124 BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA - PART FIVE trying to ensnare you. ' And so it happened indeed. In a criminal case filed against me by a man named Karam Din, the Hindu Magistrate intended to sentence me to imprisonment, but God, through some unseen means, barred him from carrying out his design. And it was also revealed that he would ultimately fail altogether in satisfying his desire to punish me. Thus, the Yūsuf of this Ummah-that is, my own humble self- is superior to the Yūsuf of the Israelites, because this humble one was saved from prison even when he prayed to be imprisoned, whereas Yūsuf son of Yaqub, had to go to prison. And God Himself foretold about the acquittal of the Yūsuf of this Ummah twenty-five years in advance, and He manifested many other Signs. Yūsuf son of Yaʻqūb, on the other hand, had to rely on the testimony of a human being. The testimony of these prophecies was followed by the testimony of a terrible earthquake, whose tidings I had given eleven months before- hand, as the prophecy about the earthquake was accompanied by this divine revelation: 1☆ قل عندى شهادة من الله فهل انتم مؤمنون Thus, these are the two witnesses and no one knows how many more are to follow. In short, God-who is aware of the malicious thoughts of the big- oted too-called me Yūsuf and attributed to me his words from Sūrah Yūsuf: 1. Here, God Almighty says: قل عندى شهادة من الله فهل انتم مؤمنون Meaning: 'Tell them that I have testimony from my Lord, which is superior to the testimony of human beings', is the same testimony, which God foretold about these baseless accusations a long time earlier.
