Re: Fall of Ahmadiyya Community
You are missing the whole point. If you are saying that the word Messiah is used in the Quran only to describe Jesus son of Mary and it was the very first instance the word was ever used for a person. Then you have to defend your flawed argument against the jewish stance that Jews had this title in use long before Quran. You can not assume that Messiah is a word specific to Jesus alone. Jesus was The Messiah fortold in the Jewish prophecy that is why he was called Al-Maseeh in Quran. That Messiah came and did his job and passed away.
Ahadith mention the Messiah of Muslims.
Salamun Alaikum
Ithink yes, it is the fact that Allah has specifically designated Hazrat Eisa Alehis Salam as Al-massih and it is proved from numerous verses of Quran among which Ayat of Sura Nisa no 171 says:
[RIGHT]يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لاَ تَغْلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمْ وَلاَ تَقُولُواْ عَلَى اللّهِ إِلاَّ الْحَقِّ إِنَّمَا الْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِّنْهُ فَآمِنُواْ بِاللّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَلاَ تَقُولُواْ ثَلاَثَةٌ انتَهُواْ خَيْرًا لَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا اللّهُ إِلَـهٌ وَاحِدٌ سُبْحَانَهُ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَات وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَكَفَى بِاللّهِ وَكِيلاً {171 [/RIGHT]
Shakir **4:171** O followers of the Book! do not exceed the limits in your religion, and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) the truth; the Messiah, Isa son of Marium is only a messenger of Allah and His Word which He communicated to Marium and a spirit from Him; believe therefore in Allah and His messengers, and say not, Three. Desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one Allah; far be It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His, and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.
Pickthal **4:171** O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One Allah. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.
In this Ayat Allah uses the term 'Ina-ma" when saying that Al-Masih, Eisa, Son of marry was on a messenger of Allah. The term Ina-ma is used when one want to stress upon his statement to the extent of exclusiveness. In arabic this is called 'kalma-e-hasar' And gives the meaning of 'it means nothing but'. So in this ayat it is said that "it means nothing but Al-Masih, Eisa, Son of Mary is just a messenger of Allah and his kalima delivered unto Mary......." .
And if you more minutely look into this ayat then you will find that "Ina-ma-Al-masiho Eisa ibne Maryam" by itself is a complete sentance which means that "it means nothng but Al-masih is Eisa who is son of maryam" and resultantly means that Al-Masih is not Mirza Ghulam Ahmed son of Mirza Ghulam Murtaza and his wife Chiragh Bibi..
The same term is again used in the very same ayat as"Ina-ma-Allaho ilahun wahid..." giving the same exclusive impression as "it means nothing but Allah is the the only lord"
So this is the miracle of Quraan that it embadded all the precautions in it that whenever any one stand to claim that he is a massih, this ayat will declare him a Kzzab instantly.
