the breath of their mouths and Allah will perfect His light though the disbelievers might resent it.

We shall send down to you many hidden matters from heaven. And We shall crush the designs of your enemies into bits and shall show Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts the hand which they fear. Then grieve not over that which they say, because your Lord is ever on the watch.

No Prophet has been sent except that with his coming Allah has humiliated those who do not believe in him. We shall deliver you and will raise you high. I shall grant you such honour as will make people marvel. I shall comfort you and shall not wipe out your name and shall raise a great people from you. We shall show great Signs for you and shall demolish the structures that are being built.

You are the revered Messiah whose time shall not be wasted. A jewel like you cannot be wasted. You have a high standing in heaven and among those who have been granted insight. The Gracious God will demonstrate a Sign of Providence for you. The disbelievers will thereby fall down in prostration. They will fall upon their chins supplicating, ‘Our Lord forgive us our sins; we were in error.’ Then they will address you saying, ‘We testify to Allah that He has given you preference over us and that we were in error in staying away.’ They will be told, ‘Now that you have believed, no blame lies upon you. Allah has forgiven your sins and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.’ Allah will safeguard you against the mischief of your enemies and will attack him who attacks you. This is because they transgressed and treaded upon the ways of disobedience. Is not Allah sufficient for His servant?

O mountains and birds! Remember Me with ecstasy and heartfelt pain along with this servant of Mine. Peace be upon all of you from God who is Merciful. Step aside today, O guilty ones! I, along with the Spirit of Holiness, am with you and with the members of your family. Be not afraid; the Messengers are not afraid in My Presence.

The promise of Allah has come, and He has put down His foot and repaired the gap. Then blessed is he who has found and seen. There are people who accepted the guidance and there are people who have earned torment. They will say, ‘He is not a Messenger of God.’ Tell them, ‘My truth is being testified by God Himself as well as those who have knowledge of the Book of Allah.’

Allah will help you at a difficult time. The commandment of Allah, the Gracious, for His vicegerent, for whom is the heavenly kingdom: he will be bestowed a vast kingdom; treasures will be opened for him. This is Allah’s grace and is strange in your eyes.

Say, ‘O ye who disbelieve! I am of the truthful ones. So wait a while for My Signs.’ We shall soon show them Our Signs around them and in their own selves. On that day the arguments will be carried to its conclusion and there will be a clear victory. Allah will decide between you on that day. Allah does not guide the one who exceeds the limits and is a great liar.

We shall bear that burden of yours which has well-nigh broken your back. We shall cut the roots off of the people who do not believe in the veritable truth. Tell them, ‘Continue on your side to strive for your success; I shall continue to strive on my side. Then soon will you know whose efforts are deemed worthy of acceptance.’ Allah will be with those who adopt righteousness and with those who are engaged in doing good deeds.

Has not the news of the destined earthquake come to you? Call to mind, when the earth shall be shaken violently and it shall bring forth all of its inner burdens and man will ask, ‘What is the matter with the earth, that such a calamity has overtaken it?’ On that day, the earth shall narrate the events that befell it. God shall reveal to His Messenger the trouble that has befallen it. Do the people imagine that this earthquake will not strike? It will certainly strike, and at a time when they will be completely unprepared and everyone will be distracted in their own worldly pursuits when the earthquake shall seize them. They ask you, ‘Is the prophecy about the coming of the earthquake true?’ Tell them, ‘Yes, by my Lord, this earthquake shall certainly occur and people who turn away from God will not be able to escape it anywhere.’ That is, they will find no refuge, and even if they are standing at the door of their house, they will be unable to leave the house, except through good deeds. A mill will rotate and the decree will descend.

