Dear fellow members,
This essay is about the truth! please note that this essay contains not even a single word by ME or any Ahmedi, but is solely based on 10 chapters of KORAN AND HADITH, and their interpretation by PIOUS muslims, ( sunnis and shias ) as well as neutral non-muslims.
Now it wont be acceptable, that your own muslim sunni scholars, who told these things, woh to musalmaan kay musalmaan hee reh gaye, aur hum, jinhon nay un ki bat maani, woh kaafir!
========================================================
The messiah has finally arrived!
========== Chapter 1: The promise!

++ For non muslims:
→ hindus:
as translated from hindi:
" Hindus say that a prophet, ( brahma nish klank awwtaar ) will come. Muslims say that imam mehdi will come. Sikhs believe that a prophet ( kalki awwtaar ) will come, and christians say that jesus will descend. Now what is to be found is, will all these people come seperately? or will they be a same person? The answer is, they will be the same! "
( swaami bhola naath jee, satt yak september 1941 page 13 )
→ Sikhs:
as translated from punjabi:
“marda asked, guru jee, will there be someone like “bhaggat kabeer”? Guru nanak jee replied, yes marda, a man will come 100 years after us gurus.”
( janam saakhi, bhai baala waali waddi sakhi, page 251 )
→ Bible:
“For as the lightning cometh to the east, and shineth even to the west; so shall also the coming of the son of man be.” (Matthew 24:27)
========== Chapter 2: No physical descent of jesus
“I did not say to them aught, save what Thou didst enjoin me with: ‘That serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord’, and I was a witness of them so long as I was among them, but when Thou didst CAUSE ME TO DIE , Thou wert the watcher over them, and Thou art witness of all things”

( that some have said, that from the descent of jesus, it means the coming of such a person who is, in fazl and sharf, similar to jesus, just as a pious man is called an angel, and a naughty man is called the satan. ) -khareedatul ajaaib o fareedatul gharaaib, page 214.
→ Shaikhul mashaaikh, Hazrat muhammad akram sabri ( may allah’s mercy be with him):
as translated from persian:
" Sometimes, the spirituality of those who reach perfection, creates such impact on them, that it becomes the “fa’il” of the “af’aal” of those before. The Sufis regard attaining such a level as “barooz”. It is a belief, that the spirit of jesus, peace be upon him, will perform a “barooz” into the mehdi. This is the meaning of “descent of jesus”. It is in accordance with the hadith “there is no mehdi except jesus”." -iqtasaabul anwaar, page 52.

If there should come to you, messengers from among you, relating my signs to you, then whosoever is godfearing, and makes amends- no fear shall be on them, niether shall they sorrow.

“He directs the affair from heaven to earth, then it goes back upto him in a day, whose measure is a thousand years of your counting.”
( the koran, chapter chapter 32, verse 6)
( note that 300 years of the better of times (Bukhari vol.4) together with this 1000 years makes 1300 years)
“When 1,240 years pass, God will raise Mahdi.”
(An Najmus Saqib, Vol. 2 pg. 209)
+++++++++ Muslim scholars:
→ Hazrat shah waliullah, muhaddis e dehlwi, may allah’s mercy be with him:
“allamni rabbi jalla jalaaluhu annal qayaamata qadiqtarabat walmahdiyyu tahayya 'a lilkhurooje”
( My allah, glory be to him, has told me that doom is about to fall, and mehdi is about to come ) - tafheemaate ilaahiya volume 2, page 123
→ Imam hazrat mullah ali qari, may allah’s mercy be with him:
“wayahtamilu anyyakoonal laamu filmaa’ateeni lilba’di ay ba’adal maa’ateeni ba’adal alfe wa howa waqto zuhooril mahdiyi”
( that the hadith shows that the two centuries of the promised messiah will be counted after 1000 years after the migration, so the signs will come 1200 years after migration, and that is the time of the coming of messiah )
→ Hazrat gulab shah of jamaalpur, may allah’s mercy be with him:
“Jesus, who was to descend, has born”
( - nishaane aasmaani, page 21, 1278 years hijri)
→ hazrat khwaja hassan nizami:
" it is not strange that this might be the time, and in 1330 years hijri, The imam mehdi may come. And if he does not come now, then in 40 years hijri, he will surely come, because if we compare the prophecies of pious men, they all agree to it."
( zahoor imam mehdi aakhiruz zamaan, the last page )
→ Abu-al khair, nawaab noorulhassan:
“Imam mehdi should have come in the 13th century, but this century has ended, and mehdi did not come. Now fourteenth century comes, hopefully allah will show his mercy upon us, and imam mehdi might come within four to six years.”
( iqtaraabus sa’ata page 221 )
→ Shaikh mohayyudeen ibne arabi, may allah’s mercy be with him:
“wa zohoorohu yakoonu mimba’ade maziyyee “khay” “fay” “jeem” minul hijrati”
( Imam mehdi will come after the passing of “khay” “fay” “jeem” after “hijrat” )
- muqaddama ibne khaldoon page 354
( “hijrat” = “hay” “jeem” “ray” “tay” = 400 + 200 + 3 + 5 = 608
“khay” + “fay” + “jeem” = 600 + 80 + 3 = 683
608 + 683 = 1291 years hijri )

