Intro
62:3 (“And [to] others of them who have not yet joined them. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.”— Saheeh International, وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا۟ بِهِمْ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٣) of the Quran only means that the Muhammad’s message is universal (See Tafsir ibn Kathir) and thus all people of Earth can become Muslims. Ibn Kathir’s famous Quranic commentary even quotes the famous hadith (which Ahmadi’s also quote) and explains how it refers to all non-Arabs who will eventually believe in the truth of the Prophet, nothing more and nothing less. The non-Arabs would even be able to reach the heights of islamic, even if it was as far as the Ath-Thurayya (Pleiades). Further, there is a famous hadith from Bukhari wherein Muhammad (Saw) explains this hadith and says had faith reached the Pleiades, even non arabs could reach it, however, MGA purposely mis-translated this hadith to mean, “bring it down”. Akber Choudhry as fully explained it here in this video. Akber explains how the word “Lau na La who” means, “can reach it”, he also explains how MGA changed it to mean, “bring it down”.
In 1880-1881, MGA argued in Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya V-3 (see page 213) that NO prophet could ever equal Muhammad (saw) in holy excellences.
In 1882, in the Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya Vol. 3, MGA asserted to have been given a divine revelation wherein his God told him, “”Had faith ascended to the Pleiades he would have reached there and brought it down.”” (See page 212, online english edition), thus, MGA was laying the groundwork for his all of his claims.
In 1884, in the BA-4 (see page 373), MGA gets revelations about if faith ascended to the pleiades, he would bring it down.
In 1891, in MGA’s book, Fath-e-Islam (Victory of Islam), however, in all of these instances MGA was only using this verse and hadith to assert that he was a reformer.
By 1891, MGA and his team of writers were asserting that this hadith should be translated as: “will descend with it to the earth”. It should also be noted that Ibn Kathir quotes a Hadith about the prophet SAW mentioning all the men and women from his ummah entering Jannah without being questioned, then quoting the verse “wa aakhareena…” (62:3) and the Hadith explains that this refers to all the remaining ones from among the ummah that will enter into Jannah (see full scan in the below). Even Qurtubi has several Sahaba and Tabi’in telling us that the Aakhareen refer to all Muslims from the non Arabs and the Ta.
In 1893, in Hamamatul Bushra.
In 1893, MGA addresses the issue that Muslims say “Akhireena Minhum is plural” in terms of 62:3 (62:4 in the Kadiani Koran). MGA then falsely argues that Muhammad (Saw) applied it to only one person (this is a lie), Salman Farsi. MGA then argues that this “one person” will be born in an era wherein there are philosophical differences. People would be in a state of extreme weakness. MGA then argues that the Quran called “Abraham” (as) as ummah (many people), however, Abraham (as) was only one person. Razi says further that a great Ummah will be raised, not just one person (See A’ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam, RK5, page 220-Urdu)(See also Bro Imtiaz, 23:15 timestamp).
In 1898, MGA and his team of writers asserted that MGA being the Promised Messiah had support from the Quran (See Kitab ul Barriya, in the below). Before 1898, MGA and his team don’t seem to have ever used this argument. In the same year, in Ayyam-us-Sulh (written in 1898 and published in 1899), MGA and his team of writers argued that this verse also meant that the followers of the Messiah were just like the early sahaba of Muhammad (saw)(nauzobillah), they received true dreams and divine revelation.
In 1899, MGA argued that anyone could be a prophet, it was easy.
The year 1900 and early 1901 was a transitional phase in MGA’s prophethood (see Haqiqatun Nubuwat, 1915). In the Khutbah ilhamiya, MGA quoted 62:3 and claimed to be the second coming of Muhammad (saw)(nauzobillah), however, this book wasn’t published until 1902
When MGA finally claimed prophethood via the announcement of Nov. 1901 (Correction of an Error), he quoted 62:3 (62:4 in the Qadiani Quran) and emphatically declared himself as the second coming of Muhammad (saw)(Nauzobillah). A few sentences later, MGA called him the perfect reflection (zill)/baruz of Muhammad (saw)(nauzobillah). MGA claims that he was named Muhammad and Ahmad 20 years ago in the Barahin, and was also named “The Holy Prophet” in that era. Thus, MGA was asserting that he had been a prophet/messenger already for 20 years, he was also claiming to have been the second coming of Muhammad (Saw)(nauzobillah) for 20 years. Also in 1901 (see “Eikh Ghalti Ka Izala”), MGA argues that Chapter 108:1 of the Quran was revealed about himself (MGA), however, the verse really applies to Muhammad (saw).
In 1902, in Tohfa-Golarvia, MGA and his team of writers again asserted that MGA=Muhammad (saw)(nauzobillah). After MGA died, these arguments seem to have died off. However, in 1915, the Qadiani-Ahmadi’s revived them, specifically the sons of MGA began to aggressively assert that MGA=Muhammad (saw)(nauzobillah), whereas the Lahori-Ahmadi’s never mentioned this concept ever again. In fact, in Muhammad Ali’s famous commentary of 1917 on 62:3, he refused to mention how MGA wrote that Muhammad (Saw) (nauzobillah)=MGA. However, after 1919, even the Qadiani jamaat stopped making this argument, i.e., Muhammad (saw)(naozobillah)=MGA. In the famous 5-volume commentary of Malik Ghulam Farid (MGF), which was published in 1988. MGF admits that this verse only means, that the message of Muhammad (Saw) wasn’t only for the Arabs, it was universal, however, he again asserted that MGA was the second coming of Muhammad (Saw)(nauzobillah).
in 1901, in “Correction of an Error”, MGA quoted 1:6 and was claiming that Muslims pray daily to be given the same blessings as the prophets, a few years later, he would connect 4:69 with 1:6. In 1915, after the split in the Ahmadiyya movement, the sons of MGA connected 2:4 (2:5 in the Qadiani numbering system, with 1:6 and 4:69, they also added 7:35 and 61:6, as they argued emphatically that MGA was a prophet and had sanction from the Quran. They also argued that MGA had initially believed per 4:64 that prophets didn’t follow other prophets, they only followed Allah, however, after 1901, MGA discovered a new type of prophethood, that had never existed in the Quran and a nabi could be a follower. MGA also began to claim to be greater than Esa (as)(nauzobillah) in this era.
In 1906, via MGA’s book, “Chashma-Masihi”, that in a famous verse of Surah Fatiha wherein Muslims pray to Allah to be guided, they are actually asking Allah to be guided like the prophets and siddiqin (which is a direct inference to 4:69) Thus, MGA would always connect the ability to achieve prophethood with the daily prayer, which is ridiculous, since prophethood is a gift, not something achieved (see 40:15)(See Muhammad Ali, Prophethood in Islam also). However, in Chashma Masihi, MGA doesn’t quote 4:69, nor have we found this quote in any other book after 1903 (See pages 62-65).
In 1915 (Jun-29), Maulvi Rajecki made the argument that it was disrespectful to simply call MGA as an “Ummati-Nabi”. Maulvi Rajecki argued that it was like calling Muhammad (Saw) an “Ummati-Nabi”. He went on to argue that MGA=Muhammad (saw)(astagfarullah)(See the al Fazl June 29, 1915, p. 7) via 62:3 (akhireena minhum) and his denial was kufr. The title of the article is “Akhiri zamanay mein ek Rasul ka maboos hona zahir hotha hai aur wo masih mawood hai”. Roughly 60 years later, and during the 1974 NA hearings, Mirza Nasir Ahmad was questioned about this quotation from 1915. He lied and said that this doesn’t exist in any edition and will never be found. In 2026 (May-21), Amir Haq quoted (59:29 timestamp) this exact reference and explained how Maulvi Rajecki had argued that MGA is not simply “ghulam-e-Ahmad”, he is “Ahmad”. Amir Haq also explained how there are other statements of the Maulvi Rajecki wherein he said that only MGA was the second coming of Muhammad (Saw)(naozobillah).
In 1915 (July-15), according to Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad (the sitting Khalifa), Mirza Ghulam Ahmad referred to Muhammad (ﷺ) as “hilal” and to himself as “badr” (See the Al-Fazl, July-15-1915). Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad (the sitting Khalifa) alleged that it’s compulsory that the person who denies the second coming (i.e. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad) is a GREATER disbeliever than the one who denies the first coming (i.e. Muhammad ﷺ). Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad (the sitting Khalifa) said that per the decree of Minhum (per Quran 62:3), it has been established that similar to the followers of previous prophets being Naaji (heavenly group), all others are Naari (hellfire group), Kuffar and outside the realm of Islam. And, to include the deniers of the first coming of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) within the fold of Islam is an insult to him and a mockery of the Quranic verses. MGA drew a comparison between the first and second coming, likening them to Hilal and Badr in his Khutbah Ilhamia. This makes it mandatory to acknowledge that the Kuffar of the second coming have surpassed in their kufr those kuffar who rejected the first coming.
In 1998 (Nov), Mirza Tahir Ahmad alleges that 61:7 (61:8 in the Kadiani Koran) is about MGA, he also commented on 62:3 of the Quran (62:4 in the Kadiani Koran).
In 2023, @FikranYusufzai engaged a qadiani-Ahmadi @TahirNasser in terms of the grammar of 62:3. @TahirNasser invented some new arguments that we had never seen before, nevertheless, @FikranYusufzai quickly explained the errors of @TahirNasser. Bro Imtiaz has an excellent stream on this too.
In June of 2025, Maulvi Razi and his team of paid Maulvi’s got caught lying by Adnan Rashid (2:44:40 timestamp) and Bro Imtiaz about many things (see the clips on TikTok and twitter). Maulvi Razi got caught mispresenting Ahmad Reza Khan and Shah Wali Ullah.
In 2026 (Jun), Maulvi Iftekhar Ahmed wrote an article on “When grammar became dangerous: Ibn ‘Ashur, Quran 62:4 and the two inherited readings of ‘wa-akharina minhum’“. In this article, he accused Ibn Ashur in terms of his Quranic exegesis at-Tahrir wa-t-tanwir, at this very verse, he made a move earlier exegetes had not made. He said, in the strongest grammatical language, that the genitive reading is “not permissible” (la yajuz). He did not adopt the inherited accusative reading in its old form either. Instead, as the survey below will show, he rerouted the syntax through “unto them” (‘alayhim) and through an “object accompanying the action” (maf‘ul ma‘ah). The inherited field of possibilities was no longer left open. Maulvi Iftekhar Ahmed also quoted the Tafsir Kitab Allah al-‘Aziz by Hud b. Muhakkam al-Huwwari, an early Ibaadi exegete of the third Hijri century and accused Hud b. Muhakkam al-Huwwari of supporting the Ahmadiyya concept of the 2nd coming of Muhammad (Saw)(naozobillah) and via 62:3 of the Quran (62:4 in the Kadiani Koran).
