Once, Mirza Qadiani arranged to convene a discussion with a local head of the episcopal diocese named Atham. Argumentations continued for fifteen days. When Mirza could not beat his adversary, he invoked Allah for a decision. He pronounced that Allah had made this decision for Atham: This liar would be thrown into ‘Ha via‘ (Hell) within fifteen months from June 5, 1893. 

Mirza predicted these words in his book ‘Junge-Muqaddas’ p.293.

He wrote… 

“I admit right now that if this prediction goes false, i.e., if within fifteen months from this day, the party deemed to be a liar in Allah’s view does not fall into ‘Ha via’ as death punishment, then I am prepared to undergo every type of punishment: disgrace me, blacken my face, collar a rope around my neck or hang me on the gallows. I am prepared for everything”. 

The time limit started shrinking, and Qadiani Jamaat was certain that Atham would die within fifteen months because Sire Mirza Qadiani had written: 

“And I swear by the greatness of Allah that He will certainly do so, will certainly do so; will certainly do so; the earth and sky may deviate but not His ordainments.” 

As the zero hour drew nearer and the countdown started, Mirza Qadiani madly shouted: 

“If I am a liar, keep the gallows ready for me and consider me the most accursed of all the accursed persons, the evil-doers and the satans”. (Jung-e-Muqaddas, last page). 

During the night preceding the avowed daybreak, the town of Qadian went into a drone of tumult and tribulation. Men and women, big and small, rubbed their noses on the earth, lamenting: 

“O Allah, Atham may die; O Allah, Atham be dead!
“O Allah, send a bolt from the blue for Atham!” 

They were certain Atham would not live to see the dawn of the next day. On his part, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani worked out sorcery spells the whole night before Atham’s death and had charms recited over black grams to be thrown into blind dry wells. (Seerat-ul-Mahdi, Vol. 1: p:178; Vol. 2 p:7). 

Despite all invocations, contrivances, and hullabaloo, Atham saw the dawn and many more dawns for many years. Thus, Allah the Exalted testified that: 

*Mirza’s prediction was not a divine revelation;
*Mirza’s prediction was his imposture;
*Mirza deserved the punishment he had proposed on himself, that is, 
–“Disgrace me”
–“Blacken my face”
–“Collar a rope around my neck”
–“Hang me on the gallows”.

The post False Predictions of a False Prophet – 2 appeared first on Alislaam.

“Remember, if the second part of this prediction does not come about, I should be deemed worse than every wicked.”
What was the second part of the prediction Mirza Qadiani referred to?
I shall tell one who may not know it. It was a prediction made by Mirza for his second marriage to an already-married lady called Muhammadi Begum; that is, when her husband would die, Muhammadi Begum, the widow, will marry Mirza Qadiani. 

This was the second part of his prediction to which he referred in his above writing (in his book Anjam-e-Atham) 

But luck did not smile over Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani, the dejected Romeo. The elusive bride could not be got hold of because her husband, the rival-in-love, Sultan Muhammad, did not die. Instead, the angel of death came to help Mirza Ghulam Ahmad pack up, to carry him to the higher storey! Therefore, this cavalier don met no success with the dona.

I tell you and also your Jamaat of a simple way for obtaining Allah’s guidance: Recite Darood Shareef 313 times before going to sleep and weep bitterly, in solitude, before Allah, uttering these words: 

‘Ya Allah! In the name of Your mercy and by the grace of Your benevolent Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) grant us guidance to come out of deviations and pardon us for all those errors of faith and practices which we have committed so far!’ 

If any person belonging to your Jamaat or you yourself acted upon my advice, I am certain Insha Allah, a vista of true Guidance, shall certainly open up before him.

Throughout the history of Islam, a few individuals — driven either by the desperate state of Muslims in their community or a selfish pursuit of power and prestige — laid claim to being Mahdi and found a following among the uninformed masses, looking for salvation from the heavens.  For some of these individuals (like Bab of Iran or Mirza Ghulam of India), the claim to being Mahdi was just a stepping stone to the development of heretic sects, which broke away from the fold of Islam.  Thus, it is at least prudent to visit the facts of this prophecy and avoid falling prey to false claimants that will appear from time to time. 

As Muslims, we should remember that the prophecy about Mahdi is one that will come to pass. This prophecy, however, does not absolve the Muslim ummah from its duty to strive in the cause of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), oppose injustice, and seek peace and betterment of the human condition. Centuries have passed from the time of the holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) and there is a good possibility that many more will expire before the advent of Al Mahdi. Muslims who are negligent in their duty hoping for a savior are committing a grave mistake and are not following the divine decrees ordained in the Quran or taught by Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). 

