Mirza Ghulam and Deputy Atham

Dr. Syed Rashid Ali

"He who is a Liar in his claims, his prophecy is never fulfilled."
(Roohani Khazain Vol.5 P.223)

"Out of 100 prophecies, if even ONE prophecy turns out to be wrong, I will admit that I am a LIAR."
(Roohani Khazain Vol.17 P.460)




Mirza Ghulam A Qadiani, the founder of Ahmadiyya Movement, claimed that he is a recepient of revelation/inspirations from God. On the basis of his inspirations/revelations, he claimed that he is a Prophet, a Messenger, Promised Messiah, Imam Mahdi, Lord Krishnan Jai Singh Bahadur etc. etc. all in one. Despite all these claims he kept insisting that he is a Muslim. When confronted by Muslims that such beliefs are against the teachings of Quran and Hadith and therefore declared him a liar, he declared:

"The basis for our claims is not Hadith but Quran and that Wahi which comes to me. Yes, in support we also present those Hadith which are according to Quran and DO NOT CONTRADICT MY WAHI. Rest of the Hadith, I THROW THEM AWAY LIKE A WASTE PAPER."(Roohani Khazain vol.19 p.140)

"Swearing upon God I say that I beleive in these inspirations in the same way as I believe in Quran and other books of God. And just as I consider Quran undoubtedly and surely the book of God, similarly I believe that that wahi which descends upon me is the word of God." (Haqeetqatul Wahi, Roohani Khazain vol.22 p.220)

When Muslim scholars presented to him the proofs from Quran and Hadith to disprove his claims, he said:
"There is no greater test than my prophecies to judge my truth and lies."
(Roohani Khazain Vol.5 P.288)
"Out of 100 prophecies, if even ONE prophecy turns out to be wrong, I will admit that I am a LIAR."
(Roohani Khazain Vol.17 P.460)
Dear Readers!
I am sure you would agree that PROPHECIES are not the proof of someones PROPHETIC STATUS. However Mirza Ghulam insisted on this being the proof of his truthfulness and Allah made sure that he is humiliated in his claims.

A glowing example of such humiliation was the debate with a Christian Priest, Deputy Abdullah Atham.

In 1893 Mirza Ghulam challenged the Christian Missioanry Abdullah Atham to have a written debate on the truthfulness of either religion. He wrote to him:

Between 22nd to 5th June 1893, written debate started in the presence of live audience from both sides. During the debate, one day Mirza declared: Quite understandably Mirza Ghulam became the laughing stock of those present and he made a mockery of Islam in the eyes of
Christians. By the end of the debate Mirza Ghulam's defeat was quite obvious. Finally, Mirza did what he had been doing before. He could not win Atham on intellectual level, he sought refuge in so-called 'divine' message. He issued a GRAND PROPHECY on the last day of debate. Mirza said: Mirza declared: Imagine, has there ever been a Prophet in the history of mankind who had accepted to become leave his religion and become Kaafir or given half his property for the propagation of falsehood? It just shows how little Mirza respected Islam.

10 MONTHS LATER
Mr Atham was still alive, several attempts were made on his life, a man fired a gun at him, cobra snake was thrown in his house, somebody tried to break open his house door. He had to change his residence several times. (Roohani Khazain vol. 13 p.163)

15th MONTH
5th Sept 1894 was the dead line. Mr Atham was being continuously guarded by the police for his life. Mirza became more and more nervous. He requested various people in his letters to pray for the death of Atham. (Maktoobat-e-Ahmadiyya vol.5 No.3 p.128) He distributed sweets to children and return ask them to pray for Atham's death.

Magic Spell to kill Atham
On 4th September, he chose some close associates to recite a special wazeefa on gram seeds to have Atham killed, which were then personally thrown in a disused well outside Qadian by Mirza. He took two of his close associates for the task and had instructed them that as soon as he had thrown the enchanted gram seeds in the well, they should run away without looking backwards. (Seeratul Mahdi by Mirza Basheer Ahmad s/o Mirza ghulam vol.1 p.160)

God told Mirza:

Sun went down, but nothing happened.

Mirza gathered his followers in the mosque and reassured them that SUN WILL NOT RISE and ATHAM WILL BE DEAD. He ordered them to pray whole night Whole night voices were crying out from every house: O God! May Atham die. O God! May Atham die. But Alas! nothing happened. (Raees-e-Qadian vol2 p.172)

5th September came and pass. On 6th September 1894, Christians took out a procession to celebrate the victory of Atham over Mirza. They ridiculed and lampooned Islam. For them, Mirza and Islam were synonymous. What a service to Islam!

Every word of this Grand Prophecy proved to be false:

Man proposes and God disposes. Mirza made false claims about his prophecies, Mirza's version of Islam was false in the eyes of Allah, Mirza's arguments in favour of his version of Ahmadiyya Islam was a sham. It was not a defeat of Islam, for Islam is an eternal truth whether one accepts it or not. It was a defeat for Mirza, Allah did not want an imposter prophet to succeed even if he was trying to pretend to be serving Islam. Allah knew what was in the heart of Mirza, the egotistical imposter. Hence Allah made sure that Mirza is humiliated.

By his own preset conditions, Mirza should have recieved following punishments:

But who could touch The SELF-CULTIVATED SEEDLING OF THE BRITISH RAJ. (Roohani Khazain vol.13 p.350) If Mirza Ghulam has a slightest trace of honesty and Imaan in his heart, he should have sat down and ponder at what had happened. But his bloated ego prevented him from facing the truth and denouncing his false claims. Instead he started giving the usual excuse:
"He repented in his heart......." (Roohani Khazain Vol.9 P.2)
