Noah's Ark: An Invitation to Faith — Page 14
HAZRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD (AS) ages? Certainly not! Instead, God's prophecy, 7 S will soon be fulfilled. Ten years ago today, God testified in favour of His servant by causing the sun and the moon to eclipse in Ramadan. He caused the luminary of day and the luminary of night to bear testimony in my favour and thus manifested two signs. Similarly, in fulfilment of the prophecies of the Prophets, He also showed two earthly signs: (1) You read the first of these in the Holy Quran as stated: وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُقِلَتْ Then, in the Hadith as you read: وَلَيُتْرَكَنَّ الْقِلَاصُ فَلَا يُسْعَى عَلَيْهَا For the fulfilment of this a railway in the land of Hejaz i. e. between Mecca and Medina is being constructed. (2) The second sign is the plague, as God Almighty says: 10 وَإِنْ مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيْمَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا 7 Allah has decreed: 'Most surely I will prevail, I and My Messengers. ' (Surah Al-Mujaadalah, 58:22) [Publisher] 8 And when the she-camels, ten-month pregnant, are abandoned. (Surah At- Takweer, 81:5) [Publisher] 9 The she-camels shall be abandoned and shall not be used. [Publisher] 10 There is not a township but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it. . . (Surah Bani Israa'eel, 17:59) [Publisher] 14
