Son To Pir Manzur?

To begin answering this allegation one should firstly understand how prophecies work. Here is an ayah which explains it in a way:



He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book; in it there are verses that are decisive in meaning — they are the basis of the Book — and there are others that are susceptible of different interpretations. But those in whose hearts is perversity pursue such thereof as are susceptible of different interpretations, seeking discord and seeking wrong interpretation of it. And none knows its right interpretation except Allah and those who are firmly grounded in knowledge; they say, ‘We believe in it; the whole is from our Lord.’ — And none heed except those gifted with understanding. —(Chapter 3 Verse 8)

There are some things which are precise and some unspecific. The ones who are deviated always run to the unspecific things as the anti Ahmadis do when it comes to this prophecy which they misunderstand.

I wonder if the non Ahmadis have even read the entire prophecy and doubt they have. Now let us come to the prophecy. We are told three main things. Firstly a boy was to be born, he would have many names, and there would be a sign of an earthquake when he is born. If one claims this prophecy failed then none of this should have happened.

Ahmad(as) has stated:

“it is the law of the God that in the prophecies there are allegoric parts and there are fundamental parts .and sometime the prophecies are totally allegoric type. and ignorant people just see the allegoric part and deny the truth of the prophecy but truth is , if the prophecy is allegoric in nature (means clearly have not been told to whom it concerns ) and does not fulfill in accordance with the thinking of the prophet then one should not say that prophecy have not fulfilled , but one should only say that the view of the prophet have not fulfilled. (Ruhani Khazain volume 22 page 589)

He also states:

“One should not care about interpretation of the prophecies which are made before the fulfillment of the prophecies. One should consider it an error of judgment because the real time of interpretation is when the prophecy is fulfilled ” (Ruhani Khazain volume 21, page 111)

Its clear that prophecies need to be interpreted especially dreams. Here are some dreams of the prophet Muhammad(Saw) which were also interpreted:

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أُرَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ رَأَيْتُ فِي رُؤْيَاىَ أَنِّي هَزَزْتُ سَيْفًا فَانْقَطَعَ صَدْرُهُ، فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا أُصِيبَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، ثُمَّ هَزَزْتُهُ أُخْرَى فَعَادَ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَ، فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْفَتْحِ وَاجْتِمَاعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا بَقَرًا وَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ، فَإِذَا هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ‏”‏‏.‏

Narrated Abu Musa:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I saw in a dream that I moved a sword and its blade got broken, and that symbolized the casualties which the believers suffered on the day of Uhud. Then I moved it again, and it became as perfect as it had been, and that symbolized the Conquest (of Mecca) which Allah helped us to achieve, and the union of all the believers. I (also) saw cows in the dream, and what Allah does is always beneficial. Those cows appeared to symbolize the faithful believers (who were martyred) on the day of Uhud.”(Bukhari, vol 5, book 59, Hadith #407)

Now the question arises that who was this son and where and when was he born? Ahmad(as) said this son will be born in the house of Manzoor Muhammad and this was his own view. Allah used the word Miyan Manzoor Muhammad but prophecies are not always applied to the exact person and this name was in reality referring to Ahmad(as) himself. The son was no other than the Promised son and the birth was not a physical birth rather a spiritual one. It is with this spiritual birth that the earthquake was related and also occurred.

What the non Ahmadi’s fail to mention and hide from the people is this statement of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as):

I saw (in my dream) that a son was born to Manzur Muhammad and he asked what name should be given him. Then my mind moved from the dream towards the reception of revelation and I was informed: Bashirud-Daulah The Promised Messiah[as] said: I supplicate for a large number of people and do not know to whom the word Manzur Muhammad refers. It might be that the word indicates that a son would be born to Miyań Manzur Muhammad whose birth might bring with it prosperity and wealth; or it might be that the boy himself might rise high and be wealthy. But I cannot say for certain when that boy would be born. God has not specified any time. It might be soon or Allah the Almighty may delay it for several years. [Badr, vol. 2, no. 8, February 23, 1906, p. 2 and al-Hakam, vol. 10, no. 7, February 24, 1906, p. 1]

It is clear that Ahmad(as) stated that the prophecy could mean that one whom Muhammad(saw) looks with favour which is the meaning of Manzoor Muhammad. The earthquake referred to the world war which was a war that shook the world right after Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad(ra) became the Khalifa.

