was a Mughal Barlas by castean emigrant family from Samarqand. Surprisingly,
Mirza Qadiyyani changed his origin latterly and declared himself of Persian origin being
one of the descendants of Alithe beloved cousin and son in law of Prophet
Muhammad. The family of Mirza Qadiyyani already owed allegiance to the British
Government, and the Mughals of Qadiyyan played a remarkable role in protecting the
British in the 1857 Indian War of Independence. Mirzas family fought against Muslim
brethren to protect the British elite, whereas we can also find an impulse of obedience
and servitude for the British in Mirzas own writings afterwards. Since the Whiteman
had already assumed Islam to be a dead religion, the British were stunned to sustain the
severest of the blows from the Muslims in the so-called 1857 Rebellion. They learnt an
important lesson from this outstanding event that the spirit of Islam was still glowing in
the hearts of Indian Muslims. Coming to the conclusion of Islamic menace, the British
prepared a cunning plan for the simple hearted Muslims of India, wherein, Mirza
Qadiyyani was employed by the British as their puppet and thus his knowledge of Islam
exploited. In brief, the British found an alternative of Orthodox Islam in the faithful
person of Mirza Qadiyyani to beguile the adherents of the Islamic religion.
Having been fully brain-washed by the British, Mirza claimed to be the Mujaddid
(Reformer) of the century in 1885. Since, Mirza had already published his famous four
volume book Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya, it was not difficult for his claim to be widely
accepted and celebrated. Mirza was, soon afterwards, looked upon as a reformer of the
fashion of Shah Wali-Ullah and Mujaddid Alif Thani. Nobody had, however, the
foresight to recognize the danger in his teachings at that time of the pretentiousness of
Mirzas sympathy for Islam and his other similar evil plans. As soon as he found
appropriate circumstances, he changed his direction towards a higher designation.
By 1890, Mirza Qadiyyani had worked out the plan to take a step forward by
claiming the office of Messiaship for himself. 1889 is the year to be reckoned for the
inception of Qadiyyanism. Mirza Qadiyyani immediately assumed the title of Massih-eMawud, the Promised Messiah, despite the fact that Islam did not incorporate such a
terminology. 1894 was the year of his awe-inspiring claim of being Al-Mahdi owing to
the desirable heavenly incidents coinciding with a narrative of Sunan Dar-Qutni,
wherein a certain Muhammad (not Prophet Muhammad) is recorded to have
prophesied consecutive lunar and solar eclipses occurring in the month of Ramadan to
foreshadow the inception of Al-Mahdi. Since both lunar and solar eclipses took place in
the Ramadan of 1894, Mirza Qadiyyani therefore declared these events as the signs of
his messianic Mahdishipan illusion crafty enough to convince superstitious populace
of Subcontinent.
The story did not end on this disdainful leap; instead, Mirza Qadiyyani kept
himself busy in blaspheming Israelite Prophets, especially Isa bin Mariyam (Jesus, the
son of Mary), and, out of his pervert nature, tempering with the sacred teachings of the
Qurn and the Sunnah. In 1901, Mirza claimed to have been bestowed with the office of
prophecythus ordained as a Prophet by Godyet another dodge to nullify Islams
status of the Final Religion. Mirza himself states in the advocacy of his prophetic office:
Unmasking Qadiyyanism
By ALLAH in Whose grip is my soul, it is He Who commissioned me and named me a
prophet.
Initially, Mirza was quite satiated with the simple assumption of the office of a
Prophet withoutLaw/ Legislation Authority (Ghair-Tashriyi Nabi), but the following
seven years of celebrity had an evolutionary effect on the insatiable lust of Mirza
Qadiyyani. He, therefore, pronounced in 1908 his newly acquired authority of being
Gods Messenger i.e. Rasool. In 1904, he abrogated the orthodox concept of Jihad;
thence, Qadiyyanis have been declaring every type of Jihad plain terrorism. The final
claims of Mirza were his Unity with God and becoming Karishna of the Hindu legend
not long before his death. He says in this respect: I am God in my vision
In short, all of the blasphemies of Mirza Qadiyyani vividly prove him as an
imposter, who was bribed by the British initially for their interests sake, who later on
became an independent movement on his own. As a matter of fact, the psychic title of
disillusioned missionary would be a most awarding for the chameleonic personality of
Mirza Qadiyyani.
Unmasking Qadiyyanism
Qadiyyani interpretation and reasoning. Glorious Qurn unapologetically proclaims that
the Prophet Muhammad is the Seal of the Prophets and Prophetic Office (Ahzb
33:40); hence no more Prophets can be expected because the Message of Allah has
been delivered to Mankind in its accomplished form and mode. Revelation of the Qurn
to Prophet Muhammad is the perfection and culmination of all types of Divine
Revelation in all respects and contexts, and if someone still believes in the possibility of
a new Prophet or Revelation, such a persons faith must be considered in a severe
danger.
Qadiyyanis always resort to such apologetic notions as Zilli, Buroozi, and GhairTashriyi Nabuwwah, new form of Prophethood for modifying the Quranic conception
of the office of a Prophet. However, surprisingly enough, they always forget that Islam
does not accommodate any of these terms. Zill meaning shadow is fundamentally a
Vedic (Hindu) conception expressed in the term Avatar, which is, in fact, poles apart
from the anticlassical nature of Islam. We use incarnation as an equivalent English
word for Avatar, wherein, only Christianity believes among the three monotheistic
religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). Mirza Qadiyyanis teachings, however, do
not even square with the Christian New Testaments Logia and Christhood and thus
Qadiyyanism does not find any scriptural base even in the Christian religion.
Similarly, Burooz meaning extension has originally been found in the Buddhist
faith. The Buddhist concept of Bodhisattva equates with the false Qadiyyani notion of
BuroozBodhisattva being an extension of the Buddhas virtuous personality.
Furthermore, Ghair-Tashriyi Prophethood is nowhere mentioned in the Qurn and the
Hadith, for which this ideology can be rendered as self-created. If we carefully observe,
the fact will be disclosed that the word Nabi has always been used for a non-legislative
representative of Allah, and the Glorious Qurn employs the same word to describe the
sealing of the Prophethood on Prophet Muhammad in Surah Ahzb 33:40. This implies
that both legislative and non-legislative kinds of the Prophetic office have been sealed
with the revelation of the Qurn and inception of Prophet Muhammads ministry.
In the end, I leave the conclusion of the present thesis upon the readers to make
a decision about the fate of Qadiyyanism in the light of truth and based on merit.
