Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 366 1 َّنِا َهّٰللا اَل ُرِّيَغُي اَم ٍمْوَقِب ىّٰتَح اْوُرِّيَغُي اَم ْمِهِسُفْنَاِب َّنِا َهّٰللا اَل ُرِّيَغُي اَم ٍمْوَقِب ىّٰتَح اْوُرِّيَغُي اَم ْمِهِسُفْنَاِب Allah will not relent, and will absolutely not relent, until peo- ple develop a change in their morals, deeds, and thinking. The fact is that these people resent even the notion that something should be attributed to God. Rather, they say that it has happened by chance and how does God have any control or influence in it? What I am worried about is that people will now adopt this opinion willy-nilly, and then come to accept this opinion to be valid—that it was simply a chance illness which is gone, and all is safe and secure now. Thus, comforting and assuring themselves in this way, they will turn away from God and advance in their defiance and audacity. The grandeur of Allah has departed from their hearts. The degree of respect and longing they hold in their hearts for figures of worldly authority and for their own personal needs and objectives—there does not remain even that much respect and longing for God and His Messenger and their approval. Even the global and punishing Sign of the plague did not prove to be of any benefit to them. Earthquakes also came exactly as promised by God and many cities that were heavily populated at one time became desolate, yet the world did not bring about any change. A few days ago, I received the following revelation: ُ َرۡض ۡأ زُلۡزِلَت ِ ال ُ َرۡض ۡأ زُلۡزِلَت ِ ال [‘The earth shall be shaken. ’] This also implies a terrible and unknown calamity, whether it is literal or metaphoric, as the word ‘earthquake’ has been used 1. Surely, Allah changes not the condition of a people until they change that which is in their hearts ( S u rah ar-Ra‘d, 13:12). [Publisher]