Now someone might say how can this prophecy be fulfilled in another person if it uses Manzur Muhammad? Well if they read Tareekhe Khamees there is aIt vision of the Prophet Muhammad(Saw) where its stated that Muhammad(Saw) saw Aseed Bin Asias become Muslim but in reality he died as a kaffir but his son accepted Islam later on which fulfilled this dream.

Next when we see this vision of the prophet(saw) no one can say it failed:

وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي يُونُسَ، مَوْلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ “‏ نُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ وَأُوتِيتُ جَوَامِعَ الْكَلِمِ وَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أُتِيتُ بِمَفَاتِيحِ خَزَائِنِ الأَرْضِ فَوُضِعَتْ فِي يَدَىَّ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Abu Huraira reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I have been helped by terror (in the heart of the enemy) ; I have been given words which are concise but comprehensive in meaning; and while I was asleep I was brought the keys of the treasures of the earth which were placed in my hand. (Sahih Muslim 523e)

In reality these treasures were acquired when conquering the earth which happened years after the Prophet(Saw) died by his followers so it was fulfilled with them.

This itself is proven from the ahadith itself where the descent of Isa(as) is prophesied however its obvious that Isa(as) has died so the prophecy is metaphorical for someone like Isa(as) who is none other than Ahmad(as).

Now its clear that Qur’an believes in spiritual birth as well rather than only physical. Allah states:



O ye who believe! respond to Allah, and the Messenger when he calls you that he may give you life, and know that Allah comes in between a man and his heart, and that He it is unto Whom you shall be gathered.(Chapter 8 Verse 25)

Ahmad(as) states:

The truth of the matter is that a Prophet is human as well, and it is not bad that he might make some error in judgment but he is not kept on his error and at sometime he is told about his mistake. And prophecies of the prophet should be seen from the side of their being supernatural .If a prophecy does not fulfill in one way , but fulfills in some other way and the fundamental part of prophecy i.e. being supernatural , is present in the other way of fulfillment and after the fulfillment every sane person can understand that this was the real meaning of the prophecy which have been fully shown by the completion of the prophecy Then it will not hurt the greatness of the prophecy at all. Raising objection on it is dishonesty and stubbornness. ((Volume: 21, Page: 250, Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya Vol. 5)

Ahmad(as) clearly said:

“However, earthquakes of a smaller magnitude must continue to occur, but it is imperative that the earthquake of the example of the Judgment Day be postponed till that boy is born.”

This is the spiritual birth which took place of the khalifa which was indeed a great sign and the earthquake or disaster of the example of the Judgement Day was the world war which took place right after.

Ahmad(as) clearly said that the prophecy could be interpreted according to the names and it is clear that it was indeed fulfilled in that way. All of these qualities are in the Promised son, Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad(ra) and the earthquake was the world war which literally shook the world and occurred after he became the khalifa which was his spiritual birth.

There is a furthter second revelation which proves that this referred to Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad(ra). In another vision Ahmad(as) was shown :

Dream: When I received the last mentioned revelation, I
saw that someone said: This is the Sign of the predicted
earthquake. When I looked up, I saw that something had
fallen from the top of the tent which had been set up near
the garden. What had fallen down was the top of the center
pole of the tent. When I picked it up, I found that it was a
nose-pin which is an ornament that women wear at their
noses. It was wrapped in a piece of paper. It passed through
my mind that it belonged to my wife and had been lost
sometime back. It was now found from a height, and that
this was the Sign of the earthquake.
[Badr, vol. 1, no. 8, May 25, 1905, p. 2 and al-Hakam, vol. 9, no. 19, May 31, 1905, p. 1]

This revelation is telling us that a top of the tent will fall down. The interpretation of the tent refers to the Ahmadiyya Jamaat and the death of the caliph. Ahmad(As) picked up the tent and found a nose pin wrapped in paper. Ahmad(As) then said it belonged to my wife and now it has returned to her. This is the sign of the earthquake this refers to. Both prophecies refer to the Promised Son Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad(ra). In the year of 1914 the first khalifa Hazrat Hakim Maulvi Nooruddin (ra) passed away and then the Promised Son(ra) was elected as the khalifa. This was his new spiritual birth and with this new spiritual birth the earthquake is associated. Therefore this prophecy was indeed fulfilled.

Some main points we have understood are that the birth of the son itself was a sign of the earthquake. The earthquake prophecy was a detailed prophecy which had more prophecies in it. The destruction of the czar was one of the sign of the earthquake prophecy which took place in 1914 because of the world war. The world war started in 1914 and the spiritual birth of the son was at the start of the son. The birth of the son was spiritual, and another revelation explained this earthquake as well as shown above. This prophecy was clearly fulfilled with the Promised Son(ra) Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad(ra) becoming the khalifa of Ahmadiyyat.

