Is Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani the Promised Imam Mahdi or Promised Messiah?

by Dr. Rashid

Dear Readers

Assalamo alaikum

Islam is the chosen religion of Allah; Quran is the final message of The Creator to mankind, sent to us through His Last and Final Messenger Muhammad . Holy Prophet Muhammad announced in His Ahadith that he is the Final Messenger of Allah. Moreover, he also prophesied the coming of Imam Mahdi (AS)as well as Hazrat Eisa Ibne Maryam (AS) before the Day of Qiyamah. These three things are part of the faith of Muslims since the time of Holy Prophet Muhammad.

However, during the past 1400 years, there have been many imposters who have laid claim to all these three offices – Prophet, Messiah, Mahdi. During our times we are also faced with such a person, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani, the founder of Ahmadiyya Movement. Mirza Ghulam claimed to be a Prophet, Messiah and Imam Mahdi, all in one. 

Despite these heretical beliefs, he and his followers claim to be Muslims and Champions of Islam. They label all other Muslims as Kaafirs and disbelievers. Many innocent and ignorant people in Africa gets deceived by these claims of Mirza Ghulam and consider him to be Imam Mahdi or Messiah or reformer in Islam.

This short paper will examine all these claims in the light of Quran and Hadith, for the benefit of our ignorant and unsuspecting Muslims brothers, who have never heard of Mirza Ghulam or Ahmadiyya/Qadianiyah and get deceived by their claims.

Islam – A Chosen Religion:

Allah completed His favors on us and announced:

 

 

5:3 This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed my favor upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your way of life.

Holy Prophet Muhammad - The Final Messenger (SAW)

Allah announced that there is no Prophet after Syedna Muhammad (SAW).

 

 

33.40:Muhammad is not the father of any of your men but (he is) the Apostle of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things.

Holy Prophet Muhammad(SAW). categorically mentioned in many Hadith that he is the Last Messenger and Prophet of Allah, and there will be no Prophets after Him. For instance:

·The Holy Prophet (SAW)observed: "The tribe of Israel was guided by prophets. When a prophet passed away, another prophet succeeded him. But no prophet will come after me; only caliphs will succeed me." (Bukhari, Kitab-ul-Manaqib).

·The Prophet of Allah (SAW) affirmed: "My position in relation to the prophets who came before me can be explained by the following example:

·A man erected a building and adorned this edifice with great beauty, but he left an empty niche, in the corner where just one brick was missing. People looked around the building and marvelled at its beauty, but wondered why a brick was missing from that niche? I am like unto that one missing brick and I am the last in the line of the Prophets." (Bukhari, Kitab-ul-Manaqib). (In other words, with the advent of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) the edifice of Prophethood has been completed and there is no empty niche in this edifice to provide room for another prophet.)

·The Holy Prophet (SAW) observed: "God has bestowed upon me six favors which the former Prophets did not enjoy:

·I have been endowed with the gift of pithy and perfect speech.

·I was granted victory owing to my awe.

·The spoils of war were made lawful unto me.

·The whole earth has been made the place of worship for me and it has become the means of purification for me also. In other words in my religion, offering of prayers is not confined to certain specified places of worship. Prayers can be offered at any place over the earth. And in case water is not available it is lawful for my people to perform ablutions with earth (Tayammum) and to cleanse themselves with the soil if water for bathing is scarce.

·I have been sent by Allah to carry His Divine message to the whole world.

·And the line of prophets has come to its final end in me. (Muslim, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)

·The Prophet of Allah (SAW) affirmed: "The chain of Messengers and Prophets has come to an end. There shall be no Messenger nor Prophet after me." (Tirmidhi, Kitab-ur-Rouya Babu Zahab-un- Nubuwwa, Musnad Ahmad, Marwiyat-Anas bin Malik)

·The Holy Prophet  (SAW) observed: "I am Muhammad, I am Ahmad, I am the effacer and infidelity shall be erased through me; I am the assembler. People shall be assembled on Doomsday after my time. (In other words Doom is my only successor.) And I am the last in the sense that no prophet shall succeed me." (Bukhari and Muslim, Kitab-ul-Fada'il, Bab: Asmaun-Nabi; Tirmidhi, Kitab-ul- Adab, Bab: Asma-un-Nabi; Muatta', Kitab-u-Asma in-Nabi, Al- Mustadrak Hakim, Kitab-ut-Tarikh, Bab: Asma-un-Nabi.)

