To Sadya:
In the thread about the 'Natural death of Jesus', you mentioned about the Mubahala between the Promised Messiah and Molvi Abdul Haq Ghaznavi.
There are a few very important points to keep in mind:
a. First of all, according to the beliefs of pious saints of Muslim Ummah,
Almighty Allah Does make a clear distinction between a liar and the
truthful within one year after the mubahala. Hazrat Promised Messiah
held to this belief also. [Roohani Khazain, vol.9, p. 34]
b. The above mentioned Mubahala was held in the year 1893.
c. As mentioned above, NOWHERE IN MUBAHALA, the death of anybody before the other's was mentioned. Please bring the proof if it was.
d. The above quoted text (para. 3) from Malfuzat, Vol 9, p440 was an answer to a question, about Meslemah, put to Hazrat Promised Messiah (AS) in 1907. Almost 14 years after the Mubahala with Ghaznavi!
The question was that Meslemah was a liar; but he did not die during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet (PBOH). Why?
In response to this question and to defend an attack on the truthfulness of the Holy Prophet (PBOH), Hazrat Promised Messiah replied that Meslemah Kazzab did not enter into a Mubahala with the Holy Prophet (PBOH). Had he entered into Mubahala, which had called for the death of the liar during the lifetime of the truthful, he must have died during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet; but he never entered into such a Mubahala.
e. Now, a fair mind can see that there is no relation between the two
quotations to each other whatsoever.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani died during the lifetime of
Maulana Abdul Haq Ghaznavi on May 26, 1908, Whereas Maulana Sahib (Allah's mercy upon him) expired after 9 years, on May 16, 1917.
(Rais-e-Qadian, Vol. 2, p. 192)
In the Mubahala of 1893, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad DID NOT PRAY for the death of Abdul Haq Ghaznavi. Hazrat Ahmad did not even invoke the curse of Allah on Abdul Haq in that Mubahala for Hazrat Ahmad had a pity on Abdul Haq because of his ignorance. [Roohani Khazain, Vol. 11, p 305]
On the contrary, Hazrat Promised Messiah latter prophesied:
"Abdul Haq WILL NOT DIE unless he himself witnesses the birth of my 4th son also." (Roohani Khazaine, Vol 11, page 317)
Abdul Haq's death, 9 years after the death of Hazrat Promised Messiah (AS) is a living sign of Almighty Allah in support of His beloved Messiah. Abdul Haq Ghaznavi not only witnessed the Blessings of Allah but witnessed his own decline, shame and humiliation.
The Curse of Allah fell upon Abdul Haq within one year many times.
His brother died within that year. Abdul Haq married his brother's widow
and called it a blessing. Hazrat Promised Messiah pointed out that marrying an old woman who had lost her youth and charm could not be construed as a blessing at all; instead the death of his brother was something to ponder upon! [Roohani Khazain, vol 11, p310]
Then Abdul Haq bragged that he will have a son. Where is that son of him?Does anybody know his name? [Roohani Khazain, vol 11, p310]
In response to that, Hazrat Promised Messiah prophesied that he would beblessed with a son. Within a year time, a son was born to the Promised Messiahwhose name was Shareef Ahmad. Then Hazrat Promised Messiah prophesied again,
"ABDUL HAQ WILL NOT DIE UNLESS HE WITNESSES THE BIRTH OF MY FOURTH SON".
Abdul Haq lived to see the birth of fourth son of the Promised Messiah,
whose name was Mubarak Ahmad. [Roohani Khazain, vol 11, p310]
The world, and the wicked Mullahs witnessed the immediate results of the Mubahala on the same day, right there in the Eidgah ground also.
Muhammad Hussain Batalvi, an outspoken opponent of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, was also challenged by the Promised Messiah to come for Mubahala along-with Abdul Haq; but he did not dare to come face to face with Hazrat Promised Messiah (AS) for Mubahala; exactly as it was foretold by Allah to the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and he had advertised.
People had to literally drag Ghaznavi to come forward and invoke the Mubahala. He did not utter a word regarding the curse of Allah on the liar; instead he,as usual, used filthy language to address the Promised Messiah (AS) and did not invoke the curse upon himself if he was a liar.
IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT DURING THE MUBAHALA, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the promised Messiah never invoked any evil to befall on Abdul Haq Ghaznavi. INSTEAD He Prayed that as his opponents regarded him as a LIAR, An IMPOSTER and an INFIDEL, If He was really so, GOD should CURSE him in an "UNPRECEDENTED MANNER".
After the Mubahala prayer Moulvi Mohammad Yaqoob and Hafiz Mohammad Yusuf, who were respected very much by the Ghaznavi family, openly declared before a large number of people that Moulvi Abdullah Ghaznavi (father of Abdul Haq Ghaznavi) had had a vision in which he had seen the light of God descend upon Qadian, of which his children were deprived. This public declaration of two witnesses was the immediate blow which Abdul Haq received as a result of the Mubahala.
[Life of Ahmad, p 278]
Abdul Haq prophesied that he will have a son, but did not beget one, and
thus was frustrated and disgraced. The Promised Messiah prophesied that God will give him a son. He was blessed with a son whose name was Shareef Ahmad. He also prophesied that Abdul Haq WILL NOT DIE UNLESS he witnesses the birth of Hazrat Ahmad's 4th son as a sign of Allah. He was blessed with a 4th son named Mubarak Ahmad.
