Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 162 1 March 1907 Camp Sites should be Established Outside Villages Struck by the Plague A friend mentioned that the plague had spread in his village. The Promised Messiah as responded: Leave the village immediately and pitch your camp in open air. Do not take it to be the idea of the British to abandon plague inflicted areas and, hence, there is no obligation to pay heed to this. This is not the case. To leave plague-stricken places is the verdict of the Shariah. Save yourselves from the polluted air. Do not put yourself in peril knowingly. Wake up in the nights and pray fervently, and have your sins forgiven by God Almighty for He is the Omnipotent God and everything is under His control. If the decree of God arrives despite these precautions, then exercise patience. 1 1. Badr , vol. 6, no. 20, p. 6, dated 16 May 1907
