Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Was he the
prophesied Messiah of the Bible?
We
find some claims in this booklet in the section “The second Advent of Jesus”
that the Messiah Jesus has already come by Dr Aziza Rahman!
We find this claim very
artificial and superficial when we read further into the text which states:
(The text of the
booklet is in Itlaic)
Most people who await
Jesus’s return believe that he will descend physically in his own body from
heaven and yet, all the signs indicate that the time is right no one has seen
him. Why does he not come?
Why does God not send him when the world is in such a dire need of him.
The answer to this is
very simple. God has sent him; but
he has sent him in a manner that few had the foresight and wisdom to understand.
He further goes on to
claim that the Messiah Jesus would not be himself the Jesus who lived two
thousand years ago, but another person who would come in the likeness of Jesus.
He then goes on to quote II Kings 2:11 Elijah/Elias ascended into heaven
in a chariot drawn by horses and the Jews were expecting his return to earth
which would precede the coming of the Messiah promised to them.
Our answer:
There are a lot of claims
made in the above short paragraph.
When we look at the Bible
and investigate further we find problems with this at all levels.
First the Bible does not
state that the return of Jesus to earth would be in a human birth for
Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was born of a normal birth.
The Bible states in Matthew 24:29-30
Immediately after the
tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give
her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens
shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign
of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and
great glory.
Jesus Christ is to come
riding in the clouds with great glory therefore not born as stated by Ahmadiyyas
incorrectly.
In Zechariah 14:2-4 we
read
14:2 For
I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be
taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall
go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from
the city.
14:3 Then
shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in
the day of battle.
14:4 And
his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before
Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof
toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and
half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half
of it toward the south.
Zechariah 14:2 speaks of
a future prophecy which has still to be fulfilled.
Clearly one can see that
this prophecy has not been fulfilled before the Messiah Jesus will return and
that he will descend from heaven!
It is also preposterous
to suggest that Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was the Messiah as Hadhrat
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is dead and did not fulfil any bit of these prophecies for
the Messiah will come and setup the Messianic Kingdom and there is no physical
death.
Ø
Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is dead.
Ø
Could not save anyone in Jerusalem.
Ø
He was born of a normal birth and did not descend from heaven in his full
glory.
Ø
He was not divine in anyway whatsoever.
The author of the booklet
further goes to state various claims of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
being Messiah because of him doing miracles.
Now if the Hindu gurus do
better miracles then should they also to be considered Messiahs?
The precondition of the
Messiah Jesus is not performing great Miracles but prophecy fulfilment which
remain to be fulfilled at a future undefined time.
The author Dr Aziza
Rahman claims that “in 1984, shortly after Hadhrat Ahmad had declared
himself the Messiah, Jesus himself predicted that his second coming would be
heralded by the falling of stars (Matt 24:29:30).
This occurred in November 1833, when thousand of meteorites were seen in
the sky”.
As the author does not
seem to know the Bible very well or Bible prophecy for that we would like to
advise her to read the Bible once more.
The Bible text in Matt
24:29 says “Immediately
after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon
shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven”.
The tribulation is still to come as the outpouring of the divine wrath stated in Bowl Judgements of Revelation 16 followed by his subsequent appearance in Rev 19 and 20.
Rev
19:11-21 and Rev 20:1-2
19:11 And
I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was
called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
19:12 His
eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a
name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
19:13 And
he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word
of God.
19:14 And
the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine
linen, white and clean.
19:15 And
out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations:
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
19:16 And
he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD
OF LORDS.
19:17 And
I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to
all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves
together unto the supper of the great God;
19:18
That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of
mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh
of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19:19 And
I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together
to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
19:20 And
the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before
him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and
them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire
burning with brimstone.
19:21 And
the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which
sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their
flesh.
20:1 And
I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a
great chain in his hand.
20:2 And
he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and
bound him a thousand years, 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut
him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more,
till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a
little season.
Several key questions are
begged to be asked of this person claiming to be the Messiah Jesus of
Nazareth!!!
Ø
Did he come on a white horse with His angels?
Ø
Were his eyes as a flame of fire?
Ø
Did he have the name of the Word of God? (only
attributed to God)
Ø
Did he slay the Anti-Christ into the pit of
Fire?
Ø
Did he cast Satan in the pit for a 1000 years?
The answer to all these
questions is a blunt NO!!!
If Satan was in the pit
then we would not have the problems we are having today as he is still the
prince of the world and fully loose.
So far from this short
study we can see that this Person Hadhrat Ahmad was not only a false Messiah
according to the Bible but an impostor pretending to be the Messiah Jesus of
Nazareth.
Now the intelligent
reader can make his own mind up whether this Ahmadiyya is another sect to fool
the true believers of Jesus of Nazareth into thinking that Hadhrat Ahmad was a
Messiah for he fulfils no prophecy of the Bible whatsoever.
Matthew
24:24-25
For there
shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Behold, I
have told you before.
The following are some of the quotes on which Ahmadiyya's place their faith...
This is what they believes in...
... is a vile attack on the Sahaabah (Companions) radhiyallahu anhum
"Like Aboo Hurayrah who was dull and did not possess good
understanding/knowledge." (Roohaani ]Khazaa'in, Page 127, Vol. 19, Mirza Ghulam)
"Leave the dispute of the old caliphate; accept the new caliphate. A living Ali is present amongst you; you are leaving him and looking for the dead Ali." (Malfoozaate Ahmadiyyah, Page 142, Vol. 2, Mirza Ghulam)
"What were Aboo Bakr and Umar? They were not even fit to open the shoelaces of Hadhrat Ghulam Ahmad." (Monthly Al Mahdi, January-February, 1915) "Faatimah radhiyallahu anhaa, in a visionary state, placed my head on her thigh and showed me that I am from it." (Roohaani Khazaa'in
Page 213, Vol. 18, Mirza Ghulam)
... debases the greatest of all Prophets, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam
"Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam and his Sahaabah (companion) used to eat cheese made by the Christians, although it was well known that pig's fat is used in its making." (Al Fadhl, Qaadiyaan, 22nd February, 1924, Mirza Ghulam)
... believes that the words of Mirza are equal to Qur'aan
"Whatever I hear through Allah's revelation, by Allah, I believe it to be pure from every mistake. My revelation is pure from mistakes like the Qur'aan. This is my faith . By Allah, it is noble word from the mouth of God, the one only." (Roohaani Khazaa'in, Page 477, Vol. 18, Mirza Ghulam)
... claims divinity for Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
"I (Mirza) saw in a dream that I am God. I have believed that I am God." (Roohaani Khazaa'in, Page 564, Vol. 5, Mirza Ghulam)
... declares all non-Qaadiyaanis as nonbelievers
"All Muslims who have not entered allegiance to Maseeh Maw'ood (Mirza), even though they have not heard the name of Maseeh Maw'ood, are kaafir and out of the fold of Islaam." (Aai'nae Sadaaqat, Page 35)