The following is the collection of Sahih (authentic) Hadith regarding Mahdi. 

Hadhrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (RA) reports from the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam), who said: 

“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 ibn Abi Talib, Abu Sa’id, Umm Salma, Abu Hurayra) 

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

“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) 

Hadhrat Ali (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

“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) 

Ali b. Abi Talib (RA) has related a tradition from the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) who informed him: 

“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) 

Ummul Momineen Hazrat Umme Salmah (RA) narrates that she heard the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) say: 

“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) 

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) announced: 

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

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) told: 

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

Abu Sa’id al-Khudari (RA) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

“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) 

Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khudri (RA) relates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

“Al Mahdi will be from my progeny. His forehead will be broad and his nose will be high. He will fill the world with justice and fairness at a time when the world will be filled with oppression. He will rule for seven years.” 

Hadhrat Umme Salmah (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

The holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

“A group of my Ummah will fight for the truth until near the day of judgment when Jesus, the son of Mary, 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) 

It is reported from Abu Hurayra (RA) that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

“What will be your reaction when the son of Mary (Jesus) descends, and your Imam is from among yourselves?”
(Sahih Muslim, bab nuzul ‘isa, Vol. 2; Sahih Bukhari, kitab bad’ al-khalq wa nuzul ‘isa, Vol. 4) 

The holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

“What would be your situation if the Son of Mary (i.e., Jesus) descends upon you and your Imam is from among you?”
(Bukhari, kitabul-Anbiya, Chapter Nuzul Isa bin Maryam) 

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

1. Be from among the family of Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam), among the descendants of Fatima (RadhiAllahu Anha); 
2. Have a broad forehead and pointed noise; 
3. Appear in one night; 
4. Appear just before the day of judgment; 
5. Have the same name as Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam); 
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 Mekkah, which Jesus (peace be upon him) will follow in; 
13. NOT be the same individual as the Promised Messiah (Jesus). 

The following narrations have been taken from books on which there is no consensus among Muslim scholars. Their authenticity is in question. 

The holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

“The world will not come to an end until a man from my family (ahl al-Bayt), who will be called al-Mahdi, emerges to rule upon my community.”
(Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51, P. 75; Ithbat al-hudat, Vol. 1, P. 9) 

Umme Salmah (RA), the wife of the Prophet, has related a tradition of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam): 

“Mahdi will be among my progeny, among the children of Fatima.”
(Bihar al-anwar, Vol. 51, P. 75) 

Rasullullah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

“The world will not come to an end until a man from the descendants of Hussain takes charge of the affairs of the world and fills it with justice and equity as it is filled with injustice and tyranny.”
(Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51, P. 66) 

Abu Sa’id al-Khudari (RA) has related a tradition from the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam), who declared: 

“The earth will be filled with injustice and corruption. At that time, a man from among my progeny will rise and will rule for seven or nine years and will fill the earth with justice and equity.”
(Ahmad b. Hanbal, Musnad, Vol. 3, P. 27) 

Abu al-Hujaf (RA) quotes the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) saying three times: 

“Listen to the good news about the Mahdi! He will rise at a time when people will be faced with severe conflict, and the earth will be hit by a violent quake. He will fill the earth with justice and equity as it is filled with injustice and tyranny. He will fill the hearts of his followers with devotion and will spread justice everywhere.”
(Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51, P. 74) 

Ali b. Abi Talib (RA) said, I asked the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam): 

“Is Mahdi going to be among our own family or from some other?” He replied: “He will be among us. God will conclude His religion through him, just as He began it with us. It will be through us that people will find refuge from sedition, just as it was through us that they were saved from polytheism. Moreover, it will be through us that God will bring their hearts together in brotherhood following the animosity sown by the sedition, just as they were brought together in brotherhood in their religion after the animosity sown by polytheism.”
(Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51, P. 84; Ithbat al-hudat, Vol. 7, P. 191; Majma` al-zawa’id by `Ali b. Abi Bakr Haythami (Cairo edition), Vol. 7, P. 317) 

I heard the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) declare from the pulpit: 

“The Mahdi from among my descendants, from my family, will rise at the End of Time, while the heavens will pour rain and the earth will bring forth green grass for him. He will fill the earth with justice and equity as it is filled with tyranny and injustice.”
(Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51, P. 74; Ithbat al-hudat, Vol. 7, P. 9) 

