Or whether Allah the Almighty will manifest it after a few months, or a few years. In any case, whether it is an earthquake or something else, and whether it occurs soon or later, it would be more terrible than the ones before. It would be very terrible in its intensity. Were I not forced to disclose all this out of my deep sympathy for my fellow beings I would not have mentioned it. … The meaning of the remaining Arabic revelations: Allah the Almighty says: safeguard yourselves by adopting righteousness before that day comes that will destroy in a moment. God says that He is with those who do good and eschew evil. He addressed me and said: My Grace drew close to you, that is, the time has come that you be recognised fully. Truth has come and falsehood has vanished… Hearken! I have warned you. The earth listens as does the heavens that whoever, departing from righteousness, is inclined towards mischief and pollutes the earth with his viciousness will be seized. God Almighty warns that His wrath is about to descend upon the earth, for the earth is filled with sin and vice. Then arise and be warned that the end is near as had been foretold by the previous prophets. I call Him to witness Who has sent me that all this is from Him and not from me. Would that my warnings were viewed in good faith. Would that I were not treated as a liar, so that the world would escape ruin. …Otherwise, the day is approaching which will turn men mad. The unfortunate fool will say: These are all lies. Alas! why is he in such deep sleep when the sun is about to rise?
