A Critical Review of the Pamphlet, 'Fateh-e-Qadian' — Page 103
Signs of the advent of the Messiah and Mahdi 103 provided the people do not close their eyes and turn their heads away from his light, they will certainly be able to see him because he will be on a high station. The underlying wisdom in adding the word ‘white’ with the minaret appears to be that although every minaret is visible from a distance, a white minaret is specially so because it shines brighter and eyes are attracted to it. The word ‘white’ may also indicate that the position of the Promised Messiah will be without any blemish i. e. his high station will not be because of some worldly importance but it will be purely spiritual. He will be seen by people in this sacred form, provided that they do not close their eyes because of prejudice or a preference for darkness. Explaining further signs of the Messiah and Mahdi , Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as , the Promised Messiah as says: So remember that amongst the specific signs of the Promised Messiah, it is written that: 1. He will descend with two yellow sheets. 2. He will descend with his hands supported on the shoulders of two angels. 3. The disbelievers will die with his breath. 4. He will be seen in such a state as though he has just come out of a bath and the water drops will be seen falling from his head like pearl beads. 5. He will circuit round the Ka‘bah confronting the Antichrist. 6. He will break the Cross. 7. He will kill the swine.
