Hazrat Seth Muhammad Ismail Adam Sahibra published a text in Al-Fazal in 1931 regarding the martyrdom of Hazrat Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib regarding the truthfulness of the Promised Messiah (a), which is listed below. Hazrat Seth Sahibra wrote: “In 1893, after seeing articles against the Promised Messiah (a) in urdu newspapers of Punjab, I was drawn to who this sahib is the plaintiff mahdawit and Christianity and what is his teaching. They have claimed that they really claim to be Mahdi Akhir-ul-Zaman and Masih Son of Mary or the newspapers are writing such articles out of enmity. First, I started researching and investigating verbally in my circle of friends. But then he thought that verbal talk would not be satisfied. I’d better look at his works. Therefore, read all the works from Braheen Ahmadiyya to Aina Kamalat Islam through VP. But two and a half years passed due to laziness and negligence in reading these books. Finally, the heart testified that this man was true.

After this, a leader of his own people Kachchi Memon, to whom my father and my other elderly relatives were also associated. Apart from this, some other Muslims from Kathiawar, Sindh, Bombay, etc. were also his followers and I had also met him at the age of 15-16. He used to visit Bombay almost every year and was popularly known as Pir Sai Jhandewale. In late 1895 or early 1896, I wrote a letter to him in Persian, saying, “We are worldly and blind to spiritual eyes, and you are the leader and leader of millions of human beings. Therefore, you should answer on oath whether this Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib Qadiani plaintiff is true in his claim of Mahdawit and Christianity. If you do not answer and they are truthful and we are deprived of guidance, then you are responsible for it in the sight of Allah. And if they are liars and we accept them ignorantly, then the burden of our error is also on your head. He wrote to me about the answer to the question of etiquette:

Martyrdom 1: The rule of our series is that in the middle of maghrib prayer, we do zikr-allah with our disciples, one day when we saw the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in this circle, we asked him who is this person Mirza Ghulam Ahmed, then he replied , ‘I am one of us’. naqal)

Martyrdom 2: Our family says that after Isha prayer, we do not talk to anyone and go to sleep. This is the Sunnah of the Prophet (s). One day in a dream, when we saw the Holy Prophetsa, we asked that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had issued fatwas of disbelief on this person and denied him. naqal)

Martyrdom 3: Our lineage and family are tahajjud-e-jaajar, so we wake up every night at 3 o’clock in the night and lie down on the tahajjud karot after the prayer and recite the morning prayers with the same ablution that this is also the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). One day there was some drowsiness while lying down in the same croat and the Holy Prophetsa came, at that time our condition was between sleep and awakening, so we grabbed your feet and said, “The Prophet (s) left the whole of India and the Scholars of Arabia also gave fatwas of disbelief.” So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said three times in great light, “Ho sadiq ho sadiq ho sadiq” (that is, he is true, he is true, he is true). This is the true testimony that we have. We retired from your oath. It’s your job not to believe. Author Rashid-ud-Din Pir Sahib-ul-Ilm

Then in July or August 1896, I pledged my allegiance to Hazrat Aqdas in writing. Khaksar Ismail Adam by Bombay” (Al-Fadl, December 1, 1931, p. 6)

Martyrdom of Hazrat Mirza Khuda Bakhsh Sahibra

Hazrat Mirza Khuda Bakhsh Sahibra belonged to Jhang city. On March 24, 1889, he pledged allegiance to the Promised Messiah (a) and entered the Ahmadiyya order. After the death of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih al-Awwal, unfortunately, the Jamaat-e-Mubayeen was not associated with the Khilafah and joined the ahl-e-sandesh. He died on April 4, 1938 at the age of 78.

