Before the British Empire left India in 1874, there was a local collaborator by the name of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who would cause friction within the Muslim Ummah. When the British were made to leave India, a new problem remained that would cause Muslims to be deceived and result in them leaving the faith of Islam. All knew if the Muslim Ummah were to be one, they would easily focus on propagating Islam for the world to benefit.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad preached a new false religion and tried to lure people by mischievously calling it Islam when in fact it was not and is not Islam. Mirza's false religion is self-named the Ahmadiyya Movement and referred to as Ahmadism/Qadianism by the whole of the Muslim Ummah, who declare Ahmadis as non-Muslims. In fact, the Jewish and Christian religions have more in common with Islam in belief than Qadianism.
The Qadianis have caused an incredible amount of fitnah amongst the Muslims, and they have led many people astray.
The open and direct method of examining Qadianism consists of four fundamental principles:
First
It is essential for a prophet to respect and to hold in high esteem all the prophets before him. However, we find that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad twisted the meaning of the Quranic Ayat, “Ismuhu Ahmad,” to his favor, claiming himself to be a prophet. Now if he was a true prophet, as he claimed to be, then he would not insult any prophet, but he insulted Prophet Eesa (peace be upon him) (Jesus) and committed blasphemy. He leveled three charges against Eesa alaihis salaam:
-
He used to drink
-
He had perfume applied to his hair by two men of ill-repute and obtained by them through their unclean income
-
Unrelated young women served him
Whoever has an iota of faith in his heart will never make these horrendous allegations. Such a person cannot be called a believer. A question arises: Why did Mirza Ghulam Ahmad write such things about Eesa (peace be upon him)?
The answer to this is that one of the signs of Qiyamat will be that Hadhrat Eesa (peace be upon him) will descend to the earth, and he will kill the Dajjal (Antichrist). Since Mirza was claiming to be the Promised Messiah, it was important that he attempted to make his character appear more noble than that of Eesa (peace be upon him). So, to bring down the dignity of Eesa (peace be upon him) and increase his following, he made these allegations.
Second
It is impossible for a genuine prophet of Allah to tell a lie in support of his prophethood. Mirza writes in Arba‘een No. 3, Page [ref]:
“Maulana Ghulam Dastgir Kasuri in his book and Maulvi Ismail of Aligarh made a positive declaration about me that if I am an imposter (or a liar), I will die before them—and I will surely die before them because I am an imposter. But after they had published these books they themselves died in a short space of time.”
What Mirza said in the above passage is totally untrue, because the aforementioned Maulvis had no books produced.
Third
Mirza made a number of prophecies. He said about these prophecies that if each one did not come out to be true, then he was a liar. However, most of them proved to be false. It was a great favor of Allah Ta’ala that they did not materialize. From the Quran we know that after the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there will be no more prophets, so Mirza’s claim would not have made any difference. But thanks to Allah, he proved all his major prophecies wrong.
Examples:
-
One of his prophecies was the death of a Christian, Abdullah Atham. He fixed a date of ten months: from 5th June 1893 to 5th September 1894. Abdullah, then 70 years old and weak, was expected to die, but Allah revealed Mirza’s falsehood, and Abdullah lived another twenty years.
-
Another prophecy was his proposed marriage to Mohammadi Begum. Her father disliked the idea of marrying her to Mirza and instead arranged her marriage to Sultan Muhammad. So Mirza prophesied:
If she marries Sultan, he will die within 2 to 2½ years, her father within three years, and Mohammadi Begum, now a widow, will marry Mirza.
By Allah’s grace, none of these prophecies took place.
Fourth
A prophet can never be a spy of a government. But Mirza Ghulam Ahmad proudly declares in a book:
“The favours of the British Government have been upon my family since the days of my father, Mirza Ghulam Murtaza.”
Conclusion
The conclusion of these passages is that even if the chain of prophethood had not finished, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad could not have been called a prophet, based on the four points mentioned.
May Allah keep us all safe from evil and always keep us on the correct path! Ameen.