·The Prophet  (SAW) of Allah observed: "God Almighty hath sent unto the world no apostle who did not warn his people about the appearance of Dajjal (Anti-Christ, but Dajjal did not appear in their time). I am the last in the line of Prophets and ye are the last community of believers. Without doubt,then, Dajjal shall appear from amongst ye". (Ibn Majah, Kitabul-fitan, bab:Dajjal).

·'Abdur Rahman bin Jubair reported: "I heard Abdullah bin 'Amr ibn-'As narrating that one day the Holy Prophet (SAW) came out of his house and joined our company. His manner gave us the impression as if he were leaving us.' He said, 'I am Muhammad, the unlettered prophet of Allah' and repeated this statement three times. Then he affirmed: "There will be no prophet after me'." (Musnad Ahmad, Marwiyat'Abdullah bin Amr ibn'-As.)

·The Holy Prophet (SAW) told Hadrat 'Ali, "You are related to me as Aaron was related to Moses(peace be upon him). But no Apostle will come after me." (Bukhari and Muslim, Kitab Fada'il as-Sahaba)

·Thauban reports: "The Holy Prophet (SAW) observed: And there will arise Thirty imposters in my Ummah and each one of them will pronounce to the world that he is a prophet, but I am the last in the line of the Prophets of God and no Apostle will come after me." (Abu Dawud, Kitab-ul-Fitan)

·The Prophet (SAW) of God said: "No Prophet will come after me and there will, therefore, be no other community of followers of any new prophet." (Baihaqi,Kitab-ul Rouya; Tabarani)

·The Holy Prophet observed: "I am the last in line of the prophets of God and my Masjid is the last Masjid (referring the Holy Masjid of the Prophet)." (Muslim, Kitab-ul-Hajj; Bab:Fadl-us-Salat bi Masjidi Mecca wal Medina)

Readers will note that from these authentic AHadith, it is quite clear that there is no Prophet after Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW). However in total disregard to them, Mirza Ghulam A Qadiani claimed that he is prophet of God. This claim is obviously against preaching of Quran and by Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Who will be Imam Mahdi that is predicted in the Ahadith of Holy Prophet Muhammad(SAW)?

Another claim that the founder of Ahmadiyya had put forward is that he is Imam Mahdi. Many Muslims have been trapped by this claim. Let us see what Holy Prophet Muhammad(SAW) had said about the coming of Imam Mahdi.

·The world will not come to pass until a man from among my family, whose name will be my name, rules over the Arabs. (Tirmidhi Sahih, Vol. 9, P. 74; Abu Dawud, Sahih, Vol. 5, P. 207; also narrated by Ali b. Abi Talib, Abu Sa'id, Umm Salma, Abu Hurayra)

·Allah will bring out from concealment al-Mahdi from my family and just before the day of Judgment; even if only one day were to remain in the life of the world, and he will spread on this earth justice and equity and will eradicate tyranny and oppression. (Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Vol. 1, P. 99)

·Even if only a day remains for Qiyamah to come, yet Allah will surely send a man from my family who will fill this world with such justice and fairness, just as it initially was filled with oppression.(Abu Dawood)

·The promised Mahdi will be among my family. God will make the provisions for his emergence within a single night. (Ibn Majah, Sahih, Vol. 2, P. 519)

·The promised Mahdi will be among my progeny, among the descendants of Fatima.(Abu Dawud, Sahih, Vol. 2, P. 207; Ibn Majah, Sahih, Vol. 2, P. 519)

·The Mahdi will be of my family, of the descendants of Fatima (the Prophet's daughter). (Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 2, Tradition No. 4086)

·Al-Mahdi is one of us, the members of the household (Ahlul-Bayt). (Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 2, Tradition No. 4085)

·Our Mahdi will have a broad forehead and a pointed (prominent) nose. He will fill the earth with justice as it is filled with injustice and tyranny. He will rule

for seven years. (Abu Dawud, Sahih, Vol. 2, p. 208; Fusul al-muhimma, p. 275) 

