CHAPTER TWO FULFILMENT OF PROPHECIES 143 Ibrāhīm had to sever his ties with some people of his tribe and from some of his close relatives, and it was thus prophesied about me that I would have to cut myself off from some of my people, and so did it happen. Then, at another place in the previous parts of Barahin-e- Ahmadiyya, I was called Ibrāhīm and He says: و نظرنا اليك وقلنا يا ناركونى بردًا وسلامًا على ابراهيم see page 240 1 Meaning: 'And We cast a look upon this Ibrāhīm and said, “O fire, become a source of coolness and peace for Ibrāhīm!"" This was a proph- ecy about the future. And what I now think is that it was a glad tid- ing relating to the lawsuits that could have put my life and honour in jeopardy, such as the litigation for murder entered against me by Dr. Martyn Clark, and the litigation by Karam Dīn. And 'fire' here is the fire that results from the anger and fury of the rulers. In short, what God says is that He will calm this fire of anger and fury, and there will be peace and deliverance. Likewise, in earlier parts of Barāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya I was also named Yūsuf [Joseph]. The similarity in this regard has already been detailed previously. Similarly, in the earlier parts of Barāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya I was named Mūsā, as Allah Almighty says: تلطف بالناس وترحم عليهم انت فيهم بمنزلة موسى واصبر على ما يقولون (see page 508 in the previous parts of Barāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya²) 1.
