The document discusses several prophecies and divine revelations received by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. It summarizes a prophecy that five powerful earthquakes would occur to validate his message and cause panic in the world. It then discusses revelations received about the spread of true Islam through his efforts, with hundreds of thousands accepting the message, including Hindus and English people. God refers to empowering him to spread divine light throughout the world like lightning illuminating the sky.

The Blessings of Prayer, written by the
Promised Messiahas in 1893, is a refutation of Sir Sayyid
Ahmad Khan’s view that there is no such thing as the
acceptance of prayer, and that prayer is no more than a form of
worship. The Promised Messiahas rejects this view and
proclaims that Allah hears and accepts the supplication of
believers which are offered in humility and sincerity, and that
the acceptance of prayer sets in motion its own chain of causes
which culminates in the fulfilment of the objective prayed for.
In the second part of the book, which deals with Sir Sayyid
Ahmad Khan’s other book Usulut Tafsir (On the Principles of
Commentary of the Holy Quran), the Promised Messiahas
presents his criteria or guiding principles for the correct
interpretation of the Holy Quran.

A few days ago, a Christian gentleman by the name of
‘Abdullah James, sent to the Anjuman a few questions
relating to Islam. The answers to these questions have been
written by three honourable friends of the Anjuman, and
we are happy to publish them in this book.
The Questions
Question No. 1
Muhammadsa was in doubt about his own Prophethood and
about the Holy Quran being the Word of God, as is evident
from this verse of Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-An‘am:
2
This shows that in his heart of hearts he knew that he was
not a Messenger of God. Had he been one, or had he shown
any miracles, or had the Mi‘raj been a reality, or had the
Quran been revealed to him by Gabriel, he would never
have been in doubt about his own Prophethood. This
1 In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. We praise Allah and
invoke His blessings upon His Messenger, the Holy Prophetsa.
Nay, it is a collection of clear Signs in the hearts of those who are given
knowledge. [Publishers]
2 …be not therefore of those who doubt.—Al-Baqarah, 2:148; Al-
An‘am, 6:115 [Publishers]
proves that he was in doubt about the Holy Quran and his
own Prophethood. Hence he is not a Prophet of God.
Question No. 2
Had Muhammadsa really been a Messenger, he would not
have responded so helplessly to questions put to him, and
would not have said, 'Only God knows'; which implies that
he did not know. Nor would he have lied about the number
of Ashab-e-Kahaf,3 nor would he have said that the Sun sets
in a murky pool, for the Sun is 90 million times larger than
the earth and it can not possibly hide in a pool of murky
water.
Question No. 3
Muhammadsa was never granted any miracles, as is stated
in Surah Al-‘Ankabut: 'They say why were not a few signs
sent down to him from his Lord.' (That is to say, 'Why was
not a single sign sent down to him,' for, the expression 'La'
in this verse is a universal negative, and it implies the negation
of a class as a whole.) Then, in Surah Bani Isra’il, we
read, 'And We did not send signs because people had rejected
them before.' Which means that God did not give
him any miracles. If he had been given even one miracle,
he would not have been in doubt about [his own]
Prophethood, nor about the Quran.،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،،

In support of his assertion, the critic has quoted an incomplete
verse of Surah Al-Baqarah. The complete verse is as follows:

The debate between Maulavi Muhammad Hussain Batalavi and Maulavi Abdullah Chakrhalavi regarding the status of hadith centered around two extreme views. Batalavi placed too much emphasis on hadith, even over the Quran, while Chakrhalavi rejected hadith entirely. The Promised Messiah argued that both views were flawed - hadith that confirm the Quran should be accepted, while those that contradict it must be rejected. The Quran and sunnah of the Prophet are the highest authorities in Islam.

Lecture Lahore Islam in Comparison with other Religions of Indiamuzaffertahir9
Lecture Lahore Islam in Comparison with Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
of Qadianas
The Promised Messiah and Mahdi
Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at
other Religions of India
About the Author
Born in 1835 in Qadian (India), Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad,
the Promised Messiah and Mahdias, devoted himself to the
study of the Holy Quran and to a life of prayer and devotion.
Finding Islam the target of foul attacks from all directions and
the fortunes of Muslims at a low ebb, he, as the Imam and the
voice articulate of the age, undertook the task of vindicating
Islam and presenting its teachings in their pristine purity. In his
vast corpus of writings, lectures, discourses, religious debates
etc., he argued that Islam was the only living faith, by
following which, man could establish contact with his Creator
and enter into communion with Him. He announced that God
had appointed him the Messiah and Mahdi, according to the
prophecies of the Bible, the Holy Quran and Ahadith. In 1889
he began to accept initiation into his Jama‘at, which is now
established in over a hundred and eighty countries. He wrote
more than eighty books in Urdu, Arabic and Persian.
After his demise in 1908, the Promised Messiahas was
succeeded by Khulafa (Successors), who have continued his
mission. Hadrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vat,
is the present head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at and the
fifth Successor of the Promised Messiahas.
About the Book
Islam in comparison with other Religions of India, which is
commonly known as Lecture Lahore, was written by the
Promised Messiahas and was read out in his presence by Maulana
‘Abdul Karim Sahib Sialkoti before a large gathering in Lahore
on 3rd September, 1904. This lecture contains a comparativeteachings of Islam to be superior to those of other religions.
The Promised Messiahas says the reason for the deluge of sin in
the present age is the lack of awareness about God, and this
can be remedied neither by the Christian doctrine of
Redemption nor by the teachings laid down in the Vedas. True
and perfect awareness about God, which can only be attained
through direct communion with the Almighty, can only be
attained through Islam, for other religions have once and for all
closed upon themselves the door to Divine revelation.
The first English translation of this lecture was published in
the September & October, 1904, edition of The Review of
Religions. This new translation has been prepared by Wakalat
Tasnif, Rabwah.
The document is an introduction to the book "Millat Ibrahim" which discusses fully adhering to the religion of Ibrahim, including outwardly displaying enmity towards polytheists and false beliefs. It notes how most Islamic groups only partially implement Islam and warns against losing sight of the fundamental concept of Tawheed. The introduction encourages adhering fully to both the Quran and Sunnah and standing up for the truth even if it costs one their status or position, as Abdallah ibn Salam did when he embraced Islam.
The document is an introduction to the book "Millat Ibrahim" which discusses fully adhering to the religion and way of Ibrahim by rejecting all forms of shirk and openly displaying hostility towards mushrikeen. It warns that some scholars and callers can be deceived by Shaytan into only implementing parts of Islam and thinking they have fulfilled it when they have not. The introduction encourages adhering fully to the Quran and Sunnah without being deterred by a loss of status or followers.
This document provides 11 Madanī Pearls related to greeting Muslims according to the Sunnah and advice of saints and sages. Some key points include:
1) It is Sunnah to say Salam when meeting a Muslim with the intention of protecting their rights.
2) One receives rewards for saying Salam - 10 for basic greeting, 20 for adding "Alaikum", 30 for adding "Wa Rahmatullah".
3) It is obligatory to reply to Salam audibly. Learning correct pronunciation and traveling in Madani Qafilas are encouraged for learning more about Sunnah.

This document summarizes a historic 1935 conversation between Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw and Islamic scholar Maulana Abdul Aleem Siddiqui in Mombasa, Kenya. Shaw questioned whether Islam had spread by the sword, to which Siddiqui brilliantly responded that Islam means peace and only permits fighting in self-defense, citing Quranic verses. He compared this to how Christianity was imposed through violence like the Council of Nicaea. Shaw acknowledged misunderstandings of Islam, then asked if Muslims agreed with Siddiqui's interpretation, showing interest in further discussion between the representatives of the two civilizations.

It works by using sodium ions rather than lithium ions and two different metals as the electrodes. This sodium-ion battery holds three times as much energy and is less likely to catch fire if damaged or overcharged. It could enable electric vehicles to travel farther on a single charge and mobile devices to have longer battery life between charges.

established in over a hundred and eighty countries. He wrote
more than eighty books in Urdu, Arabic and Persian.
After his demise in 1908, the Promised Messiahas was
succeeded by Khulafa (Successors), who have continued his
mission. Hadrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vat,

fifth Successor of the Promised Messiahas.
About the Book
Islam in comparison with other Religions of India, which is
commonly known as Lecture Lahore, was written by the
Promised Messiahas and was read out in his presence by Maulana
‘Abdul Karim Sahib Sialkoti before a large gathering in Lahore
on 3rd September, 1904. This lecture contains a comparativeteachings of Islam to be superior to those of other religions.
The Promised Messiahas says the reason for the deluge of sin in
the present age is the lack of awareness about God, and this
can be remedied neither by the Christian doctrine of
Redemption nor by the teachings laid down in the Vedas. True
and perfect awareness about God, which can only be attained
through direct communion with the Almighty, can only be
attained through Islam, for other religions have once and for all
closed upon themselves the door to Divine revelation.
The first English translation of this lecture was published in
the September & October, 1904, edition of The Review of
Religions. This new translation has been prepared by Wakalat
Tasnif, Rabwah.
The document is an introduction to the book "Millat Ibrahim" which discusses fully adhering to the religion of Ibrahim, including outwardly displaying enmity towards polytheists and false beliefs. It notes how most Islamic groups only partially implement Islam and warns against losing sight of the fundamental concept of Tawheed. The introduction encourages adhering fully to both the Quran and Sunnah and standing up for the truth even if it costs one their status or position, as Abdallah ibn Salam did when he embraced Islam.
The document is an introduction to the book "Millat Ibrahim" which discusses fully adhering to the religion and way of Ibrahim by rejecting all forms of shirk and openly displaying hostility towards mushrikeen.

Part 13 of a Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat – A Grave Threat to Islam
This document summarizes a historic 1935 conversation between Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw and Islamic scholar Maulana Abdul Aleem Siddiqui in Mombasa, Kenya. Shaw questioned whether Islam had spread by the sword, to which Siddiqui brilliantly responded that Islam means peace and only permits fighting in self-defense, citing Quranic verses. He compared this to how Christianity was imposed through violence like the Council of Nicaea. Shaw acknowledged misunderstandings of Islam, then asked if Muslims agreed with Siddiqui's interpretation, showing interest in further discussion between the representatives of the two civilizations.

This document describes a new type of battery that is safer and longer lasting than current lithium-ion batteries. It works by using sodium ions rather than lithium ions and two different metals as the electrodes. This sodium-ion battery holds three times as much energy and is less likely to catch fire if damaged or overcharged. It could enable electric vehicles to travel farther on a single charge and mobile devices to have longer battery life between charges.