·After the death of a Ruler there will be some dispute between the people. At that time a citizen of Madina will flee (from Madina) and go to Makkah. While in Makkah, certain people will approach him between Hajrul Aswad and Maqaame Ibraheem, and forcefully pledge their allegiance to him. Thereafter a huge army will proceed from Syria to attack him but when they will be at Baida, which is between Makkah and Madina, they will be swallowed into the ground. On seeing this, the Abdaals of Shaam as well as large numbers of people from Iraq will come to him and pledge their allegiance to him. Then a person from the Quraish, whose uncle will be from the Bani Kalb tribe will send an army to attack him, only to be overpowered, by the will of Allah. This (defeated) army will be that of the Bani Kalb. Unfortunate indeed is he who does not receive a share from the booty of the Kalb. This person (Imam Mahdi) will distribute the spoils of war after the battle. He will lead the people according to the Sunnat and during his reign Islam will spread throughout the world. He will remain till seven years (since his emergence). He will pass away and the Muslims will perform his Janazah salaat. (Abu Dawood)

·A group of my Ummah will fight for the truth until near the day of judgment when Jesus, the son of Marry, will descend, and the leader of them will ask him to lead the prayer, but Jesus declines, saying: "No, Verily, among you Allah has made leaders for others and He has bestowed his bounty upon them. (Sahih Muslim)

According to these reliable, authentic, and universally accepted narrations, Imam Mahdi will: 

1.Be from among the family of Prophet(SAW), among the descendants of Fatima(RA); 

2.Have a broad forehead and pointed noise; 

3.Appear in one night; 

4.Appear just before the day of judgment; 

5.Have same name as Hazrat Muhammad(SAW);

6.Escape from Madina to Makkah where people will pledge allegiance to him; 

7.Receive pledge and help of Iraqi people; 

8.Fight in battles; 

9.Rule over the Arabs for seven years according to Sunnah; 

10.Spread justice and equity on earth; 

11.Eradicate tyranny and oppression; 

12.Lead a prayer in Makkah which Jesus(pbuh) will follow in; 

13.NOT be the same individual as the Promised Messiah (Jesus).

Did Mirza Ghulam Qadiani fulfilled these criteria and performed his duties?

Hadith regarding the coming of Hazrat Eisa Ibne Maryam

Mirza claimed that he is the Promised Messiah, Eisa Ibne Maryam, that was prophesiced by the Holy Prophet (SAW),who he will come before the Day of Judgement. Was he correct in his claim? Let us see, what Holy Prophet SAAW said about this:

·"By Him in Whose Hand is my life, Ibn Maryam (Jesus Christ) would certainly pronounce Talbiyah for Hajj or for Umrah or for both (simultaneously as a Qarin) in the valley of Rawha." (Sahih Muslim, Book 7, No. 2877)

·"Allah will send Maseeh ibne Maryam (Messiah son of Mary). Thus he will descend near the White Eastern Minaret of Damascus, clad in two yellow sheets, leaning on the shoulders of two angels." (Sahih Muslim, Vol. 8, P. 192-193)

·"Hazrat Masih(SAW) will die after completing the duration he was destined to pass in the world and that Muslims would offer his funeral prayers and bury him next to the grave of the holy Prophet, Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Umar (RAs)." (Mishkat, P. 480)

By Him in Whose Hand is my life, Ibn Maryam (Jesus Christ) would certainly pronounce Talbiyah for Hajj or for Umrah or for both (simultaneously as a Qarin) in the valley of Rawha. (Sahih Muslim, Book 7, No. 2877)

·"By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, Son of Mary (Jesus) will shortly descend amongst you people (Muslims) as a just ruler and will break the Cross and kill the pig and abolish the Jizyah (a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government). Then there will be abundance of money and no one will accept charitable gifts." (Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 3, Book 34, No. 425)

Mujammi Ibn Jariyah al-Ansari(RA) stated that he heard the Messenger of Allah(SAW) say: The son of Mary will kill the Anti-Christ (Dajjal) at the door of Ludda. (Tirmidhi and Ahmad)

According to these authentic and universally accepted Hadith:

1.    The Promised Messiah is none other than Hazrat Isa bin Maryam(pbuh) (Jesus);

2.    He will descend among Muslims, near the White Eastern Minaret of Damascus, Syria, clad in two yellow sheets (dyed with saffron), while leaning on the shoulders of two angels;

