No one will now descend from the sky Now that the age of the world has even reached the seventh millennium. 1 ٭ ا ہّصق امتم ی اک وہایگ ی اُس ےک آےت آےت د� اکزمار ی اگاِسد� �دےھکی ایکیا وہبتآےئاگبج His arrival continues to be awaited—but the Faith’s life is extinguished; Will he come to see this Faith’s tomb? االسم ےب فطل ِ دخا اب رغق ےہ ئتشک ی ولقعںےکوار ہ ی ار� ب اےونجںھچکاکمرک� Without the grace of God, the ark of Islam is all but sunk; O passion! Do something, for the intellects are of no avail. ھجموکدےاکوفقاعدتاےدخاوجشوشپت واہنوار ی ےکاِکد� ی د� ی مغںیم ی سجےسوہاجؤںںیم Bestow upon me—O God!—extraordinary zeal and passion, So that I may strive madly in the cause of the Faith. 1. ٭ It is established from earlier Scriptures and authentic a ha d i th that the age of this world from the time of Hadrat A dam, may peace be upon him, is 7,000 years. This is what the Holy Quran indicates in the verse: [ S u rah al- H ajj , 22:48] — َّنِا اًمْوَي َدْنِع َكِّبَر ِفْلَاَك ٍةَنَس اَّمِّم َنْوُّدُعَت َّنِا اًمْوَي َدْنِع َكِّبَر ِفْلَاَك ٍةَنَس اَّمِّم َنْوُّدُعَت which means that a day with thy Lord is as a thousand years of your reckoning. And it was revealed to me by God that the time that had elapsed from Hadrat A dam to the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was equivalent to the gematric value of the letters contained in S u rah al-‘A s r. According to this reckoning, we are now in the seventh millennium after Hadrat A dam according to the lunar calendar, which points to the end of the world. The gematric value of the letters of S u rah al-‘A s r almost completely conforms to the calculations made by the Jews and the Christians. Only the difference between the lunar and solar calendars needs to be borne in mind. It is also written in their books that the Promised Messiah must appear in the sixth millennium—which came to an end years ago. (Author)