Illias Sattar, Another Mullah Exposed

To begin this answer, Illias Sattar only jumped for a mubahila because he could not answer this clear ayah of the Qur’an which shows the death of Isa(as).





And when Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, ‘Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?’”, he will answer, “Holy art Thou. I could never say that to which I had no right. If I had said it, Thou wouldst have surely known it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. It is only Thou Who art the Knower of hidden things. “I said nothing to them except that which Thou didst command me — ‘Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them, but since Thou didst cause me to die, Thou hast been the Watcher over them; and Thou art Witness over all things. (Chapter 5 Verses 117-118)

These verses are a dialogue between Allah and Jesus(as) on the day of judgement. Allah asks Isa(as) whether it was his reasoning and teaching and that if he was the one who taught his followers to take himself and his mother as gods. Jesus(as) responded to this by saying : “I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them”. This statement shows that Jesus(As) is taking full responsibility for the people while he was alive and a guardian over them. He assures that as long as he was with the people and among them, they followed they right path and did not commit shirk, rather worshiped on God alone. The next statement of Isa(as) is that he states that he cannot be blamed nor held responsible for what the people did and the misguidance they followed, after Allah caused him to die, since he was no longer among them to guide them. Isa(as) explains this in the next statement where he states: since Thou didst cause me to die, Thou hast been the Watcher over them; and Thou art Witness over all things. It is obvious that in this context tawaffaitani can mean nothing other then death nor in any context can it mean anything other then death (unless sleep or night is mentioned) which will be proven.

These verses also conclude and lead to the conclusion that Isa(As) would not return physically in the latter days as that would contradict the perfect book, the Holy Quran. If we do for arguments sake accept that Isa(As) went into the heavens 2000 years ago and will return, then this statement In the Quran cannot be true as he claims Allah was a watcher after he left them and Allah alone. Either you say the Quran is creating a contradiction God forbid, Isa(As) is lying, or he has died. An open minded person after reading this verse would agree he has died. The Promised Messiah(as) states in the Will :

The meaning [of this verse], in the context of the relevant verses, is that on the Day of Judgement God will ask ‘Isa(as), “Was it you yourself who taught your followers ‘Believe in me and my mother as gods?’ “. To this he will reply, ‘As long as I remained among them I was witness over them and was their custodian, but after You caused me to die, how could I know what the heresy was with respect to which they had gone astray!’ Now, if one desires one can take the verse to mean ‘When You caused me to die;’ or if one so desires, without abandoning one’s unjustified obduracy, one can take it to mean: ‘When You raised me to Heaven with my physical body.’ In any event, this verse proves that ‘Isa(as) will not return to this world. For had he come again to this world and had he [having returned to this world] broken the Cross, then in that case it would not be possible that ‘Isa(as), who is a Prophet(as) of God, should tell such a blatantly plain lie in the presence of God on the Day of Judgment viz., ‘I have no knowledge whatsoever that after me my people adopted a false creed and made me and my mother gods’. Can a person who returns to this world and lives in it for forty years and fights battles against Christians, tell such detestable lie—i.e. ‘I am totally ignorant of it all’—even though he is a Prophet? Thus the above verse prevents the return of ‘Isa(as) because, otherwise, he has to be taken for a liar. If he is in Heaven with his physical body and, as the above verse elucidates, will not descend on the earth till the Day of Judgment, will he die in Heaven and will his grave be in Heaven, while his dying in Heaven is contradicted by the verse He said, “Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth.”. Hence, all this proves that he [‘Isa(as)] did not ascend to Heaven with his physical body but went to Heaven after having died. If to oppose the Book of God, when it has given an explicit verdict, is not a sin, then what else is sin? (The Will page 17-19)

Secondly how incorrect is it to believe that this mubahalah was lost by the khalifa when Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) won every single mubahalah? Can one really think Allah changed his stance? In reality, it is clear that Illias Sattar was destroyed.

