158 MALFŪZĀT - ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF URDU VOLUME 9 25 FEBRUARY 1907 (At the time of Zuhr) Manifestation of Signs The Promised Messiahas said: Allah the Almighty has now imposed itmām-ul-hujjah [con- clusive evidence] upon the people. Sign after Sign is manifest- ing. The mention in the Hadith that Signs will appear continu- ously like the falling beads of a broken rosary¹ was for this very time. Accordingly, you are witnessing that as soon as one Sign is fulfilled another is also being fulfilled simultaneously. One person mentioned about the plague that five funerals proceeded from one home at the same time in Ludhiana. A second person nar- rated that a village twelve to fourteen kos² from here had nine members from the same family go to sleep at night in a state of good health, but seven were found dead the next morning. After some time, a boy also passed away. The Promised Messiahas said: These are the wrathful Signs of God Almighty. Alas! People still do not comprehend. The same is understood from the revelation: 1. In Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Abwābul-Fitan, Bāb mā jāʼa fi 'Alāmati Hulūlil-Maskhi wal-Khasf, Hadith 2211; it is written as: وَآيَاتٍ تَتَابَعُ كَنِظَامٍ بَالٍ قُطِعَ سِلْكُهُ فَتَتَابَعَ [Publisher] 2. A kose is a measure of distance, the length of which is approximately two English miles. [Publisher]
