Finality of Prophethood

Many non-Ahmadi Muslims strongly believe that no prophet can come to the world now, since the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has appeared. Ahmadi Muslims believe, based on several points of evidence from Quran, that prophets can still appear after Hadhrat Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, among his followers. The restriction of no more prophets being for one who abrogates the existing Islamic Shariah or code of law, and brings a new one according to the verse 70 of Alnisa.

The verse non-Ahmadi Muslims most often present, is the following:

“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets; and Allah has full knowledge of all things.” – The Holy Quran (33:41)

This verse was revealed to Hadhrat Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, when his adversaries jeered at him for his being issueless, when God comforted him with this verse among others, indicating his greatness and superiority. The word “walaakin” (“but”) in the verse indicates that his being issueless is of little or no significance when one looks at his great qualities mentioned in the next part of the verse. Nowhere in the verse is there mention of his being the “last” prophet. If “seal” is taken to mean “last” in the context, it does not make any logical sense, as that would have further aggravated the mockery — what good is there in coming last of all anyway? It does not signify greatness. The “seal” should be taken to mean the seal of authority, under attestation of which one can attain prophethood and in no other way. This seems to make more sense as shown by subsequent verses in the article:

In the very first chapter of the Holy Quran (Al Fatehah), God says:

[1:6] Guide us in the right path —

[1:7] The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings, those who have not incurred Thy displeasure, and those who have not gone astray.

The chapter containing the above verse is supposed to be recited by every Muslim 30 or so, times in 24 hours, in which they ask for these blessings. As to who the recipients of these blessings are is defined in another verse of the Holy Quran:

[4:70] And whoso obeys Allah and this Messenger shall be among those on whom Allah has bestowed His blessings – the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And an excellent company are they.

[4:71] This grace is from Allah, and Allah suffices as One Who is All-Knowing.

So it is clear that by obeying Allah and Hadhrat Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, one can be included in the above categories, prophethood being the highest, of course. An objection is made to the (4:70) verse’s translation that I presented above, that the word “Ma’a” in the verse does not mean “among”, but “with”, so one who fulfils obedience to Allah and this messenger would not himself/herself attain these ranks, but will simply be “with” those who have done so in the past. True; it does mean “with” in the literal sense, but this is very weak reasoning. We do not always have to take the literal meaning of words, for else, we would have to accept, for one pertinent instance, that Hadhrat Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was just a “seal” and not a human being — quite gross! Taking a look at another verse of the Holy Quran, we pray to God:

[3:194] ‘Our Lord, we have heard a Crier calling us unto faith, saying, ‘Believe ye in your Lord,’ and we have believed. Our Lord, forgive us, therefore, our sins and remit from us our evils and in death join us with the righteous;’

If we take literal meaning of “with” in this verse, it should follow from the verse, based on non-Ahmadi insistence in favor of literal vs. figurative meaning, that:

It is like praying to God: O God, please, please, whenever some righteous person is about to die, cause us to somehow stop breathing, put some embolus into our coronary arteries, or do something to somehow cause us to die EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME when some righteous person in our neighborhood is about to die, for we want to “die with the righteous”. I am sure even non-Ahmadi Muslims do not have this in mind when they say this prayer. What good would it do to a person to “die with” a righteous person. Several thieves, murderers, rapists, drug smugglers, “Jeffrey Dahmers”, etc., may die synchronously with righteous people, but this does not make them good or do any good to them. The fact is, we pray to God to “MAKE US RIGHTEOUS” on the same pattern as other righteous people before us.

[4:146] The hypocrite shall surely be in the lowest depths of the Fire; and thou shalt find no helper for them,

[4:147] Except those who repent and amend and hold fast to Allah and are sincere in their obedience to Allah – these are with the believers. And Allah will soon bestow a great reward upon the believers.

In the above verse of the Quran. Allah has used the word “ma’a” for those hypocite who are repented and amended and holding fast to Allah and are sincere in their obedience to Allah, that they are “with” the believers. means “among” the believers.

What is the Covenant of the Prophets?

The Following verse speaks of covenant of the prophets. but important point is that the covenant is not mentioned which took from the prophets.

[33:8] And call to mind when We took from the Prophets their covenant, and from thee (Holy Prophet Muhammad), and from Noah and Abraham, and Moses and Jesus, son of Mary, and We indeed, took from them a solemn covenant;

[33:9] That Allah may question the truthful about their truthfulness. And for the disbelievers He has prepared a painful punishment.