Those from among the People of the Book and the idolaters who denied the truth would not desist from their disbelief until this great Sign was shown to them. Had God not done this, the world would have been enveloped in darkness. I shall show you the earthquake of the Judgment Day. Allah will show you the earthquake of the Judgment Day. On that day, it will be asked, ‘Whose is the kingdom this Day? Is the kingdom not of Allah, who is Supreme over all?’ I shall demonstrate to you the flash of this earthquake five times. If I so willed, I would end the world that day. I shall safeguard all those who are in your house. I shall show you the marvel of divine decree that will please you. Tell the companions that the time for showing wonders upon wonders has arrived. I shall grant you a grand victory which will be very clear so that your God may forgive all your shortcomings, past and future. I am the Acceptor of repentance. He who will come to you, will be as if he comes to Me. Peace be upon you; you are the purified. We praise you and call down blessings upon you. Blessings of Allah extend to you from the Throne to the earth. I have descended for your sake and shall manifest My Signs for you.

Diseases will spread in the land and many lives will be lost. God is not such as to change His decree about a people until they carry out a change in their views. He will take this town Qadian under His protection after some tribulations. Were it not for the sake of honouring you, I would have destroyed the whole of this town. I shall safeguard all those who are within the four walls of this house—none of them shall die of the plague or earthquake. God is not such that He would chastise those among whom you dwell. The house filled with our love is an abode of peace. The earthquake will occur—and with great severity—and the earth will be turned upside down. On that day the sky will produce a visible pall of smoke. And on that day the earth will turn yellow; that is, there will be signs of severe famine. I shall bestow respect and honour upon you after your enemies try to humiliate you.

They desire that your affair should remain incomplete, but Allah does not intend to leave you until He completes all your affairs. I am the Gracious One; I shall create ease for you in every matter.

I shall show you blessings from every direction. My mercy has descended on three of your limbs: the eyes and two others; that is, they will be protected. The glow of youth will be restored to you. You shall witness your distant progeny.

We give you good news of a son, who will be accompanied by the manifestation of the True, as if Allah had descended from heaven. We give you good news of a boy who will be your grandson.

Allah has purified you of every shortcoming and has approved of you and has taught you the verities that you did not know. He is the Benevolent. He walked in front of you and became the Enemy of your enemies. They will say, ‘This is but an imposture.’

O critic! Do you not know that God has power over all things? He puts His Spirit into whomsoever He wills from among His servants; that is, grants the station of Prophethood.

Every blessing is from Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him; so, highly blessed is he who taught this servant and greatly blessed is he who has been taught. God’s feeling and His seal have accomplished such a lofty design; that is, God felt the need of the time, and His feeling and the Seal of Prophethood which carries very powerful grace, have accomplished a great task. In other words, there are two reasons for your being commissioned: (1) Feeling by God for the need of the time, and (2) The grace bestowed by the Seal of the Holy Prophet(sa).

I am with you and with the members of your family, and with all those who love you. My name demonstrated its flash for your sake. The spiritual universe has been opened for you. Therefore, your sight is sharp today.

Allah will prolong your life. Eighty years—four or five more, or four or five less. I shall bless you greatly, so much so that kings will seek blessings from your garments. My name demonstrated its flash for your sake. I shall show fifty or sixty more Signs.

Those who are accepted of God exhibit Signs and evidence of such acceptance. They are revered by kings and mighty ones and are called princes of peace. The drawn sword of angels is in front of you, but you have not recognized or seen or known the time. It is not good to oppose the Brahman Avatar.

O my God! Demonstrate the distinction between the true and the false. You recognize every reformer and truthful one. O my Lord! Everything is in Your service. O my Lord, guard me from the mischief of the wicked and help me and have mercy on me.

O enemy bent upon destroying me! May Allah ruin you and safeguard me against your mischief.

The earthquake that has been prophesied is about to strike. The servants of God shall arise and observe Prayer upon witnessing an example of the Judgment Day.

Allah will make you prevail and will spread your praise among people. Had I not created you, I would not have created the heavens. Ask of Me; I shall grant you.

Yours is the hand and supplication; the mercy is from Allah.

The shock of earthquake that will demolish a part of the structure. Permanent and temporary residences will all be wiped out. It will be followed by another earthquake.

