People who reject revelation and prophethood, in their incredulity, confuse revealed truths with illusory “enchantment” or “sorcery” and when Elects of God appear with revelations, they are invariably ridiculed. Such men reject Prophets based on their false notions/beliefs and flawed reasoning on God’s ways (Sunnat Allah), especially on the continuity of perpetual guidance through His servants in morally-darkened times. “We have sent down the Reminder Ourself, and We Ourself will guard it (from all corruption).” (15:10) "O children of Adam, if Messengers come to you from among yourselves, rehearsing My Signs unto you, then whoso shall fear God and do good deeds, on them shall come no fear nor shall they grieve." (7: 36)
Recently, a man ignorant of the Qur’anic insights on the rejection of Prophets by people sought to parade his sectarian prejudices against the Ahmadi Muslims by raising a question: “Why the Qadiani Prophet, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad [i.e. the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as)] was not accepted by all people?” The comprehensive response given by Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (aba) of Mauritius on the occasion deserves to be studied by every truth-seeker.
Read the Extracts from the Response Below:
'...So, to reply to this gentleman, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) was conscious that if a man claims to have received revelation from Allah (twt), there could be only two alternatives, either the claim was true and in that case it was incumbent on people to accept the claim and follow him or else the claim was false and the man was an imposter and was to be rejected. So, this gentleman [the ignorant, I can say – in his ignorance [as if] he has never read the Holy Quran] from the way he asked the question where Allah (twt) says for the umpteenth time that all the Prophets of the world had been disbelieved by their respective people including Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), i.e., our Beloved Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) by the Meccans in most of his ministry until they were conquered in the 8th year of the Hijra.
So does that mean our blessed Prophet became true Prophet only after the conquest of Arabia and not before? Does it mean the prophet Hud, Saleh, Lut, Shuaib (as) etc., all the other prophets were not prophets because the people rejected them? Even Prophet Abraham’s father disbelieved in him and wanted to stone him. So he left his father and emigrated. Our blessed Prophet is a Prophet of the whole world and Islam is the religion of all mankind.
So say God in the Holy Quran: “It is incumbent on mankind to accept and follow him”, yet more than three-quarters of mankind have rejected him. Does that mean the Prophet, the Quran and Islam are not true? Oh what are you saying? Oh God! Oh Allah! Save us from these kinds of people; they are truly ignorant. If all the Indian Muslims or at least all the Punjabi Muslims believed at once when Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian claimed to be the Promised Messiah and followed him, I would have doubted his claim because it would have contradicted the Quran and the Hadith which prophesized that the coming Muslims’ Messiah would be fiercely opposed by the bigoted Muslims of his time. Just as the Jews’ Messiah, Jesus son of Mary was fiercely opposed by the bigoted Pharisee Jews of his time.
So, this is a strong evidence of the truth of the claims of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) as the Promised Messiah and Mahdi. And then he continued to talk so many nonsense about Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as), so I don’t want to reply to this kind of people because this was a violent struggle and this seems that he does not know the Holy Quran, he does not know the true teachings of Islam and this - what he heard from his Mullahs, his Maulvis - from what he saying, so he came to me with this question.
One of these questions I tried to reply to him, that is, True Islam of a sincere believer is immune from danger of any kind: from Satan or men, but secular head counting [of] Islam [population] - of the Muslim world - 800 millions, perhaps more, are in danger of many kinds. Muslims, Ahmadi Islam can convince and protect Ahmadi Muslims. Those who are more concerned with the hereafter, they take to Qadianism and those who love this secular modern world, they take to the ideologies mentioned [above]. This is so because of its denial in the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad (pbuh), the seat anchor of Muslim Solidarity.
So, it is not true that Qadianis do not believe in the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad (pbuh). Qadianis, that is, Ahmadis differ in the interpretation of the Quranic verses - Chapter 33 Verse 40 [or 41] about finality or rather the "seal of the prophets in the Quran. In Chapter 3 Verse 7 [or 8], Allah says: “There are verses clear that are the essence of the book and others allegorical and none knows its interpretation save only Allah”.
The Chapter 33 Verse 40 which about the finality or the Seal of the Prophet is one of the allegoric one. Therefore, it’s true interpretation is known only to Allah (twt) and this true interpretation, Allah had revealed to Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian who was the Promised Messiah and this true interpretation from Allah is which [what you say] that Qadianis/ Ahmadis believe - I believe also. I am the follower of the Promised Messiah. Can any Ulama of the Muslim world say his interpretation of the Chapter 33 Verse 40 (or 41) had been revealed to him by Allah?
If not, then the Muslim world is following their whim as the true interpretation. Of course, the Muslim can say nothing was revealed to Mirza Sahib (to Hazrat Mira Ghulam Ahmad (as)) just as the non-Muslim world can say nothing was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
So we are back where we were before, your word against mine is no evidence either way until the Resurrection Day when Allah will tell us what we were [opposed] about. So if you can get your Mullahs and put this in front of your Maulvis (the replies) and tell them to study this and to reply to me and come forward.
Jazak-Allah, Ahsanul Jaza. Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu. I am very sad for this kind of people...'