The verse [33:9] only mentioning the cause of the covenant. but not the covenant which took from the prophets.

In the followong verse it is mentioned the covenant which took from the Prophets.

Covenant of the Prophets

[3:82] 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.’

[3:83] Now whoso turns away after this, then, surely, those are the transgressors.

Disbeliever of a Prophet is Kafir

[4:151] Surely, those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers and seek to make a distinction between Allah and His Messengers, and say, ‘We believe in some and disbelieve in others,’ and seek to take a way between;

[4:152] These really are the disbelievers, and We have prepared for the disbelievers an humiliating punishment.

[4:153] And those who believe in Allah and in all his Messengers and make no distinction between any of them, to such He will soon give their rewards. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.

” Nabi & Rasul “

NO DIFFERENCE !

Nabi & Rasul both as bearers of glad tidings and as warners

[2:214] Mankind were one community, then they differed among themselves, so Allah raised Prophets as bearers of glad tidings and as warners, and sent down with them the book containing the truth that He might judge between the people wherein they differed. But then they began to differ about the Book, and none differed about it except those to whom it was given, after clear Signs had come to them, out of envy towards one another. Now has Allah, by His command, guided the believers to the truth in regard to which they (the unbelievers) differed; and Allah guides whomsoever He pleases to the right path.

[6:49] And We sent not the Messengers but as bearers of glad tidings and as Warners. So those who believe and reform themselves, on them shall come no fear nor shall they grieve.

Nabi & Rasul both sent down with them the book

[2:214] Mankind were one community, then they differed among themselves, so Allah raised Prophets as bearers of glad tidings and as warners, and sent down with them the book containing the truth that He might judge between the people wherein they differed. But then they began to differ about the Book, and none differed about it except those to whom it was given, after clear Signs had come to them, out of envy towards one another. Now has Allah, by His command, guided the believers to the truth in regard to which they (the unbelievers) differed; and Allah guides whomsoever He pleases to the right path.

[57:26] Verily, We sent Our Messengers with manifest Signs and sent down with them the Book and the Balance that people may act with justice; and We sent down iron, wherein is material for violent warfare and diverse uses for mankind, and that Allah may know those who help Him and His Messengers without having seen Him. Surely, Allah is Powerful, Mighty.

Nabi & Rasul both as a Witness without a new Book

Moses prayed to Allah, for Granting him Aaron (his brother) as an assistant. [20:30] But Aaron did not bring a new book, he was shared with the Task of Moses. [20:33] (Means Aaron did not bring a new task!) so thats why Moses and Aaron both were given the same book. [37:118] And Aaron was just a helper and a bear witness to Moses.[28:35] Allah called him a nabi [19:54]

If Every Nabi have must to bring a Book, then Aaron should have to bring a new Book beside the book of Moses, but it was not happen like this.

Allah has mentioned many times the book as the Book of Moses. And not as the Book of Moses and Aaron.

And remember when We gave Moses the Book and the Discrimination, that you may be rightly guided. [2:54]

And verily We gave Moses the Book. [2:88]

Say, ‘Who revealed the Book which Moses brought, a light and a guidance for the people. [6:92]

We gave Moses the Book – completing the favour upon him who did good, and an explanation of all necessary things, and a guidance and a mercy – that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord. [6:155]

Can he, then, who stands upon a clear proof from his Lord, and to testify to whose truth a witness from Him shall follow him, and who was preceded by the Book of Moses, a guide and a mercy, be an imposter? Those who are the true followers of Moses believe therein, and whoever of the opposing parties disbelieve in it, the Fire shall be his promised place. So be not thou, O reader, in doubt about it. Surely, it is the truth from thy Lord; but most men believe not. [11:18]

And We certainly gave Moses the Book. [11:111]

And We gave Moses the Book and We made it a guidance for the Children of Israel, commanding, ‘Take ye no guardian beside ME. [17:3]

And We gave Moses the Book, that they might be guided. [23:50]

We gave Moses the Book, and appointed with him his brother Aaron as his assistant. [25:36]

And We gave Moses the Book. [28:44]

And We indeed gave Moses the Book – be not, therefore, in doubt about receiving a perfect Book thyself – and We made it a guidance for the Children of Israel. [32:24]

And indeed, We gave Moses the Book. [41:46]

And before it there was the Book of Moses, a guide and a mercy; and this is a Book in the Arabic language, fulfilling previous prophecies that it may warn those who do wrong, and give glad tidings to those who do good. [46:13]

