"He [Jesus] is a Sign of the Hour [of Resurrection]. Have no doubt about it." Surat az-Zukhruf 43:61
"What are they awaiting but for the Hour to come upon them suddenly? Its Signs have already come. What good will their Reminder be to them when it does arrive? (Qur'an, 47:18)As the above verse indicates, God has revealed some of Doomsday's signs in the Qur'an. In Surat az-Zukhruf 43:61, God informs us that "He [Jesus] is a Sign of the Hour. Have no doubt about it..." Thus we can say, based particularly on Islamic sources but also on the Old Testament and the New Testament, that we are living in the End Times." - Harun Yahya
Surah 43.61
61. And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way.
62. Let not the Evil One hinder you: for he is to you an enemy avowed.
63. When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: "Now have I come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which ye dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey me.
64. "For Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord: so worship ye Him: this is a Straight Way."
65. But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement: then woe to the wrong-doers, from the Penalty of a Grievous Day!
66. Do they only wait for the Hour - that it should come on them all of a sudden, while they perceive not?
67. Friends on that day will be foes, one to another,- except the Righteous.
68. My devotees! no fear shall be on you that Day, nor shall ye grieve,-
69. (Being) those who have believed in Our Signs and bowed (their wills to Ours) in Islam.
70. Enter ye the Garden, ye and your wives, in (beauty and) rejoicing.
71. To them will be passed round, dishes and goblets of gold: there will be there all that the souls could desire, all that their ayes could delight in: and ye shall abide therein (for eye).
72. Such will be the Garden of which ye are made heirs for your (good) deeds (in life).
73. Ye shall have therein abundance of fruit, from which ye shall have satisfaction.
Surah 43:61-73 Az-Zukhruf (Ornaments Of Gold, Luxury)
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989.
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary sign means "a discernible indication of
what is not itself directly perceptible. Sign applies to any indication to be perceived by the senses or
the reason." Thus Surat az-Zukhruf 43:61 indicates that the Resurrection, which is already
taking place, is not perceptible to most humans. The only way the commencement of the Resurrection
can be perceived is either by the senses (feeling the
Nafas al Rachman, the breath of the Merciful i.e.,
Winds of Qiyamah
flowing from the body - especially the hands, top of head and legs) or by reason (confirming with heart, mind and soul the
declaration of the General Resurrection (Al-Qiyamah)
to all humankind), or far better by both sense and reason. That is exactly why the Holy Qur'an warns that most humans
will be unaware that is the Resurrection is taking place
(surah 30:55-60 Al Rum),
and that includes most Muslims!
So what is the Ummah awaiting but for the Hour of Doomsday to come upon them suddenly? The Signs that the End is approaching have already come.
What good will the Reminder that Al-Qiyamah—Al Qadr (Night Of Power And Fate)—has begun be for them when Doomsday—Al Qari'ah (The Day Of Noise And Clamour)—does suddenly arrive? What good will be the grace period of His Mercy, Al Qadr (Night Of Power And Fate), be when His Wrath, Al Qari'ah (The Day Of Noise And Clamour), suddenly descends on all mankind?
Do they only wait for the Hour ofAl Qari'ah (The Day Of Noise And Clamour) that it should come on them all of a sudden, while they perceive not Al Qadr (Night Of Power And Fate)?
The prophecies of the Holy Koran are devastatingly precise and will run their course! Those Muslims reading these lines
are forewarned, in no uncertain terms, that those disputing the Great News that the Resurrection has commenced will
soon find that out when they stand before Allah (SWT) and be judged for their disbelief (since they are literally
waiting for 'graves to open up', a centuries-old misconception):
But to all who believe, no fear shall be on you that Day, nor shall ye grieve, being among those who have believed in His Signs and bowed their wills in submission to the Great News of the Resurrection! Jesus indeed is the Sign of the Hour. Have no doubt about it as we are indeed living in the End Times.
THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE MESSIAH
INTRODUCTION
Prophets and Messengers have been sent to all nations throughout history to teach the core concepts of the same religion: to believe in the one and only God, to abandon idolatry, to live and do good deeds only for God's good pleasure, to have faith in God and to seek His help alone, and to be virtuous. The principles of faith that they have taught to humanity have always been the same, despite some slight differences in practical matters according to place and time. For instance, Jesus (peace be upon him)1 did not bring a different religion, and the religion revealed to Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed (may God bless him and grant him peace), the last prophet, is the same. (In other words, the Torah sent to Moses and the Gospel sent to Jesus as guiding lights for people, have been tampered over time and so are no longer true to their respective original revelations.2) In one verse, God tells believers not to distinguish between revealed religions:
Say: "We believe in God and what has been sent down to us; what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes; and what Moses, Jesus, and all the Prophets were given by their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. We are Muslims submitted to Him." (Qur'an, 3:84)
Another verse reveals the following:
He has laid down the same religion for you as He enjoined on Noah, that which We have revealed to you and which We enjoined upon Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: "Establish the religion and do not make divisions in it." What you call the idolaters to follow is very hard for them. God chooses for Himself anyone He wills and guides to Himself those who turn to Him. (Qur'an, 42:13)
Our Lord, Who has sent His religion to all nations, has cautioned all of their inhabitants through those He honored by choosing as Prophets. Every human being who has received the call to the true religion will be held accountable for how he or she responded to it.
The lives of God's chosen Messengers contain many messages and lessons for all people, especially when we study their encounters, their troubles, and their great struggles. The Qur'an cites Jesus as an example for people to follow, because of how he conducted his life and his struggle, and because of his great virtue.
Jesus' birth, life, and ascension to God's presence are all miracles that the Qur'an reveals in some detail. Although God reveals the narratives of many Prophets, Jesus, whom God supported with superior wisdom, is set apart from the others in several aspects, among them that he spoke even in the cradle, and that he was the vehicle for countless miracles while he was in this world. That his status is different also can be deduced from the fact that he was raised to God's presence and that the Qur'an indicates strongly his second coming.
The book seeks to analyze Jesus' life and struggle, as well as his virtue and character, closely and to spread the good news of his second coming in light of the relevant Qur'anic verses and hadiths (the sayings and teachings of the Prophet Mohammed). Our Lord gives important signs about Jesus and the future (the time between the Qur'an's revelation and the Day of Judgment) in the Qur'an, and the Prophet Mohammed (may God bless him and grant him peace) revealed much good news about him. The valuable information about Jesus' great struggle after his second coming, provided by the renowned Islamic scholar Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (1877-1960), is a glad tiding for all readers and should increase their excitement and lift their morale. All of this, as we said previously, shows that Jesus' creation was miraculous and that his life continued to be full of miracles.
While reading this book, the reader will come to know of his miraculous life and realize that we live in a very special time. One purpose of this work, besides drawing attention to an important miracle revealed in the Qur'an, is to say a "practical" prayer in the hope of being present when Jesus, a praised Messenger who is lauded in the Qur'an many times, returns to this world. Given that his second coming will be an extraordinary, miraculous, and metaphysical event that will affect the whole world, all believers should prepare and mobilize to welcome him in the best possible way. The excitement, love, and morale invested in these preparations will be an actual prayer, and those who do not prepare will feel great remorse when he returns. All of the signs indicate that the second coming will take place soon, so there is no time to waste.
Harun Yahya, The Glad Tidings of the Messiah
http://www.harunyahya.com/
HE [JESUS] IS A SIGN OF THE HOUR [OF RESURRECTION].
"Many portents revealed in the Qur'an and the Prophetic hadiths, as
well as various statements made by Islamic scholars, indicate that
Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) return is drawing nigh. In addition, the Bible
contains information about the period before Doomsday and Prophet
Jesus' (pbuh) second coming. All of the events related in these
sources indicate this blessed event's nearness.
SIGNS OF THE LAST DAY
What are they awaiting but for the Hour to come upon them suddenly?
Its Signs have already come. What good will their Reminder be to them
when it does arrive? (Qur'an, 47:18)
As the above verse indicates, God has revealed some of Doomsday's
signs in the Qur'an. In Surat az-Zukhruf 43:61, God informs us
that "He [Jesus] is a Sign of the Hour. Have no doubt about it..."
