Intro
My team and I have across some interesting information in terms of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and 17:8 of the Quran (17:9 in the Qadiani Quran). The Urdu reference for this is RK, vol. 1, page 601, this most likely corresponds to the original edition of Braheen e Ahmadiyya vol. 4. The 1988 edition of RK will have a different page number. The reference appears in the online english edition of Braheen e Ahmadiyya, vol. 4, page 382. Furthermore, Zahid Aziz, a Lahori-Ahmadi has discussed this entire issue herein.
Other Quranic verses that MGA claimed for himself in 1884 are as follow: 48:28, 61:09, 9:32, 21:107, 10:16 and 48:29. It should be noted that in the online english edition, this verse isn’t properly quoted by the Qadiani’s, nor do they acknowledge it as a verse of the Quran.
See Farid Responds explaining this at 3:04 time stamp, after alleging that he (MGA) is like the prophets. MGA alleges to have gotten a revelation from his God which is in reality 17:8 of the Quran (17:9 in the Kadian Koran). MGA then asserts that this verse is actually a prophet about the return of “Hadrat Maseeh”. However, after 1891, MGA never made this argument again, in fact, NO Ahmadi commentary ever used this explanation (Lahori or Qadiani). A few pages later, on page 398 (of BA-4), MGA quoted 3:55 (3:56 in the Kadiani Koran) and argued that that Inni-Mutawafeeka (3:55), wa Raffa, as: I shall give you full reward and shall raise you towards Me. However, on page 434, MGA translates the same verse as:
“””O ‘Isa, I shall give you full reward or cause you to die and shall raise you towards Me, meaning that I shall raise your status or will raise you from the life on earth towards Me, and I shall
grant predominance to your followers over those who disbelieve, until the Day of Judgment”””.
In 1890-ish, MGA claimed to be “Maseel-e-Maseeh” only (See Izala Auham, Part-1). A few months later, he claimed to be the Messiah.
In 1892, MGA confessed that before the publishing of the Barahin i Ahmadiyya series, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad already knew that he was the second coming of Esa (as).
In 1902, (Via Noah’s Ark, page 81), MGA admitted that he was confused on being Eisa (as) aka the promised messiah in the 1880’s. It was a secret.
MGA confirmed all of this again in 1906-1907 (via Haqiqatul Wahi), MGA admitted that he believed that Eisa (as) was alive in the 1880’s and he misunderstood it and instead claimed to be “Maseel-e-Maseeh” instead.
This was also confirmed in 1947 (see Dard explaining the same)._____________________________________________________________________________________________17:8 states:
“””””””””””””””””””””It may be that your Lord will now have mercy on you; but if you return to your previous state, We too will return, and We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.”””””””””””””””””””
______________________________________________________________________________________________ The quotation from the Urdu Barahin-i Ahmadiyya, vol. 4, is as follows:
See, Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya, vol. 4, online edition, page 382
‘asā rabbu-kum an yarḥama ‘alai-kum wa in ‘ud-tum ‘ud-nā wa ja‘al-nā jahannama lil-kāfirīna ḥaṣīra.
“””””””””””””””””””””It may be that your Lord will now have mercy on you; but if you return to your previous state, We too will return, and We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.”””””””””””””””””””
The urdu scan
_____________________________________________________________________________________________MGA was trying to quote 17:8 as he projected it onto himself
17:8 actually says:
‘asā rabbu-kum an yarḥama-kum wa in ‘ud-tum ‘ud-nā wa ja‘al-nā jahannama lil-kāfirīna ḥaṣīra (17:8)
“””””””””””””””””””””It may be that your Lord will now have mercy on you; but if you return to your previous state, We too will return, and We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.”””””””””””””””””””
_______________________________________________________________________________________________What are the difference between the two?
Just that the quotation in Barahin-i Ahmadiyya reads yarḥama ‘alai-kum while the verse in the Quran reads yarḥama-kum. The extra ‘alai in Barahin-i Ahmadiyya means ‘on’, while in the verse of the Quran the same ‘on’ is understood. Every English translation of the Quran renders the first part of this verse using “on”, as in : “It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you” (Pickthall).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________The same verse, (17:8) quoted by MGA in his later books
It may be added that the same ilham has been written by MGA sahib in two later books. In both of these its wording is exactly that of the verse of the Quran (‘asā rabbu-kum an yarḥama-kum …). See the book Arba‘in number 2, published 1900 (Ruhani Khaza’in, v. 17, p. 352, lines 7-8) and the book Haqiqat-ul-Wahy, published 1907 (Ruhani Khaza’in, v. 22, p. 85, lines 11-16).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________MGA connected 17:8 with the return of the Messiah
Just beneath the revelation, MGA gives his commentary:
“””This verse here indicates the glorious coming of Hadrat Masih. That is to say that if [people] would not accept [the divine message] through mildness, gentleness, kindness, and graciousness and would rebel against the truth that has been made manifest through conclusive arguments and manifest Signs, then a time is about to come when God Almighty would treat the sinners with severity, sternness, wrath, and harshness. And Hadrat Masih, may peace be on him, would descend in the world with great glory and would cleanse all paths and roads of rubbish, and no trace of the perverted and the crooked would remain [in the world], and divine glory would obliterate the seed of misguidance through its severe manifestation.”””
In the same book, 60 pages forward, MGA asserts that Esa (as) is dead
________________________________________________________________________________________________Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya, Vol-4, page 434
MGA writes out a revelation that he claims came from his GOD to him, this revelation that MGA received is actually 3:55 of the Quran. MGA claimed over 30+ revelations from his God which were actually verses of the Quran, this behavior of MGA caused him to be declared as a Kafir by the ulema.
یا عیسٰی انی متوفیك و رافعك اليَّ )و مطھرك من الذین كفروا( 2۔ وجاعل الذین اتبعوك
فوق الذین كفروا الٰی یوم القیٰمة۔ ثلۃ من الاولین و ثلۃ من الاٰخرين۔
“”O ‘Isa, I shall give you full reward or cause you to die and shall raise you towards Me, meaning that I shall raise your status or will raise you from the life on earth towards Me, and I shall
grant predominance to your followers over those who disbelieve, until the Day of Judgment.””
