Allegation that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s Jama’at has no proof of the signs of Allah’s help

Argument:

Obviously, the inheritors of the Mirza Ghulam’s wealth and fortune have good reasons to hide such evidence from the unsuspecting public!  However, in addition to covering up and distorting these and other truths, these missionaries falsely claim to be representing “true Islam” and, for evidence, can only present their TV shows and the fact that they spend millions on the construction of majestic buildings!

In truth, nearly anyone with needed financial means can host TV programs and construct grandiose places of worship: the Temples of Baha’is and Mormons are indeed worthy of a visit. Obviously, outward grandeur of buildings, exaggerated claims of worldly accomplishments, and the propaganda displayed under the scrutiny of the media cannot be used to dismiss what Mirza Ghulam and the founders of his movement have falsely attributed to Islam.  

No doubt, claims of worldly accomplishments cannot be accepted as the signs of the truthfulness of any movement and we are well justified in insisting that, instead of such trivial talk, actual evidence should be presented so that all interested individuals may make an informed decision.

We ask Allah(SWT) to touch the heart of sincere seekers of the truth and guide them to the perfect Islam of our Last Prophet, Muhammad may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

Rebuttal:

If Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad may peace be upon him is a false Prophet then he and his community should not be getting any help from Allah, instead the opposite should be happening and Allah should be helping towards our decline.  In fact this is one of the criterias to know a true Prophet from Allah according to His Holy Books, that a true Prophet should be getting the help of Allah and be victorious.  If he is really from God, then he should have the support of Allah behind him.  The Holy Qur’an is very clear, it states “Allah has decreed, ‘Most surely I will prevail, I and my Messengers'” (Holy Qur’an 58:22).  Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad may peace be upon him was a champion of Islam, respected by all, feared by his opponents in debates.  But once he made the claim to be a Prophet, then suddenly, all the Muslims turned against him and persecution started.  The same thing happened to the Holy Prophet may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, Jesus may peace be upon him etc.  But despite only having a few followers and even to this day there are only around 5 million followers in Pakistan, yet still after over 100 years of persecution, they have failed to prevent his message from spreading. 

One of the prophecies that Hazrat Ahmad may peace be upon him received was ” I will cause thy message to reach the corners of the world” (Tadhkirah: English translation, Muhammad Zafarullah Khan, 1976, p 184)and Ahmadiyyat is now spread to nearly every country of the world.  Every time the Muslims destroy one of our Mosques, we build 100 more.  Despite their efforts to suppress our message, through our TV station MTA International (Sky Channel 787), it is being broadcast throughout the world every minute of the day.  So the Muslims should think about this? 

When the Tsunami happened in Indonesia etc., it was a very good opportunity for Allah to punish us, if we were wrong.  Yet not one Ahmadi died!  The Indonesian Government actually removed some Ahmadis from one village and that same village was completely wiped out when the Tsunami hit.  When the earthquake happened in Pakistan, that also affected India, these being countries where there are the most of our followers, yet not one Ahmadi died! Even in the time of the Promised Messiah may peace be upon him a plague hit India and he made the bold statement that all his true and sincere followers will survive. Although the British Government had provided an inoculation to help against the plague, still sadly thousands of people died. The Promised Messiah received a revelation of Allah’s help towards him and his faithful community which was:

“You and those who dwell within the four walls of your house; those who unconditionally follow you and are obedient to you, and who on account of true righteousness have become devoted to you, shall all be safeguarded against the plague. This will be a sign of God in the Latter Days so that He might demonstrate a distinction between people. But those who do not follow you completely are not of you. Be not anxious on their account”
Noah’s Ark (Kashti-e-Nuh) by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad p2-3

He continued to say that as this was a divine directive, on account of which, he and those who dwell within the four walls of my house have no need to be inoculated. Whilst he didn’t prevent anyone of his followers from getting inoculated if they wanted to, he made it clear that his true followers would be protected by Allah from this plague. And this was the case, none of his true followers died from it. One person caught it and the Promised Messiah prayed for him and he survived!

So the Muslim world should think about this, why doesn’t Allah destroy us?  It is easy for Allah to do that.  When they made the law in Pakistan that we were non-Muslims, the 4th Khalifa was told by his advisers to leave the country as the law was devised to arrest him.  He left and went to Karachi to get the plane for England and despite clear instructions being given that do not allow the Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Movement to leave, and on his passport it stated ‘Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Movement’, by mistake the order gave the name of the 3rd Khalifa Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad and not the 4th Khalifa Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, so they allowed him to leave (I don’t know what happened to that person once the President Zia ul Haq found out about his mistake).  So why didn’t Allah prevent him from leaving, instead it seems that he had the help of Allah.  So we believe that we have the full support of Allah and that is manifested over and over again.  It is okay trying to mock us for being so successful, but one should instead be questioning why this movement is so successful, why does it seem that Allah is helping us to be successful?