STATEMENTS IN THE TORAH AND THE BIBLE
So far, we have only looked at the Islamic sources, which contain a
great deal of information about the End Times. No matter how
corrupted their texts may be, however, the Torah and the Bible still
contain some good news about Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) return. Even if we
cannot be completely sure of their accuracy, it is useful to bear in
mind those that are compatible with the Qur'an and the prophetic
hadiths, for there is a strong likelihood that all such statements
that are compatible with those in the Islamic sources have kept their
original form.
The name of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) does not appear in the Old
Testament, although we are told that a savior, a Messiah, will come
from the line of Prophet David (pbuh). The Jews refused to accept
that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was sent to the Children of Israel, and so
rejected him. Thus, they are still waiting for their "Messiah-savior"
to come. Moreover, the Old Testament also contains some references to
the End Times.
The New Testament, on the other hand, contains a great many
statements on these subjects, especially of the second coming of
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and its signs. These statements describe the
natural events that will mark the times before and after his second
coming. Most of the portents are set out in some detail in the
prophetic hadiths as coming about in our day in a more striking
manner than in any earlier time. It is important to realize that not
just one or two of the signs are appearing in our day, but that just
about all of them, one after the other, are doing so. Thus we can
say, based particularly on Islamic sources but also on the Old
Testament and the New Testament, that we are living in the End Times."
THE SIGNS FROM THE ISLAMIC RESOURCES
Harun Yahya, Jesus Will Return
www.jesuswillreturn.com/signs/signs_index.html
"In between Jesus Christ and His destroying Incarnation of Mahavishnu called as Kalki there is a time given to human beings to rectify themselves, for them to enter into the Kingdom of God, which in the Bible is called as Last Judgment.
The population of the Earth is at the maximum these days because all those - practically all those who had aspirations to enter into the Kingdom of God - are born in Modern Times and are going to be born very soon. This is the most important times because Sahaja Yoga is the Last Judgment. It is fantastic to hear this but that's the fact. It's the Truth!
Though you can understand that Mother's Love makes it very easy for you to get to your Realization and that the whole story of Last Judgment - which looks such a horrifying experience - has been made very beautiful, and very tender, and delicate, and does not disturb you."

"People do not know what Time has come. It is the Last Chance. You won't get anymore chance. In Bible it has been described as the Last Judgment."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Delhi, India - August 18, 1979
A day will come when humans will not be interested in God and His Resurrection anymore. That is the time when Lord Jesus will appear to annihilate those bent on pursuing wicked ways and beyond redemption. That will be the dreaded Second Coming.
But "before the great day of the Lord shall come" humans will be given a chance to redeem themselves and evolve themselves into higher beings. This is the Night of Power (surah 97:1-5 Al Qadr) that will last for decades, perhaps even centuries.
At present there are hundreds of millions of God-fearing beings looking for His Sure Signs (Bayyinat). There are just as many that have become disillusioned by the falsehood, hype, and hypocrisy of the organized cults, and have left them. There are, again, just as many who have become captives of blind faith, completely unaware of the depth of deception of these religious regimes. Brainwashed Christians, Muslim fundamentalists and Jewish zealots are waiting for graves to rapture open, zombies to emerge, ordinary humans to shriek and freak, and billions of beings to be barbecued in His fearsome Fire.
Given the deep divisions, hatred and enmity between religious institutions, each trumpeting their own exclusive salvation theories, it is inconceivable that the Almighty Creator will act without warning and massacre most of His Human Family. This is precisely what the fear mongering institutionalized religions believe He will do - not to their followers, but to all others. These religious regimes, after having cornered Allah into their Mosque, Church, Synagogue and Temple, are swearing they are the chosen ones!
Given the dire state of affairs Allah had to send His Spirit, backed by all the Holy Scriptures and Sure Signs (Bayyinat), to put things right. There had to be an explosion of Truth, the fulfillment of all prophecies, and the Declaration of Qiyamah to force humankind to make a choice. This has been done. Humans have to now confirm with their own faculties if these Revelations are indeed the Truth. If they believe so then they are to resurrect themselves spiritually through the Baptism of Allah within, and be judged whether they are eligible to enter His Kingdom. This is the precise meaning of the Great Announcement (surah 78:1-5 An-Naba) of Qiyamah as proclaimed by His Ruh Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
Judgment Day and the Resurrection are two different time frames. Resurrection (Al Qadr) is the Proclamation to all the nations of the Truth of His Kingdom, His Divine Unity, His Ultimate Reality (Al-Haqqah), and His Offer of Salvation. Judgment Day (al Qariah) is the Second Advent of Christ and the End Times when humans - completely devoid of divinity and desire for the Hereafter - are extinguished.
