The Qadiani Mahdi of the Cave

 

Evolution of concepts or chameleon-like change !    Anyone who follows the development of the claims of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Al-Qadiani, the prophet of the Qadiani sect, will notice that he initially weakened the hadiths and narrations that his opponents used to present. However, he would later interpret the hadith or narration that he had previously deemed weak or ridiculous. Thus, the weak narration turns into a conclusive argument for Mirza after it had been an argument against him. The interpretation of that narration will apply to Mirza himself according to his esoteric interpretation of it .             There is, of course, no fault in this tactic according to the Qadiani philosophy, as this falls under a wonderful characteristic of Qadianism called “evolution of concepts ”! The examples of what I mentioned above are many and difficult to enumerate. In this article, I will suffice with examples of Mirza’s weakening of all the hadiths that indicate the appearance of the Mahdi, and yet he continued to claim to be the Mahdi. Mirza also confirmed at the beginning the invalidity of the hadiths that say that the Mahdi will be from the descendants of Fatima, and he denied the Imami Shiites who were waiting for the emergence of the boy who disappeared in the cave. However, when Mirza saw the insistence of his opponents on their opinions, he progressed with them until he finally claimed that he was the Mahdi of the cave and that he was actually from the descendants of Fatima, and thus all the effects of the Sunnis and Shiites apply to him at the same time .           Here I will summarize the progression of Mirza’s statements and his confusion in his claims in this regard in his Arabic writings. I would like to start by reminding you of Mirza’s words about his Arabic writings, where he said : “ All my writings in Arabic are inspired because I wrote them with special support from Allah. Sometimes I do not know the meaning of some words and paragraphs that I write until I look in the dictionary and then understand the meaning .” Narration No. 104 of the book “Seerat Al-Mahdi” written by Ibn Mirza Ghulam, nicknamed Qamar Al-Anbiya .  Mirza says that all the hadiths about the Mahdi are weak. Mirza wrote in his book “Hamamat Al-Bushra” in 1894 AD, page 314, the following: “As for the hadiths about the coming of the Mahdi, you know that they are all weak and flawed.” Then he adds on the next page, emphasizing: “The result is that all these hadiths are not free from oppositions and contradictions, so he has abandoned them all .” Although he stated that all the hadiths about the promised Mahdi are weak, he did not object to being the promised Mahdi! Now let us see how Mirza used those effects which he said were weak in order to confirm that they heralded his Mahdiship and no one else .   His Eminence Mirza Punjabi was from Persia !           At first, Mirza said that it was known that his family was of Mongolian origin, but later he claimed that God Almighty had told him that he was of Persian origin and not Mongolian. In 1893, Mirza wrote in his book “Mirat Kamalat al-Islam” p. 499 the following : (( Know, may God support you, that my fathers were originally Persians )). With a simple equation: (Persian = Mahdi ) and when Mirza became Persian by inspiration and not Mongolian or Punjabi, then in his opinion he became the promised Mahdi because there was a hadith which, in his opinion, indicated the virtue of the people of Persia and the Mahdi who will restore the lost faith at the end of time  !                             The wording of the hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari, Muslim and Ahmad is as follows: ((On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: We were sitting with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when Surat Al-Jumu’ah was revealed to him: “And others among them who have not yet joined them.” He said: I said: Who are they, O Messenger of Allah? He did not respond to him until he asked three times, and among us was Salman Al-Farsi. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, put his hand on Salman and then said: “If faith were at the Pleiades, men from these would attain it.” ))           The hadith, as you can see, does not refer to the Mahdi or anyone else, and it does not refer to the restoration of faith that was lost, as Mirza claimed. How can faith be lost and Islam die when Allah, the Almighty, has pledged to preserve His religion and that the Islamic nation was the best nation brought forth for mankind? All that is in the hadith is that other peoples will join the caravan of faith that began with the Arabs. Let us read together the verses from Surat Al-Jumu’ah that the hadith came to explain . Allah, the Almighty, said: (( Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth glorifies Allah . (1) It is He who has sent among the unlettered a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and wisdom - although they were before in clear error. (2) And others from among them who have not yet joined them. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (3 ) - Surah Al-Jumu’ah .  The noble verses show that other peoples will join the ranks of faith that began with the illiterate, and the noble hadith shows that these peoples are the non-Arabs like Salman al-Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him). As for Mirza, he chose to transform into a Persian by inspiration, thus becoming the promised Mahdi that the hadith prophesies, according to his claim ! And to confirm to the people that he is of Persian origin, he had to receive a holy revelation from his god Yalash to confirm his new nationality. Let us read the miraculous revelation that Mirza claimed in 1893 AD to confirm his new race : (( Take monotheism, monotheism, O sons of the Persians)) The Book of Tuhfat Baghdad, p. 25    A simpler Qadiani equation: (Persian = Qurayshi . When some objected that the Islamic Caliphate is Qurayshi and that the Mahdi must be from Quraysh, Mirza Ghulam solved this national problem simply, as he wrote in his book “The Secret of the Caliphate” in 1894 AD ((And in the book of facilitation on the authority of Abu Hurairah “Whoever converts to Islam from the sons of Persia is a Qurayshi” and I am from Persia as my Lord informed me ))  What is the opinion of the fourth Qadiani Caliph? But the previous Qadiani Caliph responded to the objections of the opponents and confirmed that Mirza, by claiming that he was from the sons of Persia, was not referring to the hadith that explains the superiority of the people of Persia, as the text of the hadith according to the opinion of the Qadiani Caliph also does not refer at all to the superiority of the people of Persia. Let us read together what the inspired Caliph said in his powerful sermon that he delivered on March 29, 1985 AD, where he said :    (( The first part of their objection is that it is possible that our master Imam Mahdi and the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him, announced that he was of Iranian origin to make him a confirmation of the hadith The Prophet (PBUH) praised the role of Iranian Muslims in spreading Islam. Then the fourth Qadiani Caliph adds : (( Since they did not dare to state the text of the hadith, they deliberately twisted and twisted the words of the Messenger as if he (PBUH) praised the role of the Iranians. Therefore, our Master Imam Mahdi and the Promised Messiah (PBUH) tried, according to their claim, to make himself a proof of this praise. ))           The fourth Qadiani Caliph believes that we are clever distorters who fabricate lies about the poor boy. The hadith does not at all indicate the merits of the people of Persia or that one of them will restore lost Islam. Well, his accusation seems logical to those who have not read Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s books! Now let us read a sample of Mirza Qadiani’s writings in this regard .   The Caliph does not know the secret of the Caliphate !           Let us read together what Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani wrote in 1894 AD, and you will see how far the Qadianis’ impudence has reached in responding to their opponents! Their inspired Caliph did not hesitate to describe the opponents as distorters and liars, although Mirza Ghulam had clearly explained his distorted understanding of the Hadith in his writings, leaving no room for doubt. Was the inspired Qadiani Caliph ignorant of Ghulam’s writings, as is the case with most of the new Ahmadiyya theorists? Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani says in his book “The Secret of the Caliphate” p. 386: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was asked about the reality of the others, so he placed his hand on Salman’s shoulder like a loyal and loving follower, and said, “If faith were suspended from the Pleiades, meaning going away from the world, a man from Persia would attain it.” This is a reference from the best of creation to the last of the Imams, and a reference to the fact that the Imam who will emerge at the end of time and restore the lights of faith to the earth will be from the sons of Persia, by the decree of Allah, the Most Gracious. So ponder and reflect on this Hadith, as no other Hadith can reach its level, and Bukhari has mentioned it in Sahih with complete clarity. And if it is proven that the Imam who will come at the end of time is the Persian and no other human being, then there is no place left for another man to set foot in )) By the way, did you notice that the photographed document shows how the young man used the word “khatam” with the plural of “al-‘aqalaa” to denote the meaning of “the last of them”? On page 385 he said, “This is a reference to the Seal of the Imams,” and he added on the next page, saying, “This is a reference from the best of creation to the last of the Imams.” This is one of many examples of Mirza using the word “khatam” with the plural of “al-‘aqalaa” to mean “                                      The last of them,” but the Qadianis today insist that the word “seal” with the group of rational people cannot mean the last of them! Let us read together what they wrote on their official website : I said : It is true that “if you have no shame, then do whatever you want .”                                  