3.    He will pray behind Imam Mahdi;

4.    He will fight with, chase, and kills Dajjal (the Anti-Christ) at the gate of Ludd;

5.    Messiah will rule justly according to the Laws of Islam and not Gospel;

6.    People of the Book will accept him as a Messenger of Allah(SWT) and will embrace Islam (Quran 4:159); subsequently, Cross (Christianity) and Jizyah tax (on non-Muslims) will be abolished;

7.    He will encounter attack of Gog and Magog and will be victorious;

8.    Islam and justice will rule, oppression will be eliminated, and no fighting (War) will be needed (will be abolished);

9.    Everyone will be well off and hatred, jealousy, and grudge will disappear;

10.                       Messiah will perform Hajj and/or Umra;

11.                       He will die after living on earth for 40 years and will be buried in a grave next to the holy Prophet(SAW).

His advent is a sign for the closeness of the day of Judgment (Quran, 43:61)

Did Mirza Ghulam A Qadiani fulfil any of these conditions, which Holy Prophet SAAW swore that they would take place?

Was Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani, the Prophet or the Promised Messiah or Imam Mahdi?

Read carefully these Ahadith, look at the state of Muslim world. Mirza knew that he was lying about being a Prophet of God, or Promised Messiah or Imam Mahdi, because:

·Mirza was son of Chiragh Bibi, and not Son of Mary!

·He did not belong to the family of Holy Prophet SAAW.

·He never got a chance to rule the country and establish justice.

Mirza Qadiani admitted:

·"I do not claim that I am the same Mahdi who will come according to (words of Hadith) 'from the son of Fatima and from my progeny' etc." (Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya V, Roohani Khazain vol.21 p.356)

·"We admit this that several Mahdis may have come before and possibly will come in future as well and probably someone by the name of Imam Muhammad may also appear." (Roohani Khazain vol.3 p.379)

·"It is possible and quite possible that at some time in future such Messiah may appear upon whom the literal words of Hadith(of Holy Prophet) fit, because this humble self has not come with the Reign and Command of this world, but with poverty and humility." (Izala-e-Auham, Roohani Khazain vol 3 p.197)

·"It is possible that in future no Messiah may come. It is possible 10,000 more Messiah may come and one of them may descend in Damascus." (Izala-e-Auham, Roohani Khazain vol 3 p.251)

Dear Brothers! Mirza knew that he is not that Imam Mahdi, the Divine Leader that is promised by Holy Prophet SAAW, yet his followers keep insisting that he was Imam Mahdi. If he is Imam Mahdi, then obviously he miserably failed to do his job.

Dear Readers! Mirza himself was aware that whatever he has claimed is totally against what has been mentioned by Holy Prophet Muhammad but he was so overcome by his satanic desires that he did not realize that he is committing blasphemy. He justified his claims by saying:

"The basis for our claims is not Hadith but Quran and that Wahi which comes to me. Yes, in support we also present those Hadith which are according to Quran and DO NOT CONTRADICT MY WAHI. Rest of the Hadith, I THROW THEM AWAY LIKE A WASTE PAPER." (Roohani Khazain vol.19 p.140)

Dear Readers! It is clear that the founder of Ahmadiyya Movement had laid claims contradictory to Quran and Hadith. The Islamic scholars of Makkah, Madina, Cairo and the entire Muslim world declared as apostate, disbelievers, and out of the fold of Islam, him and his followers. He died 100 years ago, but his followers continue to deceive people in the name of Islam. Ignorance from Islamic teachings, and, ignorance from Mirza Ghulam and his teachings is the basic fault, which is exploited by the missionaries of Ahmadiyya. It is the duty of every Muslim to be on their guard against such deception. No Muslim should be allowed to get trapped out of ignorance. Knowingly if someone joins them, then of course there is no compulsion in religion.

May Allah protect Muslims from the fraudulent doctrine of Ahmadiyya/Qadianiyah movement in the name of Islam. O Allah! Bring ignorant Muslims who have been trapped by them, back to the fold of Islam, let them see what is right and what is wrong and then give them the hidayah to follow the right path. Ameen.
