Some Prophecies of Hazrat Ahmad - A Critical Study — Page 4
performing the sanctified rites which he had understood to have been ordained in his vision. ". Islamic literature bears witness that despite holding him in high esteem, the Companions of the Holy Prophets were extremely reluctant to return to Medina without fulfilling the prophecy as understood by them. ². Many years later, Hadhrat Umarra referred to this incident and stated that 'since he had become a Muslim, it was only on that day at Hudaibiyya that he was given to doubt. '³. What comments would these pedantic and arrogant scholars who argue against the fulfilment of Hadhrat Ahmad's as prophecies have made, had they been present at the signing of this treaty at Hudaibiyya and the return of the Muslims to Medina without performing the sacred rites indicated in the Holy Prophet's sa vision?. Another instance of how Divine revelations have deluded men of high stature may be demonstrated in God Almighty's promise vouchsafed unto. Hadhrat Noahas. The Holy Quran indicates that God Almighty had promised to save the entire family of Hadhrat Noahas from the calamity which was destined to overtake his people. 4. Yet, when Hadhrat Noahas saw his own son Canaan on the verge of drowning, he cried out to God in utter desperation and painful wonder, reminding God of His earlier promise. However, instead of saving Canaan,. God Almighty informed the agitated father that although the son in question was the apostle's own flesh and blood, yet, being an unrighteous person, he was not included, in the sight of God, among the members of. Hadhrat Noah'sas family. This indicated that Hadhrat Noahas had misunderstood God Almighty's promise which related to the apostle's spiritual progeny only. ". What comments, one wonders, would these dogmatic scholars have made in relation to God's promise to Hadhrat Noahas, had they been present at the scene, watching from a hill top, Canaan being swept away to his eternal doom by a gigantic wave? 1.