Let us first look at the versse of Mubahalah. Allah states:

Allah the Almighty states:





Now whoso disputes with thee concerning him, after what has come to thee of knowledge, say to him, ‘Come, let us call our sons and your sons, and our women and your women, and our people and your people; then let us pray fervently and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie.’(Chapter 3 Verse 62)

Now Allah revealed this verse but still the Christians did not die before The Prophet (Saw), and we know that they did not accept the mubahala either, which is the only possible outcome as we know how truthful the Prophet (Saw) was. Similar is the case with Illias Sattar who tried to trick and deceive many which is not something new when it comes to these “scholars” of today

What transpired on June 3, 1999 was a question answer session with some non Ahmadis which included Illias Sattar and his company. Two Murabbis were present named Usman Shahid and Abdul Rahman. The debate got out of hand and Illias Sattar could not answer the verse I put above, which made him go straight to a mubahala. The scholars told him that the mubahala is given by the khalifa. Upon hearing this Sattar decided to accept the challenge. This took place in Karachi. The Missionaries believed the mubahalas are for bigger “scholars” who have a jamaat or a group which is why Illias Sattar was not given much attention to, but Illias Sattar wanted to become famous and this was all he really wanted since he was unknown. The missionaries accepted the mubahala. Illias Sattar mentioned:

“If Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(As) is wrong and not from Allah then I pray that Mirza Tahir Ahmad will be punished in one year and the whole of the jamaat will be punished by Allah within one year”

Can anyone tell me what happened in one year? Jamaat grew and became stronger, this is a fact.

Illias Sattar then signed on a newspaper called Jurat on November the 11th 19999. He claimed that the 34th Jalsa would be the last of Jamaat Ahmadiyya. We just had a jalsa last year in UK which had over 30,000 members and every year before that since 1999, so he is once again proven a liar. According to him jamaat should have vanished by 2000. After this Allah blessed all the jalsas much more and is still happening. After few years Jamaat spread even more and God blessed Jamaat with a lot of land.

Today Illias Sattar who clearly lost this Mubahala celebrates for no reason at all. We ask him what bad thing happened to Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad(Ra) or the jamaat. If he dares to call out the temporary illness of Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad(Ra) then that is ignorance on his part and he should also say the same for the prophets who have gotten sick including the Seal of all the prophets, Muhammad (Saw) during his last days. If the sickness of Hazur (Ra) was a punishment then why would Allah cure him? Hazur (Ra) delivered 16 khutbas in 2000. Then what happened the next year? He led 49 khutbas in 2000. What happened in 2002? He led 46 sermons. Allah recovered Hazur (Ra) from a sickness that had nothing to do with this mubahala. One day before Hazur(Ra) passed away, he was able to by the grace of Allah, deliver a Friday sermon.

Another important thing to note is that Illias Sattar did not even follow the first condition of the mubahala which was that on 10 June 1988 Illias Sattar was supposed to publish this mubahala in the Pakistani newspaper. Can he prove that he ever did this? NEVER! This proves Illias Sattar who had never fulfilled the first condition and was declared as a loser. He ran from the first condition itself then celebrates after Hazur (Ra) was given a natural death of old age way after one year. Then what happened? We were blessed with another khalifa chosen by Allah who is currently leading the Islamic world as we speak and is the only leader amongst the Ummah, of course excluding terrorists who self claim caliphate.

Reality to the Mubahalah of Abdul Haq Ghaznavi

Before this allegation is answered, it is extremely important to note the verse about mubahalah in the Holy Qur’an. Allah the Almighty states:



Now whoso disputes with thee concerning him, after what has come to thee of knowledge, say to him, ‘Come, let us call our sons and your sons, and our women and your women, and our people and your people; then let us pray fervently and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie.’(Chapter 3 Verse 62)

Mubahalah is also not the automatic death for the liar, rather it is a prayer to Allah to curse the liar between the two parties. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) was never into mubahalahs and never wanted to enter into a mubahalah with Muslims. He loved everyone who called themselves a Muslim and prayed for them. Ahmad(as) wanted to avoid this mubahalah but Ghaznavi challenged Ahmad(as) (Ruhani Khazain, Volume 11, page 305)

For more information one can refer to the leaflet of April 12,1891 in Majmua Istaharat Volume 1 page 211 where Ahmad(as) describes the mubahalah between the two Muslim parties. But he only agreed on the condition that it would be according to the instructions of the Qur’an from Chapter 3 Verse 62.

Secondly the non Ahmadi Muslims state that this mubahalah was on the issue that Ahmad(as) and all his believers were kaffirs, liars, impostors and faithless and quote Majmua Istiharat Volume 1 page 425. The success of the mullah should have been publicized to entire India millions of times but why is there none available? If Abdul Haq was victorious it should have been at least something for the Muslim world? The truth is that hardly any Muslim in India or Pakistan knows Abdul Haq.

