Mysteries
Unravelled
Thus ended an eventful life
which in the short space of eighteen years - 1890 to 1908 -
not only had revolutionised many of the existing religious
ideas but had even taken definite steps in an entirely new
direction - the presenting of Islam to, and the spiritual
conquest of, the West. Deep religious mysteries which had
baffled human minds for centuries had been unravelled. The
second advent of Christ, the tribulation of the Anti-Christ,
the prevalence of Gog and Magog, the coming of the Mahdi and
similar other topics were mysteries which affected the two
great religions of the world, Christianity and Islam, both
contending for the mastery of the world, and an inspired man
was indeed needed to lift the veil from the face of these
mysteries. Such a man was Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. He was gifted
not only with inspiration to elucidate the deepest
mysteries, but also with the faith and energy which enabled
him to give a new direction to the dissemination of Islam,
which had hitherto found the West deaf to its message.
Christianity was out to conquer the Muslim world; in
temporal matters it had ousted Islam, but in the spiritual
domain, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad made a bold start and gave a
challenge to Christianity in its very home. It is as a
result of that challenge that mosques are being built in the
great centres of Christianity, that a vital change is being
brought about in the attitude of Europe towards Islam, and
that thousands of cultured and advance Europeans are finding
a haven of peace under its banner.
