Mirza Ghulam and the Real Messiah
We can learn from the Hadith of Nawas Bin Sam’an (R.A) which can be found in Muslim Shareef (the second most authentic book after the Holy Qur’ân) and from the Hadith of Abu Ummamah Al-Bahilee (R.A) which can be found in Ibn Majah, the following regarding the Promised Messiah:
- The Promised Messiah’s name is ‘Isa (A.S) and his mothers name was Maryam.
- The Mahdi and the Dajjal will have already appeared before his descension.
- He will descend from the heavens to the white minaret in the east of Damascus wearing two garments slightly dyed with saffron and his hands will be placed on the wings of two Angels.
- Every Kaafir (disbeliever) who smells his breath will die and his breath will reach as far as he can see.
- He will kill the Dajjal at the Eastern gate of Ludd.
- The barbarious tribe of Gog Magog will appear in his time and the promised Massiah will take the believers to mount Tur for their protection.
- He will elevate the Islamic religion by breaking the cross and putting an end to Christianity.
- The Jews and Christians will believe on him before his death.
- He will kill the pigs and the Christians consider Halal it to eat and non-Muslims will not have to pay tax.
- Wars will cease at his time, as everybody will be in complete agreement with one another.
- There will be so much wealth that the receiving of Sadaqa will be discarded as everybody will have enough wealth of his own.
- In his time, all harmful animals will be made harmless and the venom will be taken out from all venomous animals. A child will put his hand in a snake’s mouth and it will not harm him, a girl will be able to chase a lion away and it will not harm her.
- The earth will spout with vegetation and will produce fruits so abundantly that a large group of people will gather to eat a bunch of grapes or one pomegranate, and it will suffice them.
- From the Hadith of Abu Hurairah (R.A) in Muslim, we learn that the promised Messiah will perform Hajj and Umrah from a place called Rawha.
- From the Hadith of Abdullah Bin Amr (R.A) we learn that he will get buried next to the Holy Prophet ?.
None of the above conditions were fulfilled by Mirza Ghulam. His name was Ghulam Ahmad and not ‘Isa, he was the son of Chiragh and not Maryam. The Mahdi and the Dajjal did not appear before him and thus there is no question in him killing Dajjal. He did not descend from the heavens nor did any Kaafir die from his breath.
The tribes of Gog Magog did not appear in his time nor did the Jews and Christians believe in him before his death. He did not elevate Islam but insulted it by claming to be the Mahdi, the Messiah and a Prophet. He didn’t kill the pigs but enjoyed eating it. Wars did not cease in his time as the Muslims were struggling against the colonialists in India. The receiving of Sadqah was not discarded nor was venom taken out of venomous animals in his time. He never performed Hajj or Umrah and died in a toilet. I am sure by now you have easily come to the conclusion that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was not the promised Messiah the Mahdi or a Prophet, but was an impostor and a liar. His aim and purpose in life was to keep the colonialists happy, those who made him and nourished him with evil ideas to confuse and disunite the Muslims.
