Welcome to Ahmadi Answers

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the only Islamic organization to believe that the long-awaited Messiah has come in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) (1835-1908) of Qadian. Ahmad(as) claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus(as) of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad(saw). We believe that according to the Qur’an and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad(saw) it is clear that the latter day messiah would be an imam from amongst the Muslims. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believes that God sent Ahmad(as), like Jesus(as), to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed and re-institute morality, justice and peace. Ahmad(as)’s advent has brought about an unprecedented era of Islamic revival. He divested Islam of fanatical beliefs and practices by vigorously championing Islam’s true and essential teachings.

Status Greater Than Muhammad(saw)?

 
The passage quoted is :

Muhammad(saw) has once again descended among us And he is greater in status than before He who wishes to see Muhammad(saw) O Akmal Should see Ghulam Ahmad(as) in Qadian

This is totally a lie by the anti Ahmadis. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) never claimed such a thing rather this is a statement of Qadi Zaharud Din akmal. They cannot be associated with the amaat themselves.

Lets look at what Ahmad(as) said:

My life and heart are an offering for the graces of Muhammad(saw)

I am equal to the dust of the alleys belonging to the progeny of Muhammad(saw)

The poet himself states

“the aforementioned couplet is in great respect in the Court of Muhammad Mustafa (saw) (the Chosen One). God, who knows the hidden secrets hidden within the hearts, is witness that even my subconscious never considered any personality to be in any way comparable to the Seal of the Prophet(saw). Allah the Almighty knows better that by writing this couplet – ‘and he is greater in status than before’—I never imagined that I was bringing anyone in comparison with the Holy Prophet(saw). Rather, what I said was that Muhammad(saw) has descended—that is his second coming has taken place. This is the belief of all Ahmadi Muslims. It is neither by the way of incarnation nor by the transmigration of souls, but is the descent which is his spiritual manifestation as Allah has mentioned in the Holy Quran :


Surely every hour that follows is better for thee than the one that precedes.(Chapter 93 verse 5)

By virtue of durud sharif and noble deeds, not only is such a believer blessed, but the status of the Holy Prophet(saw) is also raised and would continue to be raised because there is no limit to God’s bounties. Therefore, I have said only that the blessings and munificence of Muhammad Mustafa(saw) are descending once again, and that his descent can only mean that his glory is being manifested more than ever before. No other person is mentioned in this couplet, in fact, the final couple of the poem is:

“that is Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) has attained the status of the Promised Messiah as a consequence of his complete submission to, and perfect followership of , the holy Prophet Muhammad(saw) (Al Fazl, August 13, 1944)
