1907 947 (These are words attributed to man, as if Allah the Almighty says on behalf of human beings that they do not know what is about to happen) The Promised Messiah [as] said: It seems that some terrible calamity would descend from heaven. In Arabic idiom, heaven can also mean calamity but I cannot emphasize any specific aspect of its import in this context. Translation: (4) [Arabic] They are a people whose associate cannot remain deprived of God’s mercy. [Badr, vol. 6, no. 7, February 14, 1907, p. 3 and al- H akam, vol. 11, no. 6, February 17, 1907, p. 1] February 15, 1907 Translation: (1) [Arabic] Who is it who is more fortunate than you are?

Allah knows best what length of time is meant by one week. [al- H akam, vol. 11, no. 6, February 17, 1907, p. 1] It was being discussed that the plague was increasing day by day. The Promised Messiah as said: It is possible that my revelation: [Not even one will remain by the end of the week] might refer to some specific people and the revelation might be manifested in that way.