In most of the places Quran has mentioned the book as the Book of Moses. And not as the Book of Moses and Aaron! this is a very important point. If that Book was revealed specifically for both (Aaron and Moses) then it must have said “the Book of Moses and Aaron“, rather than “the Book of Moses” ! So, this clearly indicates that it was the Book of Moses. And Aaron was shared to the task of Moses as an assistant, thats why he was given the same Book. Quran has mentioned in two places that Aaron and Moses were given the same book;

[21:49] And We gave Moses and Aaron the Discrimination and a Light and a Reminder for the righteous;

[37:118] And We gave them the Book that made everything clear;

Now, it is clear that Aaron did not bring any new Book!

Aaron mentioned as a Nabi [19:54] (without a new book) a bear witness to Moses.[28:35]

[3:82] 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, witnessing 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.’

Prophets judging with One Book

[5:45] Surely, We sent down the Torah wherein was guidance and light. By it did the Prophets, who were obedient to US, judge for the Jews, as did the godly people and those learned in the Law, because they were required to preserve the Book of Allah, and because they were guardians over it. Therefore fear not men but fear ME; and barter not My signs for a paltry price. And whoso judges not by that which Allah has sent down, these it is who are the disbelievers.

A khadim was arrested by police about two days ago from rabwah in afternoon while completely intoxicated with alcohol.
He came out in the main bazar of rabwah and started abusing and fighting with peoples and was busy in doing that when police eventually arrived and arrested him. They also recovered 3-4 litres of alcohol from him.

Accoring to the viewers the other man who was accompanying the khadim fled the scene. The other person is known to be from kunri sindh and the son of Jamaat President there. He also served jamat with his leadership qualities as quaid khudam in kunri. He brought a big can of alcohol for his friend in Rabwah and they enjoyed drinking there. I am guessing that he came rabwah probably to attend an important official Jamat meeting.

FIR has been lodged with the Police and rabwah khadim was arrested but as i said earlier the main person escaped the scene. During the fight in main bazar they also injured somebody and damaged property.

If we look at the general conditions prevailing in Pakistan, it is very difficult for middle class peoples even to survive as every thing is too expensive. They struggle to provide food to their children, and who knows how many peoples there are who have let their child sleep without food in these days in pakistan as unemplyment and increase in price of groceries made life miserable to majority of peoples. On the other the other side, we see peoples living in rabwah or elsewhere indulging in such immoral activites and spend hell of money to get satisfaction.

One of my friend told me that this is just an example like a spoonful of rice from a container. The number of persons who are involved in such immoral activities in rabwah is quite alarming. He further told me the main reason is active peoples are gone abroad or are out of rabwah to earn and majority of youth is not employed and awaiting to fulfill the dream of going abroad, so they are not intereseted in for study and the only persons left there are idle persons who are usually the centre of these activites.

May Allah Almighty show them the right path and the authorities in Rabwah should take steps to control these activities and find the main reason for deterioration of morals of our youth, despite tall claims of examplry tarbiyyat, and inclinication of youth toward these negative activities.

A hurted heart from Rabwah.

How many total Ahmadies are there in the world?     This is an interesting question that every Ahmadi wants to hear the answer to.

Mirza Tahir Ahmad, a short while before his death claimed that there were 200 million total Ahmadies.  This was the figure that was on the official website of Ahmadiyya jamaat for several years  ( no increase took place due to new bai’ts and normal population growth).      ./urdugif/alislam200million.png
Last year (or year before last) , without explanation, the figure was drastically changed from 200 million to “tens of millions”.    http://www.alislam.org/introduction/index.html     ( Screen shot of the current alislam.org page in case they decide to change their minds again.      ./urdugif/alislam10sofmillion.png  )
Website http://www.thecult.info has recently produced references to some very interesting contradictory claims of worldwide Ahmadiyya population from Ahmadiyya sources.  
The UK Ahmadiyya Jamaat official website still claims 200 million:  http://www.ahmadiyya.org.uk/islam/ahmadiyya_community.php 
The alislam.org says tens of millions:  http://www.alislam.org/introduction/index.html

A. Abdul Aziz, Press Secretary of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamath, Sri Lanka. says “Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Islam founded by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, India in 1889, spreading throughout the world with the population of over 220 million in 190 countries”:  http://www.lankaweb.com/news/items08/230208-2.html