When the spring comes round again, there will be another earthquake. When the spring will come round for the third time the days of the satisfaction of the mind will arrive, and by that time Allah the Almighty will have demonstrated many Signs.

Lord! Postpone the time of the major earthquake to some extent. Allah will postpone the earthquake that will be an example of the Judgment Day until an appointed time. Then you will see wonderful help and your opponents will fall down upon their chins supplicating, ‘Lord! Forgive us and pardon our sins, we were in error.’ The earth will say, ‘O Prophet of Allah, I did not recognise you.’ O defaulters! No blame shall lie upon you this day; Allah will forgive your sins and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy. Deal kindly with people and be compassionate towards them. You are to me like Musa [Moses]. A time will come upon you like the time of Musa. We have sent a Messenger to you similar to the Messenger that We sent to Pharaoh.

Much milk—that is, the milk of insights and verities— has descended from heaven; guard it.

I have illumined you and chosen you.

Provision has been made for your happy life.

Allah is better than everything. With Me is goodness greater than a mountain.

Many salutations of peace are upon you from Me.

We have bestowed upon you in abundance. Allah is with those who follow the guidance and those who are truthful. Allah is with those who are righteous and those who do good deeds. Allah intends to raise you to a station where you would be praised. Two Signs will appear.

Step aside today, O ye guilty ones! The lightning of the Signs of God would strike them blind. This is what (you) desired to be hastened. O Ahmad! Mercy flows from your lips. Your discourse has been made eloquent by the Benevolent Lord.

There is something in that which you say, to which the poets have no access.

O My Lord! Teach me that which is good in Your estimation. Allah will safeguard you against your enemies and will attack all those who attack you. They have disclosed all the weapons that they possessed. I shall inform Maulawi Muhammad Husain of Batala at the last moment5 that he was not in the right. Allah is Gentle and Merciful. We have made the iron soft for you.

I shall come [to you] suddenly with My hosts. I shall respond along with the Messenger and will postpone or cancel My decree at certain times and will fulfil it at other times.6 They will ask, ‘Whence have you obtained this status’? Tell them, ‘Allah is the Possessor of Wonders.’ Ayal7 came to me and chose me and rotated his fingers and signified that the promise of Allah had arrived. Then blessed is he who finds it and sees it. Various kinds of diseases will be spread and many lives will be lost in different calamities. I shall stand with My Messenger and shall break the fast and also observe it.8 I shall not depart from this land until a determined time. I shall bestow upon you the light of My coming and I shall proceed towards you and shall bestow upon you that which shall stay with you forever. We shall inherit the earth and will eat into it from its boundaries. Many will be transferred to their graves. Manifest victory will be from Allah that day. My Lord is the Possessor of Mighty Power and He is Strong and Mighty. His wrath will descend upon the earth. I am truthful; I am truthful and Allah will bear witness for me.

O Eternal and Everlasting God! Come to my aid.

The earth has become strait for me despite its expanse. O my Lord! I am overcome, so take my revenge from the opponents and crush them into bits, because they have drawn far away from the fashion of life.

When You determine a matter, it happens immediately with Your command. O My servant, since you repeatedly enter into My mansion, then see for yourself whether the shower of mercy descended upon you or not?

We destroyed fourteen beasts; this was because they exceeded the limits in disobedience.

The end of the ignorant one is Hell; an ignorant one seldom comes to a good end.

I have obtained victory; I have triumphed.

I have been commissioned as a vicegerent by the Gracious God, so come to me. I am the pasture of the Gracious God and I perceive the fragrance of the long lost Yusuf [ Joseph] even if you were to call me a dotard. Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the People of the Elephant? Did He not revert their plan to work against them?

That which you have done will not turn out to be in accord with God’s pleasure.

