The Miracle of Ahmad — Page 30
Hazrat Mirza ghulam AHmAD 30 of this? Open the Holy Quran and read the verse 1 اَّمَلَف ْيِنَتْيَّفَوَت to the end and then decide whether or not you have declared Hadrat ‘ I s a to be a liar or not! But why should I lament this when you consider even God to be guilty of falsehood! In the verse 2 اَّمَلَف ْيِنَتْيَّفَوَت God has stated clearly that Hadrat ‘ I s a , peace be upon him, is dead and then vividly recorded the excuse made by him, that it was only after his death that his people went astray. Hence, here God seeks to make you understand that if Hadrat ‘ I s a is not dead already, then the Christians too have not yet gone astray. This is because the Christians were to stay on the right path only while Hadrat ‘ I s a as lived, and his death was to serve as a Sign of their fall into mis - guidance. Tell me how, according to your own stance, God can end up truthful in this matter while you are not willing to accept His statement to be true? Likewise, in the verse: 3 َو اَم ٌدَّمَحُم اَّلِا ٌلْوُسَر١ۚ ْدَق ْتَلَخ ْنِم ِهِلْبَق ُلُسُّرلا١ؕ God had clearly established the death of all the Prophets by using a comprehensive term, ْتَلَخ [ khalat ], and by not using any distinc - tive term for Hadrat ‘ I s a alone. In your opinion, this too is, God forbid, a lie told by God. Remember that this is the same verse by reciting which Hadrat Ab u Bakr ra argued that the Holy Prophet, 1. S u rah al-M a ’idah, 5:118 [Publisher] 2. S u rah al-M a ’idah, 5:118 [Publisher] 3. Muhammad is only a Messenger. Verily, all Messengers have passed away before him ( S u rah A l ‘Imr a n, 3:145).
