*>>>>I appreciate ur concern about hate sites.. but Ahmadia official site just touches basics and tell mostly things Mirza wrote that were not controvercial.. The problem with readers like me is that Mirza works are very confusing.. he writes one thing here and refutes it outrightly at another place.. *
It seems you haven’t visited the Ahmadiyya website recently. They have made it so huge that it will take you months to go through it all. One can complain about over whelming information but cannot say that there is not enough information online. The new theme is to get everything in Audio format, so even the books which have already been converted into PDF & can be downloaded are now converted to Audio format. It’s a huge task but with dedicated volunteers, InshAllah in a few years time you will be able to find everything Online.
Your confusion is understandable if it is well intended. Though the root of the confusion is no different than when someone objects that at one place Quran says kill the kafir while at other places gives the message of utter compassion. It’s not contradictory but in context of the subject, perfect! Reading a verse from first chapter & then the last will obviously not make sense. Similarly, how can you expect that by reading a few quotes here & there you can understand everything about Ahmadiyyat and the claims of Mirza Sahib (as)?
>>>>>I am still puzzled why he cjalleged his opponents all the time with death time periods.. that some one will die before him.. I found this at so many of his writings..
These challenges are called Mubahilah, which is a traditions of the prophets & is also explained in Quran. AnHazoor (saw) also challenged the leaders of some tribes in Madina to which they declined. You should also note that Mirza Sahib’s challenge to Mubahilah was not from the start, instead in the beginning when he claimed to be appointed by Allah, people challenged him for a prayer-dual but instead he would ask them to come have a public debate (Mubahisa). He insisted that he cannot do Mubahilah as Allah SWT has not directed him to do as such. Eventually after receiving revelations regarding Mubahilah, he first challenged those who apposed Islam bitterly, starting from prominent non-Muslims.
For example, if you read Ahmadiyya history you will know that he had one such Mubahilah with Lekh Ram, a Hindu pundit & well known leader of his community Arya Samaj, who was not only bitterly against Islam but used the most profane language for the Holy Prophet (saw). Mirza Sahib repeatedly for years answered his objections and held public debates refuting his allegations against Islam & Holy Prophet. Then after years of in vain struggle he prayed to Allah, for which he was told that Lekh Ram’s end is near. After learning this from Allah, Mirza Sahib (as) prophesized that either he (Lekh Ram) stop abusing Islam & the Holy Prophet or else he is bound to die within six months. In the challenge Mirza Sahib asked Lekh Ram to pray to his gods to save him, if he thinks he is at truth aganist Islam. Lekh Ram didn’t listen & went on with his anti-Islam campaign & as prophesized in the revelations of Mirza Sahib, died within those 6 months!