Jihad supreme efforts in the way of allah, Guidance from the Holy Qur'anmuzaffertahir9
Guidance from the Holy Qur'an
Jihad means, exerting one's utmost power contending with an object of disapprobation, and this is of three kinds, namely, (1) with a visible enemy, (2) with Satan, and (3) with one's self.
The Quran teaches that when war breaks out, it should be waged in such a way as to cause the least possible amount of damage to life and property; and that hostilities should be brought to a close as quickly as possible.
22:40 Permission to fight is given to those against whom war is made, because they have been wronged - and Allah indeed has power to help them -
22:41 Those who have been driven out from their homes unjustly only because they said, 'Our Lord is Allah' - And if Allah did not repel some men by means of others, there would surely have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft commemorated. And Allah will surely help one who helps Him. Allah is indeed Powerful, Mighty -
60:9 Allah forbids you not, respecting those who have not fought against you on account of your religion, and who have not driven you forth from your homes, that you be kind to them and act equitably towards them; surely Allah loves those who are equitable.
60:10 Allah only forbids you - respecting those who have fought against you on account of your religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and have helped others in driving you out, that you make friends of them, and whosoever makes friends of them-it is these that are the transgressors.
61:11 O ye who believe! shall I point out to you a bargain that will save you from a painful punishment?
61:12 That you believe in Allah and His Messenger, and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your persons. That is better for you, if you did not know.
29:70 And as for those who strive in Our path-We will surely guide them in Our ways. And verily Allah is with those who do good.

Was ahmadiyya jamaat planted by british?????????????????muzaffertahir9
The sermon addresses the common allegation that Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at was planted by the British. In 3 sentences:
The author refutes this claim, saying that Ahmadiyya was raised by God, not any government. Historically, opponents of Ahmadiyya like Muslim leaders and mullahs welcomed British rule, unlike the founder of Ahmadiyya. The sermon will examine each objection from the White Paper to conclusively show that Ahmadiyya was a divine movement, not influenced by any political power.
"WAS AHMADIYYA MUSLIM JAMA‘AT
PLANTED BY THE BRITISH?"
The Truth Revealed in the Light of Historical Facts
A sermon delivered in Urdu by
Hadrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad Khalifatul Masih IV
on February 01, 1985
at the Fadl Mosque, London
This booklet is the English translation of the
second in the series of the Friday Sermons which were
delivered by the late Hadrat Mirza Tahir Ahmadrh, the
fourth successor of the Promised Messiah, in reply to
the false allegations levelled against the Promised
Messiahas and Ahmadiyya Jama‘at in the White Paper
of the Government of Pakistan promulgated by
General Ziaul Haq, the dictator of Pakistan.
In this Sermon, Hadrat Mirza Tahir Ahmadrh
refutes once for all the false accusation of the
opponents of Ahmadiyyat that the Founder of the
Movement and the Movement itself was planted by
the British government to grind their political axe and
to strengthen their hold on India. The author has
conclusively refuted this allegation in a short space
and shown that Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas was
raised by God himself and he did not need any
support for his mission from any government, let
alone the British government or any other power that
may be. The plant of Ahmadiyyat was planted by God
and cultivated by Him. The author has, supporting his
argument on historical facts, also conclusively shown
that it were the opponents of Ahmadiyyat from among
Muslim leaders as well as the mullas who welcomed,
supported and praised the British rule in India,
whereas Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas praised the
Government for one and only one reason which was
that it had saved the Muslims from the tyranny of the
then Sikh government and granted them religiousfreedom. The sermon was translated into English by
Dr. Saleem-ur-Rahman and revised by Arshad
Ahmadi. Its final checking and editing was done by
Mirza Anas Ahmad M. A. M. Litt. (OXON).
The name of Muhammadsa, the Holy Prophet of
Islam, has been followed by the symbol sa, which is an
abbreviation for the salutation Sallallahu ‘Alaihi
Wasallam (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him). The names of other prophets and messengers are
followed by the symbol as, an abbreviation for
‘Alaihissalam/‘Alaihimussalam (on whom be peace).
The actual salutations have not generally been set out
in full, but they should nevertheless, be understood as
being repeated in full in each case. The symbol ra is
used with the name of the Companions of the Holy
Prophetsa and those of the Promised Messiahas. It
stands for Radi Allahu ‘anhu/‘anha/‘anhum (May
Allah be pleased with him/with her/with them).
rh stands for Rahimahullahu Ta‘ala (may Allah’s
blessing be on him). at stands for Ayyadahullahu
Ta‘ala (May Allah, the AlMighty help him).
In transliterating Arabic words we have
followed the following system adopted by the Royal
Asiatic Society.
Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was born in 1835 in Qadian, India to fulfill prophecies about the promised Messiah and Mahdi. He received a basic religious education as a child but was primarily self-taught through divine revelation. He claimed to be the promised reformer of Islam foretold by previous prophets and established the Ahmadiyya Muslim community.
This document provides background information on Hadrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad, the second successor of the Promised Messiah. It discusses his role in expanding the Ahmadiyya Muslim community globally through various organizations and programs. The document also contains details about the author, contents of the book, and publication history of the English translation. Specifically, it discusses how the book Ahmadiyyat or The True Islam was an expanded version of a paper presented at the 1924 Conference of Living Religions in London on representing Islam. It provides an exhaustive discussion of Islamic teachings on various religious, social, and philosophical topics from an Ahmadi Muslim perspective.
Lecture Lahore - Islam in Comparison with other Religions of Indiamuzaffertahir9
The document is a lecture given by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad comparing the major religions of India - Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity. He argues that the main reason for religious disputes and the proliferation of sin is a lack of awareness and connection to God. True awareness of God, which leads to love and fear of God, can only be gained through Islam, as other religions have closed the door to direct revelation from God. Salvation from sin depends solely on achieving a perfect knowledge and awareness of God.
The document provides a summary of a Friday sermon delivered by Hadrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad in response to Pakistan's "White Paper" that claimed Ahmadiyyat was a threat to Islam. In the sermon, Mirza Tahir Ahmad recounts several prophetic dreams and heavenly signs that warned of future troubles, including a storm that damaged the mosque shortly after the sermon was delivered. He warns that those who oppose righteousness and persecute Ahmadis will meet a terrible end, while Ahmadiyyat has a bright future. The sermon strongly warns the enemies of truth and righteousness.
Nubuwwat and-khilafat
View point of the Ahmaddiya Muslim Jammat
Four Speaches diliver June 10, 1966 under the chairmanship of Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmed (RA)
The Holy Quran acknowledges that divine guidance has been given to all peoples throughout history, unlike other religions which claim truth as the monopoly of a single faith. Islam is unique in verifying the possibility of other religions receiving revelation from God. While other faiths emphasize their own truth to the exclusion of others, the Quran presents God as having blessed all nations with prophets and scriptures.
The document summarizes the persecution faced by Muslims in Mecca at the hands of the Quraish tribe for accepting Islam and following the Prophet Muhammad. As oppression increased, Muslims migrated to Medina but continued facing attacks by Meccan armies. Though outnumbered, Muslims defended themselves through God's help and later retook Mecca, at which point the Prophet forgave all opponents instead of avenging past wrongs, showing his compassionate nature.
- Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, the Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi, discusses the distinction between God's "creation" and "command."
- He explains that thoughts that arise from reflection and observation are God's creation, not His direct command. God produces things through physical means but attributes them to Himself as the ultimate cause.
- Direct command from God proceeds without the intervention of physical causes or means. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas urges opening one's heart to receive the descent of the Holy Spirit, which is never closed.
This document is an issue of the Review of Religions magazine from May 2014. It contains several articles related to the Arab world and Islam.
The main article provides extracts from the writings of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, on the Holy Prophet Muhammad and the Arab world. It highlights how the Prophet brought about a spiritual revolution in Arabia through his prayers and devotion to God. The article emphasizes the high spiritual status of the Prophet.
This article shares three "untold stories" from Ahmadi Muslim missionaries around the world:
1) A man named Ibrahim who was searching for Ahmadis rediscovered the community after seeing missionaries distributing flyers. His parents had taught him about Ahmadiyyat when he was younger.
2) A missionary named Shahrukh shared his experience distributing flyers to Hispanic communities in California, finding them very open to learning about Islam.
3) Azhar helped distribute flyers in Guatemala, where despite a language barrier they were able to revive two lost contacts with the community and two new people accepted Ahmadiyyat.

A Grave Threat to Islam
Replies to Some Allegations

An English translation of
the Friday sermon delivered by
Hadrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih IVrta
on February 15, 1985
at the Fadl Mosque, London
A perfect example of the cruel treatment of the
Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jama‘at by the government of
Pakistan is the White Paper. This document, published by
the government of Pakistan under the title
Qa diyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam, was written in
support of the Federal ordinance dated April 26, 1984.
By publishing the White Paper, this ‘Islamic Republic’
has set aside all Islamic values and has done away with
many basic human rights including religious social freedoms
of the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jama‘at. Using the
White Paper as a crutch, the government of Pakistan claims
that the beliefs of the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jama‘at compel
it to impose restrictions upon the Ahmadi Muslims.
As far as the allegations and accusations made in the
White Paper are concerned, they are a repetition of the
same baseless allegations and accusations that the
Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jama‘at has responded to in the past
on the basis of the Holy Qur’an and the Ahadith.
Since much of our literature is currently being confiscated
by the government of Pakistan, sincere seekers of
truth may have difficulty finding the answers. This series of Friday sermons present the response laid out by Hadrat
Mirza Tahir Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih IVrta, the then Imam
of the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jama‘at, to these allegations.
This response to the White Paper was first published in
Urdu in 1985. Its English translation is being published
now. This sermon was delivered on February 15, 1985 at
the Fadl Mosque, London, and deals with the true Islamic
concept of jihad.
The article discusses Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad's historic visit to New Zealand in October 2013. Some key points:
- He inaugurated a new mosque in Auckland and gave a speech in parliament, meeting many Ahmadi Muslims.
- He visited a sacred Maori complex and met the Maori King, presenting the first Maori translation of the Quran.
- The author recalls meeting the translator of the Quran into Maori in 2005 and the Ahmadiyya goal of spreading its message worldwide.
- The visit highlighted the community's efforts to translate the Quran into many languages to share its wisdom universally.