In an interview to a British newspaper Mirza Masroor says “Allah gave him strength, he [Mirza Masroor] says. By the next morning the fear had subsided and he set to work from his London base, leading the estimated 70 million Ahmadiyya Muslims in more than 180 countries”:  (Please note that this is on the official alislam.org webpage)  http://alislam.org/khilafat/fifth/preaching%20peace.pdf

But he changes his mind again.   In an interview to an Indian newspaper, he says 170 million:   http://www.hindu.com/2008/12/02/stories/2008120253950400.htm

Now the question is, does the Jamaat know how many Ahmadies are out there?   The answer is a firm yes.   Jamaat has a very well organized system of “Tajneed” in which particulars of every single Ahmadi are recorded.   If they wanted to tell the truth they can do so in a minute because the actual figures are right in their possession.    The reason they will not tell the truth is because it will be too embarrassing exposing the lies that have been told to Ahmadies for over 15 years.   And since no Ahmadi is loudly complaining, why bother with the truth.

Perhaps the most effective ploy that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Quadiani came up with, to deceive innocent Muslims into accepting his prophethood claim was the issue of Essa death.      This deceptive trick has been, over the times, so cleverly implanted into the brain of common Ahmadi that many Ahmadies still (sincerely) think that this is indeed the most important issue for Islam and Muslims and they want to talk about nothing but this issue.

The type of brainwashing the Ahmadies were subjected to can be seen from the book Hiyat-i-Qudsi by Ghulam Rasool Rajheki, one of the most respected “scholars” of Ahmadiyya.    On page 9 (part 3) of his book, he writes:

This belief about Essa alive in heaven has caused more harm to Islam than anything else.   Because of this belief hundreds of thousands of Muslims converted to Christianity because Christian preachers were able to prove that this belief renders Essa superior to Mohammad (saw).

We will talk about how Christian preachers “proved” superiority of Essa due to this belief, later.     First, let us talk about alleged conversion of “hundreds of thousands” of Muslims to Christianity. We hear about this mass conversion of Muslims to Christianity only and only from Ahmadiyya sources.     There is no evidence that such a mass conversion ever took place. Even Christians don’t know that they had converted “hundreds of thousands” of Muslims.     What happened to those “hundreds of thousands”? Where did they vanish?    This was obviously a lie made up by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Quadiani like many of his other lies.

Now let us examine the allegedly devastating logic of Christian preachers that caused this rapid mass conversion.     Page 10 (part 3) of the book describes that.

Christian Padres,  debating with Muslim molvies asked them, “If two persons are of the same status and one dies while the other is living then who would be considered superior?” Molvies,  gave the “obvious” answer, “The person who is living will be conserved superior”.

This logic of living being superior to dead is so horribly idiotic that I don’t even find it necessary to refute it.     Would you consider Iblees superior because he is living while more than 100,000 prophets of Allah have died? Was Yazeed superior to Hussain because Hussain died and Yazeed was living.    Would you consider Musleemah Kazzab superior because he lived after the Holy Prophet (saw) had died.

Also, if this logic is so devastating then why did Christian Church forget it.    Muslims, vast majority of them, still believe that Essa is alive in heaven, therefore, the logic still stands. Why don’t we see Christians using it?    In fact they don’t even know if such a logic was ever used.

Rajeki’s book also talks about Christian Preachers’ argument about allegedly humiliating and disgraceful manner in which the Holy Prophet (saw) escaped from Makkah at the time of Hijra.   Let me tell you! This “argument” did not come from Christians: it was a product of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s perverted brain.    In order to support his false claims, he, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, argued that the manner of Holy Prophet’s escape from Makkah was humiliating and disgraceful!     Rajeki did not hear it from Christians: he took it verbatim from the books of his spiritual master.    It is possible that some low level Christian Priests could have borrowed this line from Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and might have used it, but we know that the majority of them has more sense and is at least a little more respectful of the Holy Prophet (saw) than Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was.

Is Disorder Possible in the Nizaam of Ahmadiyyat?

Yes of course, Hazrat Khalifa tul Masih II believes that “disorder” is possible in the nizaam. as he said;

“If there comes any disorder in our nizaam, people (Ahmadis) should awake to correct that disorder.”
(Sabil ul Irshad. volume 1, pg 99)

“Khilafat is the other name of Nizaam. Khilafat is not something separate from the nizaam. khilafat is the name of nizaam.” (Sabil ul Irshad. volume 1, pg 159)

It means, Disorder is possible in the khalifa.

Is Corruption Possible in Ahmadiyyat?