They are only known for one reason and that is because of the signs of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as). They are no different than Abu Jahl or Abu Lahab who are known primarily because of the truthfulness of Islam. Now this itself shows that Ahmad(as) was successful in the mubahalah. The fact that Ghaznavi is not known to the world and no one has heard of him. But look at the success Allah has given to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as). The entire world has Ahmadi’s on every corner reading his books daily. It is our challenge to the entire Muslim ummah to bring a single statement of Ahmad(as) where he said Abdul Haq will die in his life time as a result of the mubahalah. I also challenge the entire ummah to show a single statement where Abdul Haq said he will live longer than Ahmad(as) and that Ahmad(as) would die in his life time.

Thirdly the non Ahmadi’s quote that Ahmad(as) said that the liar among the participants in a mubahalah dies in the lifetime of the truthful while quoting Malfuzat Volume 9 Page 440. They take this quote completely out of context. Firstly, its a common held belief that Allah does make a clear distinction between the liar and the truthful one year after the mubahalah and this was also the belief of many Muslim saints of the ummah. Ahmad(as) mentioned this himself as well in Ruhani Khazain Volume 9 Page 34. The above mentioned mubahalah was held in the year of 1893. The death of anyone was never mentioned. This is a quotation out of context which was an answer of Ahmad(as) in regards to Musailma Kadhab. This was 14 years after the mubahalah of Ghaznavi. Some people have asked that Musailma was the liar but he did not die in the life of the Holy Prophet(saw). The answer to this is a plain and simple one that Musailma did not enter into a mubahalah and if he did he would have died during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad(saw).

Fourthly they say that ahmad(as) died in the life time of Ghaznavi on May 26th 1908 while Ghaznavi died 9 years after on May 16, 1917. Once again it should be made clear that Ahmad(as) did not even pray for the death of Abdul Haq. Neither did he invoke the curse of Allah on Abdul Haq in the mubahalah because of the ignorance of the maulvi (Ruhani Khazain volume 11, page 305)

Ahmad(as) prophesied that “Abdul Haq will not die unless he himself witnesses the birth of my fourth son also” (Ruhani Khazain Volume 11, Page 317). Abdul Haq’s death happened 9 years after Ahmad(as) is itself a sign of Allah’s support. The curse of Allah fell on Haq many times. His brother died that same year and he had to marry his brothers widow. Ahmad(as) said that marrying an old woman who lost her youth and charm could not be a blessing at all, rather the death of the brother was something to ponder upon(Ruhani Khazain Volume 11 page 310) Then Abdul Haq claimed that he will have a son. Can anybody tell me where that son is and what his name was ? (Ruhani Khazain, Volume 11, Page 310)

In response Ahmad(as) prophesied that he himself would be blessed with a son. Within that year a son named Shareef Ahmad was born. Ahmad(as) once again prophesied that Abdul Haq will not die unless he witnesses the birth of my fourth son. Abdul Haq lived to see the birth of the fourth son of Ahmad(as) which fulfilled this prophecy also. His name was Mubarak Ahmad (Ruhani Khazain Volume 11 page 310)

These same mullahs who opposed Ahmad(as) saw the results the same day on that Eidgah. Batalvi was also challenged for a mubahalah along with Abdul Haq but he as many know was scared his entire life and it was prophesied that he would never come up for mubahalah by Ahmad(as) himself. Abdul Haq was not ready either but he was peer pressured. He only used filthy language against Ahmad(as) and gained nothing from it, except sins. Ahmad(as) did not curse the opponent rather prayed that as his opponents regarded him as a liar, imposter, and infidel and that if he was so that God should curse him in an unprecedented manner. People who were at the Eidgah were so shocked at his prayer that they started to cry around him. One of the followers of the Maulvi Himself, Maulvi Muhammad Yaqoob fell at the feet of Ahmad(as) and accepted his ba’ait. Allahu Akbar. God is truly great. Sheikh Noor Ahmad was an eye witness and has stated in his book “Noor Ahmad” on page 32. When the prayer was over, both maulvi Muhammad Yaqoob and Hafiz Muhammad Yusuf stated in front of many that the father of Abdul Haq named Abdullah Ghaznavi had a vision where he saw a light of God descend upon Qadian which his children were deprived of(Life of Ahmad, Page 375). This itself shows that Abdul Haq lost the mubahalah from the first few minutes it had began!