Abu Sa’id al-Khudari (RA) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

“Severe calamity from the direction of their ruler will befall my people during the Last Days. It will be a calamity which, in severity, shall be unprecedented. It will be so violent that the earth, with injustice and corruption, will shrivel for its inhabitants. The believers will not find refuge from oppression. At that time, God will send a man from my family to fill the earth with justice and equity just as it is filled with injustice and tyranny. The dwellers of the heavens and the earth will be pleased with him. The earth will bring forth all that grows for him, and the heavens will pour down rains in abundance. He will live among the people for seven or nine years. From all the good that God will bestow on the inhabitants of the earth, the dead will wish to come to life again.”
(Ibn Hajar, al-Sawa’iq al-muharriqa, P. 161; Yanabi’ al-mawadda, Vol. 2, P. 177) 

Abu Hurayra (RA) narrated on behalf of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam): 

“People will pay allegiance to the Mahdi between rukn and maqam (in Makkah).”
(Ibn Tawus, Kitab al-malahim wa al-fitan, P. 64.) 

According to these hadith, Mahdi will: 

1. Be from the Family of Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) and descend from Hussain (RA), son of Fatima (RA) ; 
2. Appear at the end of time; 
3. Appear when the earth is filled with injustice and tyranny and believers are severely oppressed; 
4. Appear when a severe earthquake will occur and green grass will grow (presumably in Arabia); 
5. Fill the earth with justice and equity; 
6. Spread brotherhood, equity, and devotion among Muslims; 
7. Rule over the Muslim community, according to Hadith, for seven or nine years; 
8. Live and act with the qualities of the holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). 

The following are narrations not attributed to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) and only represent second-hand narrations attributed to companions of the holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). Thus, they are included only for completeness and are unreliable. 

Ammar Yasir has related: 

“At the time when Nafs al-Zakiyya is killed, a caller from the heaven will say: ‘Your commander is so-and-so.’ (announce Mahdi) Following it, the Mahdi will emerge and fill the earth with justice and equity.”
(Ibn Tawus, Kitab al-malahim wa al-fitan, P. 179) 

Abd Allah b. Umar mentioned the name of Mahdi in the presence of an Arab who said: Mahdi is Mu’awiya b. Abu Sufyan. Abd Allah said: 

“It is not as you say. Mahdi is a person behind whom Jesus will offer his prayers.”
(Ibn Tawus, Kitab al-malahim wa al-fitan, P. 179) 

Mujahid said about Mahdi: 

“One of the Prophet’s companions told me that the Mahdi will not appear until that time when Nafs al-Zakiyya will be killed. At that time, he will take command and fill the earth with justice and equity.”
(Ibn Tawus, Kitab al-malahim wa al-fitan, P. 171) 

Nufayl’s daughter Umayra narrates that she heard Hasan b. Ali’s daughter saying: 

“This affair about which you are waiting will not occur until among you some seek to distance themselves from the others and curse each other.”
(Majlisi, Bihar al-anwar, Vol. 52, P. 211) 

Salma b. Zafar reports that one day, people were talking about the appearance of the Mahdi in the presence of Hudhayfa. Hudhayfa said: 

“If Mahdi has indeed appeared while you are living close to the Prophet’s period and while his companions are living among you, then you are truly fortunate. However, that is not the case. Mahdi will not appear until people are devoured by oppression and tyranny, and there is no one absent more beloved and more needed than him.”
(Kitab al-hawi li al-fatawa, Vol. 2, P. 159) 

These narrations are based on the opinion of single individuals and are not reliable. However, they indicate that Mahdi might: 

1. Not appear until all Muslims are divided and curse each other (i.e., no brotherhood); 
2. Appear when tyranny and oppression rule and no Muslim is free; 
3. Be announced by a voice from the heavens; 
4. Fill the earth with justice and equity; 
5. Lead the prayer which Jesus (pbuh) will follow. 

The following narration has not been attributed to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). It has been identified as false and has been rejected by Muslim scholars for centuries. 

Amr, son of Shamer, quoted Jabir, who quoted Mohammed bin Ali to have said: 

“For our Mahdi, there are two signs. Since the birth of the Universe, these events have never taken place. Those two signs are that there will be a Lunar Eclipse on the first night of Ramadhan and a Solar Eclipse in the middle of Ramadhan.”
(Dar-e-Qatni, Vol. 1, P.188) 

Note: 

This narration is not attributed to the holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) but attributed to Mohammed bin Ali. No other person has substantiated this alleged statement of Mohammed bin Ali. 

Muslim scholars have always rejected this and other narrations of Amr and Jabir, as both have been known to transmit unreliable and forged narrations.

The post Identification of the Prophesied Imam Mahdi appeared first on Alislaam.