The article summarizes a document that contains the final Friday sermon delivered by Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, on the ongoing violence in the Israel-Palestine conflict in Gaza. In his sermon, he condemned the violence and cruelty against innocent Palestinians. He called on Muslim nations to unite and follow God's path to eliminate hatred and establish lasting peace. He also spoke about Lailatul Qadr, the Night of Decree during Ramadan when Muslims seek righteousness and worship.
This document contains summaries of articles from the November 2014 issue of The Review of Religions magazine focused on the Islamic pilgrimage of Hajj. It includes summaries of pieces on the institution and rites of Hajj, the philosophy behind pilgrimage in different faiths and the goal of universal brotherhood in Hajj. It also briefly profiles the founder of The Review of Religions magazine and his role in establishing the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
God's nature involves both transcendence and manifestation. His transcendence refers to attributes that are beyond human perception and comprehension. His manifestation involves attributes that are reflected in creation and that humans can relate to. While God's transcendence remains concealed in this life, He reveals Himself spiritually to humans through His attributes of manifestation when He chooses. God is both infinitely sublime and ultimately evident. His full revelation will come in the afterlife, when believers will see His holy countenance as clearly as the full moon.
The document provides biographical details about the Prophet Muhammad that highlight his exemplary character and humility. It describes how he lived in poverty despite having wealth and power, cared for the poor and destitute, and was deeply concerned with bettering mankind, not amassing worldly gains. The document aims to show non-Muslims that Muhammad was indeed the greatest man based on his selfless manners, ethics and concern for others above all worldly matters.