Yes, of course! Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani said;

مجھے اس بات کا غم نہیں کہ یہ اموال (الوصیت) جمع کیونکر ہونگے، اور ایسی جماعت کیونکر پیدا ہوگی جو ایمانداری کے جوش سے یہ مردانہ کام دکھلائے۔ بلکہ مجھے فکر یہ ہے کہ ہمارے زمانہ کے بعد وہ لوگ جن کے سپرد ایسے مال کیئے جائیں وہ کثرت مال کو دیکھ کر ٹھوکر نہ کھاویں اور دنیا سے پیار نہ کریں۔ سو میں دعا کرتا ہوں کہ ایسے امین ہمیشہ اس سلسلہ کو ہاتھ آتے رہیں، جو خدا کے لئے کام کریں، ہاں جائز ہوگا کہ جن کا کچھ گزارا نہ ہوان کو بطور مددخرچ اس میں سے دیا جائے۔

۔(رسالہ الوصیت میں دوسری شرط)۔

“I am not worried and grieved how and from where these funds (Wasiyyat Funds) would come, nor I am grieved about how such a community will be raised who, inspired by faith, shall demonstrate such heroic feats. Rather I am worried that after my age (time period), those persons (office holders) who will be entrusted with these funds may , seeing the abundance of funds, stumble and fall in love with the world. So, I pray that such honest people may always be found by the movement who work for God alone. However it shall be lawful that those who have no means to support themselves should be given something from these funds by way of help“.

(Al-Wasiyyat - ‘2nd Condition’)

So, there is NO Guarantee that Ahmadiyya Administration (Khalifa + Office holders) will always be loyal and honest. Possibility is always there that They may become corrupt.

Atleast how much time period is required for a community to be corrupted?

With the passing of time people can become corrupt even in Godly communities. For example, after the death of Prophet Muhammad , Muslims were became corrupt after a time period of just 30 years of Khilafat-e-Rashida. And the terminology “Khalifa Is Appointed by God” were not applied on any khalifa after Hazrat Ali . Thus, there is a possibility (NOT a RULE) of corruption in any Godly community.

Thirty years after the Holy Prophet’s death many of his distinguished companions were still alive, eminent persons such as his wife Aisha were still alive, and the highly-esteemed tabaeen (those belonging to the next generation after the companions) were yet reaching their prime. even they were punished by having the blessing of khilafat withdrawn from them.

Important Points

(1) Majority has never believed in Prophets nor Majority is the Truth Sign:

It must be noted that, Mission of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (The Promised Messiah) was not something different than the mission of previous Prophets. Nor, the mission of Promised Messiah is more than the mission of Holy Prophet Muhammad . Quran is the ultimate book for understanding the mission of any Prophet. Allah says in Quran;

Quran is the book of Judgment. Allah says that;

[58:22] Allah has decreed: ‘Most surely, I will prevail, I and My Messengers.’ Verily, Allah is Powerful, Mighty.

So, this ‘Ghalba‘ is not only attached with the Promised Messiah!. Infact this is the sign of every Allah’s Messanger that he Prevail (Ghalib). Moreover, that Ghalba is not of Majority. because Majority has rejected the prophets. and Majority is never a sign of Truth. (Detail verses click here).

(2) The Khilafat after the death of Prophet Muhammad was also Everlasting :

Promised Messiah has not used the word “everlasting” only for khilafat-Ahmadiyya. He also used such wordings for Khilafat-e-Islamiyah. In the interpretation of Sura Al-nur, verse 56, Promised Messiah has said in his book “Shahadat-ul-Quran” page 57 and page 59. that;

خدا تعالیٰ اس امت کے لئے خلافت دائمی کا صاف وعدہ فرماتا ہے۔

“God has given a clear promise of a perpetual khilafat for the Muslim nation.“. (Shahadat-ul-Quran” page 57)

اسلامی خلافت دائمی ہے

“Islamic khilafat is Eternal” (“Shahadat-ul-Quran” page 59)

You see, that according to Promised Messiah , the Everlasting Khilafat was soon started after the death of Prophet Muhammad.