Among these, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) has foretold the return of Isa (pbuh) (Jesus), which will materialize when a one-eyed claimant to divinity (Dajjal or Anti-Christ) will attempt to misguide the humanity into worshipping him. Messiah will descend from the heavens in Damascus, pray behind Imam Mahdi, chase and kill the Dajjal, destroy the savage and unbelieving armies of Gog and Magog, and bring peace and brotherhood to the world. 

Every one of the people of the book will recognize the truth and accept him only as a Messenger of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala); the religion of Allah, Islam, will justly rule the world. 

“And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (i.e., Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) before his death. And on the Day of Judgment, He will be a witness against them.”
(The Holy Quran, An-Nisa, 4:159) 

There will be no oppression and no need to fight oppressors (war will be abolished) and no need to collect Jizyah (since there will be no non-Muslim people of the Book to collect this tax from). Every human being will be well-off, and no one will accept charity.  Messiah will perform Hajj and/or Umra, marry, remain married for 19 years, beget children, and die after living on earth for 40 years. His death will signal the beginning of the last days: 

“And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way.”
(Quran, Az-Zukhuruf, 43:61) 

Unfortunately, counting on the general ignorance of Muslims regarding this entire prophecy, a few individuals have laid claim to being the Messiah and managed to misguide some people. For some of these individuals (like Mirza Ghulam of India), the claim to being Messiah was just a stepping stone to his claim of prophethood and the creation of a cult that broke away from the religion of Allah^{(Subhanahu wa Ta’ala)}. It is, therefore, at least prudent to learn the truth about this prophecy and avoid falling prey to false claimants that will appear from time to time. 

As Muslims, we should remember that the prophecy about the Messiah is one that will come to pass. This prophecy, however, does not absolve the Muslim ummah from its duty to strive for the cause of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), oppose injustice, and seek peace and betterment of the human condition. Centuries have passed since the time of the holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam), and there is a good possibility that many more will expire before the advent of the Promised Messiah. Muslims who are negligent in their duty hoping for a savior are committing a grave mistake and are not following the divine decrees ordained in the Quran or taught by Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). 

The following represent a few of the over 110 Ahadith regarding the advent of the Promised Messiah and the fact that he will be none other than Jesus (pbuh), son of Mary: 

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA) that the Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

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 an abundance of money, and no one will accept charitable gifts.
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 3, Book 34, No. 425) 

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA) that Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

The Hour will not be established until the Son of Mary (i.e., Jesus) descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizyah tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts).
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 3, Book 43, No. 656) 

Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) declared: 

I swear by Him in Whose hands is my life that soon there will descend among you Hazrat Isa Ibn-e-Mariam as a Just Ruler; so (he) will break the ‘cross,’ kill swine, and prohibit war!
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, No. 668, Book of Prophets, P. 490) 

Narrated by Abu Huraira (RA), he heard Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) say: 

By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus) the Son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs, and there will be no Jizyah (i.e. taxation taken from non-Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it.” Abu Huraira added, “If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the Holy Book): — “And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (i.e., Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) before his death. And on the Day of Judgment, He will be a witness against them.” (Quran 4:159)
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 55, No. 657; Fateh-ul Bari, Vol. 7, P. 302) 

A similar narration by Ata (RA) has been recorded by Muslim with the following sentence added at the end: 

Mutual hatred, jealousy, and grudge will disappear. 

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA) that Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

How will you be when the Son of Mary (i.e., Jesus) descends amongst you, and he will judge people by the law of the Quran and not by the law of the Gospel?
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 55, No. 658; Fateh-ul Bari, Vol. 7, P. 304-305) 

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA) that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace be upon him). He will descend (to the earth). When you see him, recognize him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it would not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years, and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.
(Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 37, No. 4310) 

It is reported by Anas (RA) that the holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

Whosoever from amongst you lives to see Jesus, son of Mary, he should convey my greetings to him.
(Hakim) 

Jabir ibn Abdullah (RA) narrated, I heard the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) say: 

A section of my people will not cease fighting for the Truth and will prevail till the Day of Resurrection. He said Jesus, Son of Mary, will then descend, and their (Muslims’) commander (Al Mahdi) will invite him to come and lead them in prayer, but he will say: No, some amongst you are commanders over some (amongst you). This is the honor from Allah for this Ummah.
(Sahih Muslim, Book 1, No. 0293) 

Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

Allah will send Maseeh ibn 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) 

It is reported by Aws Ibn Aws al-Thaqafi (RA) that Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

Jesus, son of Mary, will descend near the white minaret towards the east of Damascus.
(Tabarani) 

