Re: Details of interpreting verses from the Qur'an and obvious blunders
Popat
We have discussed all that there was to be discussed and we seem to be going into unending circle.
You claim that you believe that Allah (swt) is Omnipotent and can do whatever He wishes. (I believe you are sincere when you say so.)
But then in the same breath you say Allah (swt) can’t take a human out of the sphere of the Earth and you quote an ayah which talks in general terms – You can’t even think of exceptional case - and you are worried about how Allah (swt) will provide food and oxygen for that human.
You claim to believe in Divine miracles but then deny when one is presented to you. In fact you are limiting Allah’s ability to do what He wishes.
Ahmadiyat religion has a dilemma – The crux of it existence depends on Hz. Isa Ibn Maryum (as) being dead.
Alive Hz. Isa Ibn Maryum (as) whether in Heavens or anywhere else is anathema to Ahmadiyat religion – a death blow.
Dead Hz. Isa Ibn Maryum (as) serves Ahmadiyat religion well, with him out of the way a vacancy is created for someone else to sneak in and claim the vacant post. Once in the vacant post one can promote himself to prophet hood too!
So this is your dilemma, intrinsically/fundamentally you cannot accept that Hz. Isa Ibn Maryum (as) is alive.
Once you do that Ahmadiyat collapses. So we have come to the end, you have said all that you could have said and we likewise did the same. I don’t think there is anything more to add.
Peace,
Ok, so i see how it is :). Just for the sake of being against Ahmadiyya jamaat, you are choosing not to believe in something on purpose. I have said it countless times earlier and i will say this again.. you do not have to become an ahmadi once you accept the death of Jesus A.S. Alhamdulillah, we have proof enough, enough that if I give you one verse at a time, I cannot even go on and give you another verse, since even 1 verse of Quran is more than enough. But alhamdulillah, truth has been shown to us from various verses of Quran, that a person who is sincere in accepting truth always benefits. There have been many scholars even before Hz Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) who have proved Jesus a.s dead..many books published by them in which they openly claimed that they believe Jesus a.s to be dead. Scholars of today like Javed Ahmad Ghamdi have claimed that hes a believer of Jesus a.s's death as well.. and yet hes not an Ahmadi.
Do not, just for the enmity against Ahmadiyyat, be one of those who close their eyes when truth is in front of you. You cannot harm Ahmadiyyat, neither can you hide truth. You can and will only harm yourself, if your conscious is alive. Don't accept ahmadiyyat, but accept what Quran is telling you. This is something i do not demand from you, but Allah himself expect you to accept as a Muslim.

To you be your Way, and to we to ours.
Popat - you must know that Mirza Ghulam Ahmed takes himself to be re-incarnation of Prophet Muhammad (saw) – and he receives Wahi from Allah - Allah Forbid!
"I say with swearing upon God that I believe in these inspirations in the same way as I believe in Quran and other books of God. And just as I consider Quran undoubtedly and surely the book of God, similarly I believe that that Wahi (revelation) which descends upon me is the word of God."*(Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Roohany Khazaen, Vol .22, P .220)

"I have told so many times that according to the verse "Wa Akhareen Menhom "(Along with others of them...) - in the incarnate form, I am the same last of the Prophets. Twenty two years ago, God named me in Braheen-e-Ahmadia Muhammad and Ahmad and declared that I am the entity of the Holy Prophet (saw).”(*Ek-Ghalati-Ka-Izala, Roohany Khazaen Vol. 18, P. 212; *
"And Know that just as our Holy Prophet (saw) was sent in the fifth thousand (the 6th century A.D.), in the same manner he was sent in the sixth thousand (the 13th century A.D.) in the incarnation of the Promised Messiah (Mirza Ghulam Qadiani)."Page 4 of 17(Khutba-e-Ilhamiah, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 16, P. 270; Khutba-e-Ilhamiah, P.180, 1st Edition, Qadian, 1902
"When I am the holy Prophet incarnate and when all the accomplishments of Muhammad along with his prophethood are reflected, by the incarnate manner, on the mirror of my shadiness, then where that is man who had claimed to be a prophet in a separate capacity?"*( Ek-Ghalati-Ka-Izala, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 18, P. 212; Ek-Ghalati-Ka- Izala, P. 8/10)
*
"And Allah sent down upon me the bounty of the holy Prophet and made it perfect; and he drew towards me the kindness and generosity of the merciful Prophet, so that I became one with him. Thus, he who joins my group joins the group of the companions (Sahaba) of my Leader, the best of messengers. It is not hidden from those who have the ability to think that this is what the words “Akhareen Menhom" (others of them) mean. The person who makes a difference between me and the Mustafa has neither seen me nor recognized me. "(Khutba-e-Ilhamiah, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 16, P. 258-259; Khutba-e- Ilhamiah
, P. 171)

You're beating the bushes here and there. You knowingly try to change the topic, when there was no need of it anyway.
But regardless, I will give you this example.. if you understand :) Read it very carefully.
If you are a CEO of a company, you will only ask your HR dept to find a suitable candidate for some position IF you have the vacancy available to fill the spot. Only then will you interview people to find a suitable candidate for that position. If you do not have any position available to be filled, then it does not matter what qualification anyone comes up with. There is NO job for him.
Apply the same scenario to what we're doing here. Let's assume that Islam is a company (again, I said 'assume'), and you are a CEO of that company (Muslims in general). You first need to figure out if there in fact is any vacancy available for anyone ( if anyone can come ).. only then will you question/interview a person who claims he is suitable for that position. There is NO reason why you would quote what He says if there is no spot available for that position. Now, for you, you need to have 2 beliefs of yours figured out. 1) Issue of Jesus a.s 2) finality of prophethood. If you say Jesus a.s will come and only He a.s will come, then it does NOT matter to you or to any Muslim what Hz Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) claimed.. since like the example, there is no vacancy, hence no matter how qualified (pious etc) you are, you cannot get in.
If you say last prophet was Muhammad pbuh, then you need to understand Jesus a.s after coming will be last.. but even then, if you dont need to question was Hz Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) said, since it is of NO concern to you.. since you ARE waiting for Jesus a.s
So, the whole question goes back to these 2 topics again. What Hz Ahmad (as) said and he (as) did not say is of no interest to you and it shouldnt be. Since he is not of any Hujjat to you. He (as) is hujjat to me. For us, since we believe in Him as prophet, what He said is a hujjat on us. We do not question what He (as) say. We can explain them to you what it means but as Muslims, we are not to question prophets.
So, lets just get one thing clear, which is the issue of Jesus a.s and then we can talk about something else. Accept that He a.s is dead. Then i'll show you how the prophecies of Messiah came to fulfillment in the personality of Hz Ahmad (as).. if not, then we're still stuck at Jesus a.s's issue. You claiming he's alive.. me giving you evidence that he's dead. Hope the whole example above was of help.
PS: sorry for the late reply as we had annual convention of Canada happening since last 3 days. What a blessed convention alhamdulillah.