Blessings upon blessings were being given to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) by Allah after this mubahalah. The followers of Ahmad(as) increased to thousands and in fact eight thousand people asked for ba’ait in that same year (Ruhani Khazain, Volume 11, Page 315). The purpose of this mubahalah was to save people from accepting the wrong person and its clear who Allah had accepted.

It’s also important to note that Abdul Haq prophesied a son but was disgraced by Allah instead and had no son which showed his failed prophecy, while Ahmad(as) prophesied that he would have a son, and he did have that son and another son fulfilled the prophecy that Abdul Haq would not die unless he witnesses that birth as a sign of Allah. Ahmad(as) challenged many opponents in his books as well, but no one stepped fourth, while he(as) continued to propagate the true message of Islam. Another important and amazing sign which occurred within a year after the mubahalah were the heavenly eclipses which were prophesied by the Holy Prophet Muhammad(saw) himself for the true messiah and mahdi. Within the same year of the mubahalah, Ahmad(as) published lecture Lahore, while the Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam was translated to English. Ahmad(as) also completed a book in response to a leaflet where Abdul Haq bragged about his victory of mubahalah which was called Tohfa Ghaznavia. In this book Ahmad(as) refuted all of the claims of Abdul Haq and showed the true reality of the mubahalah and what blessings were showered upon him. Ahmad(as) challenged mubahalah to about 100 other mullahs, scholars, sufis and others to settle this matter once and for all. In this challenge Ahmad(as) said that the curse of Allah would happen in one year but not a single person stepped up to the challenge. Ahmad(as) also challenged others like Dowie, Atham, Lekh Ram and Piggott and was successful every single time. Either they repented or they were humiliated.

Falsehood of Abdul Hakeem of Patala

 

This is just another out of context allegation which some ignorant non Ahmadi Muslims have raised against the jamaah of Allah. It is important to note that Abdul Hakeem of Patala had beliefs that were completely against Qur’an and Islam in general which was the reason he was removed from the jamaat. His belief was that Muhammad(saw) is not important and does not have to be accepted. He said the second part of the kalima is basically useless. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) tried to explain this to him and wrote letters to him also. This is all available in the book Haqiqatul wahi. Because he continuously disagreed, Ahmad(as) could not keep him in the jamaat as one who disrespects our master Muhammad(saw) has no room in this jamaat nor does he belong here.

Its sad that some non Ahmadi Muslim opponents now claim that is prophecy became true. a man who did not even believe in the Holy Prophet(saw). Strangely enough the bitterest opponents of Ahmadiyyat agreed that his prophecy failed. The truth is when the death of Mirza Ghulam ahmad(as) came near, he continued to publish prophecies about his death. Abdul Hakeem used to use the prophecies of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) to make prophecies about when he would die. In the end Abdul Hakeem said Ahmad(as) would die on August 4, 1908. This was his final prophecy. Before this he claimed that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) would die on the fourth of August. Now Ahmad(as) passed away on May 26th 1908 but Abdul Hakeem said he would die on August 4, 1908. Clearly, Ahmad(as) was proven truthful and Allah had humiliated Abdul Hakeem and exposed his fraud to the entire world, including the sunni scholars.

I will now explain this case in depth. Three years before the death of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as), he(as) received more revelations in regards to his death. For example in Braheen e Ahmadiyya Volume 5 page 70, Allah told the Promised Messiah(as) “Your determined term of life is near its end”. In the same year, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) saw a dream where he was told by Allah that the appointed term for him had only a small portion remaining, meaning his death was near. During the rest of the year Allah continued to reveal to Ahmad(as) about his death. Allah the Almighty also revealed to Ahmad(as) the following “He will send down from heaven that which will please thee. A mercy from our self and a matter that has been determined. That which you are being promised is near. I have issued my decree” (Al Hakam, Volume 9, Number 44, 24th October 1905, Page 4)

Ahmad(as) also stated:

“To begin with, all praise is due to God, the Lord of all the worlds; and peace and blessings upon his Messenger, Hadhrat Muhammad(Saw), his progeny and his companions, all. And after that, since in repeated revelations, coming one after the other, God Almighty has conveyed to me that the time of my demise is near and since revelations in this behalf have come to me with such repetition and force as to shake the foundation of my being, turning my heart cold to this life, I have deemed it proper to set down in writing, some words of admonition and advice for my friends and other people who might be disposed to derive benefit from them( The Will, pg 2). The will also had other revelations which showed Ahmad(As)’s death was near. These included “the end of his time was approaching (ibid), and “not much was left before this event took place (ibid pg 3). There was also a vision stated where an angel was measuring the ground and arriving at the location where his grave had been destined to be situated (ibid pg 15)