Narrated by Ibn Abbas (RA), the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

On the night of my Ascent to Heaven, I saw Moses, who was a tall, brown, curly-haired man as if he was one of the men of the Shan’awa tribe, and I saw Jesus, a man of medium height and moderate complexion inclined to the red and white colors and of lank hair. I also saw Malik, the gatekeeper of the (Hell) Fire and Ad-Dajjal, amongst the signs that Allah showed me. (The Prophet then recited the Holy Verse) “So be not you in doubt of meeting him’ when you met Moses during the night of Mi’raj over the heavens (Quran, 32:23)”.
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 54, No. 462) 

Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

I saw myself (in a dream) near the Ka’ba last night, and I saw a man with a whitish red complexion, the best you may see amongst men of that complexion, having long hair reaching his earlobes, which was the best hair of its sort, and he had combed his hair and water was dropping from it, and he was performing the Tawaf around the Ka’ba while he was leaning on two men or on the shoulders of two men. I asked, ‘Who is this man?’ Somebody replied, ‘(He is) Messiah, Son of Mary.’ Then I saw another man with very curly hair, blind in the right eye which looked like a protruding out grape. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ Somebody replied, ‘(He is) Messiah, Ad-Dajjal.‘
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 9, Book 87, No. 128) 

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

I dreamt at night that I was at the Kabah, and I saw a dark man like the most handsome of dark men you have ever seen. He had hair reaching between his ears and his shoulders like the most excellent of such hair that you have seen. He had combed his hair, and water was dripping from it. He was leaning on two men or on the shoulders of two men doing tawaf around Kabah. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ It was said, ‘al-Masih ibn Maryam.’ Then we were with a man with wiry hair and blind in his right eye as if it was a floating grape. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ It was said to me, ‘This is al-Masih ad-Dajjal.’
(Malik’s Muwatta, Book 49, No. 49.2.2) 

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA) that Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

On the night of my Ascension to Heaven, I saw (the prophet) Moses, who was a thin person with lank hair, looking like one of the men of the tribe of Shanua, and I saw Jesus, who was of average height with a red face as if he had just come out of a bathroom (shower)??? Please check the exact words…
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 55, No. 607) 

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr (RA) that: 

Someone came to him and said: What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour will come at a certain time? Thereupon, he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or words to the same effect). I have decided that I shall not narrate anything to anyone now. I have only said that you will see after some time an important event: the (sacred) House (Ka’bah) will be burnt, and it will definitely happen. 

He then reported that Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: The Dajjal will appear in my Ummah, and he will stay (in the world) for forty — I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months, or forty years. Allah will then send Jesus, son of Mary, who will resemble Urwah ibn Mas’ud. He (Jesus Christ) will chase him and kill him. Then, people will live for seven years, during which time there will be no rancor between any two persons. After that, Allah will send a cold wind from the direction of Syria. None will survive on Earth, having a speck of good in him or faith in him: he will die. Even if some among you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and cause your death. 

I heard Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) saying: Only the wicked people will survive, and they will be as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They will never appreciate good nor condemn evil…
(Sahih Muslim, Book 40, No. 7023) 

Narrated Abdullah (RA), the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) mentioned the Messiah Ad-Dajjal in front of the people, saying: 

Allah is not one-eyed, while Messiah, Ad-Dajjal, is blind in the right eye, and his eye looks like a bulging out grape. While sleeping near the Ka’ba last night, I saw in my dream a man of brown color, the best one can see amongst brown color, and his hair was long that it fell between his shoulders. His hair was lank, and water was dribbling from his head and he was placing his hands on the shoulders of two men while circumambulating the Kabah. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ They replied, ‘This is Jesus, son of Mary.’ Behind him, I saw a man who had very curly hair and was blind in the right eye, resembling Ibn Qatan (i.e., an infidel) in appearance. He was placing his hands on the shoulders of a person while performing Tawaf around the Ka’ba. I asked, ‘Who is this? ‘They replied, ‘The Masih, Ad-Dajjal.’
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 55, No. 649) 

Hanzalah al-Aslami reported to have heard Abu Huraira (RA) as narrating from Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam): 

By Him in Whose Hand is my life, Ibn Maryam (Jesus Christ) will 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’s Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

Hazrat Masih (pbuh) will die after completing the duration he was destined to pass in the world, and the Muslims will 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) 

Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

After his descent on earth, Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) will marry. He will have children, and he will remain on earth 19 years after marriage. He will pass away, and Muslims will perform his Janaza Salaat  (funeral prayers) and bury him next to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). (Tirmidhi) 

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA) that Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

…Satan will cry: The Dajjal has taken your place among your families. They will then come out, but it will be of no avail. When they reach Syria, he will come out while they are still preparing themselves for battle, drawing up the ranks. 

