Intro
In Malfuzat Volume-10, page 266 (Urdu version)(corresponds to May-June-1908)(pages 388-402, online English edition, the full entry is posted in the below), MGA is alleged to have said that if he is liar, then Islam is a lie! Bro Imtiaz covered it on the stream dated 3-2-2024. This is also part of the data on MGA and Takfir and proves that MGA was telling the world that anyone who doesn’t accept him is devoid of a religion.

The sub ref is from the Al Hakam June 18 1908. sStarts at page 5 and continues until the end of page 7. On May 2nd, 1908, Mr. Muhammad Ali Jafari M.A. Vice Principal of Islamia College Lahore came to visit Mirza Qadiani, it was at this moment when MGA related the 3-page story which is all regarding MGA truthfulness etc.

declared to be a kafir [disbeliever], akfar [the greatest of disbelievers],
zall [misguided one], muzill [one who misguides others],
and that I was outside the pale of Islam. I was declared to
be worse than the Jews and Christians. It was pronounced that
we should not be allowed to be buried in their cemeteries, that
our funeral prayers should not be offered, and no one should
meet us or shake hands with us. They went to the extreme in
their oppression to declare that anyone who maintained contact
with us would also be considered one of us.
After receiving this response from them, I thought that the
educated are usually without prejudice and hate. With this very
thought in mind, I presented my invitation to the group who
had received modern education. However, I discovered most
of them to be unrestrained [not abiding by the Islamic teachings]
and observed that most of them were seeking to make
changes in Islam, thinking that Islamic teachings are of the age
of ignorance and barbarism and are no longer needed—that
they should now be freed from it and amendments should be
made to it to keep pace with the changing times. Accordingly,
in this way I was also disappointed by this group, except for an
occasional few, by Allah’s grace.
Then I sent my invitation to the rich and respected as they
are blessed with a share of the world and are plain and simple
Muslims. So one of them, Siddiq Hasan Khan, tore my
book apart and sent it back. This is how he demonstrated his
callousness.
After these experiences, I realized that the honour of acceptance
[of truth] is always the destiny of the weak and the poor.
This turned out to be absolutely true and, in conformity with
the longstanding tradition, it was the weak and the poor who
joined me to a large extent. Such people do not have the arrogance
of religious scholarship nor the haughtiness of wealth;
rather, they are simple-natured and pious souls. And they are
Malfuzat – E 390 nglish translation of Urdu Volume 10
also the ones who are dear to God. Thus, there are hundreds of
thousands from this group who are now with me.
After receiving the mantle of prophethood from God,
when our Beloved Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah
be upon him, wrote letters of invitation to the kings of his time,
one letter was sent to Heraclius, the Emperor of Byzantium.
After reading it, he sent out people to search for some Arabs
who belonged to the tribe of the Holy Prophet sas. Thus, a few
individuals from the tribe of Quraish were brought to him,
Abu Sufyan being one of them. The Emperor posed a few
questions to them. One of them was whether there had been
any other person from the forefathers of this man [the Holy
Prophet sas] who had claimed to be a Prophet. The reply given
to it was in the negative. Then they were asked whether there
had been any king in his lineage. The answer given was again
in the negative. He then asked, ‘Who are the followers of this
man?’
In reply to this, it was stated that people who followed him
were poor and weak. Then he inquired as to the outcome of the
battles with him. The reply given was that sometimes he would
triumph and sometimes they would succeed.
Upon hearing the answers to these questions, the Emperor
remarked that Prophets always come into the world in that very
manner. In the beginning, they would always be accompanied
by the weak and the poor. With his intuitive foresight, he was
able to recognize that this person [the Holy Prophet sas] was a
true Prophet, and that he was undoubtedly that very Prophet
whose advent had been foretold. Accordingly, he also affirmed
that the time was nigh when he [the Holy Prophet sas] would
become the master of his [Caesar’s] throne.