The inspired caliph is also ignorant of the sacred revelation !            Yes, the inspired Qadiani Caliph - like all the Qadianis I have known - was ignorant of or ignored the text of the revelation claimed by Mirza. A part of the hadith "If faith were at the Pleiades" was mentioned in the revelation claimed by Mirza Ghulam, and yet the Qadiani Caliph denied that Mirza wanted to benefit from that hadith when he claimed to be Persian. Look at the revelation claimed by Mirza in his book "Tuhafat Baghdad" in 1893 CE, page 27, where the miraculous Qadiani revelation distorted the text of the hadith to read as follows: ((If faith were hanging at the Pleiades, a man from the sons of Persia would attain it, whose oil would almost glow even if no fire touched it )) The Ghulam confirms that the Mahdi is not from the descendants of Fatima : Mirza Ghulam claimed that the hadiths that say that the Mahdi is from the descendants of Fatima have no basis and that they are all illusions; Al-Mirza says in his book “ The Secret of the Caliphate” p. 384: “You claim that the promised Mahdi and the blessed Imam will emerge from the sons of Fatima to extinguish devastating seditions and will not be from another people. Know that this is an illusion with no basis.”               ((  for him   Although Mirza denied the authenticity of all the hadiths about the Mahdi and denied that the Mahdi was from the descendants of Fatima, he continued to insist that he was the Mahdi. Mirza wrote in 1902 AD: (I am the Mahdi who is the awaited promised Messiah and what is mentioned in it is that he is from the descendants of Fatima, so fear Allah and the devastating hour )) - The Inspirational Sermon, p. 241   The boy from the family of the Prophet in dreams !           Mirza wrote in his book "Mirat Kamalat al-Islam " , p. 563, the following: ((And I saw in another dream that I had become Ali bin Abi Talib and the people were disputing over my caliphate and I was among them like someone who is fasted and humiliated and covered with the filth of suspicions and he is from those who disavow him . Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, looked at me and I thought to myself that I was to him in the position of sons and he is from my honored fathers ))      and he is from the descendants of Fatima in my waking dreams ! :           And in the book “Mirat Kamalat al-Islam” also, the boy sees a revelation while he is awake and feels that he resembles al-Husayn and that he is from the descendants of Fatima. Al-Mirza says on page 549 ((One day, I finished the evening prayer and its Sunnahs and I was awake, neither sleep nor drowsiness had overcome me and I was not among those who sleep. While I was like that, I heard the sound of the door being slammed and the doormen came rushing towards me. When they came close to me, I knew that they were five blessed ones, I mean Ali with his two sons and his wife al-Zahra and the Master of Messengers - O Allah, bless and grant peace upon him and his family until the Day of Judgment. And I saw that al-Zahra placed my head on her thigh and looked with looks of compassion that I knew on her face, so I understood in my heart that I had a relationship with al-Husayn and a resemblance in some of his attributes and characteristics, and Allah knows and He is the most knowing of the worlds ))    No dreams and no sadness - Mirza is the Mahdi of the descendants of Fatima in flesh and blood : Yes! So what prevents Mirza Al-Hindi Al-Mughal Al-Persian Al-Qurashi from being from the people of the house also in reality and not metaphorically, but from the descendants of Fatima specifically. Everything is possible according to the customs of the sons of Qadian !           Mirza wrote in his book “Supplement to the Truth of Revelation” in 1907 AD the following : (( My Lord informed me that some of my mothers were from the sons of Fatima and from the people of the house of prophecy, and God gathered in them the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael from the perfection of wisdom and interest ))   His name matches my name and his father’s name matches my father’s name : By false revelation, all the standards and specifications can apply to Mirza Al-Qadiani, even if they were the international quality specifications ISO 9000.   But the problem facing Mirza now is a hadith narrated by Abu Dawood which says : (( The world will not pass away or end until the Arabs are ruled by a man from my family whose name matches my name )) and another hadith also narrated by Abu Dawood which says : (( If there were only one day left of the world, Allah would lengthen that day until He sends in it a man from me or from my family whose name matches my name and whose father’s name matches my father’s name )) So in these hadiths Mirza faced two main problems : - The first problem is the similarity of the first name and the father’s name . - The second problem is that the hadith mentions that the man rules the Arabs .                                 