Pandit Lekh Ram was the leader of a Hindu sect Arya Samaj. He was a bitter opponent of Islam and even foul-mouthed against the Holy Prophet (sa) of Islam.

Hazrat Ahmad (as) was deeply hurt about this. He made every effort to reason with Lekh Ram and to persuade him to stop reviling the Apostle of Allah. Lekh Ram did not stop and thus invited the wrath of God. God Almighty revealed to Hazrat Ahmad (as) that this man would be punished. Finally, he made the following announcement on 20 February 1893:

“Within a span of six years, this person will be grievously punished by God Almighty for his disrespectfulness and profanities he uttered against the Holy Prophet of Islam.” (Aina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam).

In another revelation, God Almighty told him:

“You will recognize the day of Joy which will be the closest to the day of the Festival.” (Karamatus Sadiqeen, p. 54)

Upon publication of these revelations, Lekh Ram became even more rebellious. To support his claim, he made the following prediction regarding Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as):

“This person will die of diarrhoea within three years […] and none of his offspring will survive.” (Takzeeb Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya).

Finally, God Almighty chose to arbiter between the parties, as Lekh Ram’s prediction was only a figment of his imagination. Not only did Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) survive the deadline set out in the prophecy against him, but also his offspring flourished with Allah’s beneficence.

As foretold in the prophecy Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) gave, Lekh Ram was killed within the prescribed period on March 6th 1897 by an unknown assailant. His death took place on the day after Eid. Scores of people openly confessed that Hazrat Mirza Sahib’s prophecy had been fulfilled with pinpoint accuracy.
