Unfortunately, or would
I rather say, fortunately – if I
consider all the blames that have followed all elects of Allah even after their
deaths – the Musleh Maoud (ra) also went deep into the waters of critics to
such a point that now the question of
his appointment of being Musleh Maoud, the Pure Son and Reformer promised to
the Promised Messiah (as) is being questioned. And this, by none other than his
once follower Abdul Ghaffar Janbah Sahib (Kiel ,
Germany
I had invited them (especially their leader) to a
Mubahila, as early as March 2011, and prepared an official document on 21
November 2011, but it was only in mid-February that they finally accepted the
Mubahila after the deadline of 31 December
2011 (at midnight; they have not respected the deadline – playing hide and
seek) which I gave them. They moreover:
(1) did
not put the seal of their Jamaat Ahmadiyya Islah Pasand but only the
official seal of their Imam and
(2) they both did not date the document
as to when did they both signed it and
(3) on
page 65, they did not put my name (as the document requested)
Nonetheless, they
signed, and Insha-Allah today itself the document shall appear online for
one and all to see, with all the concerned parties involved.
What test of faith and that of his claim did he not
pass? He
went through countless trials, and the greatest of all was the test of his
life. Indeed, on 10 March 1954 he was twice stabbed in the neck by an enemy,
who pretended to be a new convert. A piece of the knife remained etched in his
neck, in his jugular vein, yet he lived for many years with it. This survival
was a miracle which doctors also recognised. No escape would he have got if he
really was an impostor. Impostors do not get to live long enough to complete
their missions.
1. Narrated Abu Huraira: When Khaibar was conquered, a
(cooked) sheep containing poison, was given as a present to Allah’s Apostle. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 551)
That was around
three years before the death of Hazrat Muhammad (saw).
2. Narrated ‘Aisha: The Prophet in his ailment in which he
died, used to say, “O ‘Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar,
and at this time, I feel as if my aorta (life-artery) is being cut from that
poison.” (Sahih al-Bukhari,
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 713)
3. Narrated by Anas b. Malik: A Jewess brought a poisoned
sheep to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), and he ate of it. She was then brought to
the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) who asked her about it. She said: I intended to
kill you. He said: Allah will not give you control over it; or he said: over
me. They (the Companions) said: Should we not kill her? He said: No. He (Anas)
said: I always found it in the uvula of the Apostle of Allah
(pbuh). (Abu Dawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4493)
Does that mean that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
actually died from the poison he tasted three years before his actual death.
When we Muslims know that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) IS THE TRUE PROPHET OF ALLAH, then why Ahmadis, like such groups as
that of Janbah Sahib etc. are adamant to claim that when Hazrat Mirza
Bashiruddin (ra) was struck in the neck with the dagger, he died from it (in
the end!). But the end did not happen on the spot, but it took so
many years before Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin (ra) actually died! Just like Hazrat
Muhammad (sa) who said (a parable of how he felt the pangs of death) that he
could feel the poison he tasted ripping him apart, especially his aorta.
Verily Allah says in Surah Al-Haqqah: “And if he had
forged (and
attributed) any sayings to Us, We
would surely have seized him by the right hand, And then surely We would have
severed his life-artery, And not one of you could have held (Us) off from
him.” (69: 45-48). No
doctors, no human influence could have saved a false claimant! Won’t the
doubters and ignorant accept this verse and the veracity of Hazrat Mirza
Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad (ra)? (Like I
said previously, his messianic qualities whereby he “survived the cross”!)
Does this not prove also the truth of our beloved Prophet
Muhammad (sa) when the Jews who tried to kill him just like they did with the
past prophets, and verily during the battle of Uhud the rumour spread that the
Prophet died, but verily Allah will not let His prophets die until their missions are completed,
even if it means that their Shahaddat
(martyrdom) is written in the hands of their enemies. And it is a fact that as the Quran mentions,
the Jews did kill some of the prophets of Allah in the past.
Indeed Martyrdom is a great status reached by prophets and
pious and beloved servants of Allah. But a Prophet is protected by Allah
till he completes his mission (An example of it is when Allah saved Jesus
(as) from the cross, and made him accomplish his mission before taking him back
to Him through death), and if thereafter the enemies plans to kill him, and
if they succeed (because Allah wants that these enemies burn in the fire of
Hell, having no hope for them to enter paradise) then when this happens,
then Allah manifests His wrath in such a way that He crushes to
pieces the assassins of His Khalifatullah, Messenger, Prophet and Elect. And
He manifests Himself in the sky and making it become red with the
blood of His Beloved Messenger!
Therefore, the life of
the Musleh Maoud Mirza Mahmud Ahmad (ra) is really an open book for all seekers
of truth. His life achievements, his piety and inner power which radiated
through his being made him not only a successor of his father but also the
reformer promised by none other than Allah Himself to make shine Islam in the
four corners of the world. Such was the Amir’ul Mu’mineen Khalifatul Massih II,
Hazrat Musleh Maoud (ra). May Allah shower His choicest blessings upon him and
cause his memory to be an everlasting inspiration for us. Ameen.
