In the matter of Lekhram, the hidden hand of God can clearly be seen at work. The fact that the murderer had come to be made a Hindu; the fact that Lekhram trusted him to the extent that he took him home without hesitation; the fact that on the evening of the murder, all of Lekhram’s other guests returned to their homes and he was left alone with the assailant; the fact that the murderer resolved to do the deed on exactly the second day of Eid; the fact that Lekhram stopped writing and stretched his arms, thus exposing his stomach; the fact that a clean strike was made with the knife; the fact that God silenced Lekhram such that despite being conscious and despite knowing that I had made a prophecy against him, his not expressing even for a moment that: ‘I am suspicious of Mirza Sahib’; furthermore, the fact that to this day, the whereabouts of his murderer are unknown; all of these are the actions of God Almighty, which shed light on His awe-inspiring power and strength.”
Then, the Promised Messiahas said: “Lekhram was a very rude man and no one like him was born after him. As the Hadith goes:
إِذَا هَلَكَ كِسْرَى فَلاَ كِسْرَى بَعْدَهُ
When the Chosroes dies, there shall be no Chosroes after him like unto him.
Now Allah the Exalted will keep the land pure from such a person.”
