Intro
Per Ahmadiyya sources, MGA and his team began writing this book in 1900, as his beef with Pir Mehr Ali Shah ended. Per Muhammad Ali in 1915, this book was published on September 1, 1902. This book was in Urdu with some brief Arabic, it ran for 254 pages and was published from the Diya’ul-Islam Press, Qadian, the original edition had barely 40 words per page, this was how they extended the number of pages in those days. In English the title translates as ‘Gift for Golarvi”. Also spelled as Golarviah and Tohfa Golarviak. In this book, MGA asserts that the Messiah was supposed to come exactly 1400 years after Muhammad (saw), he even quotes Nawab Siddiq Hassan Khan‘s famous book and his assertions that the Mahdi was coming soon. There is also an appendix, we aren’t sure when this appendix was added. Tohfa-e-Golarwiyah comprises of RK, v. 17, pages 35-340, which includes the Appendix/Supplement on pages 35-86, pages 87-340 are the main book. This book starts with an appendix, which is weird. In the main body of the book Mirza Ghulam Ahmad argues, based on the Quran and Hadeeth, that Jesus has died and that the Promised Messiah was to appear from among the Muslims. In the appendix he argues that he is the Promised Messiah. MGA also gives his GOD a new name in this book, the famous Yalash [See Tohfah Golarhviyyah, p. 69 footnote, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 17, pp. 203–204, footnote](See Also, the 2009 online english edition of Tadhkirah). Tofha Golarviyya is in RK-17, as the second book.
Feel free to watch Shams-uddin’s video on this topic herein. Yuz Asaf and the injeel is also quoted in this book. In October of 2021, Saleem Mir said that when MGA quoted Swane Yuz Asaf (see at the 1:44:44 mark), he was really referring to “Barlaam and Josaphat”. Bro Imtiaz caught the Ahmadiyya Movement deliberately changing the text on page 64 (See 5:44:52 time stamp).
It should be noted that in 1900-1902, via Tohfa Golarvia, (See pages 256 and 263, also posted in the below, check Bro Imtiaz’s video herein)(2:38:52 timestamp), MGA argued that Muhammad (Saw) died and his mission was incomplete (naozobillah) and required a Baruz to come and complete the mission. MGA says that Muslims must accept that there are 2 comings of Muhammad (Saw)(MGA inferring himself as the second coming)(40:34 time stamp). MGA says that it’s really sad that the common people and Islamic scholars have no idea about the concept of Buruz (26:19 time stamp). MGA says that the Sufi saints knew about Buruz. Some of these Sufi’s believe that saints can return into this world in a Buruzi form. In other words, the ruh (soul) of a dead saint, can come into the body of person. MGA says that 100 years after the death of Bayazid Bastami, his ruh (soul), came into the body of Abu al-Hassan al-Kharaqani. MGA says that his belief is agreed upon and accepted by all (Maqbool and Mussulum). MGA says even with all of this, some stupid people deny the concept of Buruz in the return of Eisa (as). MGA called this the sunnah of Allah. Thus, people who don’t understand this, simply don’t understand the philosophy of a Buruzi return, i.e., the ruh of a dead person coming down and residing in a new human being, this is called Buruz. MGA also argued that Eisa (as) had failed in his mission. Bro Imtiaz explains (See 38:35 time stamp) how MGA wrote in “Tohfa Golarvia” (page 284), when the last part of the 6th millennium will be left, the ruh of Eisa (as) will arrive on ground (earth, zameen in Urdu). MGA says the concept of Buruz is Maqbool and Mussulum (agreed upon by all)(52:42 time stamp).
In Oct-2025, during a debate (at 11:14), Bro Imtiaz presented, RK-18, pages 214-215, and how MGA wrote that “Khataman Nabiyeen” is now an “elahi mohr” (spiritual stamp) which has been affixed to the prophethood of Muhammad (Saw)(naozobilla) and this can never break. MGA says that Muhammad (saw) can now come back into this world 1000’s of times in a baroozi coloring. Bro Imtiaz explains that this has to do with imkan. At 12:43, Bro Imtiaz quotes Mirza Bashir Ahmad giving commentary on this issue of “zilli Nabi” in 1915 (page 116, Urdu ROR aka Kalimatul Fasl). Mirza Bashir Ahmad argued that a “Zilli Nabi” must gain all of the attributes (kamalat) of Muhammad (Saw) first, then he will be called Muhammad (Saw)(naozobillah).
In 1902, MGA and his team quoted Nawab Siddiq Hassan Khan‘s book, “Hujaj al Kiramah” and alleged that that Ibn Arabi wrote that the Messiah would be called a Kafir (See Al-Hakam, vol. 6, no. 44, dated 10 December 1902, pp. 1-2, Via Malfuzat-4, online English edition, pages 143 and 145).
