11 April 1905 175 11 April 1905 The Destruction of Kangra The revelation: ُ ر َا دِّی ِ ال ت َ ف َ ع ُ ر َا دِّی ِ ال ت َ ف َ ع [‘ afatid-day a r— temporary residences] was mentioned. Hadrat Maulaw i Noor-ud-Deen submitted that ُ ر َا دِّی ال [ ad-day a r ] appears to refer to the Kangra Valley because this is the main hub of shirk [polytheism] these days. Temples of two major goddesses are located there. By destroying both of them, Allah the Exalted effaced some very ancient shirk from the world. The Promised Messiah as said: People used to ask how God raised the mountain above the Children of Israel and that this account [mentioned in the Holy Quran] does not appear to be correct. The people of the Kangra Dharmasala area have now thoroughly understood how 1 اَنْعَفَر ُمُكَقْوَف َرْوُّطلا اَنْعَفَر ُمُكَقْوَف َرْوُّطلا can happen. Even in the slightest earthquake it feels exactly as if a mountain has fallen from above. Thereupon God wills to repel it out of the way or to drop it on top of some- one. This is the reply given by God to the ignorant people of the naturalist age through the means of an earthquake. It is hoped that after seeing such extensive scenes, some fortunate people will understand that the power of Allah the Exalted encom- passes everything, and He does what He wills. 1. We raised high above you the Mount ( S u rah al-Baqarah, 2:64). [Publisher]
