Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 416 chief of Delhi, Naww a b Mirza Akbar ‘Ali Khan, Ha j i ‘Abdul- Ghani and other respectable persons, the learned Maulaw i Mir Kar a mat ‘Ali Khan, had said, ‘This time the plague will increase in February and it will be so severe during April and May that 90,000 deaths will be caused by the plague per week. An earth- quake will strike Italy on 24 April at 5:15 in the morning. ’ He had also said that there will be an outbreak of the plague in Delhi too and disorder will spread, but there will be no plague in the neighbourhood where his house is located. The sick with the plague that he will touch will not die of it. Hence, this prophecy was fulfilled exactly as written. His house is in Farash Khan a h. There has been no case of the plague there, and it has also been heard that the sick to whom he gave a t a ‘w i z [amulet] were saved. Thus, Wilayat ‘Ali and Qamar-ud-D i n, the mer- chants in Sadar Bazar, Delhi, state that sixty patients were given [water dipped with] the t a ‘w i z to drink, and all were saved. Now the prophecy that has been vouchsafed is being sent for recording in the Paisa Akhb a r. The prophecy about the plague for the year 1907–1908: The severity of the plague in the Punjab will now not be like the previous year, but it will be really severe in the western and northern regions. It will also spread in Delhi more than the last year. A major religious leader of the Punjab who claims that the plague will not afflict him, will die of the plague. His followers will be affected by this incident and will be remorseful for their actions. The plague will not leave India until the true promised messiah, that is, Prince Edward, son of the Prince of Wales and grandson of His Majesty King Edward of India, comes to India as Viceroy.
