HAZRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD (AS) If one were to study the Holy Quran with Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya and ponder over this matter with fairness, reason and piety, one would be able to see how the prophecy in Surah At-Tahreem― that a person from among this Ummah would also be named Mary and would then be transformed therefrom into Jesus, i. e. be born from Mary was fulfilled in the revelations of Barahin-e- Ahmadiyya. Is this within the power of man? Did I have any control over this affair? Was I present when the Holy Quran was being revealed so that I could request for a verse to be sent down which would make me the Son of Mary and thereby alleviate any future accusations relating to my being referred to as the Son of Mary? Moreover, was it possible, that twenty or twenty-two years ago, rather, even before this, I could have crafted the plan to forge a revelation so that I may first be referred to as Mary, and then gone on to concoct a revelation which suggested that like the Mary of past, the soul of Jesus was also breathed into me; and then finally on page 556 of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya written that from Mary I had now emerged as Jesus? the My dear ones! Reflect and fear God. This is surely not the work of man. Wisdoms as profound and subtle as these transcend the understanding and judgement of man. If, long ago, during the publication of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, I had plotted such a thing, why then would I have written that the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary will descend to return from heaven in the same book?
