Dear MHA and others,
I have read your question about Hadith describing Imam Mehdi and Dajal. You have said that none of the Hadith fits Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. I would like to say that all the Hadith about Imam Mehdi fits 100% with with Mirza Sahib.
One of the sign as described in Hadith is that Imam Mehdi will be of Persian background. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said this by putting his hand on the shoulder of Hazrat Salman Farsi (R.A).(You can consult Sahi Bukhari: under the Tafseer of Sorah-i-Juma). Mirza Sahib had a Persian background.Another big sign or prophecy of the edvent of messiah as described in Hadith is the Eclipse of Moon and Sun in the month of Ramazan. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said that when the Imam mehdi will appear the Moon will be eclipsed on his first day and Sun will be eclipsed on its middle day in the month of Ramadhan (Dar- Qatni Volume 1, page 188). Obviously a claim has to be made before the eclipse. other wise everybody can claim to be Imam mehdi after the eclipse. Mirza Sahib claimed before the Ramadhan of 1894 that this would happen. Now, as the hadith describes that moon will be eclipsed on its first day, it should be noted that moon can only eclipse on the 13th, 14th or 15th of a month. on any other day of month it is impossible (if you are not sure, ask any scientist). Similarly, the Solar eclipse can only happen on 27th, 28th and 29th of a month and the Hadith describes that the sun will eclipse on its middle day. The two dates come out to be 13th and 28th (first and middle). According to Mirza Sahib claim, this event happened on the exact dates of Ramadhan of 1894. Also the point should be noted that science was not so advance at that time that time that somebody could predict this event by scientific calculations (atleast not in India). Now, we can calculate the movement of Sun, moon and earth even to the accuracy of microseconds. If somebody claims this thing now it will be of no significance. But you should note that this thing cannot happen in the near future (I guess not in next 100 or more years: according to calculations). Now who says that none of the Hadith fits on Mirza Sahib.Another Hadith describes that how the messiah will look like. I am quoting the translation of that in English but be aware that this may not be the exact and very very correct translation I am just trying to convey you the the main theme of that Hadith. for exact translation and for reference please consult the book (Reference described at the end. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said that I saw a dream and I saw that I am doing the TAWAF around the Kaba and suddenly a man came infront of me. his colour was brown (which we say Gundumi in urdu) his hair were staright and long and drops of water were falling of his head. I asked that who is he? I was told that he is the son of Mary (Ibne-Mariyam) and then I saw another person who........ after this the Dajal is described (For referenve See: Bukhari, Volume 2, Kitab-ul fitan, page 146) Please note that this is the exact description of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. Please don't be mistaken by the Word "Ibne-Maryium" and dont think that this is Jesus. Because his looks as described in other Hadiths is different. he had red colour as normal palestinens have.So now, who says that none of the Hadiths fits Mirza Sahib.
According to the Prophecies of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), a Mujadid (reviver) will appear on the start of each century who will revive islam and will corect the mistakes being done by the people of that time (For reference: ABU-Daud, Volume 2, chapter of "BAB-ul-Malaham"). This prophecy is true as we all believe (Both Ahmadies and Non-Ahmadies). We know that great Mujadids have came in the past like Shiekh Abdul-Qadir Jelani, Hazrat Shiekh Ahmad Sirhindy Mujadid Alif Sani, Hazrat Shah Walliulah Dehlwi, Syed Ahmad Barailwi etc.. So this is decided that this prophecy is true but I have one quetion to ask you, WHERE ARE THE MUJADIDS OF 13th AND 14th CENTURY?????? I havent heard of any. Niether do Maulvi Sahiban recognize anybody as Mujadid. SO WHAT HAPPENED that these Mujadidin Suddenly disappeared???? Was Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) wrong (Na-Auzubillah)?????? No, of course not. According to the Ahmadi belives Mirza Sahib was a Mujadid too and after Mirza Sahib his Khalifas are performing the duties of Mujadids. Now, can you say that there is no Hadith that fits Mirza Sahib.Another sign of the sect which is truthful in his believes, is Khilaphat. In Quran Allah descibes this thing. again i would like to point out that this is not the exact translation. it just has the basic theme. For exact translation consult the reference given at the end. "It is a Promise of Allah that God will continue the system of Khilafat or will apoint Caliphs in those of you who will do good deeds (Aamal-i-Saleh) just like Allah did in the previous times (in the Ummat of Musa)"(Quran: Noor, 56). At this time Jammat Ahamdia is the only sect of Islam (Although you dont consider us as Muslims) who has the system of Khilafat. Other sects are striving hard to establish some kind of Khilafat but they will not be successful in this aim because it is the will of God which is only for the people who do Aamal-i-Saleh. I am not saying that none of the Non-Ahamdi does any Aamal-i-Saleh but I am saying that as a group or as a sect you are not at that level. If we are not the Jammat which is on the right track then how come God allowed us to establish a Khilafat. Isn't that against his rules and laws???? Some Prominent people has tried to establish Khilafat in past but to no avail. An example of this is Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, look at his end, hanged to death by a person whom he appointed himself as the Army chief (General. Zia). Another person was Shah Faisl and Qadafi, look at him, killed by the son of his own brother. Now, Maulvi Israr Sahib is striving hard in this field. You might have seen some stickers in the public transport, or writings on the walls or posters by Maulvi Israr Sahib. Let me tell you, the results of this effort would be same as the previous ones. Now tell me, can you still stand on your believe.As far as Dajal is concerned, I am not giving the complete answer with refernces right now because although I know the answer but I want to consult few books to get references and quotations. In very short, let me tell you that according to the Jammat Ahmadia, the Dajal has already appeared. According to our believes all the Christian nation and the western forces are Dajal. It is a collective noun not specifficaly for one person. It might look strange to you right now but when I will explain the facts to you then you will understand this thing. There are tons and tons of other proofs of the truth of Mirza Sahib. I will be providing you with some more in future. If you like to do research by yourself, I would like to Suggest 2 books. (1). Dawat-ul-Amir by Mirza Bashir-ud-din Mahmoud Sahib. (2). Tabligh-i-Hidayat by Mirza Bashir Ahmad Sahib. You can get these books from any Ahmadia mosque or other ahamadia places.I really apreciate this message board because this helps us discuss these important issues. I have written this whole essay at one time, so excuse my spelling and other mistakes. Please excuse me if I have hurt anybody's feelings. I think that all the discussion on this message board should be peaceful and polite. Everybody has the right to present his/her opinion or to refute the opinion of others but there is a limit which we shouldn't cross. Respect the believes of others, whether they are Muslims or Non-Muslims.
Good Bye and May Allah Provide Guidence to all of you in this Holy month of Ramazan.
