And remember the time when Allah took a covenant from the people through the Prophets, saying: ‘Whatever I give you of the Book and Wisdom and then there comes to you a Messenger, fulfilling that which is with you, you shall believe in him and help him.’ And He said: ‘Do you agree, and do you accept the responsibility which I lay upon you in this matter?’ They said, ‘We agree;’ He said, ‘Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.(Chapter 3 Verse 82)
This is such a beautiful verse and outlines the covenant that whenever a Messenger comes to you fulfilling what is with you, you should believe in him and also help him. This shows that as the Holy Prophet Muhammad(saw) did bring a book, The Holy Qur’an, a messenger had to come for his ummah and under his shariah. Some Non Ahmadis have firstly tried claiming that this ayah was for the prophets before the Holy Prophet Muhammad(saw) and the promise referred to them having to accept the Prophet(saw) if they saw him. This is totally flawed as no prophet saw the Prophet(saw) and all had died before him. Some raise the allegation that no, Isa(as) is alive which is also a false belief but then I humbly ask them that if this refers to Isa(as) then where was he when the Prophet Muhammad(saw) was being persecuted? Him not coming to help the Prophet(saw) from the heavens as the Non Ahmadis believe he is there, itself proves that Isa(as) has died. However, Allah has made it clear that this covenant was indeed also taken from the Prophet Muhammad(saw). Allah states:
And remember when We took from the Prophets their covenant, and from thee, and from Noah, and Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus, son of Mary, and We indeed took from them a solemn covenant;(Chapter 33 Verse 8)
Allah has clearly stated that he Has taken the Covenant from the Prophet Muhammad(saw) as well as from the other Prophets.
