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.
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)
