And We shall make the shattering of the mountain into pieces a Sign for the people, and this Sign will be a source of mercy from which many shall benefit. 1 ٭ This matter had already been decreed. This is the word of truth prior to whose manifestation you were in doubt. A mean person does not accept any Sign other than the Sign of death. He is My enemy and yours. Say to these mean ones that the Sign of death will also come and a great pestilence will break out in the world. So, do not ask Me to hasten the Signs for all of this will transpire at its proper time. This prophecy foretold the plague and the terrible earthquake and it was published in Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya twenty-five years ago. Then Almighty God says: When I help My Messenger, the one I have appointed, by sending down terrible and devastating Signs,2 ٭ it will be said to the deniers: ‘Say now whether I am your Lord or not?’ In other words, those will be days of great difficulty and hardship, and terrible Signs will appear in those days, beholding which many people 1. ٭ Bear in mind that the translation of the divine words recorded in Bar a h i n- e-Ahmadiyya by virtue of it being before its time, is at places given in a concise form, and at places certain words were interpreted to mean something other than their literal sense.

In this verse, God Almighty promises that He will ultimately bring them to believe, and they will have to admit that the One who has been sending His revelation upon this humble author from the time of Bar a h i n-e- Ahmadiyya till now is none other than God, He indeed who is, the Lord of this world beside whom there is no other god.
