Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 98 28 December 1907 The Second Address of the Promised Messiah as at the Annual Convention at Aqsa Mosque after combined Zuhr and Asr Prayers A part of the speech I gave yesterday remained undelivered because the speech could not be finished as I was indisposed. Therefore, I address you again today. Life is uncertain. No one knows who—from among those present here today—will still be alive next year and who will have died. It is Precarious Time It is my duty to impress upon people in every way that the pres- ent time is extremely precarious. God Almighty has warned me over and over through revelation concerning an even more perilous time to come to the extent that it appears that the Day of Judgement is near and fast approaching. As I had explained yesterday, deaths are occurring in many different forms—there is the plague, the epidemics, the famine, the earthquakes. When such calamities befall, worldly people lose their minds and are seized with terrible grief and suffering and can find no way out of it. The Holy Quran alludes to this: 1 َو ىَرَت َساَّنلا ىٰرٰكُس َو اَم ْمُه ىٰرٰكُسِب َو ىَرَت َساَّنلا ىٰرٰكُس َو اَم ْمُه ىٰرٰكُسِب 1. S u rah al- H ajj, 22:3 [Publisher]
