A SHINING SIGN—SIGN NUMBER 198 681 Prophet Mūsā, he would become the leader of hundreds of thousands of people. I tried very hard to gain access to his confidential revelations but I regret to say that they remained restricted to his coterie of friends and I could not lay my hands on any documentary evidence. However, the extent to which he published his revelations in his book should be sufficient for any fair-minded person. Although I have not been able to find some of his rather frivolous and most absurd 'revelations' which he used to record in a small notebook, the ones that have been found contain enough material to expose his falsehood. However, there is no hope of retrieving those ‘revelations' which were kept secret. In fact, it is certain that all such absurd revelations that were made against me under the fervour of the self must have been buried along with him.

Everyone knows that the plague has been stated to signify death by the wrath of God in all revealed Scriptures. At the time of Hadrat Mūsā, peace upon him, the Children of Israel were stricken with plague because they had become the object of God's wrath. The Torah contains a detailed description of this. Then, after Ḥaḍrat ‘Īsā, the plague overtook the Jews, regarding whom there was a promise in the Gospel that God's wrath would descend upon them. In the Holy Quran, this very plague has been designated ['chastisement from the heavens'], as Allah the Exalted says in the Holy Quran:
