Intro
Factually, the Quran proves that prophets had been killed, see 2:61, 2:87, 2:91, 3;21, 3:112, 3:144, 3:181, 3:183, 4:155, 5:70 (that’s 10 verses) in fact, 3;144 of the Quran tells us that even if Muhammad (saw) was killed, it wouldn’t mean Islam is false.
In 1880-1882, via Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya (Vol. 3, see pages 157-158)(See also Farid Responds, prophecy #4, 6:38 time stamp), MGA said that since the Jews killed the prophets, they are forever cursed and will never have a homeland. Watch my video explanation here.
MGA mentioned the prophet Yahya (as) a few times in his writings. We have cataloged those instances in the below, it should be noted that MGA called Yahya (As) as a shaheed in 1891. However, 6-7 years later MGA began quoting 69:44 and arguing that prophets have never been killed (See Anjam-e-Athim).
In 1893, MGA mentioned Yahya (as) in “Barakatud Du‘a”, “Blessings of Prayer”, page 48. MGA made a comment that Allah Yahya (as) a boy.
In 1897-1900, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad invented the 23-year theory for Prophets, via opinion on 69:44. MGA argued that if anyone claimant of prophethood lives 23 years, then, they must be accepted as a true prophet (See the full ref in the below). MGA was arguing that true prophets of Allah were never killed, however, this is incorrect, per 2:61, 2:87, 2:91, 3;21, 3:112, 3:144, 3:181, 3:183, 4:155, 5:70 (that’s 10 verses).
In 1902, MGA contradicted himself and said (See Tohfa Golarvia, RK volume 17 page 103), he says death by killing of a prophet is no proof that the prophet is not a true prophet and then on same page later he says if Esa did not die on cross then Yahya (as) also did not get killed but was lifted up to heaven alive.
Allegedly, in 1907, via Malfuzat-9 (published in 2024)(this is undated and might not be in the Urdu editions), MGA called Yahya (as) as a shaheed and even compared his qatal with the qatal of Syed Ahmad in Kashmir by the Sikhs and MGA’s father, Mirza Ghulam Murtaza.
However, in 2000, Mirza Tahir Ahmad (MTA) denied that Yahya (as) was killed and even asserted that he escaped and lived in Greece and died, however, MTA didn’t give any references (See on tiktok and twitter).
In 2021, in shameful way, Mirza Masroor Ahmad alleged that prophets had been killed and this rule only applies to the first or last prophet in a system or if Allah gave them a wahi about protection.
In 2024, Bro Imtiaz talks about Yahya (as) as Khusoorun (6:11:45 time stamp)(3:39, 3:40 in the Qadiani Quran) as he authenticated the biblical narrative that Eisa (as) drank alcohol/wine (astagfarullah). MGA was disrespecting Eisa (as) and saying that Yahya (as) was better than him based on the Quran (astagfarullah)(See also “Dafi-ul-Bala”, page-3, online english edition).
In 2025, Bro Imtiaz highlighted all of this in this video.

IZALA AUHAM PART 1 PAGES 9 ONWARD RK Vol-3, page 104-105
Replying to the allegations of using bad language against hindu, christians and muslim opponents, Mirza Ghulam Qadiani says if his language is considered as the abusive language then all the Quraan is full of swears. (NAUZUBILLAH Min Zalik.)
Mirza says the language of Isa a.s was harshest of all other prophets. Mirza says Isa a.s. used words like bastards, prostitute, pig, son of bitch, etc etc for his opponents. Similarly, Yahya a.s. also used abusive language against his opponents who were noble chiefs which resulted in his death of beheading. (Nauzubillah).

“”In accordance with Sayyid Sahib’s principle, Hadrat Yahya should always have remained a boy, because God Almighty has called him a boy and this [according to Sayyid Sahib] constitutes a promise. There can be countless other examples, but it will only be a waste of time to indulge in them. If, according to Sayyid Sahib, the mention of the current state of affairs becomes a mandatory promise for all times to come, then people should beware of him, for he might any time start accusing people on the same basis—taking every statement as an eternal promise.”””

“If you become shameless you can say anything but the fact of the matter is that Maseeh (Jesus) was not more pious than the righteous people of that period. Rather the Prophet Yahya (John) is superior to Maseeh because he did not drink alcohol and it was never heard that an unchaste woman came and anointed him with perfume of her unchaste earning or touched his body with her hands and hair. Or some non-mahram young women came to his service. That is the reason God called Yahya in Quran as Husoor (chaste) but He did not use such a name for Maseeh as such stories were prohibitive to name him so. Further, Hazrat Isa (AS) repented for his sins at the hands of Yahya who is called John by Christians and was made Elijah later on.”

In tohfa golveria RK volume 17 page 103, he says death by killing of a prophet is no proof that the prophet is not a true prophet and then on same page later he says if Esa did not die on cross then Yahya (as) also did not get killed but was lifted up to heaven alive.

Mawahibur-Rahman : “(مواهب الرحمن، ص 60-61)” denying that jesus-as had any child:
”The fact that Jesus had no father and NO child is a proof of what has been conclusively stated … and the birth of Yahya without any touch from the human powers, so was the birth of Jesus without the father and their death without leaving the heirs is a sign of this incident”.