Now we are to come to Dr. Abdul Hakeem who had been excommunicated from the jamaat because of his beliefs which he began to spread. He was already upset and angered because of his excommunication and because of the humiliation he had suffered. This made him develop hatred towards the jamaat of Allah. He started to write against Ahmad(as) and also threatned him. Abdul Hakeem also claimed to be a recipient of Divine revelation. Now everyone in India who knew about Ahmad(as) were aware of his prophecies in regards to his near death. Abdul Hakeem used this as a opportunity to make a prophecy about his death. Abdul Hakeem basically copied the prophecies of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) and made assumptions of when Ahmad(As) may die. He firstly “prophesied” that Ahmad(as) would die within three years of this prophecy of his (Al Haq Wa Atmam al Hujjat Wa Tamilah page 4). He was clearly repeating what Allah was telling Ahmad(as) but trying to apply dates to his prophecies. Even in the year of 1905 in December, Ahmad(as) stated “A few days back, I saw a dream that someone had given me some water in a new earthen vessel in which there only remained two or three sips of water but, the water was extremely clear and pure. This was accompanied by a revelation, water of life” (Review of Religions, December 1905, pg 480)

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) knew that God does not allow a fabricator to spread such lies and be successful so he stated:

Those accepted of God carry with them the signs of such acceptance. They are known as the princes of peace. No one can prevail over them

Ahmad(as) then supplicated to Allah to distinguish between the turhtful and the lair as he is all knowing and was aware of all knowledge (Tadhkirah, English Edition page 353)

After this prayer of Ahmad(as), Allah the almighty began to expose Abdul Hakeem. It started by him first causing Hakeem to change his original “prophecy” of Ahmad(as)’s death which was by ten months and eleven days. Abdul Hakeem switched his original prophecy to that God told him to reduce Ahmad(as)’s lif by ten months and 11 days which would mean that Ahmad(as) would die within the fourteen months of this dated “prophecy” (Al Haq Wa Atmamul Hujjat Wa Takmilah page 6). In reply to this Ahmad(As) was told by Allah that God will seize Abdul Hakeen and lengthen Ahmad(as)’s days and his enemies prophecy will not be fulfilled(Announcement, 5th November 1907, Tadhkirah English Edition page 404). Now Abdul Hakeem saw this prophecy of Ahmad(as) and was once again confused to change his “prophecy”. He first said Ahmad(as) would die within 14months of July 1907 and then switched it to 12th of February 1908 and now had said that Ahmad(as) would die before the 4th of August 1908 (Al Haq Wa Atmam Al Hujjat Wa Takmilah, pg 26) Ahmad(as) once again replied to this by saying Allah will protect him from the predictions of the doctor (Chashma-e-Marifat page 232). Now again Abdul Hakeem was scared and said “God annulled the prediction of Ahmad(as)’s death before the fourth of August 1908 (Al Haq Wa Atmam al Hujjat Wa Takmilah Page 9)

Now in the next prediction of Abdul Hakeem which was a letter from the 8th of May 1908, he stated “

“I shall be grateful if you publish my latest revelations concerning the death of Mirza. They said Mirza will die of a fatal disease on the 21st day Of Saavan in the year 1965″( which is August 4th 1908).” An important woman from the family of Mirza will also die with him (Paisa Akhbar, Lahore and Ahle Hadith Amritsar, 15th May 1908). This was the last “revelation” of Abdul Hakeem which had a date for Ahmad(as).

Allah had confused him in such a way that he was making himself look like one who is completely ignorant and has no converse with God whatsoever. Now Hakeem predicted a specific date for Ahmad(as)’s death which is why there was no need for Allah to now extent the life of Ahmad(as) as before since the date varied from the date of August 4, 1908.

Ahmad(as) passed away on the 26th of May in 1908. This is two months and ten days before the date of which Hakeem “prophesied”. The opponents of Ahmad(as) including the editor of Paisa Akhbar said that why did Hakeem change his prediction of Ahmad(as)s death within fourteen months of the first of July of 1907 to a certain death on the 21st day of Savaan of the year 1965 which is the fourth of August 1908. He claimed if Abdul Hakeem left his prediction he would have been shown truthful. This shows that they themselves admit it was a false prophecy.

