In Islamic belief, it is widely accepted that the Prophets of God are spiritually and physically superior to ordinary people. Though they may occasionally suffer from minor, temporary ailments like fever or headache, it is not expected that they would be plagued by chronic or debilitating illnesses that bring them to an early grave. In contrast, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani—founder of the Ahmadiyya movement—was known to suffer from numerous diseases, despite his own claims that God had promised him good health.
### Claims of Divine Protection
Mirza Qadiani claimed divine revelation regarding his well-being. In one place, he writes:
> *“God Almighty gave me the good news that I will keep you safe from every harmful disease.”*
> (Reference: Khazain)
In another instance, he writes:
> *“O Mirza, We have taken care of your health.”*
> (Reference: Tazkirah)
Despite these claims, historical records and his own writings mention numerous physical and psychological conditions he reportedly suffered from.
### Reported Illnesses of Mirza Qadiani
Below is a list of some of the ailments and health issues attributed to him:
1. **Urinary Issues and Constipation**
He acknowledged suffering from two main problems—one related to the upper body and one to the lower—specifically, constipation and excessive urination.
2. **Hysteria and Seizures**
He was known to speak of having “hysteria” and periods of unconsciousness or altered states.
3. **Memory Loss (Destruction of Hafiz)**
He admitted to having poor memory and difficulty recognizing or remembering people.
4. **Eye Problems (Myopia)**
He reportedly had weak eyesight, to the extent that he was unable to see the new moon.
5. **Psychological Fear and Cowardice**
He described feelings of fear and anxiety, especially around the time of his marriage.
6. **Nervous Weakness**
Symptoms such as headaches, lack of dreams, digestive issues, diarrhea, and mental confusion were attributed to general nervous weakness.
These health concerns stand in contrast to his claims of divine protection and physical wellness.

### Questionable Conduct and Language
Prophets are traditionally known for their excellent character, patience, and refined speech—even in the face of criticism. However, Mirza Qadiani’s writings and recorded statements show a pattern of coarse language and insults directed at his opponents and critics.
#### Insults Toward Muslims
> *“Whoever does not believe in our triumph is not a legitimate son.”*
> (Khazain, Vol. 9, p. 31)
> *“Everyone accepted my invitation and confirmed it except the children of prostitutes.”*
> (Ainah Kamalat Islam, vol. 5, pp. 547-548).
> *“Our enemies have become pigs and their women worse than dogs.”*
> (Khazain)
#### Insults Toward Islamic Scholars
> *“These Maulvis are more filthy and disgusting than pigs.”*
> (Khazain, Vol. 11, p. 305)
> *“O you who eat the dead and cry in filth, woe unto you!”*
> (Khazain, Vol. 11, p. 305)
> *“Ignorant shrine-holders and fake saints... ostriches of religious leadership.”*
> (Khazain, Vol. 11, p. 302)
#### Insults Toward Christians
> *“How ignorant and vile these dead Christians are.”*
> (Khazain)
> *“Christianity is a dead and decaying sect.”*
> (Khazain, Vol. 11, p. 293)
#### Insults Toward Arya Samajis (Hindu Reformists)
> *“Some foolish, uneducated scoundrels among the Aryas.”*
> (Khazain, Vol. 18, p. 387)
> *“O foolish Aryas, go drown yourselves in a well.”*
> (Khazain, Vol. 10, p. 64)

### Conclusion
This record of physical ailments and morally questionable behavior presents a stark contrast to the traditional image of a prophet in Islam, who is expected to possess both physical soundness and exemplary moral conduct. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani's life, as recorded in his own words and historical documentation, raises significant concerns when viewed against these prophetic standards.