Certainly, the time of prayer will come, and then Jesus (peace be upon him), Son of Mary, will descend and lead them in prayer. When the enemy of Allah sees him, it will (disappear) just as salt dissolves in water, and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then, it will dissolve completely. Allah will kill them by his hand, and he will show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ).
(Sahih Muslim, Book 40, No. 6924) 

Narrated An-Nawwas ibn Sam’an (RA) that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

…He will then call (that young man), and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness). It will be at this very time that Allah will send Christ, son of Mary. He will descend at the white minaret on the eastern side of Damascus, wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from his head, and when he raises it up, beads like pearls will scatter from it. Every non-believer who smells the odor of his body will die, and his breath will reach as far as he is able to see. He will then search for him (Dajjal) until he catches hold of him at the gate of Ludd (Jerusalem) and kills him. 

Then, a people whom Allah had protected will come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he will wipe their faces and inform them of their ranks in Paradise. It will be under such conditions that Allah will reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from among My servants such people against whom none will be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur, and then Allah will send Gog and Magog, and they will swarm down from every slope. The first of them will pass the lake of Tiberias and drink out of it. And when the last of them passes, he will say: There was once water there…
(Sahih Muslim, Book 40, No. 7015) 

Mujammi Ibn Jariyah al-Ansari (RA) stated that he heard the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) say: 

The son of Mary will kill the Anti-Christ (Dajjal) at the door of Ludda.
(Tirmidhi and Ahmad) 

Abdullah Bin Umar (RA) reported that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) said: 

How can the Ummah perish of which I am at the beginning and Jesus, son of Mary, is at the end?
(Hakim and Nasai) 

Narrated Hudhayfah ibn Usayd Ghifari (RA): 

Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a discussion) He said:
“What are you talking about?” (the Companions) said: “We are discussing about the Last Hour.” Thereupon, he said:
It will not come until you see ten signs before and (in this connection) he made a mention of the smoke, Dajjal, the beast, the rising of the sun from the west, the descent of Jesus son of Mary (Allah be pleased with him), The Gog and Magog, and landslides in three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia at the end of which fire would burn forth from Yemen, and would drive people to the place of their assembly.
(Sahih Muslim, Book 40, No. 6931) 

According to these authentic and universally accepted Hadith: 

1. The Promised Messiah is none other than Hazrat Isa bin Maryam (pbuh) (Jesus); 
2. He is a man of medium height and moderate complexion inclined to the red and white colors and of lank hair; 
3. 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; 
4. He will pray behind Imam Mahdi; 
5. He will fight with, chase, and kill Dajjal (the Anti-Christ) at the gate of Ludd; 
6. Messiah will rule justly according to the Laws of Islam and not the Gospel; 
7. People of the Book will accept him as a Messenger of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and will embrace Islam (Quran 4:159); subsequently, the Cross (Christianity) and Jizyah tax (on non-Muslims) will be abolished; 
8. He will encounter an attack of Gog and Magog and will be victorious; 
9. Islam and justice will rule, oppression will be eliminated, and no fighting (War) will be needed (will be abolished); 
10. Everyone will be well off, and hatred, jealousy, and grudge will disappear; 
11. Messiah will perform Hajj and/or Umra; 
12. He will get married, remain married for 19 years before his death, and have children; 
13. He will die after living on earth for 40 years and will be buried in a grave next to the holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). His advent is a sign of the closeness of the day of Judgment (Quran, 43:61); 
14. Afterwards, all believers will die before the advent of the day of Judgment, and the other prophecies will take place.

All praises to Allah Almighty and Peace be upon the holy Prophet and his Companions (Sahabah). 

The holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) once defined “Faith” as advice and included it among one of the obligations of our faith for the Muslim Ummah. 

Therefore, the universal body of Ulama wishes to invite the Muslim Ummah’s attention to an important universal and religious matter: “The Qadiani problem.” 

This group (the so-called Ahmadi or Ahmadiya group) was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmed from Qadian, a town in the district of Gurdaspur in India. He started his campaign by confronting non-Muslims in polemics. Later, he started making improbable claims when he found people reposing faith in him. 