He wrote a voluminous book “Asal Masfa”, which the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) listened to for three months from Maghrib to Isha and expressed happiness. This book is on two shares. Each of the two sections has a total of 1400 pages. He wrote the second part in 1914 in which he has written a testimony regarding the expression of Hazrat Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib. So he wrote: “The fourth sahib is a Sufi Hazrat Pir Sahib-ul-Ilm, who is known as Pir Sahib Jhandewale. He is one of the most influential scholars of Balad Sindh, who has more than 100,000 followers and specializes in Arabic studies and is one of the scholars. When Abdullah Arab asked him about Hazrat Mirza Sahib Masih and Mahdi Muhud, he swore the next day and then wrote a letter in Arabic and sent Abdullah Arab and Abdul Latif to his followers. That old man had also met this humble man at munshi Abdul Haq Sahib accountant’s house in Lahore and I had heard the same incident from his language which I will record next. At that time Hazrat Aqdas had gone to Patiala state. That is why those two elders, Munshi Abdul Haq Sahib Accountant, who had great sincerity from Hazrat Mirza Sahib some time ago, appeared in patiala in the service of The Holy Prophet and presented the letter of Pir Sahib-ul-Ilm, which is as follows. ‘‘

After this, he has included the Arabic letter sent by Hazrat Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib and its translation. This letter contains the words that the Promised Messiah (a) published in his book Hammat al-Bushra. Later, he writes: Then on the second occasion, Seth Saleh Muhammad Sahib, who was a disciple of the young man, asked the mother who had come to his service from him what was the opinion of The Prophet regarding Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib? I know him i.e. Hazrat Mirza Sahib on the truth in my claim and that is what I have come to know through Kashf. This Seth Saleh Muhammad Sahib was a young salih and respected man and the brother of the famous Seth Abdul Rahman Madrasi was real. The mother travelled so far in Sindh and went to the service of Pir Sahib and after inquiring from him, he wrote what Pir Sahib-ul-Ilm had said in Qadian. This testimony has been published a few times in the life of Pir Sahib himself and his letter is also available. Abdullah Arab, Abdul Latif and Seth Saleh Muhammad Sahib are still there who can ask those who have doubts. Sadly, Seth sahib is dead now and Abdullah Arab is not known. (Asal Al-Masfia, Vol. II, pp. 464-466, 1914)

In this letter, Mirza Khuda Bakhsh Sahib has mentioned that Abdullah Arab and Abdul Latif Sahiban munshi Abdul Haq along with the accountant came to the service of the Holy Prophet (a) in Patiala and delivered the letter and message of Hazrat Pir Rashiduddin Sahib. Probably Mirza Khuda Bakhsh Sahib has mentioned Sahwa Patiala because The Promised Messiah (a) has written in Hammat-ul-Bushra that “he came to me at Ferozepur”. Thus, this is supported by a letter written to Hazrat Munshi Rustam Ali Sahibra on November 28, 1893, which he wrote from Ferozepur in those days. In which he informed that I am currently in Ferozepur Cantonment. The reason for the visit was that Hazrat Umm Momineen (ra) first went to Ferozepur to meet her father Majid Hazrat Mir Nasir Nawab Sahibra (who was employed in the Canal Department and was staying in Ferozepur at that time). Later, when the news reached the Promised Messiah (a) that Hazrat Sahibzada Mirza Bashir Ahmad (ra) had fallen ill, he also went to Ferozepur. He stayed there for about twenty-five days and returned on December 14, 1893. (Maktobat Ahmad, Vol. 2, pp. 596, 597)

He went to Ferozepur in the beginning of the last ten days of November. Therefore, he wrote a letter to Hazrat Khalifa Rashid-ud-Din Sahibra on November 28, 1893, in which he mentioned that “this humble person has been in Ferozepur Cantonment for a week. (Maktobat Ahmad, Vol. IV, p. 183)

It appears that during the same days of residence in Ferozepur Cantonment, between November 21 and December 14, each of the above mentioned two friends would have taken a letter from Hazrat Pir Rashiduddin Sahib.

