In Hamamat-ul-Mushra, page 94 (1894). This is one perspective, now listen to the second perspective, after all these declarations when he decided to declare prophethood, then he says that,
“Allah has sent a revelation to me”,
in Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, page 72 (1950 edition, Rabwah), he states after that,
“Allah named me a Messenger.”,
meaning he claims that, “All previous prophets were gathered in me.”
And he wrote in Brahin-e-Ahmadiyyah that “I am Adam, Shees, Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Ishaq, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Jesus and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and even Ahmad.” (Nauzu Billah).
Now I have shown you that perspective of his, that anyone who claims prophethood is the brother of Muslaiymah (Liar). Whoever claims prophethood is infidel, disbeliever. Whoever claims prophethood is outside of Islam. On one side, keep this entire statement in mind. Now place these all claims in contrast to those statements.
The next reference I am providing, he states that
“The revelation of Allah, descended upon me like rain, and it descended so abundantly that it did not allow me to remain on my previous beliefs, and it made me clearly realize that Allah has declared me a Prophet.”
This is from the book Haqeeqat-ul-Wahi, page 149 and 150. And he said,
“I swear by the God in whose hands my life lies, He has sent me, and He named as a Prophet, and called me the Promised Messiah.”
Then he says, “The last Prophet to come in the end times was me. Now all the world is helpless before my prophethood. Only through my window can prophethood be attained. There is no other way to receive divine grace except through my prophethood, and I am the last light among all the lights of Allah, and whoever does not accept me who has come to Qadian as messenger is considered a non-believer.” (Nauzu Billah)
In his book Kishti-e-Nooh, he states, “It was a convenant from God that I would send Muhammad again into the world, so here I am.” (Nauzu Billah).
In his book Tabligh-e-Risalat, volume 10, page 14. He continued to progress in these claims.
The point I intended to make is that some people, when encounter Qadianis, they claim that Mirza never actually declared prophethood. They tell that Mirza Sahib saw someone like the Promised Messiah. Understand this point.
It is a cunning strategy; he (Mirza Ghulam) has made such false claims in his books. It is essential to keep this entire concept in mind that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani did not make a single claim; he made twelve claims in his books. You ask any of them,
they will say, “We only consider him a mujadid (reformer)”, and he also claimed, “I am a reformer.” This is a false accusation against him and they will pick up the book to support his claims. They will narrate another story to the next person and again a change story to the next.
Initially, he claimed to be a Mujaddid (reformer), then a Muhaddis (recipient of divine communication). Next he claimed to be Mahdawiyat (means that he is Imam Mahdi). Then, after establishing this foundation, he, after few years, claimed the title of Maseeh (Masaliyat e Maseeh) that he was similar to Jesus.
Next, he declared himself to be te exact Promised Messiah (Maseeh e Mauood means Eisa Ibn e Maryam).
At the next stage, he claimed, superiority over Jesus. (Nauzu Billah)
After establishing his base, he then claimed to be a Zilli Nabi (shadow Prophet) (Nauzu Billah), meaning gaining Prophethood under the shadow of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This is the seventh claim.
Then he make the eighth claim of Buroozi Nabi(manifestation Prophet) where Burooz refers to something that was hidden or concealed it was now revealed, he claim, “I am not a new prophet but the same Muhammad Mustafa, reappeared. I was hidden, but now I am reappeared.”
Every claim contradicted his previous claim. Every claim proved his previous claim as false. Through each claim, he built a foundation and when it became acceptable in his followers then, after few years, he used to make another claim. This way he made 12 claims.
He made a ninth claim, stating, “I am a prophet but not a real prophet. My title is that of a prophet, but I am not a true prophet.”
Later, he asserted in tenth claim, “I am a real prophet with divine rulings and Shariah.”
In eleventh claim, he stated that, “I did not break the seal of prophethood and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the last Prophet; so they asked, ‘Then who are you?’ He replied, ‘I am Muhammad Mustafa, the Khatam-un-Nabiyeen, who has reappeared. He came to Mecca, and now he has come to Qadian. ASTAGFIRULLAH.
This was his eleventh claim, “I am Muhammad Mustafa, the Final Prophet, again in this world, and the verse that was revealed was about my status”.
Finally, his twelfth claim was, “I am even superior to Muhammad Mustafa (PBUH).” Nauzu Billah.