============= Chapter 7: The acute need of messiah:
— Sunnis:
→ Janaab sayyed abu-l alaa Modoodi:
" Many people seek a such a man for uplifting the religion, who is a picture of perfection in their thought. Although they agree by tongue, in the finality of religion, and is someone talks about prophecy, they are ready to pull out his tongue, but within themselves, they ask for a prophet. And no one wants to accept less than a prophet!"
( tarjumaan alquraan, december 1942, page 4 to 6 )
" Intellect asks, and nature wants, the speed of the changing affairs of the world demands, that a leader should born…His name is “the Imam mehdi”, the prophecies about whom, are present in the sayings of prophet mohammad."
( tajdeed o ahyaa-e-deen page 530 )
— Shias:
→ Sayyed mohammad abbas qamar zaidi alwaasti:
“The nature of the world demands, and intellect bears witness, that there must be a presence of “hujjatullah”. No matter he is in the form of a prophet or in the form of an imam. The world can not stay empty of the presence of imam… It is because of this reason, that even the wise germans say, there must be a “superman” to save the world.”
( asaar-e-kayamat o zahoore hijjat page 17 18 )
→ alshaikh ali asghar albaro-jarwy:
“O allah, send the imam mehdi soon. This verse ( 61:10 ) is a proof over his coming. It has been 1275 years since hijrat, and the religion of Mohammad has not yet become eminent over all other religions…It is needed, that allah lifts someone pious person from within muslims and the “aale mohammad” , so that he unites all religions and bring them to the religion of Mohammad. And take away all other religions from the surface of the earth, otherwise it would mean that allah lied, and saying this is “kufr”.”
( noorul anwaar page 179, 180 )
— Hindus:
→ " We need bhagwaan krishna now, more than we needed him in the time of “maha bharat”…Since the last 1000 years, such evils have descended in the world, that no such example can be found in the history of the world. But in the twentieth century, the social decay and political downfall has increased to the maximum. If Bhagwaan made a true promise, then today is, when a prophet is needed the most. So dear bhagwaan krishna, come! take birth! Clean away the evil from the world, and spread religion."
( teej- delhi 18th august 1930 )
→ " The world today is a picture of inferior beastly life.. and the world, seeking an end to such fearful condition of the people, is wishing for a prophet to come."
(daily Indian, calcutta, 14th october 1900 )

============ Chapter 8: The claim of the Messiah:
O people! i am the mohammad’s messiah, and Ahmad, the mehdi."
“Whoso believes in allah, and believes in the truth of prophet mohammad, peace be upon him, for him is it enough, to hear this from my mouth, and accept, and for those are bold, and fear not, what is their solution? Allah will make them understand. so i want you, to fear god, and to analyse this, and advise your friends, that when regarding me, should not be quick in decisions, but with a noble intention, think about it with a neutral mind.”
( mirza ghulam ahmed of qadian )
========== Chapter 9: A Glorious sign:
------> The promise:
→ the koran:
" ‘When shall be, the day of resurrection?’ But when the sight is dazed, and the moon is eclipsed, and the sun and the moon will be brought together.that is the day when men will wither to escape."
( the koran, Chapter 75, the resurrection, verse 7,8,9,10,11 )
→ the bible:
“Behold the day of the Lord commeth… the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.”
“Immediatly after tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light… and then shall appear the signs of the son of man in heaven.”
as narrated in
- (Matthew 24:29-30)
- ( Mark 13:24 )
- ( Luke 21:25 )
→ prophet mohammad:
“For our mahdi there are two signs which have never occured since the creations of the heavens and the earth. A double eclipse in which the moon will be eclipsed on the first of the possible months of Ramadhan, and the the sun will be eclipsed in the middle of the possible months of Ramadhan.” (Dar Qutni, Sunan, volume 1 page 188.)

------> The only claimer:
" It is a sign of the promissed mehdi, that allah will show such signs in the sky, that there will be a lunar eclipse in the first of its specific dates, and a solar eclipse in the middle one of its specific dates. And both the solar and lunar eclipse will take place in ramadan.
As a sign, the solar and the lunar eclipse have taken place in my times. "
( mirza ghulam ahmed of qadian, in “chashma ma’arfat” page 314 )
------> Those who reject:
"Those who reject Our Signs and turn away from them with disdain the gates of spiritual firmament will not be opened for them nor will they enter heaven until the camel goes through the eye of a needle. And thus do We requite the offenders. "
( the koran, chapter 7, verse 40)

(Yanabaiul Muwadat part 3, page, 58)
—> Hadhrat Muhammad bin Faris Misri, may allah’s mercy be upon him, said:
“Our scholar will be a prophet; and from among those who call towards the truth; he will have the station of messengership; and our A’arif will be in the Ahmadi period, will be from among those who have strong determination, and will receive greatness.”
(Al Maddad, Al Faidh page 38)
—> Hazrat mulla ali qari, may allah’s mercy be upon him, said:
“so among seventy three sects all of them will be in fire and the sect deserving paradise will be the one which will have the Mohammadiyya glory, and will be following the holy “Ahmadiyya” practices.”
(Maktaba Imdadiyya Multan page 248)
—> Hadhrat Mujaddid Alif Thani, may allah’s mercy be upon him, said:
"Around one thousand and some years after the sad demise of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), the Muhammadiyya truth will ascend from its station and will unite with the place of the truth of ka’aba. At that time the muhammadiyya truth will be called “the ahmadiyya truth”.
(Mabda’a Maud)
So be on watch for a day when heaven shall bring a manifest smoke
covering the people; this is a painful chastisement. ‘O our lord remove thou from us, the chastisement; we are believers.’ How should they have the reminder? seeing a clear Messenger has already come to them, then they turned away from him, and said,’ A man, tutored, possessed!"
( the koran, verse 11-14, chapter 44, Smoke, the nuclear explosion.)
