Ahmadiyya Counter Argument:
"If the Promised Messiah was
a false prophet, he would have died before the period of 23 years”.
According to Mirza Ghulam
Ahmad himself:
"Since the beginning of
the world there never was any example of even a single person who got, '23
years like our chief the Holy Prophet (S) and who was wrong in his claim of
getting revelation from God..If you find a person, who claims, to be sent by God
and if it is proved that 23 years had passed since the claim of receiving the
revelation from God.. then you should believe that he is from God".
In reality:
The criteria of judging a
prophet’s truthfulness should be very concise and something through which the
prophet can readily be judged true or false. If 23 years is indeed the
criteria to judge a prophet, then there’s no way a prophet should be accepted
immediately or within any range of years that is short of 23 years. Why didn’t
all Ahmadis wait 23 years to see if Mirza Ghulan Ahmad was true or not before accepting him as a prophet?
"This self-invented standard
of the truth or falsity of the claim of prophethood is very amusing. Let us
suppose, a man heard our Holy Prophet (S) proclaiming his prophethood in the
beginning and said that he would wait 23 years to see whether Muhammad (saw) survived
that period or not, do you think he would have been excused and pardoned by
God? And what if he himself died during the life-time of the Holy Prophet without
accepting Islam? What a rubbish!
And remember that many true prophets had been 'killed within one, two or three years of their prophethood. What would have been the position if someone, during the prophethood of Prophet Yahya (John), refused to believe in him, saying that as he did not live 23 years he was, God forbid, a liar".
