150. Essence of Islam-V are not secure, O you who dwell in the Islands, no artificial god will come to your aid. I see the cities falling and I see the habitations in ruin. The One and the Unique has long remained silent. Abominations were committed before His eyes and yet He remained silent. But now He shall reveal His countenance in a dreadful manner. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! The hour is not far. I tried to bring everyone under the security of God, but the decrees of destiny had to be fulfilled. Assuredly, I say that this country's turn is also drawing near. The days of Noah shall appear before your eyes, and you will see with your own eyes what happened to the land of Lot. But God is slow to wrath, repent so that you are shown mercy. . He who abandons God is a worm, not a man, and he who does not fear Him is dead, not alive. [Haqiqat-ul-Waḥī, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 22, pp. 268-269]. Wake up quick, O you who sleep; for this is not the time for slumber,. My heart is in anguish due to what Divine revelation has communicated to me. . I see the earth turned upside down by the earthquake;. The time is very near and the flood is at the gates. . The Benevolent Master stands at the roadside;. The righteous have nothing to fear from the terrible storm. . No boat can save you from this flood;. Every scheme has failed, and there remains only the One Who is Oft-Returning with compassion. . A sign will appear some days from now, [Durr-e-Thamin, p. 68]. Which shall devastate country and town and meadow. . So suddenly will people be seized by Divine wrath,. An undressed person will have no time to secure his loincloth.