Testimony of an elderly man from Sindh

On January 6, 1956, a meeting was held in Nawabshah in Al-Fazal. This meeting was held on December 11, 1955 in Nawabshah district of Mohammadnagar. It is mentioned in the report that Maulana Ghulam Ahmed Farrukh Sahib preacher series during his speech in this meeting mentioned that Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib-ul-Ilm had confirmed the Promised Messiah (a) through Kashf. So during his speech, a 70-year-old friend named Qazi Sher Mohammad Sahib, whose name is the nation, Suktiyu Sukna Goth Mangi Taluka Skarand District Nawabshah (located on Goth Pir Jhandup 15 Miles from Skarand) stood up. He testified that the incident of Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib’s Kashf is absolutely correct. And I myself am a witness that the Caliph of Pir Sahib narrated this incident himself in our school, Chhatan Shah. Cursed be the one who lies. I am ready to give this true evidence everywhere. It is mentioned in the report of the meeting that hearing this testimony had a profound effect on the audience. (Al-Fadl, January 6, 1956, p. 4)

Later, Maulana Ghulam Ahmed Farrukh also published a detailed written testimony of the friend in Akhbar-ul-Fazl. Therefore, on January 18, 1957, under the title “Further confirmation of the martyrdom of Syed Rashiduddin Sahib, the famous elder of Sindh”, this testimony was published as follows:

“I am Qazi Sher Muhammad, son of Usman, a resident of Sheikhu Mangyu, who said that it was about sixty years ago that I used to study at Mian Ali Khan Sahib Nation Lakha in Village Chhatan Shah Tehsil Sakarand District Nawabshah. That one day he came to the newspaper ‘Ul Haq’ from Sukkur. In which it was written that a person in Qadian Punjab is claiming to be Mirza Ghulam Ahmed, Qadiani Imam Mahdi and Promised Messiah. There were a lot of people sitting there at that time. After reading the newspaper, Haji Abul Khair Mangi, who was the Caliph of Sayyid Rashid-ud-Din Sahib-ul-Ilm. “I have come to know from my mentor that Mirza Sahib Qadiani (a) is indeed on the truth. So once when Pir Sahib went to Bombay, one of his disciples Adamji brought his son Ismail to Pir Sahib and said that make him his murid. Pir Sahib turned his hand on his head and said that he would be a follower of a person who would be higher than us in rank and status. Therefore, Pir Sahib did not make him a mureed. Shortly afterwards, Ismail Adam wrote a letter to Pir Sahib that a man in Qadian in Punjab was claiming to be Mahdi and the Promised Messiah. Tell him whether he is on the right or not. Pir Sahib replied that he was absolutely true.

The above statement which I have written is absolutely true and I swear by Allah that allah’s curse and wrath should be sent down on the liar. Khaksar Sher Mohammad s/o Muhammad Usman Sathio Sukna Sheikhu Mangyu Taluka Sakarand District Nawabshah. December 12, 1955″ (Al-Fadl, January 18, 1957, p. 5)

Testimony of Hazrat Seth Abdul Rahman Sahib Madrasi

Hazrat Seth Abdul Rahman Sahibra was the eye-witness of a well-known business family of Madras who came to know about the claim of the Holy Prophet (s) through the book “Fateh-e-Islam” of the Promised Messiah (as). Therefore, he went to Qadian in the company of Hazrat Maulvi Hasan Ali Sahib Bhagalpuri and got the privilege of taking allegiance on January 11, 1894.

Just a few lines ago, in the testimony of Qazi Sher Muhammad Sahib, an elderly man of Sindh, it was mentioned that his teacher came to a magazine named ‘Ul Haq’, in which pir sahib was mentioned about the confirmation of the Jhande Sharif people. Therefore, the same magazine ‘Ul Haq’ has also been mentioned by Hazrat Seth Abdul Rahman Sahib Madrasi in one of his writings that the confirmation of Pir Sahib-ul-Ilm mentioned in this magazine also led to his acceptance of the truth. Thus, he narrates the story of ahmadiyyat and writes, “At night I prayed to Allah that I have decided that now you know the world of the unseen and know better, provide what is best for me.” In the morning, after having breakfast as usual, he came out of the house and sat on the platform, at the same time the postman came and gave a letter and a magazine with him. When I opened this magazine, I first noticed the heading which was named ‘Heavy News’ and the subject was the incident of Pir Sahib with its flag and the presence of Caliph Abdul Latif and Abdullah Arab in the Holy Prophet. So after that, my resolve was fulfilled. (Maktobat Ahmadiyya, Vol. 5, Part I, p. 48, Daily Al-Fadl, December 19, 2005, p. 4, Column 2, 1)

