Thirtieth Prophecy 135 Thirtieth Prophecy This prophecy is written on page 515 of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya , 1 and it says: َ ا ہّٰللُّٰ مَا تَقَدَّم َ مِن ْ ذَنْبِك َ وَمَا تَاَخَّرَ. َغْفِرَلَك ي ِّ ْنًا ل ي اِنَّـا فَتَحْنَا لَك َ فَتْحًا مُّبِ َ ا ہّٰللُّٰ مَا تَقَدَّم َ مِن ْ ذَنْبِك َ وَمَا تَاَخَّرَ. َغْفِرَلَك ي ِّ ْنًا ل ي اِنَّـا فَتَحْنَا لَك َ فَتْحًا مُّبِ We will grant you a clear victory so that We may forgive your shortcomings, past and future. This metaphor has been used to express His acceptance of me. For example, it may happen, due to some hidden reasons, that a master deals with some servant of his in a manner which gives the impression to foolish ones that the master is upset with him. Thus, in order to remove that misunderstanding and to restore his servant’s respect, the master’s sense of jealousy [in point of love or honour] is kindled such that he gives expression to his satisfaction by doing something for his servant that amounts to him forgiving all his servant’s sins, past and future. That is, he shows such satis- faction with his servant that the people become convinced that such a benefactor will never ever be upset with his servant again. This is a magnificent prophecy. Then after this, on the same page, [it is written that] a photo- graph is shown, and it is of this humble one, in green attire. The picture was very majestic, like that of a victorious commander laced with armaments. On the right and left of the picture were inscribed the words: 1.