By falsely interpreting Qiyamah as Judgment Day the Thieves of Truth authorized themselves to defile and disfigure His Offer of Love, Mercy and Compassion. This satanic interpretation of Qiyamah has now severely, perhaps even irreversibly, retarded Muslim salvation. How are they going to accept something they were never preached. For centuries they have been indoctrinated that Qiyamah is Judgment Day when the 'dead will come out of the graves' to be judged. According to Allah Ruh the people of Adam have misunderstood this priceless parable.
But what about the billions of Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and others who have been cremated, their ashes spread all over Earth and washed into the seven seas? Are the Muslim scholars suggesting that half of the human race will not be resurrected because Allah made a terrible blunder? Truth is All-Pervading and cannot be subject to error, ambiguity or doubt. If it is then be assured that it is not Truth.
His Ruh has revealed that all souls will be reborn again again to face the Resurrection that will be known worldwide in this century and all humans, irrespective of race or religion, subject to it. The Muslims are the ones categorically told about Resurrection in the Qur'an for they are the most fanatical and, as the Qur'an predicts, will reject this Truth and stalk back to their families in full conceit (surah 75:33)! Even if they do not accept this Truth they still will be judged as Allah immediately curses them for their arrogance: "Woe to thee, yea, woe." (surah 75:34)
So be forewarned, deceived ones, be forewarned!
And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour:
Therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me:
This is a Straight Way.
Let not the Evil One hinder you: for he is to you an enemy avowed.
surah 43:61-2 Al Zukhruf (The Gold Adornments)
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989.)
"Thereafter, at the end of Kali-yuga, when there exist no discussion on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and honoured gentlemen . . . at that time the Lord will appear as the Supreme Chastiser."
Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 2, Ch. 7 Text 38
(A.C. B. Swami Prabhupada, Srimad Bhagavatam, BTT, 1987, p. 422.)
Worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse;
And he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True,
And in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns;
And he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
And his name is called the Word of God.
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
That with it he should smite the nations:
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron:
And he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness,
And wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

WA-LAA UQSIM BI-AN-NAFSAL-LAWWAAMAH
I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit.
Concerning what are they disputing?
Concerning the Great News. [5889]
About which they cannot agree.
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!
surah 78:1-5 Al Naba' (The Great News)
"5889. Great News: usually understood to mean the News or Message of the Resurrection."
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989.
Types of Kufr (Disbelief) — Adapted from 'Tafseer ibn Katheer'
1. Kufrul-'Inaad: Disbelief out of stubbornness;
2. Kufrul-Inkaar: Disbelief out of denial;
3. Kufrul-Kibr: Disbelief out of arrogance and pride;
4. Kufrul-Juhood: Disbelief out of rejection;
5. Kufrul-Nifaaq: Disbelief out of hypocrisy;
6. Kufrul-Kurh: Disbelief out of detesting any of Allah's commands;
7. Kufrul-Istihzaha: Disbelief due to mockery and derision;
8. Kufrul-I'raadh: Disbelief due to avoidance;
In Abdullah Yusuf Ali's commentary Kufr, Kafara, Kafir, and
derivative forms of the word imply a deliberate rejection of faith, revelation and truth of the Holy Qur'an:
"The culmination of Allah's Revelation is in the Qur'an, which confirms
previous scriptures, corrects the errors which men introduced into
them, and explains many points in detail for all who seek right
worship and service to Allah—whether they inherit the previous Books
or not. It is a universal Message ... The worst and most hardened
sinner is the man to whom Allah's Signs are actually brought home and
who yet prefers Evil and turns away from the Light of Allah. The
Signs may be in the words and guidance of a great Teacher or in some
sorrow or warning, but from which he deliberately refuses to profit.
