“He will convert 3 into 4”
Before I describe how Sayyadna Abdul Ghaffar Janbahؑ has fulfilled the sign “He will convert 3 into 4” I
would like to mention here the prophecy of 20th February 1886 i.e. prophecy Ghulam Massihuzaman, it is
also known as Prophecy Musleh Muad, which is as follow;
“I confer upon thee a Sign of My mercy according to thy supplications. I have heard thy entreaties and have
honoured thy prayers with My acceptance through My mercy and have blessed this thy journey. A Sign of
power, mercy, nearness to Me is bestowed on thee, a Sign of grace and beneficence is awarded thee and thou
art granted the key of success and victory. Peace on thee, O victorious one. Thus does God speak so that
those who desire may be rescued from the grip of death and those who are buried in the graves may emerge
therefrom and so that the superiority of Islam and the dignity of God’s word may become manifest unto the
people and so that truth may arrive with all its blessings and falsehood may depart with all its ills, and so
that people may understand that I am the Lord of Power, I do whatever I will, and so that they may believe
that I am with thee, and so that those who do not believe in God and deny and reject His religion and His
Book and His Holy Messenger Muhammad, the Chosen One (on whom be peace ) may be confronted with
a clear Sign and the way of the guilty ones may become manifest.
Rejoice, therefore that a handsome and pure boy will be bestowed on thee. Thou wilt receive a virtuous and
pure youth (boy). That boy will be of thy seed and will be of thy progeny. A handsome and pure boy will
come as your guest. His name is Emmanuel and Bashir, He has been invested with a holy spirit, and he will
be free from all impurity. He is the light of Allah. Blessed is he who comes from heaven.
1
He will be accompanied by grace which will arrive with him. He will be characterised with grandeur, greatness and wealth. He will come into the world and will heal many of their disorders through his Messianic
qualities and through the blessings of the Holy Spirit. He is the Word of Allah for Allah’s mercy and honour have equipped him with the Word of Majesty. He will be extremely intelligent and understanding and
will be meek of heart and will be filled with scientific and philosophic knowledge. He will convert 3 into 4
(of this the meaning is not clear). It is Monday a blessed Monday. Son, Delight of the heart high ranking
noble; a manifestation of the First and the Last, a manifestation of the Truth and the Supreme; as if Allah
has descended from heaven. His advent will be greatly blessed and will be a source of manifestation of Divine Majesty. Behold a light cometh, a light anointed by God with the perfume of His pleasure. We shall
pour Our sprit into him and he will be sheltered under the shadow of God. He will grow rapidly in stature
and will be the means of procuring the release of those held in bondage. His fame will spread to the ends of
the earth and peoples will be blessed through him. He will then be raised to his spiritual station in heaven.
This is a matter decreed. (Tadhkirah p. 85)
In above mentioned revealed prophecy of 20th February 1886, Allah the most High has described absolute,
knowledge based and central signs of Zaki Ghulam (Musleh Maud) in the followings words;
“He will be extremely intelligent and understanding and will be meek of heart and will be filled with scientific and philosophic knowledge. He will convert 3 into 4 (of this the meaning is not clear). It is Monday a
blessed Monday. Son, Delight of the heart high ranking noble; a manifestation of the First and the Last, a
manifestation of the Truth and the Supreme; as if Allah has descended from heaven.”
Sayyadna Abdul Ghaffar Janbahؑ has written a book “Virtue is God” which is a divine theory or Supreme
Ultimate Universal theory or mother of all theories. It is called divine theory because it discloses the essence
of God Almighty. This theory was revealed to him. In this divine theory God Almighty has fulfilled all the
central signs of being Musleh Maud in his person. This book can be downloaded from
http://alghulam.com/upload/books/VIRTUE_is_GOD.pdf. Nazir Haqq writes about it in Daily Newspaper
“Pakistan”;
“Virtue is God” is a philosophical writing of Abdul Ghaffar Janbah. In this book, structured in three topics:
the Essence of Virtue, Virtue is Knowledge and Virtue is God, he proves in perfection that “Virtue is God”
The author says that Muslims and Muslim thinkers have studied the Holy Quran in the light of Greek Philosophy although the Holy Quran is a great and complete Divine book and every sort of welfare is founded
in it. Therefore it had been necessary that we would have studied Greek and all other sorts of philosophies
in the light of Holy Quran and would have chosen pearls of Knowledge and Wisdom out of It. The author
discusses different kinds of philosophies, different schools of thought and their concerns. Moreover he replies the most subtle and difficult question “What is Virtue?” In this regard he provides opinions of some
ancient and non-Muslim philosophers. He discusses them in his own style and proves that Virtue is an “All
2
Comprehending Light’, Infinite and Allah. What the author discusses and how he proves that “Virtue is
God”, is very excellent…”
(Nazir Haqq, Daily Newspaper. Pakistan. (Urdu), Sunday Magazine “Zandgi”, 22nd August to 28th August
2004)
Before I go to your question, let’s see what was the understanding of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadؑ about
this sign “He will convert 3 into 4” that is mentioned in the prophecy of 20th February 1886? About it
Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadؑ says that “of this the meaning is not clear”. But in year 1883, heؑ received a
revelation which was similar to this sign, as heؑ writes in Ruhani Khazine, volume 18, on page 574 ‫ ر‬
"‫وا رک‬
"
translation: “Mubarak who will convert 3 into 4” Hadhurؑ says in explanation of this revelation
that Allah the most High will give him four (4) sons from his second wife Hadhrat Nusrat Jahan Begum
and the name of fourth son will be Mubarak. When this fourth son was born Hadhurؑ by way of good omen
gave him the name Mubarak. At the birth of his son Mubarak Ahmad heؑ says;
(1) “And my 4th son whose name is Mubarak Ahmad, about it prophecy was made in the announcement of
20th February 1886” (Ruhani Khazine, volume 15, page 221)
(2) “Look a time was that when this statement was written on page 15of Zamima Anjam-e-Aatham; There
is another revelation that was published on 20th February 1886 and i.e. this, God will convert three into four.
