122 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION example of the Judgment Day until an appointed time. ¹* Then you will see wonderful help and your opponents will fall down upon their chins supplicating, 'Lord! Forgive us and pardon our sins, we were in error. ' The earth will say, ‘O Prophet of Allah, I did not recognise you. ' O defaulters! No blame shall lie upon you this day; Allah will forgive your sins and He is the Most 1. Earlier, I had received the divine revelation that the earthquake that will be apocalyptic was imminent. The Sign appointed for it was that Muḥammadi Begum, the wife of Pīr Manzūr Muḥammad Ludhiānavī, will give birth to a son. Since that boy would be a Sign for the occurrence of the earthquake, he would be named Bashir-ud-Daulah, indicating that he would be a good augu- ry for our Movement's progress. Similarly, his name would be ‘Ālam Kabāb, indicating that if the people did not repent, the world would be overtaken by great calamities. Similarly, his name would be Kalimatullah and Kalimatul- 'Aziz because he would be the Word of God that would appear at its due time. He will also bear other names. Thereafter, I prayed that the appearance of this apocalyptic earthquake may be delayed somewhat. Allah the Almighty Himself mentions this supplication in this revelation and then provides the :meaning رَبِّ أَخِّرُ وَقْتَ هَذَا أَخَّرَهُ اللهُ إلى وقت مس response to it too as He says 'Allah has accepted this supplication and has postponed the earthquake to another time. This revelation was published in the newspapers Badr and al-Hakam about four months ago. Since the apocalyptic earthquake has been delayed, it was also necessary that the birth of the boy be also delayed. Accordingly, a daughter was born to Pir Manzūr Muḥammad on Tuesday, 17 July 1906. This is a Sign of the acceptance of the supplication and is also a Sign of the truthfulness of the divine revelation that had been published four months before the daughter was born. However, earthquakes of a smaller magnitude must continue to occur, but it is imperative that the earth should withhold from the apocalyptic earthquake until that promised boy is born. Bear in mind that it is a Sign of the great mercy of Allah that by creating the daughter, He comforted us regarding the future catastrophe; i. e. the ароса- lyptic earthquake that has been postponed in accordance with the promise of prayers, 'God delayed Meaning that, after accepting the أَخْرَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى وَقْتٍ مُّسَمًّى it up to an appointed time. If the boy had been born at this time, there would have been great apprehension and consternation at the occurrence of every earthquake and every calamity in fear that perhaps the appointed time had come and the postponement would not have been credible. But now the post- ponement became defined having been tied to the fulfilment of a condition. (Author)
