202 Essence of Islam-IV Captain Douglas and his name will always be men- tioned with honour till the end of time. Fourteenth: Jesusas, having been born without a fa- ther, was not an Israelite and yet he was the last Prophet in the Mosaic dispensation who appeared in the fourteenth century after Mosesas. I too am not one of the Quraish and have been raised in the fourteenth century after the Holy Prophets and have appeared at the end. Fifteenth: The world in the time of Jesusas had taken on a new aspect. Roads had been built, the mailing system had been regulated, the military structure had been im- proved, facilities had been created for travellers, and the system of justice had been made much more trans- parent. Similarly, in my time, life has become much more comfortable. Railways have also been built, an indication of which is given in the Holy Qur'an. I leave the rest to the reader to understand. Sixteenth: Jesusas resembled Adamas as he was born without a father. I also resemble Adamas as I was born a twin. Muhy-ud-Din Ibn-e-'Arabī has recorded that the last Khalifah in Islam would be of Persian origin (i. e. , would be a Mughal) and would be born a twin. A girl would be born first and then he would be born. That is how I was born, on a Friday morning. A girl was first and I was born after her. I am not aware of the source upon which this prophecy of Ibn-e-'Arabī, which has been fulfilled, is based, but it is to be found in his books to this day.