مارے آقا و مولیٰ حضرت محمد مصطفی ﷺ کو اللہ تعالیٰ نے قرآن کریم میں خاتم النبیین کے عظیم الشان لقب سے سرفراز فرمایا ہے ۔ جس کے معنی عربی زبان کے محاورہ کے مطابق سب سے افضل اور بزرگ ترین نبی کے ہیں ۔ جو نبیوں کامصدق اور زینت ہو اور جس کی کامل اتباع سے خادم اور امتی نبوت کا فیضان جاری ہو ۔ قرآن کریم کی متعدد آیات اور احادیث یہی مفہوم بیان کرتی ہیں ۔
عض لوگ حدیث ’لا نبی بعدی‘ کا قرآن کریم کے بالکل خلاف یہ ترجمہ کرتے ہیں کہ حضور ﷺ کے بعد کسی قسم کا نبی نہیں آسکتا۔
اس حدیث کا ترجمہ اور مفہوم صحابہ اور بزرگان امت کے مستند حوالوں کے ذریعے پیش کیا جارہا ہے ۔
خلافت کے بنیادی معنی جانشینی کے ہیں۔ اسلامی اصطلاح میں نبی کے جانشین کے لیے خلیفہ کا لفظ استعمال ہوتا ہے۔ اس کے علاوہ قرآن شریف میں اللہ تعالیٰ کے نبیوں حضرت آدمؑ اور حضرت داؤدؑ کے لیے بھی خلیفہ کا لفظ استعمال ہوا کیونکہ وہ الٰہی صفات اختیار کرنے کےلحاظ سے روئے زمین پر اللہ تعالیٰ کے مقررکردہ جانشین ہوتے ہیں جن کو خلافت، نبوت عطا کی جاتی ہے۔
مذہب اور نبوت و خلافت کا تصور لازم و ملزوم ہے۔ قرآن شریف میں اللہ تعالیٰ نے گذشتہ قوموں جیسی خلافت مسلمانوں کو بھی عطا کرنے کا وعدہ فرمایا بشرطیکہ وہ ایمان اور اعمال صالحہ بجالاتے رہیں۔ ف
Khatm e-nubuwwat ختم نبوت ۔ قرآنی آیات کی روشنی میںmuzaffertahir9
حضرت مرزا غلام احمد قادیانی مسیح موعود و مہدی و معہود ؑ، بانی جماعت احمدیہ فرماتے ہیں’’مجھ پر اور میری جماعت پر جو یہ الزام لگایا جاتا ہے کہ ہم رسول اللہ ﷺ کو خاتم النبییّن نہیں مانتے یہ ہم پر افترائے عظیم ہے۔ ہم جس قوّت ،یقین ، معرفت اور بصیرت سے آنحضرت ﷺ کو خاتم الانبیاء یقین کرتے ہیں اس کا لاکھواں حصہ بھی دوسرے لوگ نہیں مانتے اور ان کا ایسا ظرف بھی نہیں ہے۔ وہ اس حقیقت اور راز کو جو خاتم الانبیاء کی ختمِ نبوّت میں ہے سمجھتے ہی نہیں ہیں ، انہوں نے صرف باپ دادا سے ایک لفظ سنا ہوا ہے مگر اس کی حقیقت سے بے خبر ہیں اور نہیں جانتے کہ ختم نبوّت کیا ہوتا ہے اور اس پر ایمان لانے کا مفہوم کیا ہے ؟ مگر ہم بصیرتِ تامّ سے (جس کو اللہ تعالیٰ بہتر جانتا ہے ) آنحضرت ﷺ کو خاتم الانبیاء یقین کرتے ہیں اور خدا تعالیٰ نے ہم پر ختمِ نبوّت کی حقیقت کو ایسے طور پر کھول دیا ہے کہ اس عرفان کے شربت سے جو ہمیں پلایا گیا ہے ایک خاص لذّت پاتے ہیں جس کا اندازہ کوئی نہیں کر سکتا بجز ان لوگوں کے جو اِس چشمہ سے سیراب ہوں۔ ‘‘ (ملفوظات۔ جلد اول ۔صفحہ ۳۴۲)
جماعت احمدیہ مسلمہ کے خلاف نشر ہونے والے دو پروگرامز پر تبصرہmuzaffertahir9
کچھ روز قبل میڈیا پر یہ خبر نشر ہوئی کہ کابینہ کے اجلاس میں یہ فیصلہ ہوا ہے کہ پاکستان میں اقلیتوں کا ایک قومی کمیشن بنایا جائے اور احمدیوں کو بھی اس کمیشن میں نمائندگی دی جائے۔ اس خبر کا ایک نمایاں پہلو یہ تھا کہ اس سلسلہ میں احمدیوں کی طرف سے کوئی مطالبہ نہیں کیا گیا تھا کہ انہیں اس کمیشن میں شامل کیا جائے۔ جماعت احمدیہ کا موقف اس حوالے سے بڑا واضح ہے اور سینکڑوں مرتبہ بیان کیا جا چکا ہے۔
یہ قدم خود ذمہ دار افراد اور کابینہ کے بعض اراکین کی طرف سے اُٹھایا گیا تھا۔ لیکن یہ خبر نشر ہونے کی دیر تھی کہ پورے ملک میں ایک ناقابل فہم شور شرابے کا آغاز ہو گیا۔ پہلے تو وزیر برائے مذہبی امور پیرنورالحق قادری صاحب نے بیان دیا کہ اس پر بحث ہوئی تھی لیکن ابھی کوئی فیصلہ نہیں ہوا۔ آئین پاکستان کے مطابق قادیانی غیر مسلم ہیں۔ پھر چودھری شجاعت حسین صاحب، سپیکر پنجاب اسمبلی پرویز الٰہی صاحب، اور وفاقی وزیر طارق بشیر چیمہ صاحب نے کہا کہ خواہ مخواہ پنڈورا بکس کھول دیا گیا ہے۔ پھر وفاقی وزیرعلی محمد خان صاحب کی طرف سے ایک مختلف بیانیہ سامنے آیا۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ عمران خان صاحب نے تو اس تجویزکی مخالفت کی تھی اور کہا تھا کہ جب تک قادیانی اپنے آپ کو غیر مسلم نہیں سمجھتے اس وقت تک وہ کسی کمیشن کا رکن نہیں بن سکتے۔ اس کے بعد مختلف چینلز نے اس بارے میں پروگرام کرنے شروع کیے۔ اور حسب سابق ان پروگراموں میں کوئی ٹھوس علمی یا قانونی بات کرنے کی بجائے مختلف سیاسی پارٹیوں کے نمائندوں کو بلا کر انہیں اسی طرح لڑایا گیا جس طرح کسی زمانے میں پنجاب کے دیہات میں مرغوں کی لڑائی کے مقابلے کرائے جاتے تھے۔ اس مضمون میں اس بارے میں صرف اُن دو پراگراموں پر تبصرہ کیا جائے گا جو ندیم ملک لائیو کے نام سے سماء نام کے چینل پر5 ؍اور6؍مئی 2020ء کو نشر ہوئے۔ان دو پروگراموں کے میزبان ندیم ملک صاحب تھے اورتحریک انصاف کے صداقت عباسی صاحب، وفاقی وزیرعلی محمد خان صاحب، پیپلز پارٹی کی پلوشہ صاحبہ، اورمسلم لیگ ن کے طلال چودھری صاحب ان پروگراموں میں شامل ہوئے۔تفصیلات بیان کرنے سے پہلے یہ وضاحت ضروری ہے کہ اس مضمون کا مقصد کسی سیاسی بحث میں الجھنا یا کسی سیاسی جماعت پر تنقید کرنا نہیں ہے۔ لیکن جماعت احمدیہ کے خلاف چلائی جانے والی مہم پاکستان کو شدید نقصان پہنچا رہی ہے۔ اس مضمون میں صرف ان امور کی نشاندہی کی جائے گی۔
حضرت مسیح موعود علیہ السلام کی بعثت کی اغراضmuzaffertahir9
امّتِ محمدیہ کے کئی بزرگوں ( جیسا کہ حضرت شاہ عبد العزیز ؒ،صوفی بزرگ شیخ عبد العزیز ،مشہور صوفی و ادیب خواجہ حسن نظامی ،حضرت شاہ محمد حسین صابری ) نے امام مہدی کے ظہور کے زمانہ کا تعین بھی کردیا تھا جو کہ چودھویں صدی کا ابتدائی حصہ بنتا ہے۔ یہی وجہ ہے کہ وہ تمام علامات اور نشانیاں جو امام مہدی کے دعویٰ سے قبل پوری ہونی تھیں، پوری ہو گئیں اور ہر طرف بڑی شدت سے ایک مسیح اور مہدی کا انتظار ہو رہا تھا۔ عوام سے لے کر علماء تک سبھی، خواہ ان کا تعلق کسی بھی مکتبِ فکر سے ہو، بلاتفریق امت محمدیہ کے مرثیہ خواں نظر آتے تھے۔ خاص طور پر احادیث مبارکہ میں جو نقشہ آنحضرت ﷺنے امتِ محمدیہ کا کھینچا وہ من وعن پورا ہو رہا تھا۔ مسلمان زوال کا شکار ہو رہے تھے ،ہزاروں مسلمان عیسائی ہو رہے تھے اور اسلام مختلف فرقوں میں بٹ چکا تھا۔مسجدیں دھرم شالہ بنا دی گئی تھیں۔ایسے حالات میں خدا تعا لیٰ نے دنیا کے سامنے ہندوستان کی ایک گمنام بستی قا دیا ن سے ایک جوا ں مرد کو کھڑا کیا جوہر یک رنگ میں سرکارِ دوعالم ﷺکی پیشگو ئیو ں کا مصدا ق تھا۔
یہ مبارک ہستی حضرت مرزا غلام احمد علیہ السلام ہیں۔
حضرت مسیح موعود علیہ الصلوٰۃ والسلام اپنی بعثت کی غرض یوں بیان کرتے ہوئے فرماتے ہیں ک
‘‘ مجھے بھیجا گیا ہے تاکہ میں آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی کھوئی ہو ئی عظمت کو پھر قائم کروں اور قرآن شریف کی سچائیوں کو دنیا کو دکھائوں اور یہ سب کام ہو رہا ہے لیکن جن کی آنکھوں پر پٹی ہے وہ اس کو دیکھ نہیں سکتے حالانکہ اب یہ سلسلہ سورج کی طرح روشن ہو گیا ہے اور اس کی آیات و نشانات کے اس قدر لوگ گواہ ہیں کہ اگر اُن کو ایک جگہ جمع کیا جائے تو اُن کی تعداد اِس قدر ہو کہ رُوئے زمین پر کسی بادشاہ کی بھی اتنی فوج نہیں ہے۔
اس قدر صورتیں اس سلسلہ کی سچائی کی موجود ہیں کہ ان سب کو بیان کرنا بھی آسان نہیں۔چونکہ اسلام کی سخت توہین کی گئی تھی اس لیے اللہ تعالیٰ نے اسی توہین کے لحاظ سے اس سلسلہ کی عظمت کو دکھایا ہے۔’’
شمائلِ مہدی علیہ الصلوٰۃ والسلام آپؑ کی دعاؤں کا بیانmuzaffertahir9
‘‘دنیا میں دعا جیسی کوئی چیز نہیں الدُّعَاءُ مُخُّ العِبَادَةِیہ عاجز اپنی زندگی کا مقصد اعلیٰ یہی سمجھتا ہے کہ اپنے لئے اور اپنے عزیزوں اور دوستوں کیلئے ایسی دعائیں کرنے کا وقت پاتا رہے کہ جو رب العرش تک پہنچ جائیں ۔اور دل تو ہمیشہ تڑپتا ہے کہ ایسا وقت ہمیشہ میسر آجایا کرے …
‘‘اے ربّ العالمین ! تیرے احسانوں کا میں شکر نہیں کرسکتا تو نہایت ہی رحیم وکریم ہے اور تیرے بےغایت مجھ پر احسان ہیں ۔میرے گناہ بخش تا میں ہلاک نہ ہو جاؤں ۔میرے دل میں اپنی خالص محبّت ڈال تا مجھے زندگی حاصل ہو اور میری پردہ پوشی فرما ۔اور مجھ سے ایسے عمل کرا جن سے تو راضی ہوجائے۔میں تیری وَجْہِ کَرِیْم کے ساتھ اس بات سے پناہ مانگتا ہوں کہ تیرا غضب مجھ پر وارد ہو۔رحم فرما ۔اور دنیا اور آخرت کی بلاؤں سے مجھے بچاکہ ہر ایک فضل و کرم تیرے ہی ہاتھ میں ہے۔آمین ۔ثمّ آمین’’
بلادِ عرب پر آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ کے احسانات کاتذکرہmuzaffertahir9
حضورﷺ عرب کی ایک بستی مکہ میں پیدا ہوئے جہاں کے اکثر لوگ سخت مزاج اوروحشی صفت تھے۔ وہ کسی کی اطاعت قبول نہیں کرتے تھے۔ وہاں کی زمین سنگلاخ تھی اورلوگوں کے دل پتھر تھے۔شراب خوری اور زناکاری اس سرزمین کا دستور تھا۔ گویا کہ ضلالت کا ٹھاٹھیں مارتا ہواسمندر
تھا۔مگر یہ حلقہ ظلمت کدہ پھر نورِمحمدﷺ سے مستفیض ہوااورجہاں جہاں بادسموم کا تصور تھا وہاں رقص بہاراں کےجشن میں راحت آمیز ہوائیں اٹھکیلیاں کرنے لگیں۔
ہر دائرۂ حیات میں امن صرف خلافتِ احمدیہ کی بدولت ممکن ہےmuzaffertahir9
خلافت ایک ایسی حقیقت ہے جو اقوامِ عالم کو مساوات اور جمہوریت کی فلسفیانہ بحثوں سے نکال کر انتخاب کے میدان میں لا کھڑا کرتی ہے ۔ پھر تائید الٰہی اور نصرتِ خداوندی منتخب فرد کو اپنے حصار میں لے کر خلیفۃ اللہ اور ہر صاحب ایمان کا محبوب،آقا و مطاع بنا دیتی ہے ۔
تم میں سے جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور نیک اعمال بجا لائے اُن سے اللہ نے پختہ وعدہ کیا ہے کہ انہیں ضرور زمین میں خلیفہ بنائے گا جیسا کہ اُس نے اُن سے پہلے لوگوں کو خلیفہ بنایا اور اُن کے لیے اُن کے دین کو، جو اُس نے اُن کے لیے پسند کیا، ضرور تمکنت عطا کرے گا اور اُن کی خوف کی حالت کے بعد ضرور اُنہیں امن کی حالت میں بدل دے گا۔ وہ میری عبادت کریں گے۔ میرے ساتھ کسی کو شریک نہیں ٹھہرائیں گے اور جو اس کے بعدبھی ناشکری کرے تو یہی وہ لوگ ہیں جو نافرمان ہیں۔
توہین رسالت کی سزا (قرآن و سنت کی روشنی میں) muzaffertahir9
اللہ تعالیٰ نے جس طرح اپنی توہین کی سزاکا اختیار کئی مصالح کے باعث اس دنیا میں کسی انسان کو نہیں دیا اسی طرح اپنے رسول کی توہین کی سزا کا معاملہ بھی اپنے ہاتھ میں رکھا ہے
تعزیرات پاکستان کے مطابق نبی کریم ؐکی شان میں گستاخی اور توہین رسالت کی سزا عمر قید یا موت ہوسکتی تھی۔ 1992ء میں شرعی عدالت کے اس فیصلہ کی بنا پر کہ توہینِ رسالت کی سزا صرف موت ہی ہوسکتی ہے عمر قید کے الفاظ دفعہ 295Cسے حذف کر دیے گئے اور موجودہ ملکی قانون کے مطابق توہین رسالت کی سزا صرف موت ہے۔
دیگر قوانین کی طرح اس قانون کا مقصد بھی مفاد عامہ اور قیام امن ہی بتایا گیا تھا مگرگذشتہ سالوں کے تلخ تجربات کے بعد ہمیں افسوس سے کہنا پڑتا ہے کہ نہ صرف یہ کہ اس قانون سے مطلوبہ مقاصد حاصل نہیں ہوئے بلکہ الٹا اس قانون کو فتنہ ، فساد اورظلم کا ذریعہ بنایا گیاہے۔ بالخصوص کمزور اور اقلیتی گروہ اس کی زد میں آئے اور ذاتی عناد کی بنا پر توہین رسالت کے نام پر جھوٹے مقدمات درج کروانے کا ایسا سلسلہ شروع ہوا کہ حکومت بھی یہ سوچنے پر مجبور ہوگئی کہ یہ رجحان روکنے کے لیے ایک اَور قانون متعارف کروانے کی ضرورت ہے جس کے مطابق ہر غلط مقدمہ درج کروانے والے پر بھی گرفت کی جاسکے ۔ یہ تو اندرونی ملکی صورتِ حال ہے۔
ہمارے آقا و مولا سید الرسل جناب حضرت اقدس محمد مصطفیٰﷺ کو خدا تعالیٰ نے رحمۃ للعالمین بنا کر مبعوث فرمایا۔ آپ ﷺ کی رحمت کا دائرہ محض انسانیت تک ہی محدود نہ تھا بلکہ جیسا کہ عربی زبان کے لفظ عَالَمسے ظاہر ہے یہ رحمت وسیع تھی اور ہر قسم کا جاندار، چرند پرند اس دائرہ ٔرحمت میں شامل تھا۔
لیکن افسوس کے وہ نبی جو رحمت بنا کر بھیجا گیااس کی ذاتِ اطہر پر جو اعتراضات کیے جاتے ہیں ان میں سے بار بار دہرایا جانے والا ایک اعتراض یہ ہے کہ آپ ﷺ نے نعوذ باللہ دنیا میں بد امنی، فساد اورقتل و غارت پھیلائی اور مخالفین پر تلوار اٹھائی جس سے خون کی ندیاں بہ نکلیں۔
لیکن اگر ہم قرآن کریم ، احادیث اور تاریخ کا صحیح رنگ میں مطالعہ کریں نیز اُس علم الکلام سے مستفیض ہوں جو اس زمانہ میں آنحضرت ﷺ کے غلام صادق حضرت اقدس مسیح موعود علیہ السلام نے ہمیں عطا فرمایا تو ہمیں اس کے بر عکس ایک ایسے نبیؐ کی تصویر دیکھنے کو ملتی ہے جو نہ صرف اپنوں بلکہ پہلے اور آئندہ آنے والوں کے لیے بھی سراپا سلامتی و رحمت تھا۔ یہی وجہ ہے کہ عرش کا خدا اور اس کے فرشتے اس پاک نبی پر درود بھیجتے ہیں۔ اورتا قیامت مومنین کو یہ تاکید کی گئی کہ وہ بھی اس رسول مقبولﷺ پر درود بھیجتے رہیں۔
Religious Torrance of Hazrat Muhammad PBU- رسول اللہ ﷺ کی مذہبی رواداریmuzaffertahir9
مذہبی رواداری یہ ہے کہ اختلاف مذہب و رائے کے باوجوددوسروںکےلیےبرداشت کا نمونہ دکھانا، ان کے مذہبی عقائدو اقدار کالحاظ رکھنا، تحقیر کارویہ اختیار نہ کرنا اور نہ ہی ان کے جذبات کو ٹھیس پہنچانا۔اسی طرح دوسرے مذاہب کے لوگوں کے ساتھ اعلیٰ انسانی برتاؤکامفہوم بھی مذہبی رواداری میں شامل ہے۔
دیگر مذاہب میں مذہبی رواداری کا تصور اسلام کےبالمقابل تقریباً ناپید ہے۔ چنانچہ بائبل میں استثناء باب7آیات1تا6میں اس بات کا ذکر ملتاہے کہ جب یہود کسی قوم پر فتح حاصل کریں تو مفتوح قوم کوبالکل نابودکردیں، اُن کے ساتھ کوئی عہد نہ کریں اورنہ ہی اُن پررحم کریں۔اسی طرح اُن سے رشتہ کرنے کی ممانعت ہے اور ان کی عبادت گاہوں کو ڈھا دینے کاحکم ہے۔
اس کے با لمقابل اسلام رواداری ،امن اور احترام انسانیت کامذہب ہے۔ اسلامی شریعت کے مطابق اسلامی معاشرے کا ہر فرد بلاتفریق رنگ و نسل، مذہب و ملّت انسانی مساوات اور بنیادی انسانی حقوق میں یکساں حیثیت کا حامل ہے۔
اسلامی ریاست کے تمام باشندے خواہ وہ کسی بھی مذہب کے پیروکار ہوں ،بلاتفریق عقیدہ اپنے مذہبی معاملات میں مکمل طورپر آزاد ہیں اوران کےمذہبی معاملات کے بارہ میں ان پر کسی قسم کا کوئی جبر نہیں۔

