Re: Promised Messiah & Mahdi Has Come!!!
Lets see in the light of the Hadith who is Mehdi :
There are saheeh Ahaadeeth that indicate that the Mahdi (peace be upon him) will appear at the end of time. He is one of the signs of the Hour. Among these ahaadeeth are the following :
The world will not come to pass until a man from among my family, whose name will be my name, rules over the Arabs. (Tirmidhi Sahih, Vol. 9, P. 74; Abu Dawud, Sahih, Vol. 5, P. 207; also narrated by Ali b. Abi Talib, Abu Sa'id, Umm Salma, Abu Hurayra)
Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood reported that the Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) said: "The world will not come to an end until the Arabs are ruled by a man from my family whose name will be the same as mine." (Musnad Ahmad, 5/199, hadeeth 3573. Another version says: "… whose name is the same as mine and whose father’s name is the same as my father’s." Sunan Abi Dawud, 11/370).
The promised Mahdi will be among my progeny, among the descendants of Fatima. (Abu Dawud, Sahih, Vol. 2, P. 207; Ibn Majah, Sahih, Vol. 2, P. 519)
Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri said: "The Messenger of Allaah (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) said: ‘The Mahdi is of my lineage, with a high forehead and a long, thin, curved nose. He will fill the earth with fairness and justice as it was filled with oppression and injustice, and he will rule for seven years.’" **
**Sunan Abi Dawud, Kitaab al-Mahdi, 11/375, hadeeth 4265; Mustadrak al-Haakim, 4/557; he said: this is a saheeh hadeeth according to the conditions of Muslim, although it was not reported by al-Bukhaari and Muslim. See also Saheeh al-Jaami, 6736
Conclusion: The **Punjabi cult leader of 1800's Mirza Ghulam Ahmed of Qadyan was not Arabic and was not from the family of Hazrat Fatima . His parentage is contradicting the prophecy of the hadith. Mirza was born to Punjabi Parents and was a Moghul. He never ruled the arabs for 7 years. Infact he never was a ruler ..not even a city accepted him as a ruler. The promised Mehdi was supposed to have thin uppish nose and broad forehead but the Punjabi Cult leader has snub...fat nose...and forehead of a sikh. **
He is disqualified..........for the post of Mehdi in ligh of the above Hadiths. Simple!