The penalty—the Nemesis—must necessary come eventually."
According to Ibn Taymiyah (1263 – 1328) "kufr is
the attribute of everyone who rejects something that God has
commanded us to believe in, after news of that has reached him,
whether he rejects it in his heart without uttering it, or he speaks
those words of rejection without believing it in his heart, or he
does both; or he does an action which is described in the texts as
putting one beyond the pale of faith."
However, this explanation of kufr is most lucid and applicable to the sheer gravity, importance, and dire consequences of this universal Message of Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection):
"Just as faith for Muslims has to do not with believing but with knowing, so
kufr, rejection, is not a lack of belief, not an intellectual position that holds that something is
otherwise than is the case, and certainly it is not mere ignorance. Rather it, too, like its correlative iman, presupposes knowledge; for it is an active
repudiation of what one knows to be true. This is why it is a sin, and indeed a (the)
monstrous sin. It is the one final, cosmic (or some would say, the one final human) wrong;
the deliberate saying of 'no' to what one knows to be right." (Wilfred Cantwell Smith, On Understanding Islam: Selected Studies, 1981, page 154)
Therefore most of the Al-Kufr ul Akbar (major disbeliefs) are applicable to
those rejecting or disbelieving Allah's (SWT) Signs and surahs
upholding the collection, promulgation, recital, explanation and
warning of the following:
i) His Call to witness Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection);
ii) His Call to witness His Ruh (self-reproaching Spirit);
iii) His Call to heed Al Naba (The Great News);
iv) His Call to participate in Al Qadr (The Night of Power and Destiny);
v) His Call to confirm His Revelations, Signs, and Warnings (of i-iv).
Thus kaffir (non-believer) here is applied to all humankind,
both Muslim and non-Muslim, who reject the Call that God has commanded us
to believe in after His Revelations, Signs and Warnings have reached us.
The Qur'an clearly warns that many will disbelief, even mock, the
Great News and Sure Signs of Al-Qiyamah.
So be forewarned, and in the Hereafter never deny deliverance of this clear Warning:
"O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you
messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you My signs, and
warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" Qur'an 6.130
And those still rejecting, hesitant or unable to make up their minds even after hearing the Great News and shown the Signs,
Allah (SWT) questions: "Are they waiting until the Hour comes to them
suddenly? All the Signs thereof have already come. Once the Hour
comes to them, how will they benefit from their message?" "Why do
they not study the Quran carefully? Do they have locks on their
minds?" Qur'an 47:18-24
The last paragraph is yet another warning from Allah (SWT) that
prior to the Wrath of the End (Al Qariah) humans are offered the
Mercy of the Resurrection (Al Qadr). And once the Hour of Al Qariah
comes to them, how will they benefit from their contemporary message of Al Qadr i.e., from the Great News of the messengers from amongst you? How will those reading these lines benefit if they continue to doubt and wait, and the Striking Day comes suddenly?
What use then will be the Mercy and Compassion of Al Qadr (Night of Destiny) if the morn of the Al Qariah (Striking Day) ends His Peace?
Why doesn't the Ummah then not study the Quran with painstaking effort to avoid the errors, mistranslation and ignorance of the ulema that have presently paralyzed their minds from believing the Great News? Why don't they use their own mental faculties and intelligence to understand Al- Qiyamah, the heart and soul of the living, breathing Quran? Living and breathing because God Almighty is now talking directly to you through His Holy Book! After all, it is Allah (SWT) who has now called out to all Believers with this Decree: "I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit." He is specifically addressing you in particular (and Believers is general) to do so!
Only now in this modern age of universal education, mass media and publishing technology—after 14 centuries and unlike the illiterate past—is it possible to own and be sufficiently
literate to "study the Quran carefully" in languages they understand
best.* And just in case the Believers start studying the entire Qur'an, it
must be stressed that Allah (SWT) is referring specifically to those
eschatological Signs and surahs upholding His Call to bear witness of the
Resurrection! They must thoroughly examine and understand the Signs that have already manifested, and
set forth by messengers from amongst themselves.