That time there was no sign of these three sons who are now present. And the meaning of this revelation
was this that there will be three sons. And then there will be another who will convert three into four. So a
big part of it has been fulfilled. That is God has given me three sons from this wedding, three of them are
present. Only one is awaited who will convert three into four, now look how great sign is it? (Ruhani
Khazine, volume 15, pp. 222-223)
(3) “Therefore gentlemen that day has come and that forth boy whose promise was given four times in these
books has born on Wednesday the 4th, fourth day of Safar 1317 hijri. It is amazing that the number four is
linked with this boy from every point of view. About him four prophecies happened. He was born on 4th of
Safar 1317 Hijri. His birth day was 4th day of week i.e. Wednesday. He was born after the noon on 4th hour.
He himself was fourth. (Ruhani Khazine, volume 15, pp. 223)
From these references it is evident that Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadؑ has applied the divine prophecy
Ghulam Massihuzam i.e. prophecy Musleh Maud (revelation 20th February 1886) on his fourth son Mubarak Ahmad and considered the fulfillment of the sign “He will convert 3 into 4” as mentioned above. But
Allah the most High called him back in his young age and after his death Allah the most High has given
Hadhurؑ the good news of another son who will be in place of Mubarak Ahmad, such as it is evident from
the revelation of October 1907.
3
Translation: We give you good news of a gentle son. He will descend in place of Mubarak. Felicitations to
you, O Saqi, on the coming of the festival (Tadhkira pp. 875)
In this way the prophecy of Ghulam Massihuzaman i.e. prophecy Musleh Maud was passed on to another
son of Hadhurؑ who will come in place of Mubarak Ahmad, as it is further evident from the following
revelation;
“I saw a pit full of water in my dream. Mubarak Ahmad entered it and was drowned. A thorough search
was made but no trace of him was found. Then I walked along and saw another boy sitting in his stead.”
(Tadhkira pp. 870)
After Mubarak Ahmad, no son was born to Hadhurؑ. In this way, it become evident that this prophecy
Ghulam Massihuzaman i.e. prophecy Musleh Maud (revelation 20th February 1886) is about a spiritual Zaki
Ghulam of Hadhurؑ as it was mentioned in the prophecy that “a Zaki Ghulam (boy) will be given” who will
be his fifth but spiritual son.
Hadhrat Abdul Ghaffar Janbahؑ received revelation of appointment as Ghulam Massihuzaman i.e. Musleh
Maud in mid December 1983. In this revelation Allah the most High informed him that he is that Zaki
Ghulam, who was promised to Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadؑ in the prophecy of 20th February 1886. Now
I come to your question that how heؑ has shown the sign of converting 3 into 4.
Iqbal Mogral Sahib! Sayyadna Abdul Ghaffar Janbahؑ during writing his great philosophical theory “Virtue is
God”, has fulfilled all the central signs specified in the prophecy of 20th February 1886 including “He will
convert 3 into 4” but the objective of his great philosophical writing is much higher than just converting 3
into 4. As mentioned earlier the objective of his philosophical writing is to prove that Virtue is God. About
the definition of Virtue heؑ has written that it is “Supreme Ultimate Universal Truth” and these words were
revealed to him.
