A poem written in 1905 by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad has resurfaced amid fears it foretells a modern global catastrophe, with some interpreting it as a warning of World War III.

The poem describes massive earthquakes, widespread destruction, rivers of blood, and ominous events in the sky, which believers link to current global tensions involving Russia and the West.

Ahmad, founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam, claimed divine revelations and warned repeatedly of catastrophic events following humanity’s rejection of a divine messenger.

Scholars and followers remain divided, with some saying the prophecy referred to past events such as World War I or major earthquakes in India rather than present-day conflicts, the Daily Mail has reported.

Interest in the poem has grown again in 2026 as the Doomsday Clock remains at a record 89 seconds to midnight, heightening anxiety about global instability.
