I have learnt that some other newspapers have also found this word of truth disagreeable. In fact, it quite pleases me to see that this prophecy is gaining public- ity and fame at the very hands of my opponents. In response to this criticism, I consider it sufficient for the time being to say that God Almighty has done what He wished and as He wished. None of this is of my doing. As regards the objection that such a proph- ecy shall fulfil no purpose and some doubts will yet 21 All praise belongs to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, Muhammad, the chosen one, the best of all the Messengers, and indeed the best of all creations, our master and the chief of all that is in heaven and earth.