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Born in 1835 in Qadian (India), Hadrat Mirza Ghulam
Ahmad, the Promised Messiah and Mahdias
, remained
dedicated to the study of the Holy Quran and to a life
of prayer and devotion. Finding Islam the target of
foul attacks from all directions, the fortunes of
Muslims at a low ebb, faith yielding to doubt and
religion only skin-deep, he undertook vindication and
exposition of Islam. In his vast corpus of writings
(including his epoch-making 'Brahin-e-Ahmadiyyah'),
his lectures, discourses, religious debates etc., he
argued that Islam was a living faith and the only faith
by following which man could establish contact with
his Creator and enter into communion with Him. The
teachings contained in the Holy Quran and the Law
promulgated by Islam were designed to raise man to
moral, intellectual and spiritual perfection. He
announced that God had appointed him the Messiah
and Mahdi as mentioned in the prophecies of the
Bible, the Holy Quran and Ahadith. In 1889 he began
to accept initiation into his Community which is now
established in one hundred and seventy-six countries.
His eighty books are written mostly in Urdu, but
some are in Arabic and Persian.

Mahmood Ahmadra
, who was also the Promised
Messiah’sas

Hadrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmadra
remained in office for nearly fifty two years. He died
in 1965 and was succeeded by his eldest son, Hadrat
Hafiz Mirza Nasir Ahmadrh
, the Promised grandson of
the Promised Messiahas
. After seventeen years of
meritorious services he passed away in 1982. He was
succeeded by his younger brother, Hadrat Mirza Tahir
Ahmadrh
as Khalifatul Masih IV who, having led the
Community to its present strength and global
recognition, passed away on the 19th
April 2003.
Hadrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad Khalifatul Masih Vat

Foreword
Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah is an unfinished book of the
Promised Messiahas
, written in 1906 and published
posthumously in 1922.
The book covers important subjects of Divine
knowledge and spiritual insight. It opens with an
account of the precision with which the Promised
Messiah’s prophecies regarding earthquakes had been
fulfilled, and foretells the coming of five more terrible
catastrophes. In this context, Huduras
also explains the
philosophy behind Divine chastisement.
The difference between Divine and Satanic
dreams, an account of the fulfilment of the prophecy
regarding ‘Abdullah Atham, and a profound prophecy
about global acceptance and victory of Ahmadiyyat—
the true Islam—are but a few of the many singular
themes discussed in this book.
The original English translation, which was done
by Mr. Mubarak Ahmad Nazir (Canada), has gone
through several revisions. For these we are indebted
to Mr. Malik Mahmood Ahmad (Islamabad), Mr.
Munawwar Ahmad Saeed (USA) and Ms. Uzma
Aftab (Lahore). I am also very grateful to Mr. Ata-ul-
Mannan Raja and Mr. Tahir Mahmood Mubashar of
Wakalat Tasnif, who very ably assisted me in the

whole project. Last but not least, we are grateful to
Maulana Munir-ud-Din Shams, Additional Wakilut
Tasnif, London, for his kind help and suggestions.
Mirza Anas Ahmad M.A., M.Litt. (OXON) Wakilul
Isha‘at, Tahrik-e-Jadid, pointed out to me mistakes in
the final revised draft of the English translation, so
the final revision was done by me. He also found the
references of Ahadith mentioned in the book. I am
very grateful to him, and his team, especially Shaikh
Naseer Ahmad who did most of the work of
formatting and desktop publishing and Shahid
Mahmood Ahmad, Sayyed Mansoor Ahmad Bashir
who did the final proof reading of the manuscript.
May Allah reward them all.

Publisher's Note
We feel honoured to publish Divine Manifestations,
the English translation of Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
written in Urdu in 1906 by the Promised Messiahas
,
Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and posthumously
published in 1922. This is the first edition of English
translation. The following features of this edition
should be kept in mind.
This is the translation from the first Urdu edition
of the book.
The way the Promised Messiahas
has paragraphed
the book is not followed: paragraphs are given
according to the modern standard practice.
The references of Ahadith quoted by the Promised
Messiahas
are supplied as footnotes. They are marked
with asterisk *. On page 9, the Promised Messiahas
has made a reference to the Holy Quran without
giving the verse: we have given the chapter and verse
reference in the footnote marked with asterisk *.
The words in the text in normal brackets ( ) and in
between the long dashes — are the words of the
Promised Messiahas
and if any explanatory words or
phrases are added by the translator for the purpose of
clarification, they are put in square brackets [ ].
The name of Muhammadsa
, the Holy Prophet of
Islam, has been followed by the symbol sa
, which is
an abbreviation for the salutation Sallallahu ‘Alaihi
10. x
Wasallam (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him). The names of other Prophets and Messengers
are followed by the symbol as
, an abbreviation for
‘Alaihissalam (on whom be peace). The actual
salutations have not generally been set out in full, but
they should nevertheless, be understood as being
repeated in full in each case. The symbol ra
is used
with the name of the Companions of the Holy
Prophetsa
and those of the Promised Messiahas
. It
stands for Radi Allahu ‘anhu/‘anha/‘anhum (May
Allah be pleased with him/with her/with them). rh
stands for Rahimahullahu Ta‘ala (may Allah have
mercy on him). at
stands for Ayyadahullahu Ta‘ala
(May Allah, the Mighty help him).
In transliterating Arabic words we have followed
the following system adopted by the Royal Asiatic
Society.
ا at the beginning of a word, pronounced as a, i,
u preceded by a very slight aspiration, like h in
the English word 'honour'.
ث th, pronounced like th in the English word
'thing'.

“A Warner came unto the world, but the world accepted him not, but
God will accept him and establish his truth by mighty assaults.”
The Prophecy of the Almighty God Regarding the Coming of Five
Earthquakes
The Words of Which are
“Five times shall I show you
the dazzling manifestation of
this Sign.”
The meaning of this Divine revelation is that God
Almighty says that, in order to bear witness to the
truth of my claim, and so that people may realize that
I am from Him, God Almighty will cause five
terrifying earthquakes to appear, one following the
other, at short intervals. They will bear witness to the
truth of my claim, and each of them will display such
radiance that the beholder will at once be reminded of
God. Such a terrifying effect will they have on

people’s hearts, and so extraordinary will be their
power, intensity and devastation, that people
beholding them will lose their very senses. All this
will be the result of Divine jealousy, for people did
not recognize the Hour. God says, I was hidden but
now I shall make Myself known, and I shall display
My Brilliance and liberate My servants, just as Moses
and his people were liberated from the hands of
Pharaoh. These miracles shall be manifested in the
same way as those displayed by Moses in the
presence of Pharaoh. And God says that He shall
make a clear distinction between the truthful and the
liar, and He shall support the one who is from Him
and oppose anyone who opposes His chosen one.3
So O ye who hear, if these prophecies come to be
fulfilled in just an ordinary way, then know that I am
not from God, but if these prophecies do create a
panic in the world at the time of their fulfilment, and
their severity leads people to the verge of insanity,
and there is widespread loss of life and property, then
fear God Who made all this happen for my sake. How

can man run away from God Who has control over
every speck and particle? He says that He will close
in stealthily, like thieves do, meaning thereby that no
astrologer, seer or dreamer will have any knowledge
of the exact time of the occurrence of these
happenings, except to the extent to which He has
conveyed it to His Promised Messiah or may later
augment thereon.
There will be a change in the world after these
signs and many hearts shall be drawn towards God. In
many blessed hearts the love of the world shall grow
cold, and veils of indifference shall be lifted, and they
shall be made to drink the elixir of True Islam. As
God Himself has said:

'Khosrau’s era' refers to the era of the Call of this
humble one. But it does not suggest earthly kingdom,
rather it signifies the heavenly kingdom which I have
been given. What this revelation briefly means is that
in the era of Khosrau, i.e., the era of the Messiah—
which in God’s sight is called a Heavenly kingdom—

name only, will become true Muslims. [Translator]
16. 4 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
began at the end of the sixth millennium, as
prophesised by God’s holy Messengersas
. The result
was that those who were Muslims only in name
started becoming true Muslims, as nearly four
hundred thousand have already done. I am much
gratified that at my hand almost four hundred
thousand have repented of their sins and they include
many Hindus as well as English people. Only
yesterday, in fact, a Hindu was initiated as a Muslim
at my hand and was given the name Muhammad
Iqbal. Yesterday, when I was repeatedly reciting the
above Divine Revelation, my spirit was all of a
sudden imbibed with the following words which are a
sequel to the above revelation:

Likewise, in the following revelation, I was given the
glad tidings of the spread of Islam through me. God
addressed me saying:
that is, 'O Moon and O Sun! You are of Me and I am
of you.' In this Divine Revelation, God has first called
5

me the moon and given Himself the title of the Sun.
This means that just as the moon receives its glow
through the bounty and benevolence of the sun, so is
my light a result of the bounty and beneficence of
God. Then God has called Himself the Moon and
named me the sun. This indicates that He will
manifest His glorious light through me. He was
hidden, but shall now be manifested through me. The
world was unaware of His radiance, but now, through
me, His awe-inspiring light will spread all over the
world. Just as a bolt of lightning illuminates the
whole sky in a flash, so shall all this come to pass in
this age.
God addresses me and says, 'For your sake I
descended upon the earth, and for you did My name
shine, and I have selected you out of the whole
world.' And He says:
that is, 'Your God says that such powerful miracles
will descend from the heavens that you shall be
pleased.' Out of these, an epidemic of the plague and
two powerful earthquakes—of which I had foretold in
accordance with Divine revelation—have already
appeared in this country. But now, God says that five
more earthquakes are to appear. The world shall see
18. 6 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
their extraordinary radiance and shall know as a
certainty that they are the signs which have appeared
in support of His servant, the Promised Messiah. It is
unfortunate indeed that the astrologers and fortune-
tellers of this age contend with me in matters of
prophecies just as the magicians had confronted
Prophet Mosesas
. Some ignorant claimants to
revelation, who lie in pits of darkness, contest with
me like Bal‘am, abandoning the truth and abetting the
misguided. But God says that He will put all of them
to shame and shall never grant this distinction to
anyone else. Now is the time for them all to confront
me with their horoscopes or their revelations. And if
they now spare me any of their onslaughts, they shall
surely be the losers. God says: 'I shall defeat them all
and shall become the enemy of thy enemies.' He says,
'I have chosen thee for the manifestation of My
mysteries, and the earth and the heavens are with you
just as they are with Me. You are to Me as is My
throne.' In support of [this revelation], there is the
following verse in the Holy Quran which
distinguishes God’s chosen Prophetsas
from others:
6