Mirza overcame the first hurdle by claiming that his name was Ahmad - although his actual name was Ghulam Ahmad, meaning "servant of Ahmad" or "slave of Ahmad" - but how could he get past the issue of his father's name (Ghulam Murtaza) since it had no relation to the name (Abdullah), the father of the Prophet (PBUH)? The problem could have been solved by a revelation claiming that Mirza's real father was named Abdullah! But that would mean that Ghulam Murtaza was not Mirza's real father! So the alternative solution was esoteric interpretation, and that is exactly what Mirza Ghulam did; In his book “The Secret of the Caliphate” p. 374, he wrote the following : “ What is meant by the agreement of the two names is a spiritual agreement, not a physical one .”   Of course, people, the similarity between the names is spiritual! Although no one can explain the meaning of this incoherent talk, the Qadianis must accept it, as Mirza is talking about spiritual matters, which are matters that cannot be explained at all. So the result is that the hadith “His name agrees with my name and his father’s name agrees with my father’s name” applies completely to Mirza himself. The Qadianis had previously accepted that Ghulam Ahmad bin Sharagh Bibi (Mirza’s mother) was the same as Jesus, son of Mary, because Mirza’s god, according to his claim, made him in the form of a pregnant woman, then her creation changed to a male after ten months (in a metaphorical form)!! So what is the objection to the name (Ghulam Ahmad bin Ghulam Murtaza) being the same as the name (Muhammad bin Abdullah) in a spiritual form? Of course, there is no objection ! But the second problem has not been solved yet. Mirza Ghulam was not a king over the Arabs, nor did he set foot on Arab soil, nor did he perform Hajj or Umrah. But simple problems like these do not stand in the way of the Banu Qadian, as the easy solution is always to flee and not discuss the issue at all, which is a tradition that Mirza Ghulam established for his slaves and followers after him. A Qadiani who cannot forge or twist texts must flee and claim victory at the same time .             Mirza hoped to set foot on Arab soil, and that alleged prophet even prayed to his Lord to grant him a visit to the land of the Arabs. In his book “Mirat Kamalat al-Islam” p. 421, Mirza addressed the Arabs and prayed to his Lord, saying, “ I ask Allah Almighty to grant me the sight of your soil.” So what was the result of the prayer of that alleged prophet, I wonder? The cave is a metaphor ! Now it is the turn of the Imami Shiites, even if that Punjabi Quraish person was represented by Ali bin Abi Talib in a dream and had a kinship with Hussein through inspiration, he cannot be the promised Mahdi according to the Shiites, because the awaited Mahdi who calls on the Shiites to hasten his emergence is that boy who entered the cave hundreds of years ago and will suddenly emerge at the end of time . But the answer that the Shiites overlooked is found in Mirza Ghulam! The cave mentioned in the Shiite collections is nothing but a metaphor, and those traces and myths are nothing but correct metaphors that all confirm that Mirza Qadiani is the same as Muhammad bin al-Hasan al-Askari, the awaited Mahdi of the Shiites, because Mirza is the real Mahdi of the cave !                   Al-Ghulam says in his book “The Secret of the Caliphate” p. 375: ((And I think that some of the Imams from the Household of the Prophethood were inspired by His Majesty that Imam Muhammad had disappeared in the cave and would emerge at the end of time to kill the infidels and raise the word of the nation and religion. This imagination is similar to the imagination of Christ’s ascension to heaven and his descent when the deaf seditions surge. The secret that reveals the truth and clarifies the method is that these words and others like them were spoken by the inspired ones through metaphors, as they are filled with subtle allusions. So it is as if the grave, which is the home of the righteous after the transfer from this world, was expressed by the cave and through the emergence of the like, which is naturally and essentially united with the emergence of the Imam from the cave. This is his metaphor ))   So the Shia claim that the alleged boy Muhammad bin al-Hasan al-Askari had entered the cellar in Samarra more than a thousand and one hundred years ago and would emerge later is nothing but conclusive evidence that Mirza Qadiani Punjabi is the same as the awaited military Mahdi !   Are there limits to Qadiani lies? Finally, let us read together the revelation that Mirza Ghulam claimed to have received from his god Yalash in 1905 AD : (( I am with you, O son of the Messenger of God)) - Tadhkira, p. 5.   Are you surprised? No wonder, for everything is possible if Mirza Ghulam wanted it. Didn’t Mirza claim that his god Yalash had given him divine characteristics and addressed him with revelation, saying : (( Your command, when you want a thing, is only to say to it, “Now,” and it is)) - Tadhkira, p. 2
