732 coming day will be harder and worse than the one before. God says: [Urdu] I shall perform wonders and will not stop till the people have purified their hearts. As there was a tremendous famine in the time of Y u suf as [Joseph], so much so that even the leaves of trees were not available for eating, in the same way people will be confronted with a great calamity. As Y u suf as helped save the people by storing up grain, in the same way, God has appointed me a messenger of spiritual sustenance. He who partakes sincerely of this food up to the required quantity will, I am sure, be dealt with mercy. However, God the Almighty has also informed me that the number of my followers will be augmented through the plague and the number of other Muslims will thereby be reduced…. I tell you truly that the faith of him who accepts me after witnessing the Sign here prophesied will not be worthy of great honour. Let him who has ears hear. God Almighty says: [Urdu] My wrath has been kindled upon the earth because the dwellers of the earth have turned away from Me. Seeing that worldly government disapproves of and deals severely with disobedience, then you can imagine, how terrible God’s anger will be. Repent, therefore, for the days are near.