• In 1884, he claimed to be a “Mujaddid” of the 14th century. 
• In 1891, he disclosed a revelation: “Prophet Isa alaihis salaam is dead, and thou art now the promised Masih as described in the holy Quran and Hadith.” 
• In 1892, he claimed to be both Masih and Mahdi. 
• In 1901, he claimed that whereas Christ is described as a “nabi” (prophet) in a Hadith [Sahih Muslim], he, too, was a “nabi” or prophet. 
• In one of his pamphlets, “Ek Ghalati Ka Izalah,” he claimed that he was exactly the same as Muhammed-ur-Rasool Allah (Allah forbid). In other words, he proclaimed himself the reincarnation of the holy Prophet and his prophethood (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). ¹

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad pronounced the following articles of faith/beliefs to his followers:

Belief No. 1
That the holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) has reappeared in the shape and person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani, and in the verse of the Holy Qu’ran “MUHAMMAD-UR-RUSULLAH WALL LAZEENA MA’HU” Muhammad ur-Rasullah stands for Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. (Ek Ghalati Ka Izalah). 

Belief No. 2
The Qadiani faith places Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in the same respect, status, nomenclature, and honor as that of the holy prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). (Al-Fazl, September 16, 1925, Qadiani Mazhab, p. 275). 

Belief No. 3
The Qadiani faith enjoins upon all human beings to accept Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as we recognize the holy prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) because, from the 14th century onward, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is a proclaimed prophet (Tazkirah p. 260). 

Belief No. 4
The Qadiani faith considers Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as Khatam-ul-Anbia, the last prophet. (Al Fazl, 26th Sept 1915). 

Belief No. 5
The Qadiani faith claims that the highest throne amongst the heavenly thrones is that of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. (Haqiqatul Wahi, p. 89). 

Belief No. 6
The Qadiani faith claims that Islam was just like a crescent of opening night (Shedding no light), while the Islam of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s time is shining bright like the full moon of the 14th night. (Khutba-e-Ilhamiyah, p. 183). 

Belief No. 7
The Qadiani faith claims that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s spiritualism is much better and more comprehensive than that of the holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). (Khutbat Ilhamiyah, p. 181). 

Belief No. 8
The Qadiani faith claims that in this age, following the holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) alone is not ‘madaare-e-nijat’ (basis of salvation), but the madaar-e-nijat’ is obedience to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. (Arbaeen No. 4, p. 7). 

Belief No. 9
The Qadiani faith deems everyone disobedient to Allah and Rasool and hell-bound if one does not follow Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. (Istihar Meyar Alakhbar, dated 25 May, 1900). 

Belief No. 10
The Qadiani faith termed all those persons as infidels and outside the pale of Islam if they did not declare faith in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad even though they did not hear his name. (Aina-e-Sadaqat, p. 35).

The above-cited beliefs are a few examples of hundreds of misleading and blasphemous beliefs of the Qadianis. The learned Ulemas from East to West have, therefore, declared in their unanimous “fatwas” since Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s times that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his followers are infidels, “murtad” and “zindeeq” (See Fatawa section on this website). 

Furthermore, Rabita Aalam-e-Islami, the paramount religious organization of the Muslim World, in its meeting held in April 1974 (Rabiul Awwal 1394 AH), exhorted all of the Muslim world to enforce a ban on the activities of the Qadianis within their countries. The Majma-e-Alfiqahal Islami, in their meeting on 22-28 December 1985 at Jeddah, called Qadianiat infidelity and “zindiqah”. 

It seems proper to mention here some of the activities indulged in by the Qadianis for the information of Muslim Ummah as follows:

1. The Qadiani group is busy in its propaganda campaign against the Government of Pakistan and religious circles with active connivance and backing of lobbies and media of Western countries from their base newly created at “Islamabad” in London, United Kingdom.

2. They have acquired an international channel via satellite to transmit their faith in the guise of Islam. This will create misunderstanding about the Muslim religion amongst those youngsters who do not possess sufficient religious knowledge.

3. Talented young men from Muslim countries are lured for lucrative jobs in foreign countries. They are asked to fill in Qadiani forms on the pretext that political asylum will be sought for their settlement due to their victimization because of their faith. Any applications made for political asylum by Qadianis in countries other than Pakistan need careful scrutiny through Pakistan Embassies in those countries.

5. The Qadianis are busy distributing literature as well as wrong and confusing translations of the holy Qur’an in the Muslim countries of the world. This is misleading the innocent and ignorant Muslims, who fall prey to their fraud. We must stop this nuisance by taking appropriate preventative measures.

6. We hope our brother Muslims will realize their religious and universal obligations and take all necessary actions to suppress the evil designs of the Qadiani movement.

