916 AL-ISTIFTA' SUPPLEMENT TO HAQIQATUL-WAḤI ask you, 'Is the prophecy about the coming of the earthquake true?” Tell them, ‘Yes, by my Lord, this earthquake shall cer- tainly occur and people who turn away from God will not be able to escape it anywhere. ' That is, they will find no refuge, and even if they are standing at the door of their house, they will be unable to leave the house, except through good deeds. A mill will rotate and the decree will descend. Those from among the People of the Book and the idola- ters who denied the truth would not desist from their disbelief until this great Sign was shown to them. Had God not done this, the world would have been enveloped in darkness. I shall show you the earthquake of the Judgment Day. Allah will show you the earthquake of the Judgment Day. On that day, it will be asked, 'Whose is the kingdom this Day? Is the kingdom not of Allah, who is Supreme over all?' I shall demonstrate to you the flash of this earthquake five times. If I so willed, I would end the world that day. I shall safeguard all those who are in your house. I shall show you the marvel of divine decree that will please you. Tell the companions that the time for showing wonders upon wonders has arrived. I shall grant you a grand victory which will be very clear so that your God may forgive all your shortcomings, past and future. I am the Acceptor of repentance. He who will come to you, will be as if he comes to Me. Peace be upon you; you are the purified. We praise you and call down blessings upon you. Blessings of Allah extend to you from the Throne to the earth. I have descended for your sake and shall manifest My Signs for you. Diseases will spread in the land and many lives will be lost. God is not such as to change His decree about a people until they carry out a change in their views. He will take this town Qadian under His protection after some tribulations. Were it not for the sake of honouring you, I would have destroyed the whole of this town. I shall safeguard all those who are within
