The Verdict of the Quran and Sunnah — Page 3
The Verdict of the Holy Quran and Sunnah 3 both the lunar and solar eclipses were prophesized by the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa , not by the Promised Messiah as. All scholars also know that a lunar eclipse took place at the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa. The Promised Messiah as has presented it as an evidence of the truthfulness of the prophecy of the Holy Prophet sa , and no Ahmad i scholar has ever given it a different connotation. B a w a Sahib fails to realize that this prophecy of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa has been preserved as a shining verity for the past 1,400 years. No religious thinker has ever raised the objection that, since only a lunar eclipse occurred for the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa , why should both the sun and moon be eclipsed for the Promised Mahd i , which would then somehow give the Mahd i superiority over the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa. It is only B a w a Sahib’s odd thinking that conjured up this novel allegation, in order to ‘prove’ that the Promised Messiah as has presented this as a sign of his own superiority over the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa. If this does not show that B a w a Sahib’s intentions are crooked, then what does? On the surface, these attacks seem to be on the Promised Messiah as , but in reality he is attacking the firmly established religious precepts that bear the seal of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa himself. A large number of ulema had accepted the H ad i th containing the prophecy of lunar and solar eclipses, and prior to the claim of the Promised Messiah as the prophecy of the lunar and solar eclipses was very well-known in the subcontinent. Only after the advent of the Promised Messiah as did the ulema start to label this as a saying of Hadrat Im a m B a qir rh. This is so that they can recuse themselves of the obligation to accept the Promised Messiah as , considering that the lunar and solar eclipses did take place on their appointed dates,
