176 MALFUZAT - ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF URDU VOLUME 7 The Sign of the Earthquake Mention was made of a journalist who writes that earthquakes occur all the time, so how can it be a Sign for Mirza Şahib? The Promised Messiahas said: These people are blind. The Sign lies in the fact that a person foretold a prophecy to occur at its precise moment and dis- closed that this is the very time [for its fulfilment]. Oh well, not all are blind. Those who possess discernment will understand what kind of a Sign this is. Temples and idols that existed for thousands of years lie in ruins now. If this is not a Sign, what else is it? The Promised Messiahas said: The breaking of these idols augurs well for the establishment of the Tauhid [Oneness] of God Almighty, for which I pray day and night. The Promised Messiahas said: It also appears from this revelation that I had received: جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ [Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. ] that some idols are about to be broken because in the Holy Quran also this verse alludes to the breaking of idols and the victory of Islam.