19. Divine Manifestations 7
That is, crystal clear knowledge of the unseen is only
revealed to His chosen Messenger. No one else has
any share in it.
Hence, members of our Community should not
stumble, nor should they give any credence to my
opponents and to those who have not been initiated at
my hand, or else they will come under Divine wrath.
Whenever some foul-mouthed person makes a false
prophecy, God puts to test the truly faithful ones to
see whether they give such a person the respect and
regard which should be given only to God and to His
Messenger. He watches whether or not they are firmly
established upon the truth which they have been
given.
Remember, when these five earthquakes will have
passed, and the destruction which God has willed
shall have taken place, His mercy shall once again
surge forth and, for a time, extraordinary and fearful
earthquakes shall cease. The epidemic of the plague
too shall disappear from the land, just as God
addressed me and said:
That is, a time will eventually come upon this Hell—
the hell of plagues and earthquakes—when none shall
be left in it, meaning, [none shall remain in hell] in
20. 8 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
this country. And just as it happened at the time of
Noahas
that a period of calm was granted after many
people had been killed, the same shall happen now.
Following this revelation, God says:
That is, that people’s supplications will then be heard,
rains shall come on time and the orchards and fields
shall bear fruit in abundance. A period of joy shall
begin and extraordinary calamities shall recede, lest
people should think that God is only the Avenger
(Qahhar) and not Merciful (Rahim) and consider His
Messiah to be ill-omened.7
Remember, it was necessary for large number of
people to die at the time of the Messiah and it was
also destined that plagues and earthquakes should
strike. This is the meaning of the Hadith wherein it is
written that people would perish with the breath of the
7
It has been destined from the very beginning that the Promised
Messiah would first appear in an awe-striking form, and, as far as his
eyes would see, people would perish with his breath. This means
that that will not be the time for Jihad or fighting with the sword. It
will be the spiritual attention of the Messiah which will work like a
sword, and awe-inspiring signs like plagues, earthquakes and other
calamities shall descend from heaven. Then God’s Messiah shall
look upon mankind with compassion, and the heavens too shall
show signs of compassion, and people shall be blessed with long
lives and abundant provisions shall come out of the earth. [Author]

Messiah, and his killing breath would work as far as
his eyes would see*
. It is wrong to infer from this
Hadith that the Messiah would be a witch that would
remove people’s hearts just by looking at them. What
it really means is that wherever his pure breath—i.e.
his teachings—would spread in the world, people
would deny him, reject him and abuse him; so much
so, that their rejection shall become a cause of
chastisement for them.8
This Hadith indicates that the
Promised Messiah will be vehemently opposed, with
the result that a great many people shall die in the
*
See Sahih Muslim, Kitabul Fitan, Babu Dhikril Dajjal. [Publisher]

This Hadith, too, proves that, at the time of the Messiah, the
injunction regarding Jihad shall be suspended, in accordance with
one of the characteristics of the Promised Messiah recorded in Sahih
Bukhari is *
i.e., when the Promised Messiah comes, he shall
put an end to war and Jihad. The underlying wisdom of this saying is
that since the mere spiritual attention of the Messiah will be
sufficient to trigger wrathful signs and hundreds of thousands shall
die in plagues and earthquakes, it will not be necessary to destroy
anyone with the sword. And God is far too Compassionate to inflict
two terrible signs upon a people at the same time, i.e., the vengeance
of God coupled with the destruction unleashed by people through the
sword. God Almighty has clearly stated in the Holy Quran that these
two punishments cannot come together at the same time.**

land, the most severe earthquakes shall take place and
peace shall disappear altogether. It would otherwise
be irrational to think that pious and righteous people
should be subjected to various punishments without
any reason. This is the reason why, even in the past,
ignorant people have considered Prophetsas
to be
bearers of misfortune and have blamed them for what
were actually the consequences of their own
misdeeds. The fact, however, is that it is not the
Prophet who brings punishment; rather it is the fact
that people have become deserving of punishment
that brings a Prophet as a final warning and produces
the necessity for his advent. Severe punishment never
takes place without the advent of a Prophet, as God
says in the Holy Quran:
9
Why then is it that the epidemic of the plague is
devouring the country on the one hand, and terrifying
earthquakes are giving no respite on the other? O
heedless ones, look around! May be a Prophet has
been established by God and it is him you have
rejected.10

In the context of the present age, God only uses the world Nabi

Hijri century. Why, without the advent of a Prophet,
are you being afflicted with this calamity which takes
away your friends and loved ones each year and
brings sorrow to your hearts? There must be a reason,
why do you not look for it? And why do you not
reflect upon the verse which I have quoted above, in
which God Almighty says:
11
That is, We never send an extraordinary punishment
upon a people until We have sent a Messenger to
fully convey Our message.
Just consider this: Is it not an extraordinary
calamity with which you have been afflicted for some
years now? The afflictions which you witness today
are such as your forefathers could never have
imagined and are beyond anything this land has seen
for thousands of years. The plague and the earthquake
which you see today, I have been seeing them in the
Him and is entrusted with the revival of religion. Not that such a
person will introduce any new Shariah, because the Shariah
culminated with the Holy Prophetsa
, and, after the Holy Prophetsa
,
the word Nabi cannot be used for any person unless he is also called
Ummati [the follower of the Holy Prophetsa
], which means that
everything he has been blessed with is through his obedience to the
Holy Prophetsa
and not directly. [Author]

for the past twenty-five years. If God
did not give me news of these calamities beforehand,
then I am false. But if these predictions have been
recorded in my books for the last twenty-five years,
and I have continually warned you about them,13
then
you should beware of coming under Divine censure.
You have already heard that, one year before it
happened, I had published in the newspapers the
prophecy regarding the earthquake which took place
on 4 April 1905. That prophecy contained not only
the words:
14
but also the Revelation:
Which means that in some parts of the Punjab
buildings would collapse and disappear. I need not
dwell on how very clearly this prophecy came to be
fulfilled.
Then, in the same month of April, I published
12

experienced in a state of wakefulness. [Translator]

The prophecies regarding these appalling earthquakes were
published in my book Brahin-e-Ahmadiyyah twenty-five years
ago. [Author]

'Jolt of earthquake.' [Translator]
25. Divine Manifestations 13
another prophecy which God had revealed to me, that
just as the earthquake of 4th
April 1905 struck in
spring, the other earthquake would also strike in
spring and not before. That earthquake, therefore,
cannot strike earlier than 25 February 1906.15
Hence, no earthquake took place in the next
eleven months. But when the date of 25 February
1906 had passed, such a severe earthquake struck at
1:00 a. m. on the night of 27th
February 1906—right
in Spring—that even the English newspapers like The
Civil and Military Gazette conceded that it was equal
in intensity to the earthquake of 4 April 1905. There
was great loss of life and property in Rampur city,
Simla and in many other places. It was the same
earthquake about which, eleven months ago, I had
been granted knowledge through this Divine
Revelation:
16
The earthquake, accordingly, struck in spring. Reflect
upon this! Is there anyone besides God who can make
these predictions with such precision? I did not
possess any power over the earth’s layers that I could

hold them for eleven months and then give them a
powerful jolt just after 25 February 1906.
So my dear ones, now that you have witnessed
these two earthquakes, it should be easy for you to
understand that my prediction about the next five
earthquakes is also no idle talk. You can also
appreciate that just as it seemed impossible for people
to believe that no earthquake, equalling the magnitude
of the April earthquake, would strike the land for the
succeeding eleven months, and one earthquake would
strike exactly in spring, after 25th
February 1906; in
the same way, it now seems beyond the power of man
to believe that five powerful earthquakes are to
follow, through which God shall display the dazzling
glow of His countenance in such a way that those
who do not believe in His existence will be forced to
confess that He does indeed exist. After that, there
will be peace and the world will return to normality.
Then, for a long time, there will be no such
earthquakes.
You can well understand that no authority in the
science of seismology could make such clear and
precise predictions. But God, Who is Master of the
heavens and earth, reveals the unknown to none but
His chosen Messengers, so that people may be saved
27. Divine Manifestations 15
from denial and disbelief, and so that they may
believe and be saved from the torment of hell. I
present the heaven and earth as my witness that this
day I have clearly informed you of the prophecy
regarding the five earthquakes. This should serve as
proof that you were properly warned, and so that
death should not strike you while you are astray.
O dear ones, do not fight God, for you can never
win this battle. God does not, and never has, sent
down such severe punishment upon a people without
first sending His Messenger to them, that is to say,
until a Messenger who has been sent by Him has
appeared among them. Hence, make use of this age-
old law of God. Look for the person for whom, right
before your eyes, the sun and moon were eclipsed in
the month of Ramadan, the plague spread upon the
earth and earthquakes struck. Who was it that
conveyed the prophecies to you before their time, and
who was it that claimed, 'I am the Promised Messiah.'
Find that person, for he is present among you, and he
is none other than the one who now speaks to you.