Opposition’s series of objections and its response

The opponents of the series object that the mention in the literature of the Ahmadiyya series that Hazrat Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib had testified to the truthfulness of the Promised Messiah (a) is sheer slander and fabricated. Let’s take a closer look at this.

1894: Hammat-ul-Bushra was published in which Hazrat Aqdas (as) mentioned the testimony of Pir Sahib.

1894: In the magazine “Al-Haq”, a mention of the confirmation of Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib was published, about which there is the testimony of the two elders mentioned earlier.

1896: The Promised Messiah (a) wrote about the confirmation of Pir Sahib al-Ilm in the appendix of his book “Anjam Atham”.

In 1897, Hazrat Maulvi Hasan Ali Sahib Bhagalpuri, in his book “Samarat-e-Haq”, mentioned pir Rashid-ud-din Sahib’s kashf and consequently the news of The Promised Messiah (a) and Haji Abdullah Arab Sahib coming to Qadian and conveying the message of Pir Sahib.

May 1899: “Siraj Munir” was published in which the Promised Messiah (a) mentioned the letter written by Pir Sahib-ul-Ilm.

March 10, 1900: Akhbar-ul-Hukm published pir sahib-ul-ilm’s letter and announcement regarding Kashf.

December 15, 1900: The Promised Messiah (a) mentioned the dream of Pir Sahib-ul-Ilm in his book Arbaeen.

April 30, 1907: The Promised Messiah (a) mentions the kashf of Pir Sahib-ul-Ilm in “Haqeeqat-ul-Wahi”.

1914: Hazrat Mirza Khuda Bakhsh Sahibra in his book ‘Asal Masfa (Part II)’ mentioned the letter of Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib and his meeting with Abdullah Arab Sahib and Haji Abdul Latif Sahib.

A: Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib died in 1317 AH (1899 AD) at the age of 61. The Promised Messiah (a) had clearly mentioned pir sahib’s testimony and testimony in his three books during his lifetime. Hazrat Maulvi Hasan Ali Sahib Bhagalpuri’s book ‘Samarat-e-Haq’ was also published in his lifetime. Similarly, the announcement regarding Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib’s letter and Kashf had been published in The Magazine-ul-Haq and Hazrat Pir Sahib was still alive at that time.

On the one hand, the books of the Holy Prophet (a) were read throughout India, on the other hand, pir sahib’s followers were also spread all over India. Therefore, not only Pir Sahib-ul-Ilm, but none of his followers denied in any newspaper or magazine that the claim of the Promised Messiah (a) regarding Pir Sahib is based on slander.

Moreover, after the successive publications of the confirmation of Hazrat Pir Sahib, the opposing scholars must have come to the service of Pir Sahib and tried to persuade him that if they could not deny the letter written, then at least express doubts about Kashf, but Hazrat Pir Sahib did not deny it. There is conclusive evidence that not only Hazrat Pir Sahib has the honor of being one of the former al-Awwalun and as a result of divine news, he used to consider the Promised Messiah (a) as a sincere god and did not have any doubt about it.