(3) Allah’s Will has nothing to do with Ending the Khilafat-e-Rashida –

Promised Messiah said in his book “shahadat-ul-Quran” Page 58 under the interpretation of Quranic verse sura Al-noor: 56. that;

جو شخص خلافت کو صرف تیس برس تک مانتا ہے وہ اپنی نادانی سے خلافت کی علت غائی کو نظر انداز کرتا ہے اور نہیں جانتا کہ خدا تعالیٰ کا یہ ارادہ تو ہرگز نہیں تھا کہ رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی وفات کے بعد صرف تیس برس تک خلافت کی برکتوں کوخلیفوں کے لباس میں قائم رکھنا ضروری ہے پھر بعد اسکے دنیا تباہ ہوجائے تو ہوجائے کچھ پرواہ نہیں۔

۔ (شہادۃ القرآن۔ صفحہ 58 )۔

“The person who accepts the khilafat of only thirty years ignores its real object through his folly. He does not know that it was most certainly not God’s Will that it is only essential to continue the blessings of apostleship after the Holy Prophet’s death through the khalifas for a mere thirty years, and after that He would not care a whit even if the world was facing destruction.“

پس یہ حقیر خیال خدا تعالیٰ کی نسبت تجویز کرنا کہ اسکو صرف تیس برس کا ہی فکر تھااور پھر انکو ہمیشہ کے لئے ضلالت میں چھوڑ دیا اور وہ نور جو قدیم سے انبیاء سابقین کی امت میں خلافت کے آئینہ میں وہ دکھلاتا رہا اس امت کے لئے اسکو منظور نہ ہوا۔ کیا عقل سلیم خدائے رحیم و کریم کی نسبت ان باتوں کو تجویز کرے گی؟ ہرگز نہیں!۔

“Can sound sense propose the despicable idea about the Merciful, Kind God, that He cared about this Muslim people for only thirty years and then left them wandering permanently, and the light which from ancient days He had been showing within the followers of previous prophets in the mirror of khilafat, He did not approve of showing for this Ummah? Most certainly not!. And the following verse bears decisive witness to the khilafat:

“We indeed wrote in the Book after the Reminder that My righteous servants shall inherit the earth.” (21:105)

For, it is clearly proclaiming that the Islamic khilafat is perpetual. The word “inherit” implies perpetuity, because if the wicked have the last turn, they would be the inheritors of the earth, not the righteous, and the heir to anything is he who comes last of all”. (Shahadat-ul-quran. page 58)

Then promised messiah said;

“Given that God had explained by use of an analogy that He would raise khalifas in this Ummah in the same manner as He raised khalifas after Moses, one should see what course did God follow after the death of Moses: did He send khalifas for only thirty years, or did He extend this series for fourteen hundred years? The grace of God upon our Holy Prophet, may peace and the blessings of God be upon him, was far greater than that which was upon Moses … how could it be that the series of successors of Moses should be continued for fourteen hundred years, but here the khilafat terminate after a mere thirty years?” (Shahadat-ul-quran. page 58-59)

“He will, surely, make them Khalifa in the earth, as He made Khalifa from among those who were before them” (Al-Nur: 56) means that Muhammadiyya Khilafat is similar to the khilafat of bani israel by all aspects.” (Azala-e-Oham, Roohani khazain – Page 460)

What Promised Messiah Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is discussing at length in his book “shahadat-ul-quran” is that the khilafat of the Holy Prophet Muhammad did not end after 30 years of the four righteous khalifas, as believed by many Muslims, but that it continued throughout the history of Islam in the form of the appearance of mujaddids and Muhaddis.

Possibilities of further Messiahs after Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani said;

میں نے صرف مثیل مسیح ہونے کا دعویٰ کیا ہے اور میرایہ بھی دعویٰ نہیں کہ صرف مثیل ہونا میرے پر ہی ختم ہوگیا ہےبلکہ میرے نذدیک ممکن ہے کہ آئندہ زمانوں میںمیرے جیسے اور دس ہزار بھی مثیل آجائیں۔ ہاں اس زمانہ کے لئے میں مثیل مسیح ہوں۔

۔(ازالہ اوہام۔ صفحہ ۱۹۷)۔

“I am the claimer of Promised Messiah, and this is not the only claim of mine, that only I am the one and the last Promised Messiah. Hence, according to me it is possible that after my age (time period) ten thousands (10, 000) promised Messiahs can come. but for this age (time period) I am the Promised Messiah“.

(Azala Ohaam. Page: 197).

Possibility of Mujaddid after Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani?

“29 September 1905, before noon. A man asked the question: ‘Will a mujaddid come after you?‘ He [the Promised Messiah] replied:

“What is wrong with a mujaddid coming after me? The prophethood of Moses had come to an end, and that is why his chain of successors ended with Jesus. However, the dispensation of the Holy Prophet Muhammad will last till the Day of Judgment. Therefore, mujaddids will arise in it till Judgment Day. As long as the Day of Judgment withholds its destruction, it does not matter that someone else should come. We most certainly do not deny that good and righteous people will continue to come, and then all of a sudden the Day of Judgment will come.”