Now let us see what Maulvi Sanaullah Amritsar has said about the “prophecies” of Hakeem. One has to remember that Sanaullah was one of the biggest opponents of Ahmad(as) and had extreme hate for the Promised Messiah(as). Despite all of this hatred, he was forced to state:

“Alas! We write these lines with the greatest regrets and a painful heart. But what else can we do when we must admit the truth? We were indeed, concerned, when we saw that Mirza had published his Will in which he stated that it had been revealed to him that his life was going to end very soon and some people will feel relieved that a certain person has departed from this world. We did not want this to happen so soon, hoping that God Almighty would leave him to flounder in his transgression. But, we expected this to happen soon, as had been announced by Dr Abdul Hakeem of Patiala. The doctor had stated “My revelation concering Mirza of Qadian, which may kindly be published, is that 1)The Mirza will die on the 21st day of Saavan, 1965 (4th August, 1908) of a fatal disease. 2) A distinguished woman of the family of Mirza shall also die [Weekly Ahle Hadees :15.4.1908] However we cannot refrain from saying what is true. Had the doctor STOPPED at what he had stated before, that is, his predition of Mirza’s death within fourteen months and not fixed a specific date as he has done then those objections could have never been raised as are being raised today by the Paisa Akhbar of the 27th, wherein it is stated that had the prophecy been left as “upto the 21st of Saavan” and not altered to “on the 21st of Saavan” it would have, indeed, been wonderful. But alas, his revelation that Mirza will die on the 21st of Saavan, that is the 4th of August, has been published in the Ahle Hadees issue of 15th May, 1908. We wish that he would have left his earlier revelations unaltered, without giving a specific date. Then there could have been no excuse” (Ahle Hadees, 12th June 1908)

This is a statement of the great opponent of Ahmad(As).I will end these two explanations with a verse of the Quran: 

وَقُلْ جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ ۚ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا

And say, ‘Truth has come and falsehood has vanished away. Falsehood does indeed vanish away fast.’(Chapter 17 Verse 82)

Joined Her in Marriage to You and Unmarried or Widow

Now the next revelation they accuse is “we have joined her in marriage to you”. The same has been used in Surah Al Ahzab where Allah states:



And remember when thou didst say to him on whom Allah had bestowed favours and on whom thou also hadst bestowed favours: ‘Keep thy wife to thyself, and fear Allah.’ And thou didst conceal in thy heart what Allah was going to bring to light, and thou wast afraid of the people, whereas Allah has better right that thou shouldst fear Him. Then, when Zaid had accomplished his want of her so as to have no further need of her, We joined her in marriage to thee, so that there may be no hindrance for the believers with regard to the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished their want of them. And Allah’s decree must be fulfilled.(Chapter 33 Verse 38)

The Qur’an shows us that Zainab was married to Muhammad(saw) after she was divorced and became a widow which was the same word revealed to Ahmad(as). This makes it clear that it referred to after she would become a widow if her father and husband does not repent, would marry Promised messiah(as). However, the Husband did indeed repent. Ahmad(as) states:

“And as for the issue that the revelation states that the marriage of Nikah of this woman has been announced with me in the heavens, this is true, but as we have already mentioned, for the apparent manifestation of this Nikah, which was announced in the heavens, there was a condition stipulated by God, which was published at that tie too and it is O Lady! Repent! Repent! For affliction shall befall your children.(Haqiqatul Wahi)

The final allegation on this prophecy is unmarried or a widow.

The revelation was

بكر وثیب

The meaning of this revelation in light of the above-mentioned verse is that ‘after’ Muhammadi Begum becomes a widow (if her father and husband does not repent), she would be married to the Promised Messiah (as). 

This was regarding a virgin and a widow to enter wedlock with Ahmad(as). The virgin was Hazrat Nusrat Jahan (ra) and regarding the widow Ahmad(As) wrote that Muhammadi Begum would enter in marriage with him unless her father gets her married elsewhere, and if that be the case, her father would die of three years of that marriage and then her husband given if they don’t repent. The father of Muhammadi begum got her married elsewhere, and in six months he died even though his health was not bad. Seeing this, her newly wed husband became fearful for his life, and the majority of that family repented, He would have died as well, and then as a widow Muhammadi Begum would have entered in wedlock with Ahmad(As). However, after this Ahmad(as) was revealed that he himself would pass away before Nusrat Jahan(ra) who was his the virgin mentioned, as a widow. This way the virgin and a widow revelation would be fulfilled in a single person, and it did in this exact manner. What makes this prophecy a miracle is that all of this was foretold before the events
