1 THE DESCENT OF THE MESSIAH وَالنَّسَبُ ]God it is Who honoured you through your relationship as son-in-law and through your ancestry. ] The third was: بِكْرٌ وَ ثَيْبٌ . Meaning, “A virgin and a widow has been decreed for you. " I remember well that I had told Maulawi Muhammad Hussain of this revelation at his own home in Batala. It so happened that he asked me if I had received any fresh revelation, and I had told him about this one. No Date of Prophecy The Revelation that I have been graced with has disclosed to me these miraculous prophecies that have already ap- peared in the world, and thousands of witnesses attest to them, some of which have been mentioned here 27 1880- 1882 مُبَارِكْ وَمُبَارَكٌ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُبَارَكَ يُجْعَلُ فِيهِ وَمَنْ دَخَلَهُ كَانَ آمِنًا۔ Date Prophecy Fulfilled Fulfilled close to the time of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, page 559¹. Translation: "This Mosque is a source of blessings, and is blessed itself. In it will be performed every blessed deed, and whosoever enters it will be in peace. " There are three kinds of Signs in this revelation: (1) First, God Almighty has given the date of the Mosque's founding based on the numerical values of the letters; (2) Second, this prophecy states that the affairs of a large Movement will be carried out in this Mosque. As a consequence to date, thousands have undertaken the bai at of repentance in it. Hundreds of spiritual discourses are given in this Mosque, and it is here that the foundation for the writing of new books is laid. It is in this place that a large group of Muslims say their five daily Prayers, listen to sermons, and offer fervent supplications. At the time of the construction of this Mosque, none of these signs was present. (3) Third, this revelation foretells a future calamity, but also says that anyone who enters this Mosque with sincerity will the plague.