      (Roohany Kazaen, Vol. 9, P. 31; Anwar ul Islam, P. 30) 

“Are they prepared to swear?  No, they’ll never do so because they are liars and are derooting the corpse of falsehood like dogs.”
      (Supplement to Anjam-e-Atham, P. 25; Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 309) 

His eulogy about Maulvi Saadullah Ludhianwi was: 

“I look a sinful man among debauched who is more scoundrel and an execrated being like Satan…
He who is called Saadullah by the ignorant is a slanderer, wicked, and a falsifier…
You injured me, bastard.  I won’t be truthful if you won’t have a disgraceful death.” (Haqiqat-ul Wahi, P. 14-15; Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 22, P. 734-735) 

“If Abdullah Athum is saved from death (as per Mirza’s prophecy) and if all the world says the Christian was correct, then the bastard will not follow the right path.”
      (Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 9, P. 32) 

“Abdul Haq is not content with our victories.  He is itching to become a bastard.”
       (Anwar-ul-Islam, P. 30) 

“There is nothing more foul than a pig in the world.  But the ulema who oppose me are more foul than pigs.”
      (Anjam-i-Atham, P. 21) 

“You have inflicted pain on me with your foulness.  You are not truthful.  I pray that you die in shame, you son of a harlot.”
     (Anjam-i-Atham, P. 288) 

“This bastard of a doctor does not thread the straight path.”
      (Anwar-ul-Islam, P. 30) 

He called Shaikhul Islam Saanaullah of Amristar:
   “O, the son of wind, o traitor…”
      (Ijaz-i-Ahmadi, P. 43/77) 

The puzzling thing is that he wrote: 

“I have never abused anyone.”
      (Moahiburahman, P. 18) 

“He is worst who is abusive, his heart is as filthy as Latrine.”
      (Sar-e-Sumain, P. 74) 

“Abuses and rebukes are not the acts of  a believer and a believer cannot be a curser.“
     (Azalat-ul-Auham, P. 66) 

Is this how a Prophet or even a rightly guided individual would speak? 

COULD HE BE A PROPHET??? 

The post Could He be a Prophet appeared first on Alislaam.

Mirza Ghulam Qadiani was born in 1839-40 in the county of Qadian, Gurdaspur district in Punjab, India, to a Mughal family. His father’s name was Ghulam Murtada and his mother’s name was Charagh Bibi. Mirza’s family was in the service of the British government and represented the British interest to the extent of supporting the British forces during the Islamic War of Independence. 

Mirza received early education from his father and other teachers in the village and was given a humble job in the office of the deputy commissioner. During his employment, he participated in and failed promotional exams for better assignments. Discouraged with his failures, he returned home to take care of the family business. Up to this period in his life, Mirza Qadiani was an ordinary Muslim; he had the Aqeedah (the belief) of Muslims and believed in the finality of the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). 

At about the same time, the British government, wary of anti-British Islamic movements in India, ordered the creation of an Apostolic Prophet to subdue the spirit of Jihad (striving against oppressors) in Muslims (British Parliament Report 1870). In 1871, Mirza Ghulam was elected to the post of Apostolic Prophet. 

Between 1882 and 1890, like a confused story-teller trying to get his fable straight, Mirza made numerous unfounded and conflicting claims; among these are his assertions to be a Mujaddid (a revivalist), Musleh (a reformer), Mehdi (a divinely guided one), and Masih Mawoud (the Promised Messiah). In the year 1890, he declared that Jihad and resistance to British rule had become unlawful; in 1901, he claimed prophethood for himself; and, in 1904, he claimed to be Krishna (Hindu Lord). 

In short, Mirza Qadiani spent much of his adult life fabricating lies against Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), insulting the Prophets of Allah, declaring false prophecies, committing acts of treason against Muslims, lying, cheating, and deceiving simple-minded Muslims, and serving the British by discouraging and eliminating the concept of Jihad from Islam.

The height of his shameless attempt at deception is best stated in his own message to the Governor of Punjab, in 1898, reminding him that he is the “self-implanted and self-cultivated seedling of British Raj,” who has been a loyal servant to the British rule. 

Mirza uttered such nonsense Kufr in his books as “I am God, in my vision, I am a woman, Allah showed his manly power with me and metaphorically I became pregnant”! Contrary to his own “Prophecies” and “revelations“, Mirza died on May 26, 1908, in his own hated disease of cholera.

Obviously, he was neither the Mahdi, Messiah nor a Prophet. He was rather an immoral and treacherous opportunist guided by his hunger for wealth and power.  His claim to be the promised Messiah is not much different from the present-day claims of David Koresh, Jim Jones, and Charles Manson.  The followers of these cults are now well known in the West;  by God’s leave, we shall reveal the truth about the Qadiani leadership to the world.
