Re: Question for all the Qadiyani peoples over here
Mirza Ghulam himself had written:"One Hadith of Dar-e-Qatni also proves that the Promised Mahdi will appear at the head of 14th Century; and that hadith is this …translation of the whole hadith is: ‘There are two signs of our Mahdi; since the creation of earth and heaven this sign has not been revealed for any appointed and prophet and messenger; and those signs are that moon will eclipse in the first night of its fixed nights of eclipse and sun will get eclipsed in the middle of the fixed days for its eclipse, during the month of Ramadhan.’
…this hadith clearly fixes 14th Century." (Roohani Khazain, Vol. 17, P. 331)
However, the actual *hadith *recorded in Dar-e-Qatni clearly reads:Narrated Amr son of Shamir, quoting Jabir, who quoted Mohammad bin 'Ali: “For our Mahdi, two signs are given which never occurred in the past from the creation of the heavens and the earth. One is that a lunar eclipse will occur on the first night of Ramadhan and the second sign is that a solar eclipse will occur in the middle of Ramadhan and these signs had never happened from the creation of the heavens and the earth.” (*Dar-e-Qatni, *Vol. 1, P. 188)
With regard to this hadith, we need to make the following observations:
This hadith is not a saying of hazrat Muhammad(SAW), as the Qadiani leadership has tried to portray, but it is a saying attributed to an individual by the name of Mohammed bin 'Ali. Thus, once more the falsehood of Qadiani leadership becomes apparent. According to an authentic hadith of hazrat Muhammad(SAW):
Ascribing false things to me is not like ascribing false things to anyone else. Whosoever tells a lie against me intentionally then surely let him occupy his seat in Hell-Fire.
(Hadith Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 23, Number 378)
This hadith attributed to Mohammad bin 'Ali has been rejected by scholars of hadith for centuries. In fact, the first narrator of this *hadith *is Amr bin Shamir who is a known narrator of weak and fabricated Ahadith. Allamah Shamsuddin Dhahbi(RA) who was an expert of the Funn-e-Rijaal (the art of Men Narrators) has written:“According to its authenticity, this saying attributed to Imam Baqir is extremely weak, outcast, and rejected. Looking at the chain of narration, the first narrator is Amr bin Shamir who has been labeled (in Meezanul-E’tidaal, P. 262) as the big liar, a narrator of weak and fabricated Ahadith, a non-believer of Hadith, a person who used abusive words for the companions of the Messenger(SAW) and the Sahabah(RA); and according to Ilm-ul-Hadith, his narration is not written as Hadith.”
Amr bin Shamir had claimed to have heard this hadith from a person by the name of Jabir. Not only we can not trust this assertion of a known liar, but also Amr failed to disclose – perhaps purposely – which one of the many Jabirs he was referring to in this quote. Nevertheless, among the individuals by that name, we find Jabir Ja’fi, who was described by Imam Abu-Hanifah(RA):“Among the liars that I met, no one was bigger liar than Jabir Ja’fi.”
Amr bin Shamir finally claims that this hadith was originally narrated by Mohammad bin 'Ali. Qadianis assert that the Mohammad bin 'Ali mentioned must have been Imam Baqir. However, we have had several narrators with this name and there is no proof or reason to believe that the person Amr intended was Imam Baqir. Indeed, since it was the habit of Amr bin Shamir to narrate weak and fabricated Ahadith and attribute them to well known, truthful, and trustworthy narrators, we are obligated to be very doubtful of this hadith.
- Even if, for the sake of discussion, we were to accept this hadith at face value, it would only serve to expose the falsehood of Mirza Ghulam and the Qadiani propaganda machine. This saying clearly states that the lunar eclipse will happen in the beginning of the month of Ramadhan and the solar eclipse will occur in the middle of the month. However, this event is astronomically impossible and would be indeed miraculous if occurred.
The lunar and solar eclipses Qadianis advance as the proof of their claim occurred on the 13th and 28th day of Ramadhan respectively! It is then obvious that Mirza Ghulam, as was his habit, purposely changed the quote (by adding the words “of its fixed nights”) and twisted the true meaning of the *hadith *to lend appearance of legitimacy to his false claim. Furthermore, the *hadith *clearly states that this event has never occurred in the history, while the combination of eclipses on 13th and 28th of Ramadhan have occurred thousands of times throughout history.
Obviously, Qadiani leadership’s complete reliance on an unauthentic and misinterpreted saying of a person by the name of Mohammad bin 'Ali proves that they have nothing but deceit on their side.
The False Argument of Qadiani (Ahmadi) Leadership
Refuted by Muslim scholars and contradicted the by an extensive body of scientific evidence, Mirza Ghulam and the Qadiani (Ahmadi) leadership acknowledged that according to the divine laws the lunar eclipse always occurs on 13th, 14th or 15th of a lunar month, and solar eclipse always occurs on 27th, 28th, or 29th of a lunar month. However, they advanced another baseless argument to misguide the uninformed.
They reasoned that by “first night of Ramadhan”, the *hadith *must have intended that first night a lunar eclipse could possibly occur (i.e. 13th); and by “middle of Ramadhan”, the hadith must have meant the middle night a solar eclipse could possibly occur (i.e. 28th)! Thus, they tried to justify the conclusion of their Sire, Mirza Ghulam, and claim that Mirza must have been Mahdi, since such an eclipse occurred during his life time!
With regard to this assertion, we need to make the following observations:
- It is the habit of the Qadiani leadership to use such foolish and feeble interpretations to try to misguide the gullible. The words of the hadith (even though we have shown it to be an unreliable hadith not referred to our Prophet(SAW)) are quite clear: The lunar eclipse should occur on the “first night of Ramadhan” and the solar eclipse in the “middle of Ramadhan” (e.g. 15th). The hadith does not state the “first night from the nights of eclipses”, as Qadiani leadership would like everyone to believe. As we have shown, this is an addition made to the hadith by Mirza Ghulam himself.
- This interpretation of Mirza Ghulam Qadiani and his associates is also shown to be absurd and false by the very hadith itself. The hadith concludes by stating “these signs had never happened from the creation of the heavens and the earth.” However, the combination of eclipses on the 13th and 28th of Ramadhan have occurred thousands of times throughout recorded history!
