Details of My Statement in Brief 47 of some of the religious scholars that I had prophesied in advance. Hence, the plague attacked them like an armed horseman who suddenly attacks someone in the midst of a jungle. Consequently, their condition became like an unarmed person confronting a fully armed person or like a coward confronting a brave knight who is an expert marksman. And among the aforesaid signs is the help that our Lord afforded us with regard to the inoculation and ordained for us protection in this time of great tribulation. In the beginning the inoculation was considered commendable and cure was expected from it. But, later, when I opposed it on account of revelation from the Gracious God, its flaws that were destined to become manifest became manifest and there was no way that peace could be obtained. And I knew that Allah would surely show some sign for me as would demonstrate His protection. But what I did not know was that He would show that sign so soon. So, that sign was manifested and the matter of inoculation was rolled up like a scroll and made a forgotten tale. The government thought that it would start inoculation again after some modifi- cation and accurate trials, but most people were not satisfied with this as they had seen the deaths of nineteen people and the con- dition of many other unfortunate ones. The cause of the plague was not the rodent appearing from beneath the ground; its cause rather is the forsaking of modesty and moral behaviour and the committing of immoral acts, sinfulness and transgression. Hence, the plague appeared killing the sons and daughters of Adam and it was followed up by other signs. And, this happened because there is no cure for diseases of sinfulness and crimes of various natures and carnal passions other than miracles and signs. And, a person can truly believe in Allah only after witnessing such signs.
