The Essence of Islam – Volume V — Page 151
Earthquakes and Wars. They shall all be suddenly shaken by the earthquake;. Be it men, or trees, or rocks, or oceans. 151. In the twinkling of an eye the earth will be thrown upside down,. Blood will flow like in streams. . Those whose night garments were white as Jasmine,. Will wake up in the morning clad in red. . Men and animals will lose their senses,. And pigeons and nightingales will forget their songs. . That hour will be hard upon every traveller;. And every wayfarer will lose his way in agony. . With the blood of the dead,. Mountain streams will become red as red wine. . Men high and low will be convulsed with fear;. Even the Czar, at that hour, will be in a wretched state. . This sign will be an example of Divine Wrath,. And Heaven will attack with a drawn sword. . Hasten not to repudiate it, you ignorant fool,. For on the fulfilment of this sign depends my truth. . This is the word of God, and it will surely be fulfilled;. Be patient a while, and be righteous and forbearing. . Never imagine that this mistrust will be forgiven;. It is a credit and shall be repaid to you in full. [Brāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya, part 5, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 21, pp. 151-152]. The Sign of the earthquake that occurred on Tuesday,. Was but a morsel fed to you on empty stomach. . O heedless ones! A big feast is to be laid out in a few days;. Which the Gracious God speaks about repeatedly in the Quran. . It will become manifestly clear to the people as to whose faith is true;. They will learn whether the hallowed site of purification is. Kaaba or Haridwār?. Though Divine revelation apparently speaks of an earthquake;. It may yet be that some other calamity is in store for you. . Whatever it may be, it will surely be unprecedented;. It will be out of the ordinary, and will present a spectacle of doomsday.