B: In 1896, the Promised Messiah (a) also mentioned pir sahib’s son in the appendix that he also said, “When my father confirms, I also do not deny.” After the death of Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib, his son Sayyid Abu Turab Rashdullah Shah Rashidi pir Sahib-ul-Ilm IV ascended the throne and he died on April 23, 1923. At the time of his ascension, the Holy Prophet (a) mentioned the testimony of Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib in “Arbaeen” and “Haqeeqat-ul-Wahi”. Syed Arshadullah Shah Rashidi sahib lived for sixteen years after the last mention mentioned by the Promised Messiah (a) mentioned in Haqeeqat-ul-Wahi in 1907, but like his father, there is no mention of a single denial from the son that he has mentioned that at least this should not be attributed to me. Therefore, on the basis of all these things, it is proved that Allah almighty gave Hazrat Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib the ability to believe in the time and give true testimony with great courage. Alhamdulillah

Mention of Imam Mahdi in the words of Hazrat Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib

As the Promised Messiah (a) said, Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib specialized in Arabic sciences and was one of the scholars. His father also had knowledge of Arabic and religious studies. Reading his writings and writings, it is understood that this family was waiting for someone in this period according to the prophecies of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib’s grandfather, Pir Muhammad Rashid Sahib, wrote in his famous Sindhi verse:

Translation: “Send to my beloved land a hadi who honors Islam and through whom the darkness is removed.”

O Prophet! The risk of Yajuj and Majuj has increased. Everyone went on going, now send a leader who is a man.

There is a noise in the world. I wish someone would tie the rope of religion.

Your whole nation is thirsty for a long time. O my beloved, give me jam. (Quoted in The Book of Sindhi: Hazrat Pir Muhammad Rashid Rude Dhani and his scholarly literary and spiritual services, author Khan Muhammad Ladak, Vol. 1, 2008, Published in Fine Communication, Publisher, Roshani Publication, Hyderabad, p. 221)

Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib had a place not only in prose but also in poetry. He writes in one of his Sindhi poems:

Translation: Sayyid al-Konin is the leader of all the worlds.

Whose deputy and caliph is the leader.

If a man ponders, it is the religion of the Giver.

That after thirteen centuries, this ummah has been blessed.

(Manzoom Kalam Pir Rashid-ud-Din, Sindhi Kitab Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sain Baiat Dhani Ki Kafian, First Edition, 2001, Publisher Pir Wahbullah Shah Rashidi, Printing Press Sindhi Literary Board Jamshoro, pp. 15, 16)

His son, Syed Shadullah Sahib, said, “I asked Murshid Karim Syed Rashid-ud-Din, what is your opinion about the fact that today’s scholars say that Ijtihad is now closed. He said, “I have received a message from the master that ijtihad will not stop until there is a difference of opinion.” He said that before the appearance of Imam Mahdi, there will be no difference of opinion nor ijtihad will be stopped. (Malfuzat Pir Sai Bai’at Dhani Pir Rashiduddin Shah III Jhande Waru, Publisher Pir Wahbullah Shah Rashidi, Memorial Printing Press Lane Hyderabad, p. 227)

Similarly, it is mentioned in the writings of Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib that once Pir Rashiduddin Sahib asked his disciples to do some work, they delayed the work. He expressed displeasure and said, “We will do the same in the battle of Imam Mahdi.” (Malfuzat Pir Sai Bai’at Dhani Pir Rashiduddin Shah III Jhande Waru, Publisher Pir Wahbullah Shah Rashidi, Memorial Printing Press Lane Hyderabad, p. 163)

Some of the above references indicate that Hazrat Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib was anxious for the arrival of Imam Mahdi, due to which he repeatedly urged his disciples and children to pledge allegiance to Imam Al-Mahdi (a) and enter his army. Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib’s memoirs on the waiting of Imam Mahdi contain some more references.

Recently, Khaksar had the opportunity to visit the tomb of Hazrat Pir Rashiduddin Sahib and pray. It was pleasantly surprising that Even after his death, God has kept his grave safe from any kind of innovation or shirk. There are some graves in the small four-walled compound. According to the tradition of this family, none of the graves have been stoned and the graves have not been highlighted. There is only a flat bulge on the grave so that it can be known that it is a grave. Similarly, your grave has not been made a source of any kind of income nor is urs held there. Pir Rashid-ud-Din Sahib is in a clean environment in both outward and spiritual terms.

The Imam of truth testified that he believed in time.

There was no danger of musnad, nor fear of the people of the world.

Murid Pak Mahdi was the knowledgeable Rashid al-Din
