Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 9 386 What this means is that when Allah the Beneficent annihilates a malicious unfaithful person, He does not care about how his family and children will survive and how his heirs would fare after him. Shooting Stars Someone inquired about shooting stars [i. e. meteor showers]. The Promised Messiah as replied: As much as it can be ascertained, the Commentators also state that there were many falling stars before the claim of the Messenger of God, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and here too, probably in 1885, there were a great many falling stars before my claim. A whole host of them would shoot from this side to the other and then come from the other side to this side: 1 َوِمْجَّنلا اَذِا ىٰوَه َوِمْجَّنلا اَذِا ىٰوَه Also has this very meaning. Whenever a Sign of God Almighty is about to manifest on the earth, some indications appear in the heavens before its occurrence. The eminent commentators and those endowed with Divine visions also say this, and it is written in the Holy Quran as well. I had received a letter that, ‘A falling star [meteorite] appeared giving off a great burst of light and then there was such a frightening sound that people became terrified and there was great fear. ’ It is not known what is yet to take place in the future. Every day new phenomena occur. No year passes by without 1. By the star when it falls ( S u rah an-Najm, 53:2). [Publisher]
