Absolute Confidence in His Revelations I am have full confidence regarding the earthquake. This revelation came after the publication of my announcements: ی ا هّٰللَّٰ رَمٰ َ ْت َ و َ لٰكِن ی ْت َ اِذ ْ رَمَ ی مَا رَمَ ی ا هّٰللَّٰ رَمٰ َ ْت َ و َ لٰكِن ی ْت َ اِذ ْ رَمَ ی مَا رَمَ [ Whatever you did let loose, it was not you but it was Allah who let it loose. ] This shows that the intention of God Almighty [regarding the earthquake] is categoric.

The fact that the date is not set or the time may be soon or delayed does not diminish the importance of the manifestation of the prophecy. This verse of the Holy Quran: 1 ْنِا ْۤيِرْدَا ٌبْيِرَقَا ْمَا ٌدْيِعَب اَّم َنْوُدَعْوُت ْنِا ْۤيِرْدَا ٌبْيِرَقَا ْمَا ٌدْيِعَب اَّم َنْوُدَعْوُت (I do not know whether the time of the punishment is near or far) clearly shows that the exact date of every punishment is not revealed. 2 1.