Without question, to "study the Quran carefully" means using one's own mental faculties, not those of the ulema (Muslim clergy) who have
for centuries put "locks on their minds" and are the very reason for
the Ummah's present predicament i.e., their unprecedented kaffir-like mindset,
reaction, rejection and mocking of His Call, Signs and Great News of the Resurrection. They must know that during Al Qadr no 'graves are going to open up'
as this is His Night of Compassion and Mercy. So "Peace!... This until the rise of the morn!" (Quran 97:5)
"There is so much blind faith, there is so much of wrong ideas, so much of organizational fortresses they have built. All kinds of nonsensical things are going on in this world, but they'll all be finished."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Vienna, Austria, 8 June 1988
"We are now in the Blossom Time, as I call it, because many flowers are born and they are to become the fruits. This is the Resurrection Time, which is described in all the scriptures. But it’s not like this, the way they had described us. Something wrong with them that all the dead bodies who are in the graves will come out of the graves. I mean, how much is left out of them, God knows. Must be some bones or maybe some skulls there. So they’ll come out of the graves and they will get their Resurrection!!!? This is a very wrong idea.
Once I happened to meet a fellow, a Muslim from Bosnia and he told Me, "I want to die for my religion, for God’s sake." I said, "But why? Who told you to die?" He said, "Now, if I die in the name of God, I’ll be resurrected." I said, "It’s all wrong. That’s not the way it is going to work out. Resurrection is going to work out this way that at this time, all these souls will take their birth. All these souls will take their birth and they will be resurrected. As human beings they’ll have to come."
That’s why we find all kinds of funny people these days, all kinds of cruel, criminal, all kinds of idiotic, stupid, I mean very queer, weird, funny ideas which find such, such a variety of people and such a tremendous population that we should understand they have to have their chance of Resurrection. But how many will come? That’s the point. How many are going to come?"
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Philadelphia, USA — October 15, 1993
So Peace to all Believers bearing witness to the Resurrection (Al-Qiyamah)! So Peace to all Believers bearing witness to His self-reproaching Spirit (Ruh)! So Peace to all Believers resurrecting themselves during this blessed Night of Power and Destiny (Al Qadr)! So Peace to all Believers of the Great News (Al Naba)! So Peace until the dreadful morn of the Great Calamity, the Striking Day (Al Qariah) against the Unbelievers (Al-Kafirun)!
Last, but not the least, the Qur'an insists that ample warning of impending calamity must be always delivered by His messengers:
"That is because thy Lord would never destroy the cities unjustly, while their inhabitants were heedless." (Quran 6.131);
"Never did We destroy a population, but had its warners - By way of reminder; and We never are unjust." (Quran 26:208-209);
"And never did Thy Lord destroy the townships, till He had raised up in their mother-town a messenger reciting unto them Our revelations." (Quran 27:59);
This cardinal rule has been expressly complied with and Warning of the impending Great Calamity repeatedly announced and fearlessly upheld by the incarnation of His Ruh for more than three decades until Her retirement in 2008 at the age of 85. (Since Jesus is the mandatory Sign of the Hour [Quran 43:61], and as the Comforter promised and sent by God Almighty in Jesus' name, She has also ceaselessly glorified Christ and His Message of the Last Judgment.)
"I should do something to bring sense to these people (humanity). Something should happen to them otherwise what I see is a
complete disaster. It is going to happen. I do not want to frighten you
like Mrs Thatcher does about the Russians. That might be imaginary. But
this is real. I am warning you that the Disaster is going to come as destruction itself."

— "If your mother tongue is not Arabic, Satan (or his troops) will
encourage you to read the Quran in Arabic. Why does he do that?
Because he knows that you will not understand enough of it. The
majority of those who learn Arabic to study the Quran do not excel
enough to understand the implication or interpretation of certain
words when used in a special way in the Arabic language. They will
have a lot of shortcomings. Many Pakistani and Indian Muslims are
forced as children to read the Quran in Arabic and still as adults
read the Quran in Arabic but they do not understand a single word of
what they read... The Quran is a message, not just another beautiful
language book. If you cannot read it in Arabic do not wait until the
day you excel in your Arabic language, because this day may never
come. Trust God and know that He is the teacher of the Quran. He will
teach in any language and to any nationality, He created all things.
