90. Survival Of A Six-Month Old Girl
The respected Maulavi has narrated that approximately thirty years ago, there was such powerful earthquake in Quetta, Balochistan (which is a part of Pakistan now), that the whole city was destroyed and around seventy-five thousand people were killed. A six-month-old baby girl of Mirza Muhammad Sharif, son of Mirza Muhammad Taqi, was sleeping in a cradle at the time of the quake.
After one week, the British regime ordered that all bodies recovered, be they Muslim, Hindu or others, should be placed together and cremated.
The child 's mother (Zumarrad, daughter of Rajah Ali) said to her husband to go to the site of their house and bring out the body of her girl, so that it may not be cremated with bodies of infidels.
When that place was dug up, it was seen that two iron girders had bent over the cradle, due to which the debris from the ceiling did not fall on the girl, and she was sucking at a chunk of mortar; although a part of her forehead was wounded by plaster. Since the girl is still alive, the scar of that wound is still visible on her forehead. Her family is related to us.
