Advanced to Remove another

Chapter
II -- Claims of the
Founder
1.
Mujaddid (Renovator) of the
Fourteenth Century Hijrah:
|
The bi'that (Appointment)
of Mujaddids
|
Authenticity of the Hadith of
Mujaddid
|
Claims of other Mujaddids
|
The Mujaddid of the Fourteenth
Century of Hijrah
|
If Hazrat Mirza Ghulam
Ahmad is not the Mujaddid of the
Fourteenth Century, who else is
the Claimant to this office?
|
If Hazrat Mirza Ghulam
Ahmad is the Mujaddid, Muslims
must Co-operate with him
|
The Mujaddid's First Task was to
Establish the Truth of Divine
Communication
|
The Mujaddid's Second Task was to
Uphold the Quran over everything
else
|
2.
The Promised Messiah:
|
Why the Name the Promised Messiah
was given to the Mujaddid of the
Fourteenth Century Hijrah?
|
Christianity Musters all its
Resources against Islam
|
The Mention of the Messiah in the
Reports of the Prophet
|
The Coming Messiah shall Appear
from among the Muslims
|
The Evidence of the Quran that
the Messiah shall be Raised from
the Nation of Muhammad
|
The Second Evidence of the Quran
|
Death of Jesus Christ
|
Evidence of the Quran
|
Evidence of the Gospels
|
Evidence of Hadith and other
Sources
|
The Descent of Messiah means the
Appearance of another Person
|
Prophecy of the Descent or Second
Advent in Previous Scriptures
|
Metaphors in Prophecies
|
If the Prophecy about the
Promised Messiah is not
Interpreted Metaphorically, that
would only Prove the
Unreliability of Ahadith
|
3.
Mahdi:
|
In spite of the Weakness and
Discrepancies of the Reports
about Mahdi their
Collective Evidence cannot be
Rejected
|
Common Factors in the Reports
about Mahdi
|
Whether Mahdi will Spread
Islam by the Sword
|
This Wrong Conception was Removed
by the Mahdi himself
|
Messiah and Mahdi are one
|
A Prophecy becomes a Great
Miracle after its Fulfilment
|
The Significance of the Two Names
|
Other Prophecies about
Mahdi
|
Some of the Signs are only in the
Form of Metaphors in the Prophecy
about Mahdi

|
3.
Denial of a Claim to
Prophethood:
|
Strange Resemblance to Jesus
Christ
|
The Reason for Ascribing a Claim
of Prophethood to the Founder
|
The Word Prophet was used only by
way of Metaphor
|
The Claimant to Prophethood was
Accursed and Declared to be a
Kafir (Heretic)
|
As against the Denial of a Claim
to Prophethood there is an
Admittance to the Claim of
Muhaddithiyyat and not of
Prophethood without a Code
|
The Anathema of Heresy (Fatwa
Kufr) was Based on the Claim
of Prophethood without a Code
|
Did he not know the Difference
between a Nabi and a
Muhaddath
|
The Distinguishing
Characteristics between a
Nabi and a
Muhaddath
|
None of the Followers or
Opponents of the Founder has
Proved the Definition of
Muhaddath to be Wrong

Chapter
VI -- Maulana Abul Kalam Azad on
the Ahmadiyyah Movement:
|
Maulana Azad Admitted that the
Founder's Position was
Misunderstood
|
Qadianis Regarded by him as
Erring Muslims
|
Injustice to the Lahore Section
|
Maulana Azad Believed in the
Death of Jesus Christ but did not
Deny the Hadith about the Coming
Messiah
|
By Accepting the Founder as the
Coming Messiah in the Form of a
Mujaddid no New Belief has
been Created
|
Chapter
VII -- Dr. Muhammad Iqbal's
Statement re the Qadianis:
|
Finality of Prophethood is the
Basis of the Solidarity of Islam
|
Dr. lqbal did not Differentiate
between Genuine Prophets and
"Religious Adventurers"
|
The World kept on Waiting for all
the Great Prophets
|
Lahore Section does not Believe
in the Doctrine of the
Continuation of Prophethood
|
Dr. Iqbal's Personal Evidence
that the Founder did not Declare
other Muslims as Kafirs
(Heretics)
|
Qadianis and those Muslims who
Regard Jesus to be Alive do not
Understand the True Significance
of the Finality of Prophethood
|
The Founder Believed that no
prophet, neither New nor Old,
would come After the Prophet
Muhammad
|
The Doctrine of the Coming of
Messiah cannot be Condemned as a
"Jewish Idea"
|
The Founder did not Reject the
Hadith about the Coming Messiah
but only gave it an
Interpretation
|
Declaring Muslims Kafirs
is an Anti-Islamic Practice
|
Comparing Qadianis with Bahais is
Dr. Iqbal's Fundamental Mistake
|
The Ulama of Arabia have
Condemned other Muslim Sects also
as Kafirs
|
Dr. Iqbal's Peculiar Suggestion
about Heresy Law
|
Weapons of Boycott and
Vilification against Ahmadis
|
The Muslim Mystic Saint Mansur
regarded by Dr. Iqbal as a Rebel
and a Religious Adventurer
|
Dr. Iqbal's Views are against the
Quran and Hadith
