29 September 1907 453 Plague is a Fearsome Disease The Promised Messiah as said: Plague is an unparalleled pandemic. Not only do humans die due to its effect but, it also impacts animals. It has been heard in the area of Sargodha that squirrels, wolves, and jackals have been dying with this disease in the forest. It is a severe wrath of God Almighty for there is no such disease that falls equally on animals, humans, quadrupeds, and birds and destroys all of them. 1 (At the time of Z uhr) The Prophecy of the Advent of a Messenger in this Age The Promised Messiah as said upon the mention of the plague: Allah the Beneficent has already given the news of this punish- ment in the Holy Quran as He said: 2 َوْنِا ْنِّم ٍةَيْرَق اَّلِا ُنْحَن اَهْوُكِلْهُم َلْبَق ِمْوَي ِةَمٰيِقْلا ْوَا اَهْوُبِّذَعُم اًباَذَع اًدْيِدَش َوْنِا ْنِّم ٍةَيْرَق اَّلِا ُنْحَن اَهْوُكِلْهُم َلْبَق ِمْوَي ِةَمٰيِقْلا ْوَا اَهْوُبِّذَعُم اًباَذَع اًدْيِدَش Furthermore, this is also written in the Holy Quran along with it: 1. Badr, vol. 6, no. 40, p. 6, dated 3 October 1907 2. There is not a township but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe punishment ( S u rah Ban i Isr a ’ i l, 17:59). [Publisher]
