Re: Details of interpreting verses from the Qur’an and obvious blunders
Peace** Popat** – To tell you the truth at present time I have terrible flu, but must pay more attention to Ramadan. So I’ll take your advice and take my time to answer you – Though Brother psyah has dealt with it very thoroughly, so it’s going to be very cyclic.
With my hand sincerely on my heart I pray that May Allah the Most Gracious and Most Merciful guide you to Islam as taught by the blessed Prophet Muhammad (saw) and practiced by his blessed Companions (May Allah (swt) be pleased with them all) May Allah, the Most Gracious and Most Merciful, open your heart to the true faith ease your journey seeking for the truth and eventually gift you with the blessings of true faith, inner peace and success in Hereafter Aameen. (sniff, sniff - sorry running nose)
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
May Allah Guide us all to Truth and keep us on the straight path, and improve our affairs and purify us for the hereafter, Aameen.
The above is from my heart. (sniff, sniff - sorry running nose)
Just had time for this:
Narrated Abu Huraira: While we were sitting with the Prophet Surat Al-Jumu’a was revealed to him, and when the Verse, "And He (Allah) has sent him (Muhammad) also to other (Muslims)…’ (62.3) was recited by the Prophet, I said, “Who are they, O Allah’s Apostle?” The Prophet did not reply till I repeated my question thrice.
At that time, Salman Al-Farisi was with us. So Allah’s Apostle put his hand on Salman, saying, "If Faith were at (the place of) Ath-Thuraiya (pleiades, the highest star), even then (some men or man from these people (i.e. Salman’s folk) would attain it." ** Sahih Al Bukhari Book 6 Volume 60 No. 420**
General consensus among Muslims is that Hz. Abu Hanifah (rahimullah) qualifies for this honour.
MGAQ statements about his ethnicity/origins
“My biography is as such that my name is Mirza Ghulam Ahamd, my father’s name is Ghulam Murztaza, grand father’s name is Ata Muhammad and my great grand father’s name was Gul Muhammad. As it has been stated that our tribe (Qaum/Zaat) is Mughal Barlas. And from my families old document which are still present my ancestors migrated from Samarkand”. Kitab-ul-Barriyah page 162
Note: He says that his name is: Mirza Ghulam Ahmad - It ain’t Ahmad
Note: Documentary proof “And from my families old document which are still present my ancestors migrated from Samarkand”
The founder of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat was Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, alayhe salam. His father’s name was Mirza Ghulam Murtaza and his mother’s name was Chiragh Bibi (lady of the lamp). His grandfather was Mirza Ata Muhammad (d.1814), and his great grandfather was Mirza Gul Muhammad (d.1800).
Hadhrat Ahmad (AS) belonged to the Birlas branch of the respectable Mughal family. The surname of this family is Mirza that is why all members of this family use Mirza as their surname. Mirza Hadi Beg was the forefather of this family who migrated to India in 1530 from his hometown Samarqand with two hundred others during the reign of Mughal King Zaheer al-Din Babur.
A Brief History of Ahmadiyya Movement In Islam

Suddenly a calculated shift in ethnicity to ‘fit in’ with the hadith.**
“It should be remembered that apparently the family of this humble one is that of the Moghuls. No record has been seen in the history of our family, showing that the family was Persian. What has been seen in certain records is that some of our grandmothers were of noble and noted Sayyid families. Now it has come to be known through the word of God that ours is a Persian family. We believe in this with all our conviction since the reality- in respect of genealogies is known to none the way it is known to Allah, the Exalted. It is His knowledge alone which is true and sure and that of all others, doubtful and conjectural.” (Araba’in, Vol. 11, p. 17 n.)
Note: No record has been seen in the history of our family, showing that the family was Persian. What has been seen in certain records is that some of our grandmothers were of noble and noted Sayyid families.
Now new claim to have Prophet (saw)'s bloodline through unknown grandmothers - guess this too was a last-minute discovery!
Now the claim to the said Hadith
“The revelation (ilham) about me is that: Were it that faith was hanging from the Pleiades it would still have been seized by the man from Persia. And then, there is also a third revelation about me: Verily, those who disbelieved the man from Persia disproved their religions. God is thankful for his endeavour. All these ‘revelations’ show that our forefathers were Persian. And the truth is what Allah has made manifest.” (Kitab at-Bariyah, p. 135 n.)
Note: before it was ‘some’ grandmothers who were Persian.
