Ahmadiyyah Counter Argument:
“No false prophet has lived
passed the span of 23 years”
As I have previously mentioned in my other post that this is a self invented criteria to prove Mirza Ghulam Ahmad truthful by any sense of the word.
If this was a criteria given by the Quran or the Sunnah, indeed no false claimant would have lived passed 23 years. But the false claimants mentioned below are terrible transgressors and yet they have easily lived passed the lifespan of 23 years:
1) Elijah Muhammad, claimed to be a prophet and the second
coming of Jesus a.s. in 1934 and lived on to year 1975.
2) Al Mizra Abbas from Tehran, claimed prophethood in 1233
AH and lived on to year 1818 CE.
3) Saleh son of Tarif Burghwati: Saleh claimed prophethood
and Mahdihood in 125 AH. Ruled over his people for 47 years.
4) Abu Mansoor 'Eessa: Abu Mansoor 'Eessa claimed
prophethood and Mahdihood in 341 AH and ruled over his people for 28
years.
5) Muhammad son of Said: Muhammad son of Said is considered
as one of the four infamous forgers of hadith. He distorted the hadith:
"I am the seal of prophets and there is no prophet after me" by
adding: "unless Allah wills {otherwise}". He is reported to have
drawn his own conclusions from this addition and claimed prophethood for
himself.
6) Jasmin- He appeared in 1998 in Bosnia, claiming the War
of Bosnia and Herzegovina was the Battle of Armageddon, and claims that he
is the Messiah, tasked by God to introduce the human community into the
"golden age", and claims that his destiny has been described under
the symbol and notion of a lamb.
7) Mahmoud Muhammad Taha, who is known as a “Unorthodox
Muslim Reformer” made changes to the shariah under the guise of being a Muslim
Reformer. His spiritual movement still exists today, mostly in regions sought
through asylums.
8) Riyaz Ahmad Gohar Shahi claims that he is
the Mahdi, Messiah and the Kalki avatar. His organization known as
the “Messiah Foundation” exists till today. The death of Riyaz Shahi is however
unknown.
9) Rashid Khalifa from Egypt claimed to be a prophet in 1974
served as an Imam of Arizona Mosque – and was murdered in 1990 (he
however lived 16 years).
10) A splinter sect of Ahmadiyya known as Jamaat ul sahih,
the leader of this jamaat claims to be an "ummati nabi" under the
guidance of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's writings (i guess it is worthwhile to wait 23
years to believe if he is true or not).