(Malfoozat. volume 7, page 119)

“For every age the conclusive proving of the case for Islam takes place in a different sense, and the Mujaddid of the time comes with the powers, faculties and qualities upon which depends the reformation of the prevalent evils. God will ever continue to do this, as long as He pleases, so that signs of righteousness and reform remain in the world. These matters are not without proof; on the contrary, repeated observations testify to them.” (Shahadat ul Quran: page 46)

“Another point is that the letter ra in the word alif-lam-ra shows that this word refers to the permanent institution of mujaddids and the sent ones, which will continue till the Day of Judgment. . . . All these miraculous works and victories which took place at the hands of the mujaddids among the followers of the Holy Prophet Muhammad after him, and will continue till the Day of Judgment, are really the achievements of the Holy Prophet.” (Ruhani Khaza’in no. 2, vol. 2, p.63.)

“After one week, clothes get dirty and it becomes necessary to have them washed. But even after the passing of a full century, is there not a need for a mujaddid? There is, most definitely there is. This is the reason why God established this institution that at the head of every century a mujaddid comes for the reform of the people.” (Ruhani Khaza’in no. 2, vol. 3, p.225.)

When asked the question by a visitor, “Is it essential that a mujaddid comes in every century?”, the Promised Messiah is reported as replying:

“Yes, it is essential that a mujaddid must come at the head of every century. Some people, on hearing this, say by way of objection that if a mujaddid comes in every century then tell us who were the mujaddids of the last thirteen centuries. My answer is that, firstly, it is not my work to give the names of those mujaddids. Put this question to the Holy Prophet Muhammad who said that a mujaddid comes in every century.” (Ruhani Khaza’in no. 2, vol. 5, p.100.)

In the extract from which we have quoted above, the Promised Messiah goes on to say:

“This hadith [about mujaddids] has been accepted by all the authorities. Shah Wali-ullah has also accepted that this hadith is from the Holy Prophet. It is contained in the books of Hadith. No one ever threw it out, nor said that it should be excluded. . . . I assure you that this hadith is not false, but true. It is commonly known that a mujaddid comes in every century. . . . Just as a century destroys the human body, similarly there also comes about a spiritual death. A new generation is born after a century. . . . In order to re-vitalise the new generation the law of God (sunnat Allah) is in force that a mujaddid comes in every century.”

“29 September 1905, before noon. A man asked the question: ‘Will a mujaddid come after you?‘ He [the Promised Messiah] replied:

“What is wrong with a mujaddid coming after me? The prophethood of Moses had come to an end, and that is why his chain of successors ended with Jesus. However, the dispensation of the Holy Prophet Muhammad will last till the Day of Judgment. Therefore, mujaddids will arise in it till Judgment Day. As long as the Day of Judgment withholds its destruction, it does not matter that someone else should come. We most certainly do not deny that good and righteous people will continue to come, and then all of a sudden the Day of Judgment will come.”

(Malfoozat. volume 7, page 119)

Meaning of Qudrat-e-Thaniyah قدرت ثانیہ

“Qudrat-e-saniyah is everlasting and will not end till day of judgment” (The Will by Promised messiah). In this sentence the word “Qudrat-e-saniyah” implies to “Khilafat”. And according to Promised Messiah “khilafat” is not only implies to “Khilafat-e-rasool”, but it also implies to “Mujaddid”. Promised Messiah believes that “Khilafat” includes “the four rightly guided successors of Rasool” and “Mujaddids”. Because promised Messiah said that islamic khilafat is perpetual and Allah willed that it should continue to exist permanently till the Day of Judgment. (read Promised Messiah’s Book: Shahadat ul Quran page 48 to 60)

Thus, Promised Messiah has not declare the “Ahmadiyya Khilafat” everlasting anywhere in his writings. what he has declared everlasting are two things (i) Qudrat-e-saniyah, (ii) Islamic Khilafat.

(i) Qudrat-e-saniyah includes “Khilafat” and not just the “Ahmadiyya Khilafat”, because promised messiah wrote in the same book alwasiyyat that this Qudrat is similar to the Qudrat which was appear in the form of Hazrat Abu bakr, The first Islamic khalifa. which means “Qudrat-e-saniyah” is comparable to the “Islamic khilafat”.