Now the question comes in mind is that what does it mean? Iqbal Mogral Sahib! Every thing that belongs to
this universe whether it is physical or metaphysical or evens the whole universe is not “Supreme Ultimate
Universal Truth”. It is a phenomenon and it can be defined as a specific expression or manifestation of “Supreme Ultimate Universal Truth”. These phenomena emerge; undergo different sorts of changes and finally
decay and finish while the Supreme Truth which occupies the whole universe and is the sole end of human
life, is the only Truth or Reality. This Supreme Truth is neither material or immaterial rather it is philosophical Truth and is above physical and metaphysical truths. It has created every thing but itself is above
creation. Its light makes things visible while It is invisible. It is the First and the Last. It is manifest everywhere and yet hidden. Iqbal Mogral Sahib! Sayyadan Abdul Ghaffar Janbahؑ has given us a new theory
which is “Law of conservation of Virtue”. According to this theory it is Virtue which is immortal every thing
else is transitory and mortal or just illusion. He has not only given us new theory but also proved that scien-
4
tific law of conservation of matter is wrong and there is no reality in it. Sayyadna Musleh Maud Hadhrat
Abdul Ghaffar Janbahؑ writes in his book “Virtue is God”;
“It has been already mentioned that phenomena, whether, physical or metaphysical are transitory and mortal. Since matter is phenomenon; therefore it is also mortal. But according to the scientific law of conservation, matter has been considered immortal. What is true about matter? Is it mortal or not? Let's first observe, what does mortality mean? When something does not maintain its existence (form and qualities), then
what we will say about it? Certainly it is perished. For example, when a table is broken into pieces, then, it
loses its existence and does not remain table. Later on, when wooden pieces are burned away, then, these
also lose their existence. In this process, do table and wooden pieces not perish? During chemical actions,
such conversion often takes place. Hereupon, someone can point out that such conversion is a mere change
of form and during such processes, matter remains immortal. According to Einstein's formula E=mc2, matter is converted into energy and light. Can energy and light be named as matter? According to this equation,
does mortality of matter not take place? Energy, light, ether, etc., all are metaphysical phenomena and like
physical phenomena, these are also mortal. The process of mortality ends in Virtue which is Immortal. So
there is not any validity in the conservation of matter or energy because immortality entirely belongs to Virtue.” (Virtue is God, page 26).
Iqbal Mogral Sahib! Let’s move on to your question, Sayyanda Musleh Maudؑ says that during his education
he studied Natural Science and that he was not an ordinary student rather he was position holder. Heؑ says
that during his education he studied “Law of conservation of matter” and “three states of matter”. During
this period of education he never even thought in dream that these both theories are wrong. If any question
about these theories were asked during educational examination, so he answered in the same manner as it
was written in the educational books or as their teachers taught them. Iqbal Mogral Sahib! Sayyadna Musleh
Maudؑ mentioned in his book that to know the reality of the “Virtue” and “Knowledge” in a blessed Prostration (Sajda) when he read some divine supplications of Hadhrat Mahdi & Massih Maudؑ about the attainment of knowledge. Among these supplications one supplication was this that “O my creator! Show me all
your lights that are surrounding the universe.” Heؑ says that due to the acceptance of this prayer Allah the
most High told him that virtue i.e. knowledge is “Supreme Ultimate Universal Truth” This is that Light
which is surrounding the whole universe. Similarly heؑ read another supplication that is “O my creator! Show
me the realities of things” Heؑ says that when he started writing under the topic of “Virtue and phenomenon”
then due the acceptance of this supplication Allah the most High told him through revelation that these
both (law of conservation of matter and three states of matter) theories are wrong.
Iqbal Mogral Sahib! Sayyadna Musleh Maudؑ says that every physical phenomenon is found in some specific
state. He says that during his educational period he studied about these states of matter that these are three.
But when during writing divine Theory “Virtue is God” heؑ was writing about the states of matter. Then
5
Allah the most High gave him hint that “Abdul Ghaffar ponder over these states of matter. These states of
matter are not three rather four” Due to this hint heؑ reexamine these states of matter then it was proved that
these states of matter are in fact not three rather four. (1) Solid (2) Soliq (3) Liquid & (4) Gas, heؑ described
these states of phenomenon as follow;
(1) Solid: In this state, phenomenon maintains both its shape and volume. Stone, iron and wood are its
common examples.
(2) Soliq: In this state, phenomenon maintains its volume and to some extent its shape. Sand and all powders are instances of this state.
(3) Liquid: In this state, phenomenon maintains its volume but not its shape. Oil, milk and water are common examples of this state.
(4) Gas: In this state, phenomenon does neither maintain its volume nor its shape. Often there is a large
distance among the molecules or atoms of gaseous phenomena and these moves freely wherever they find
vacuum. Due to their independent and irregular motion, the volume and shape of gaseous phenomena always keep on changing. Oxygen, hydrogen and the like are instances of this state.
Iqbal Mogral Sahib! How gracefully Allah the most High has fulfilled this sign “He will convert 3 into 4” by
Sayyadna Musleh Maud Hadhrat Abdul Ghaffar Janbahؑ that no scientist, philosopher, religious scholar or
any ordinary person can deny it. It is a fact that will have to be accepted. In fact the reality is Allah the most
High has fulfilled in his person all absolute, knowledge based and central signs of being Zaki Ghulam i.e.
Musleh Maud by his book “Virtue is God”. This divine theory is ultimate and undeniable and is evident on
his being extraordinarily intelligent and understanding and having been given great understating of scientific
and philosophic knowledge. In the end I pray my Allah the most High enables you to understand realities.
Yours Sincerely,
Mansoor Ahmed
