Malfuzat – Volume X — Page 124
Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 124 shows that the Promised Messiah would appear in those very days. In fact, these are the Signs of the early days of his epoch. Then it is said: 1 َو اَذِا ُسْوُفُّنلا ْتَجِّوُز َو اَذِا ُسْوُفُّنلا ْتَجِّوُز meaning that such form of travel would become available that nations would come together despite being far apart; the new world would estab- lish contacts with the old world. The appearance of Gog and Magog, the advent of the Dajjal [Antichrist], and the domi- nance of the Cross are the Signs of that age too. People have created discordance because of their misunderstanding and believe that all these are distinct from each other while they believe, with regard to each one of them, that they would pre- vail over the entire globe. If Gog and Magog would prevail then where would the Dajjal prevail and where would the Cross dominate? There is no other explanation except that they all are various individuals of one and the same people. There would be no confusion left if they were considered to be one and the same. Allah says about them: 2 ُجْوُمَّي ْيِف ٍضْعَب َّو َخِفُن يِف ِرْوُّصلا ْمُهٰنْعَمَجَف اًعْمَج ُجْوُمَّي ْيِف ٍضْعَب َّو َخِفُن يِف ِرْوُّصلا ْمُهٰنْعَمَجَف اًعْمَج ٍ یَوْمَئِذ ٍ یَوْمَئِذ َو اَنْكَرَت ْمُهَضْعَب َو اَنْكَرَت ْمُهَضْعَب This indicates that a great degree of disagreement would develop. All religions would emerge as combatants. اَنْكَرَت اَنْكَرَت [ Tarakna ] indicates that it would be a time of freedom and that freedom would reach its zenith. Allah would then decide to gather them through His Appointee. Note that first He said ْمُهٰنْعَمَج ْمُهٰنْعَمَج [‘We shall gather them’] and for the beginning of the world, He said: 1. S u rah at-Takw i r, 81:8 [Publisher] 2. And on that day We shall leave some of them to surge against others, and the trumpet will be blown. Then shall We gather them all together ( S u rah al- Kahf, 18:100). [Publisher]