(ii) Islamic khilafat includes successors of the prophets and Mujaddids.

In Conclusion

After reading the above, we came to know that Ahmadiyya khilafat may convert into Monarchy (kingdom). And corruption is always possible in Ahmadiyya Muslim community, corruption is always possible in Ahmadiyya Administrative system, corruption is always possible in Ahmadiyya office holders. So, Ahmadis should not Follow the Nizaam (Ahmadiyya Administration) with blind eyes. Open your eyes, brain and heart and see what Nizaam orders you, if the order is islamic then Follow, but if the order is non-islamic then dont follow. Gain your islamic knowledge. because if you dont have islamic knowledge you can’t differentiate between islamic order and non-islamic order.

Ghalaba-e-Rusul [9:33] He it is Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, that He may make it prevail over every other religion, even though the idolaters may resent it. [48:29] He it is Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the true Religion, That He may cause it to prevail over all other religions. And sufficient is Allah as a Witness. [61:10] He it is Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the Religion of truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religions, however much those who associate partners with Allah may dislike it. [58:22] Allah has decreed: ‘Most surely, I will prevail, I and My Messengers.’ Verily, Allah is Powerful, Mighty.   Ghalaba-e-Rusul deos not mean “Believing of the Majority” [5:100] On the Messenger lies only the conveying of the Message. And Allah knows what you disclose and what you hide. [5:69] Say, ‘O People of the Book, you stand on nothing until you observe the Torah and the Gospel and what has now been sent down to you from your Lord.’ And surely what has been sent down to thee from thy Lord will increase many of them in rebellion and disbelieve; so grieve not for the disbelieving people. [6:117] And if thou obey most of those on earth, they will lead thee astray from Allah’s way. They follow nothing but mere conjecture, and they do nothing but lie. 00 In Sura Al-Araf verse 60-103 mentioned the rejection of the Prophets, and then finally it says; [7:102] Such were the towns some of whose news We have related to thee. And verily the Messengers came to them with clear Signs. But they would not believe what they had rejected before. Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of the disbelievers. [57:27] And indeed We sent Noah and Abraham, and We placed among their seed Prophethood and the Book. So some of them followed the guidance, but majority of them were rebellious.   Prophets are only responsible for plain delivery of the Message! [24:55] Say, ‘Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger.’ But if you turn away, he is responsible for what he is charged with and you are responsible for what you are charged with. And if you obey him, you will be rightly guided. And the Messenger is only responsible for the plain delivery of the Message. [16:83] But if they turn away, then thou art responsible only for the plain delivery of the Message. [16:36] And the idolaters say, ‘If Allah had so willed, we should not have worshipped anything beside Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor should we have forbidden anything without command from Him.’ So did those who opposed the truth before them. Are the Messengers responsible for anything except the plain delivery of the Message? [13:41] And whether We show thee in thy life-time the fulfilment of some of the things which We threaten them or whether We cause the to die, it makes little difference, for on thee lies only the delivery of the Message, and on US the reckoning. [5:93] And obey Allah and obey the Messenger, and be on your guard. but if you turn away, then know that on Our Messenger lies only the clear conveyance of the Message. [3:21] But if they dispute with thee, say, ‘I have surrendered myself completely to Allah, and also those who follow me.’ And say to those, who have been given the Book and to the Unlearned, ‘Have you also surrendered?’ If they surrender, then they will surely be rightly guided, but if they turn back, then thy duty is only to convey the Message. And Allah is Watchful of His servants. [64:13] And obey Allah and obey the Messenger. But if you turn away, then Our Messenger is responsible only for conveying the Message clearly. [5:100] On the Messenger lies only the conveying of the Message. And Allah knows what you disclose and what you hide. [29:19] And if you reject the truth, then the generations before you also rejected it. And the Messenger is only responsible for the clear delivery of the Message. [50:46] We know best what they say; and thou art not to compel them in any way. So admonish, by means of the Qur’an, him who fears My warning. [42:48] Hearken ye to your Lord before there comes a day for which there will be no averting contrary to the decree of Allah. There will be no refuge for you on that day, nor will there be for you any chance of denial. [42:49] But if they turn away, We have not sent thee as a guardian over them. Thy duty is only to convey the Message. And truly when We cause man to taste of mercy from US, he rejoice therein. But if an evil befalls them because of what their hands have sent forth, then lo! man is ungrateful. [80:8] Though thou art not responsible if he does not become purified –