We have forgiven you. Allah helped you at the time of Badr—that is, in this fourteenth century—when you were weak. They will say, ‘This is an imposture.’ Tell them, ‘Had this enterprise been from anyone other than Allah you would have found much contradiction in it.’ Say, ‘I have with me proof from Allah, then will you believe or not?’ The moon of the Prophets will come and your affair will be completed. Step aside today, O ye guilty ones!

The earthquake will strike with great severity and the earth will be turned upside down. This is the promise that you hastened for.

I shall safeguard all those who are in this house from the earthquake. There is an ark and comfort. I am with you and with the members of your family. I shall desire what you desire. Concerning the order that was issued relating to Bengal—namely, the pain suffered by the people of Bengal due to the partition of Bengal—God says that they will be consoled in some other way in the future.

All praise belongs to Allah who has favoured you by providing you with good relations through marriage and a good ancestry. All praise belongs to Allah, who has removed my grief and has bestowed upon me that which He has not bestowed upon any other of my contemporaries. O Leader! You are indeed the Messenger of God, pursuing the right path, sent down by the Mighty, the Ever Merciful. I decided to appoint a khalifah [vicegerent] from Myself in this age so I created this Adam. He will revive the Faith and will establish Shariah.

When the age of the imperial Messiah began, Muslims who were only Muslim in name, were newly reconverted to Islam.

The heavens and the earth were closed like a bundle and then We opened them up—that is, the earth as well as the heavens brought out their full power. The time appointed for your death has approached. The Lord of the Throne calls you. We shall not let any trace of things survive you that might be a source of humiliation for you. Only a short time is left out of the term appointed by your Lord, and We shall not let anything survive that might be a source of humiliation for you.

Very few days of life are left. On that day the whole Jama‘at will be disheartened and saddened. Your event will occur after several events have occurred. Many wonders of divine power will be manifested first and then the event of your death will happen.

Your time has come and We shall cause bright Signs to survive you. Your time has arrived and We shall cause clear Signs to survive you.

O my Lord, cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous.

(Amin).


1 The English translation of the revelations is based on the Urdu translation given by the Promised Messiah(as) earlier in this book. [Publisher]

2 In one corner of the Prophet’s mosque in Madinah, a covered platform was prepared which was known as ‘Suffah’. This served as the resting place of indigent Emigrants who dedicated themselves to the worship of Allah, the company of the Holy Prophet(sa), and recitation of the Holy Quran. They became known as Ashabus-Suffah. [Publisher]

3 Allah the Almighty is Holy, without a son. This revelation is metaphorical as is the case with the following commandment of God: Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:201] That is, remember God in the way that you remember your fathers. The Holy Quran is full of such metaphors. Those who understand and possess erudition see nothing amiss in this. Thus, these words are not incongruous and similar examples can be found in multiple divine Scriptures and the sayings of those Holy people who are often referred to as Sufis. Thus, O people of understanding! Do not be hasty in coming to a decision about me. (Author)

4 My Lord has named me Ibrahim; likewise, He has named me with the names of all the Prophets from Adam to the Chief of the Messengers and the Best of the Chosen Ones(sa). I have mentioned this matter in my book Barahin. He who seeks [to learn more about] it, should resort to it. (Author)

5 This is what has been revealed to me about a person who opposed me and declared me an infidel; he is from among the scholars of India named Abu Saeed Muhammad Hussain Batalavi. (Author)

6 Holy is Allah and above committing a mistake, so the word ukhti [cancel] is mentioned by way of allegorical speech just as the word taruddud [hesitation] is used in the ahadith with reference to Allāh the Exalted. (Author)

7 By Ayal here is meant Jibra’il [Gabriel], may peace be upon him. My Lord has made me understand it in this way. As Aul and Al-Iiyab (to return again and again) are the attributes of Jibra’il, may peace be upon him, therefore he is named Ayal in the words of Allah. (Author)

8 This indicates the punishment of the plague and the fact that it will be manifested for a time and then halted for a time. It is in this sense that God is said to break the fast and keep the fast. (Author)
