Some Prophecies of Hazrat Ahmad - A Critical Study — Page 2
Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas of Qadian claimed to be such a prophet within the jurisdiction of Islam, entirely subordinate to the Holy. Prophet of Islam, Hadhrat Muhammed Mustaphasa. But, the non. Ahmadiyya antagonists, in their attempt to judge him according to their own established criterion of prophethood, raised many objections against him which they would have found unnecessary had they first established the criterion of prophethood based on the authority of the. Holy Quran and the Traditions of the Holy Prophetsa. . Nevertheless, it is an undeniable phenomenon that since the advent of prophethood, God Almighty has enlightened His commissioned apostles with the revelation of His Divine will. But, it is unfortunate that man has often rejected these inspired declarations and consequently, to his own detriment, denied the Signs which God showed through the agency of His apostles. ¹. The Promised Messiah, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas of Qadian, being a commissioned apostle of God Almighty, was also a recipient of numerous divine revelations. Ironically, anxious to falsify his claim to prophethood, his adversaries have incessantly argued against many of his inspired prophecies and alleged that these were but mere fabrications which had not been fulfilled. . In recent times, the revival of this controversy against Hadhrat. Ahmad'sas prophecies has been witnessed once again despite the fact that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has successfully refuted the arguments of the critics on numerous occasions in the past. . The present publication proposes to set out a comprehensive response against the criticism directed towards such of Hadhrat Ahmadas's prophecies which his adversaries argue were not fulfilled. 1.