And despair not of the mercy of Allah; for none despair of Allah’s

[Publisher]
28. 16 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
At this point, I had concluded the subject, but today,
Thursday 15 March 1906, I received the following
revelation at dawn:
18
meaning that God will reveal His face through these
five earthquakes and will manifest His Self, and [God
revealed that]: 'You are to Me like My Own
Manifestation', i.e., your coming will be just like My
Own Coming. This is God’s promise which He will
manifest Himself through five earthquakes. And
God’s promise will not be deferred and must come to
pass.
It should be remembered that prophecies are of
two kinds. First, there are simple warnings, the sole
purpose of which is to punish and chastise. If such a
warning comes from God Almighty, it can be averted
through expressions of fear and repentance, and
seeking forgiveness, or giving of alms and offering
supplications. The prophecy made by the Prophet
Jonahas
, for instance, was averted and did not come to
pass. Prophet Jonahas
had been told, as a warning, that
punishment would come down upon his people within
18
God is about to reveal Himself. [Translator]
29. Divine Manifestations 17
forty days. Although this prophecy was absolute and
unconditional, yet when the people of Jonahas
were
gripped with fear, and begged forgiveness from God,
and repented of their sins, the categorical promise was
withheld. This put Jonahas
in a great predicament. He
did not want to show his face to his people, after
having been branded a liar.
The fact that Divine warnings can be averted
through repentance, seeking forgiveness and giving of
alms is something which no religion or sect denies.
All Prophets are unanimous in their belief that
genuine remorse, prayers and charity can ward off
calamities. It is, therefore, quite obvious that when
God intends to chastise someone and informs a
Prophet beforehand of the impending punishment,
this is then called a prophecy of warning. When a
Prophet is not informed beforehand of an impending
punishment, then that chastisement will be considered
a hidden decree of God.
Look, how the ignorance of the foolish Maulawis
is exposed when they object that Deputy ‘Abdullah
Atham did not die within the period of fifteen months,
but that he died a few months later. They are ignorant
of the fact that this was a prophecy which contained a
warning. It was not unconditional, as was the
30. 18 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
prophecy of Jonahas
, and was accompanied by the
words: 'Provided that he did not seriously incline
towards the truth', which means that he would die
within fifteen months, provided that his heart did not
turn towards the truth. But it has been testified even
by the Christians that at the very meeting where this
prophecy was announced, ‘Abdullah Atham had
inclined towards the truth and was seized with fear.
At the end of the debate, when I addressed Mr.
‘Abdullah Atham aloud at the house of Dr. Martyn
Clarke, in the presence of sixty or seventy witnesses,
amongst whom were both Muslims and Christians, I
said: 'In one of your books, you have referred to our
Prophet Muhammadsa
as the Antichrist, and, as a
consequence, God had ordained that you shall perish
within fifteen months, provided you do not turn
towards the truth.' As soon as he heard this
announcement, he was seized with fear and his face
turned pale. He stuck out his tongue, held his ears
with his hands19
and, shaking with fear and with a
remorseful expression on his face, said: 'I have never
referred to the Holy Prophetsa
as the Antichrist.'
I believe that more than thirty Christians,
including Dr. Martyn Clarke—who is still alive—
19
A traditional gesture of repentance. [Translator]
31. Divine Manifestations 19
were present at the meeting. I am sure that, if asked
upon oath, they will not conceal the truth or give false
testimony. Furthermore, it is an established fact that,
after hearing this prophecy, Deputy ‘Abdullah Atham
became extremely nervous and agitated, as if he were
insane, and would often weep. From that moment on,
he never published even a single line against Islam
until he was overtaken by death a few months later.
During this time, I continued to publish posters
challenging him to swear under oath that he had not
repented as was stipulated in the text of my
revelation. If he swore to this, I promised to award
him a sum of four thousand rupees without delay.
But, despite the plea by many Christians (encouraging
him to take the oath), he never took the oath, making
the excuse that it is unlawful to swear under oath in
his religion, although it is evident from the Bible that
St Peter, St Paul and even Jesus Christ himself swore
under oath. How then could it be forbidden? To this
day, all Christian witnesses swear on oath in courts.
While non-Christian witnesses make a solemn
declaration to speak the truth, Christians are asked to
swear under oath. Anyhow, despite his evasiveness
and excuses, he could not avert his doom. Just as I
had publicised through posters, he died a few months
after the publication of my final announcement about
32. 20 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
him. In fact, the illness that caused his death had
began during those very days.
This is the standard of objections which are raised
against us by the Maulawis, who have derived no
benefit from their study of the Quran and Hadith.
Even now they cannot understand the difference
between a prophecy which contains warning and one
which contains an unconditional promise. They are
still ignorant of the story of Jonahas
which appears in
detail even in Durr-e-Manthur*
.
Since their intentions are dishonest, when they
raise their objections they forget that more than ten
thousand prophecies have all been fulfilled exactly as
God had communicated to me. And if there happens
to be a prophecy of warning, which is intended to
forewarn an individual about punishment, and is held
in abeyance, they raise an outcry. This proves that
they have no faith in the revealed books of God. In
their eagerness to attack me, they attack all the
Prophetsas
. These ignorant people do not realize that,
though Deputy ‘Abdullah Atham did not die within
fifteen months, he did ultimately die a few months
later during my lifetime. The words of the prophecy
clearly stated that the liar would die during the
*
A book of exegesis of the Holy Quran by Suyuti. [Publisher]
33. Divine Manifestations 21
lifetime of the truthful. He held Christianity to be
true, while I claimed that Islam is the true religion. So
God caused him to perish within my lifetime and
established my truthfulness.
Is this the standard of the Maulawis’ honesty that
they keep harping upon 'the fifteen months', and do
not mention the other aspects of the prophecy? They
do not realize that in the case of Jonahas
there was a
categorical prophecy that chastisement would fall
upon his people within forty days, but that
chastisement never came and Jonahas
died during the
lifetime of many of his people.
Alas! if these people had any honest intentions,
they would—after the incident of ‘Abdullah Atham—
have at least reflected upon the clear fulfilment of the
prophecy regarding Lekh Ram, which not only
foretold the exact time and mode of death, but did not
have any conditions attached to it either. But how can
we expect those, whose hearts have become darkened
by prejudice, to ponder over these matters? If they
had an iota of fairness in their hearts, they could have
undertaken an easy test by providing me with a
written list of all my prophecies which they think
have not been fulfilled, to see how many [of those]
there are. Then they would obtain proof from me of
34. 22 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
those that were fulfilled, and how many those are. By
this simple method, all doubts would have been lifted
from their hearts. I swear by God that the prophecies
giving them any cause for objection number no more
than one or two, and these are prophecies of warning
which were conditional and were held in abeyance in
view of the dread and fear they caused, and, in
accordance with the age-old custom of God that
repentance, alms-giving and supplication avert such
calamities. In contrast, there are over ten thousand
prophecies that were fulfilled and are witnessed by
hundreds of thousands of people from all sects and
denominations including Muslims, Hindus and
Christians who cannot help but to testify to the literal
fulfilment of those prophecies. Is it being honest to
disregard, and derive no benefit from a host of
fulfilled prophecies for which there are a multitude of
witnesses, and continue to harp upon the deferring of
one or two conditional prophecies, when the
deferment was in accordance with the age-old Divine
practice? With this approach, the Prophethood of
none of the Prophets can be established, because such
instances can be found in every Prophethood. This is
why I say that these people are enemies of religion
and truth. Even now if a group of them are willing to
cleanse their hearts and to come to me, I am ready to
35. Divine Manifestations 23
respond to their doubts and flimsy objections and to
show them the vast number of prophecies that God
has fulfilled in such a way that their truth is as bright
as the rising of the sun.
If these ignorant Maulawis choose to deliberately
close their eyes, it is up to them. They can do no harm
to the truth. But the time comes when many Pharaoh-
natured people will ponder over these prophecies and
be saved from drowning. God says: 'I shall mount
attack after attack, until I have established your truth
in the depths of their hearts.'
So, O Maulawis! if you possess the strength to
battle with God, then carry on. Was the humble Son
of Mary, before me, spared any torment at the hands
of the Jews? They even thought that they had
crucified him, but God saved him from death upon
the cross. So, while there was a time when he was
considered no more than a fraud and a liar, another
era dawned when his greatness was accepted in the
hearts of people. Now there are four hundred million
people who worship him as God. Although, they
committed an act of disbelief by making God of a
humble man, it serves as a befitting reply to the Jews
that the same Jesus, Son of Mary, whom they
regarded as a liar and wished to trample under their
36. 24 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
feet, has now reached such glory that four hundred
million people prostrate themselves before him, and
kings bow their heads in respect at the very mention
of his name.
Although I have prayed that I should not become
an instrument for the promotion of idolatry, as
happened with Jesus, Son of Mary—and I am sure
God will not let this happen—God has informed me
again and again that He will grant me great glory and
will instil my love in people’s hearts. He shall spread
my Movement all over the world and shall make my
sect triumphant over all other sects. The members of
my sect shall so excel in knowledge and insight that
they will confound everyone with the light of their
truth, and by dint of their arguments and signs. Every
nation will drink of this fountain, and this Movement
will spread and blossom until it rapidly encompasses
the entire world. Many tribulations and obstacles shall
come, but God will remove them all and will fulfil
His promise. God addressed me and said: 'I shall
grant thee blessing upon blessing until kings shall
seek blessings from thy garments!'20
So O ye who listen! remember these things and

