CHAPTER TWO FULFILMENT OF PROPHECIES III hidden-be attributed to an impostor, whereas God Almighty Himself says in His Sacred Word that matters of the absolutely unseen are not disclosed to every believer; rather, they are only disclosed to those of His servants who have been chosen and accepted by Him? As Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran: لَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَى غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَى مِنْ رَّسُولٍ : Meaning that, Allah Almighty does not grant anyone ascendency over His secrets, except those who are His Messengers and are the chosen ones in His presence. It is an occasion for pity that certain ignorant people-so-called maulawīs and 'scholars'-put forth criticism against several prophecies containing warnings in regard to which some have been fulfilled while some have yet to be fulfilled. They fail to understand that Almighty God retains authority in relation to His prophetic warnings, be He willing to fulfil them or postpone [them]. This is, indeed, the creed of all Prophets and this is the very system established to avert calamity. A calamity which Almighty God has intended in relation to someone— regardless of whether God reveals it to His Messenger by way of proph- ecy or keeps it concealed-remains a calamity all the same. Thus, if it cannot be averted in any way, then why does God exhort us to pray, do good works, and offer alms? Then, subsequent to this, there are more prophecies that lend support to these prophecies which I am documenting hereunder as follows: ولا تهنوا ولا تحزنوا اليس الله بكاف عبده الم تعلم ان الله على كل شيء قدير - وان يتخذونك إلا هزوا أهذا الذى بعث الله قل أنّما أنا بشر مثلكم يوحى إلى انّما الهُكُمْ اله واحد والخير كله في القرآن قل ان هُدى الله هو الهُدى رَبِّ إِنِّي مغلوب فانتصر - ايلى ايلى لما سبقتنى يا عبد القادر اِنّى معك غرست لك بيدي رحمتي وقدرتي 1. Sūrah al-Jinn, 72:27-28 [Publisher]