Read your Quran today, (do not wait any longer,) in any language that

QUOTES OF ALLAH'S (SWT) RUH SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI
"When the Work will be finished, when We will see that there is no more chance of having any more people in this line, Kalki will come down. Let us see how many will come in but there is also a limit of that... So be very careful. Be very, very careful. Today is the Day of Warning you because you have asked Me to talk about Kalki."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Kundalini And Kalki Shakti, Bombay, India - Sep. 28, 1979

ADDITIONAL QUOTES
"The Prophets of Allah are not sent to humour us with dialectics or satisfy the vulgar curiosity for miracles of dark unusual things. There is no "crookedness" (18:1) in their preaching. They come to preach the Truth - not in the abstract way, but with special reference to our conduct. They give us the good news of salvation lest we despair in the presence of Sin, and to warn us clearly of the dangers of Evil. Vain controversies about words only weaken their mission, or turn it into ridicule. The ungodly have a trick also of treating the earnest preaching to them as a jest and ridicule it."
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989, p. 724.
"Shri Kalki is the Redeemer and the Destroyer, the White Rider of the Christian and Hindu eschatologies, His Coming is actualised by Sahaja Yoga's implementation of collective consciousness on earth . . .The Rider is the Destroyer. That was made perfectly clear in the Gospels and the Kalki Purana. When He will come, He will neither argue or listen, neither save nor forgive. We should clearly understand one thing: HH Mataji is the Saviour because She is the compassionate One to grant us emancipation before the coming of Shri Kalki. She is the Comforter that Christ has promised. Therefore, all our attention should be on Her, on the Now, and on self-realsation that She grants. Shri Kalki is not to be expected now. We are not ready for Him. He is the beloved and most obedient Son of HH Mataji. He listens to Her and delays His coming because the Divine Mother wants us to get our realisation first."
Grégoire de Kalbermatten, The Advent
"A Muslim who does sinful acts is called fasiq. Fasiqs and all disbelievers will be tortured ('adhab) in their graves. These are certainly to be believed. After interment, the deceased will return to an unknown life and will be either at ease or in torture. As it was declared in hadith ash-Sharifs, two angels named munkar and nakir, in the guise of two unknown horrible people, will come to his grave and question him. Questions in the grave will be on some fundamentals of iman according to some scholars or on the whole of iman to some others. For this reason, we should teach our children the answers to the following questions: Who is your rabb (Allah)? What is your religion? Whose umma (which prophet's community) do you belong to? What is [the name of] your Holy Book? What is your qibla? What are your madhhabs in iman and in 'ibadat (or 'amal)? It is written in Tazkirat al-Qurtubi (54) that those who are not Ahl as-Sunnat will not be able to answer correctly. The graves of those who will give precise answers will enlarge and a window will be opened to Paradise. Every morning and every evening they will see their places in Paradise, and angels will do them favors and give them good news.
He who cannot answer precisely will be beaten with iron mallets so severely that every creature but mankind and genies will hear him cry out. His grave will become so tight that he will feel as if his bones would intertwine. A hole will be opened to Hell. In the morning and in the evening he will see his place in Hell. He will be tortured bitterly in his grave till the Resurrection.
It is necessary to believe in [the other] life after death. After the flesh and bones rot and turn into earth and gas, they will come together again; the souls will enter the bodies they belong to, and everybody will rise up from his grave. Therefore, this time is called the Day of Qiyama (Resurrection).(55)"

"The Quran has left many areas without detail and has omitted mention of certain other areas altogether. These are not, as the proponents of 'hadeeth' seem to think, oversights or shortcomings to be filled in by the Prophet through the rules laid down in his 'ahadeeth' and his 'sunna' so posterity might properly practice its religion. In fact these omissions are deliberate and are a mercy from God. God has left them for us to set down and review from time to time as obtaining conditions change. They are left deliberately flexible and are not meant to be fixed for all time by the 'sunna', as has actually happened, with the inevitable results manifest everywhere in the Islamic world. We are using rules that might have been good for the Seventh Century A.D. at the end of the Twentieth. Does it surprise anyone that we are backward? No one with a God given brain should wonder why!"