In a vision, I was shown those kings, and they were on horseback.
I was told that these are the kings who shall bear the yoke of thy
obedience and God shall bless them. [Author]
37. Divine Manifestations 25
keep these prophecies safe in your boxes, for they are
the words of God that will one day come to pass. I do
not observe any goodness in my own self, and I have
not done the things which I should have done. I
consider myself no more than an unworthy labourer.
God’s grace was all that helped me through.
Therefore, boundless gratitude is due to the All-
Powerful and Merciful God Who accepted this
handful of dust despite all its ineptitude.
21
I forgot to mention that, in the above-mentioned
revelation, the words:
21
I marvel at Your benign and marvellous favours upon me
Such that I was granted Your acceptance despite my humility and
meekness
With such an abundance of chosen servants under Your majesty
What trait of this humble servant attracted Your fancy?
Just as You created a universe from a droplet
You demonstrated that same attribute here. [Translator]
38. 26 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
which mean that God’s promise must come to pass,
point to the fact that the coming of the five
earthquakes is a promise that has to be fulfilled
ultimately. Of course, God will have mercy on him
who repents and makes peace with Him now, and rids
himself of every element of arrogance, but this does
not mean that the five promised earthquakes will not
come. They will most certainly come, but such people
will be saved from the suffering of these quakes, for
this is the promise of God, and He never defaults on
His promises. Prophecies which contain warning may
be averted, but His promises are never averted, as I
have earlier stated.
Another question which naturally arises here is
that when hundreds of signs had been clearly fulfilled
in my support and they were reaching thousands,
what was the need for yet another sign of the deadly
plague and the devastating earthquakes? Were those
hundreds of signs not enough?
This question can be answered in two ways. First,
it is the nature of man that he derives very little
benefit from signs of God’s mercy and compassion.
Prejudice causes him to find lame excuses to reject
other smaller signs as well and to remain bereft of the
fortune of faith. This is what happened here: despite
39. Divine Manifestations 27
the fulfilment of thousands of signs in my favour,
people’s hearts were not moved in the least. If you
read my book Nuzul-ul-Masih, you shall see for
yourselves that there was no scarcity of signs from
God in my support. There were signs which were
manifested for the benefit of friends, and those which
served as warning to the foes. There were signs
relating to my person, and signs relating to my
children. Just as the oceans cover the greater portion
of the earth, so was my Movement filled with
heavenly signs. Not a single day goes by without the
appearance of a sign. And every prophecy is in itself a
sign. In this booklet I have mentioned ten thousand
signs just to serve as an illustration. Otherwise, if they
were all put into writing, they would make a book of
more than a thousand volumes.
Is it possible for a liar to reveal the unseen so
abundantly and with such consistency? Each day God
continues to bring ignominy upon my ignorant
opponents by manifesting all kinds of signs. I swear
by Him that just as He granted His converse to the
Prophet Abrahamas
and then to Isaacas
, Ishmaelas
,
Jacobas
, Josephas
, Mosesas
and Jesus Son of Maryas
,
and, after them all, spoke with unmatched clarity and
purity to our Prophet Muhammadsa
, so did He honour
me with His converse and revelation. But this honour
40. 28 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
was bestowed upon me solely because of my
complete submission to the Holy Prophet
Muhammadsa
. If I had not been part of the Holy
Prophet’ssa
Ummah, and had not been his follower,
then, even if my good deeds had matched all the
mountains of the world, I would never have received
this honour of converse with God, for all Prophethood
has come to an end except the Prophethood of
Muhammadsa
. No law-bearing Prophet can come after
him. A Prophet who does not bring a new law can
come, but he has to be a follower of the Holy
Prophetsa
first. On this basis, I am both an Ummati22
and a Prophet. My Prophethood, i.e., my converse
with God, is nothing but a reflection of the
Prophethood of Muhammadsa
. Apart from this my
Prophethood is nothing. It is the same Prophethood of
Muhammadsa
which has manifested itself through me.
And, since I am a mere reflection of him as well as
his devout follower, this does not in the least diminish
the high status of the Holy Prophetsa
.
The Divine converse which I experience is
unequivocal. If I were to doubt it even for an instant, I
would become a disbeliever and my afterlife would
be ruined. The Word that is revealed to me is certain
22
A follower of the Holy Prophetsa
. [Translator]
41. Divine Manifestations 29
and definite. Just as no one can doubt the sun and its
light when he has seen it, in the same manner, I
cannot doubt the veracity of the Word which is
revealed to me from God. I believe in it just as I
believe in the Book of God. It is possible that, for a
time, I might misunderstand the meaning of a
particular revelation, but it is impossible for me to
have any doubt about it being the Word of God.
By my definition, a Prophet is one upon whom
the certain and unequivocal Word of God descends in
abundance, and it is such as contains matters of the
unseen. It is in this context that God has called me a
Prophet, albeit one who does not bring any new law.
Till the Day of Judgement, the Holy Quran shall
remain the Law-bearing Book.
The word of God which is bestowed upon me has
an extraordinary effect and it reveals itself to me with
luminous rays. It penetrates my heart like a metal nail
and saturates me with its spiritual powers. It is
pleasing, eloquent and soothing and is accompanied
by Divine awe. It is not niggardly in relating the
unseen, and rivers of the unseen flow in it.
As for some of my adversaries who claim to be
recipients of Divine Revelation, their revelations do
not contain the waves of the unseen, nor do they
42. 30 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
contain a surging stream of the mysteries of the
Divine. Divine Might and Grandeur have, in fact,
been nowhere near them. What is more, they
themselves confess that they are not sure if their
revelations originate from God or from Satan. That is
why they usually hold the belief that their revelations
have an element of conjecture, for they cannot say if
these are from God or Satan.
It is a shame to take pride in such revelations as
do not possess enough light even to show that they
are truly Divine and have not been inspired by Satan.
God is Holy, while Satan is unclean. Hence, strange
are these revelations for one cannot even determine
with certainty if they originate from a pure fountain or
from an impure and polluted one? The other dilemma
is that anyone innocently following a satanic
revelation, imagining it to be from God, would also
fall into the pit of destruction. And conversely, one
who does not follow a revelation from God, fearing
lest it be from Satan, would also be ruined. So what
are these revelations but a frightening dilemma
resulting in destruction?
Furthermore, such revelations are a stain on
Islam, for the People of Israel were given such
unequivocal revelations that the mother of Mosesas
43. Divine Manifestations 31
had no doubts about the truth and certainty of the
revelation she received and cast her innocent child
into the river. The Prophet Khidar even killed a child
as a result of revelation. But this Ummah (may Allah
have mercy on it) did not even attain the spiritual
stature that was granted to Israelite women. If this is
true, then what is the meaning of the Quranic verse:
23
So are these doubtful revelations of yours—which can
equally be ascribed to Rahman or to Satan—the
blessings (which this verse speaks of)? What a
disgrace!
The second answer to the aforementioned
question is that, while the prophecies predicting the
outcome of even minor incidents are sufficient, as an
argument, to establish the truth of God’s
Messengers—because the sheer number of these
prophecies and because the circumstances under
which they are made are such that others cannot
produce their like—those who are afflicted with
scepticism and suspicions continue to be captivated
by one doubt or another. For example, if a son is born
in a house by the prayers of one who has been
23
The path of those on whom You has bestowed Your blessings.
(The Holy Quran, Al-Fatihah 1:7) [Publisher]
44. 32 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
ordained by Allah, or he gives the glad tiding of a son
and a son is born, many would claim that this is not a
significant sign. They would say that many women
have dreams about themselves, or about women in
their neighbourhood, that they have given birth to a
son. Now if a son is actually born, in accordance with
those dreams, shall we consider such a woman to be
Prophet or Messenger or Muhaddath*
?
These people are not justified in their suspicions,
but how can one hold the tongue of the ignorant?
They are wrong, because we do not say that the truth
of one or two predictions or the accuracy of a few odd
dreams are enough to prove that a person is a
Messenger and should be considered an elect of God.
For that, there should first be a claim, and then there
should be prophecies in such numbers and of such
quality that the dreams and predictions of ordinary
people stand nowhere in comparison to them. As in
my case, the number of prophecies regarding the
outcome of common incidents that were fulfilled by
God at my hand runs into thousands. Who can
compete with me in the quantity and quality of the
fulfilment of such prophecies?
Some years ago, an unfortunate and ignorant
*
The one to whom God speaks. [Publisher]
45. Divine Manifestations 33
person raised the objection that Maulawi Hakim Nur-
ud-Din Sahib lost his son while he is one of my most
devoted companions. Although this objection was
made out of sheer prejudice and ignorance,
considering that our master the Holy Prophet
Muhammadsa
lost eleven of his sons, yet, as a result
of my supplications, God revealed to me that
Maulawi Hakim Nur-ud-Din Sahib would be granted
another son and that this son would later develop
boils all over his body as a proof that he is indeed the
one who was born as a result of my prayers. This is
exactly what happened. A short while after this
prophecy, a son was born to Maulawi Sahib and was
given the name ‘Abdul Ha’i. Shortly after his birth, he
developed many boils over his body, the marks of
which can still be seen on him. God created those
boils on his body so that nobody would think that the
birth of the son was the result of a coincidence and
not the result of prayers, or that this was not a
conclusive proof of the fulfilment of my prophecy.
Sometimes, it so happens that people talk about
someone and wish that he were also present. But no
sooner have they mentioned his name, than the very
person walks in. And the people exclaim: Welcome, it
was you we were just talking about.' So God included
in my prophecy the sign of the boils on the child’s
46. 34 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
body in order to confirm that the son was born as a
result of prayers and not as a mere coincidence. I have
thousands of similar illustrations but, unfortunately, it
is not possible to catalogue them in this brief booklet.
As I have already mentioned, when prophecies
regarding even common incidents number in the
thousands, they stand as proof that the person who
made the prophecies and who claims to have been
sent by Allah is indeed commissioned by Him. Still,
those whose hearts suffer from suspicion and
scepticism do not desist from casting doubts. They
assert that such and such a mendicant had shown a
similar miracle, and such and such an astrologer had
also said something similar which was later fulfilled.
Not only do such people themselves go astray, but
they also cause many others to be misled. These
unenlightened people possess eyes, but they cannot
see all the aspects; they possess a heart, but that heart
cannot contemplate on each minute aspect.
When did I ever say that there is no one apart
from me who can even have a dream or a revelation?
On the contrary, even a prostitute, whose entire life is
spent in fornication, can sometimes have true
dreams. Even a thief, whose only profession is to steal
other people’s property, can also be informed of a
47. Divine Manifestations 35
future incident through a dream.
My claim, which I have repeatedly put before
people, is that none but those who have been specially
selected by God’s grace, are granted dreams and
revelations of such substance and quality as number
in their thousands, and in respect of which no one else
is able to compete with them.
Receiving of true dreams and revelations by
ordinary people once in a while is also for the good of
mankind. If such a door were entirely shut to the rest
of mankind, it would be very difficult for them to
believe in the truthfulness of God’s Messengers. They
would never be able to understand if these Prophets
have truly been gifted with Divine Revelation, or if it
is a fraud and only the result of some evil temptation.
It is in the nature of man that if he has not
experienced a phenomenon, he cannot fully
comprehend it, and eventually ends up in a state of
distrust.
That is why the wine-drinking nations of Europe
and America, whose intellects have been blunted by
intoxicants, deny the very existence of true dreams,
since they do not have any similar experience. Thus,
the reason for granting ordinary people an occasional
taste of true dreams and revelations is that when a
48. 36 Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah
Prophet appears among them they should not be
deprived of the blessing of accepting him. They
would know for certain that the phenomenon of
revelation is a reality which they have also enjoyed to
a limited degree. The difference is that such ordinary
people are like beggars who have just a few coins to
themselves………….∗

An Important Note
This book, entitled Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah, was
printed during the life of the Promised Messiahas
at Dia-ul-Islam Press, under the management of
Hakim Fadluddin Sahib Bhairwira
. But as the
Promised Messiah had not completed writing the
book, it was not published at the time.
It was only in 1922 that, with the permission of
Hadrat Khalifatul Masih II, the book was first
published with the addition of the title page. The
second edition was published in 1936 and this is
the third edition.
The principle we adopt with regard to the
writings and books of the Promised Messiahas
is
that we publish them exactly as they were
published in the lifetime of the Promised
Messiahas
and under his own supervision. We do
not consider it proper to change any of the words
on the basis of our own suppositions. In fact, we
have not changed even the most evident misprints
in this book and have published them exactly as
printed in the original.

Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah is an unfinished book of the
Promised Messiahas
, written in 1906 and published
posthumously in 1922.
The book covers important subjects of Divine
knowledge and spiritual insight. It opens with an
account of the precision with which the Promised
Messiah’s prophecies regarding earthquakes had been
fulfilled, and foretells the coming of five more terrible
catastrophes. In this context, Huduras
also explains the
philosophy behind Divine chastisement.
The difference between Divine and Satanic
dreams, an account of the fulfilment of the prophecy
regarding ‘Abdullah Atham, and a profound prophecy
about global acceptance and victory of Ahmadiyyat—
the true Islam—are but a few of the many singular
themes discussed in this book.
