Rest assured, therefore, that as earthquakes have shaken America and Europe, so will they shake Asia<strong>. Some of<\/strong> them will resemble the Day of Doom. So many people shall die that rivulets of blood shall flow. Even the bird and the beasts will not be immune to this death. Havoc shall sweep the surface of the earth which shall be the greatest since the birth of man. Habitations shall be demolished as if no one had ever lived in them. This will be accompanied by many other terrible calamities which the earth and the heavens will send forth, till their extraordinary nature will become evident to every reasonable man. All the literature on science and philosophy shall fail to show their like. Then mankind shall be sorely distressed and wonder what is going to happen. Many shall escape and many perish. The days are near, in fact, I can see them close at hand when the world shall witness a terrible sight; not only earthquakes, but also many fearsome calamities shall overtake man, some from the skies, and some from the earth. This will happen because mankind has stopped worshipping their true God and have become lost in their affairs of the world with all their heart and their effort and their intent. If I had not come these afflictions would perhaps have been delayed a little. But with my coming the secret purposes of an affronted God which were hidden so far, became manifest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Says\nGod: <em>\u2018We never punish until We send a Messenger\u2019.<\/em>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who repent shall find security and those who fear before calamity overtakes them shall be shown mercy. Do you think you will be immune to these calamities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or can you save yourselves through artifice or design? Indeed not. That day all human schemes shall fail. Think not that earthquakes visited America and other continents but that your own country shall remain secure. Indeed, you may experience severe hardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O\nEurope, You are not safe, and O Asia, you are not immune. I see Cities fall,\n&nbsp;and settlements laid waste. The One and the Only God kept silent for\nlong. Heinous deeds were done before His eyes. He said nothing. But now he\nshall reveal His face Majesty and Awe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\nhim who has ears hear that the time is not far. I have done my best to bring\nall under the protection of God, but it was destined that what was written\nshould come to pass <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truly\ndo I say that the turn of this land, too, is approaching fast. The time of Noah\nshall reappear before your eyes, and your own eyes will be witnesses to the\ncalamity that overtook the cities of Lot. But God is slow in his Wrath. Repent\nthat you may be shown mercy! He who does not fear Him is dead, not alive.\u201d\n(Haqiqathul Wahi \u2013 pp: 256, 257). &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: The time of Noah refers to the people who rejected Prophet Noah \u2013 and had become lost in the affairs of the world, punished by God with mighty floods. Similarly Prophet Lot \u2013 the people who rejected him <\/em>and extremely had the foul practice of sodomy \u2013 because, they were punished by God through devastating<em> earthquakes. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By A.
