Intro
In 1889, MGA didn’t claim to be the Mahdi, nevertheless, MGA began taking bait from his silly followers.
In MGA’s first two books of 1891, “Victory of Islam” and “Elucidation of Objectives” he never mentioned anything about any Mahdi coming. 7 years earlier, in Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya (1884), vol. 4, MGA began to assert that he was related to Fatima, MGA even claimed that he saw a vision or had a dream wherein he put his head on Fatima’s thigh. MGA would use this later on in 1901 when he claimed prophethood. MGA proved that when he fabricated this dream/vision in 1883-1884, he was planning to claim to be the Mahdi later on.
In 1890-1891, via Izala Auham (RK-3, P-379), MGA claimed that many Mahdi’s had already appeared and many more could appear. MGA argued that all the hadith on the Mahdi were fake. MGA only authenticated one hadith on the Mahdi, and that was Eisa (as)=Mahdi. However, MGA was twisting this hadith, the hadith only meant that Eisa (as) will be guided (Mahdi). In 1890-1891, via Izala Auham, MGA and his team of writers alleged that as far as the researchers are concerned (Great Muslim scholars), the coming of the Mahdi is not certain (See Izala-e-Auham, RK vol.3 p.344 and Bro Imtiaz, 2:34:25).
In 1892, on the cover page of Nishan e Asmani (Heavenly Signs), MGA wrote that he was the Mahdi of the age/era. This is how MGA made his claim of being the Mahdi. He also claimed that “a Mahdi” was prophecied to appear in the 14th century.
In 1893, via his book Shahadatul Quran, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad willfully misattributed a hadith to the Prophet (peace be upon him) via al-Bukhari (See pages 65-66). MGA and his team of writers boldly claimed that there was a hadith from Muhammad (saw) and authenticated into Sahih Bukhari which claimed that in the latter days a Khalifa will emerge and he will be accompanied with a voice from heaven which would say to the effect that this is the هٰذا خَلِیْفَۃُ اللِّٰ الْمَھْدِيّ [This is God’s Khalifah, the Guided One (Mahdi)]. However, this is a total lie, there is no such sahih hadith in any collection. Also, in Shahadatul Quran (pages 131-132, online English edition) and at 2:31:55, Bro Imtiaz explains how MGA and his team of writers alleged in Shahadatul Quran, that MGA said that his true religion, his authentic religion, for which people are declaring me a Kafir, i.e., MGA’s belief that NO ONE is coming to be the Mahdi, it is the Promised Messiah which has come.
In 1894, after Fateh Masih urged MGA to claim to be the Mahdi based on the double eclipses of 1894, MGA and his team of writers authenticated a dubious shia hadith and now claimed that there was now only 2 authentic hadith on the Mahdi. However, MGA errored and claimed that these eclipses had never happened before in the history of human history.
In 1897, when MGA was apprised that these happen every 22 years, MGA and his team of writers changed their arguments.
In 1898, viaTohfaa-e-Qaysariyyah (RK, v. 12, p. 264), MGA and his team of writers wrote that my jamaat is a loyal army for the British Government. This Mahdi will not be involved in any armed conflict against the British government.
In 1898, Bro Imtiaz explained (2:42:30) how MGA and his team of writers argued that the truth is, from the progeny of Fatima, there is NO mahdi coming and all of those hadith are fabricated (See Kashf-ul-Ghita’, RK, v-14, page 193).
In 1901 (See page 13, “Correction of an Error”), MGA was claiming to be from the family of Muhammad (saw) via Fatima (ra).
In the 1899-1902 era, MGA called himself the Last Mahdi (Tiryaqul Qulub, RK-15, p. 477-479. In the same book, (Tiryaqul Qulub RK-15 page, 145), MGA alleged that many hadith explicitly and openly praise the British Government and call it a peacemaker because MGA alleges that the Messiah was supposed to be born within it (See Imtiaz, 43:46 timestamp).
In 1900-1902, via Tohfah Golarviah, RK, v-17, page 209, MGA and his team argued that MGA was the last Khalifa (akhree Khalifa) in the Muhammadi system. However, through my fathers lineage I am not from the Quraish (See Bro Imtiaz, 2:41:11).
In 1908, via Chasma e Marifat (page 2), MGA and his team of writers/editors argued that Mahdi is just a title for the Messiah (See Bro Imtiaz, 2:22:34).
However, after MGA died, in Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya vol.5 (published in October of 1908), Noorudin denied all hadith on the Mahdi and thus contradicted MGA’s arguments in 1901 and 1902 (see page 478). MGA even said that he is not the Mahdi from the famous hadith about the Mahdi being from the lineage of Fatima (see page 478).
In 2025 (Jul-12), Bro Imtiaz explained MGA’s claim of the Mahdi (mostly 2:32:00 onwards).
In 2026 (1:55:29 time stamp onwards), Bro Imtiaz explained how Mirza Tahir Ahmad totally lied about MGA’s claim of being the Mahdi. Bro Imtiaz pointed out how Mirza Tahir Ahmad lied about 3 things in this conversation, Mirza Tahir Ahmad lied when he said that MGA claimed to be the Mahdi in 1889, that Muslims demanded a heavenly sign from MGA, that Muslims said if they see a heavenly sign, they will accept MGA.