In short, it is indeed an age-old tradition that only the
weak and poor people stand with the Prophets. The high and
mighty do indeed remain deprived of this blessing. Their hearts
2 May 1908 391
are mired in all kinds of thoughts. They consider themselves
to have already advanced beyond such things. Due to their
worldly superiority and veiled pride and arrogance, they consider
it an affront and a cause for shame and ignominy even
to sit in a gathering where the poor but sincere—the weak but
beloved of God—are gathered together. I know there are hundreds
of people in my Jama’at who hardly have enough clothes
to cover their body. It is with great difficulty that they come by
a sheet to cover themselves or acquire a pyjama.
They do not own any property but their boundless sincerity,
devotion, love, and loyalty that becomes evident from time
to time through their actions, or that is apparent from their
countenances, leaves one amazed and wonderstruck. They have
such strength of faith and honesty of conviction, and are so
sincerely and loyally devoted to truth and steadfastness that if
the pleasure they derive from these things were to be known to
those who are slaves of material wealth and prosperity and are
fond of worldly pleasure, they would be ready to give it all up
in exchange for it.
As an illustration, you may just look at the example of one
such person, the late Sahibzadah Maulawi Abdul Latif, and
see how strong he was in his sincerity and how true he was in
his loyalty. He did not shy away from sacrificing even his life.
He surrendered his life, but he did not surrender truth. When
he was reported to the Amir [ruler of Afghanistan] and was
brought before him, the Amir asked him exactly this, whether
it was true that he had made the Bai’at [Pledge of Allegiance]
to such a man [the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him]. As
he was a righteous man, he replied clearly, ‘Yes, I have taken the
Bai’at; I have accepted him, but I have chosen to follow him out
of thorough understanding and not out of blind acceptance.
I have not found anyone quite like him in the whole world. I
Malfuzat – E 392 nglish translation of Urdu Volume 10
would rather give up my life in his path than to sever my ties
with him.’
Thus, the blessed soul has left behind an example of the
strength of faith and the purity of belief that my followers have.
The Fate of Those who Reject
The trouble is that people have no interest to ponder over religious
matters, to reflect upon issues with the fear of God [in their
heart], to seek the distinction between truth and falsehood,
or to employ a passionate urge to discover if the Movement is
established at the behest of God or not. Notwithstanding, it
should be remembered that this act of God Almighty is not
frivolous. On the contrary, He has established this Movement
with truth and wisdom and has raised it precisely at the time
of need. He is most certainly going to demand an explanation
from the disbelievers: . مََما أََأرْْرسََسلََل اللہُُاللہ رََرسُُسوًًْْول إِِإلََّّل أََأخْْخزٰٰزی بِِبہٖٖہ قََقوْْومًًما لََّّل یُُیؤْْٔومِِمنُُنوْْونََن
Take note that there has never been a Prophet nor a Messenger
sent to this world, but whose deniers were chastised by God
Almighty with humiliation and ignominy. Once the conclusive
arguments for the truth of the Prophet have been furnished, it
becomes necessary and essential that the disbelieving people be
made to suffer chastisement in order to bring about a distinction
between the truth and falsehood.
Two Cardinal Sins in the Sight of God
There are two sins that are extremely grave in the sight of God.
The first is to forge lies against God; that is, a person claims
that God speaks to him or sends revelation or inspiration to
him, whereas he does not receive any of them, nor has God ever
2 May 1908 393
spoken to him. Even fabricating a dream is included in this. So,
one is the issue of forging a lie against God while God Almighty
knows quite well that the person is a liar. The second person
who is subjected to the severe wrath and chastisement of God is
the one who rejects a truthful person who has come from God.
In any case, what I mean to say is that this has always been
the norm. And in this age, God Almighty has demonstrated it
by establishing a prophetic Movement. People should at least
derive some benefit from it, and whereas they take on such
headaches and work so hard, striving for their worldly pursuits,
it behoves them to at least do some investigation to determine
whether this person—who ascribes his enterprise to God and
makes such a momentous claim—is, in fact, truthful or a liar.
Then, God says that if someone disobeys His Messenger,
He will not leave him until he is made to answer for his rejection.
Even ordinary rulers and governments do not leave those
who rebel and violate their ordinances without due punishment;
then, how can he who disobeys a Messenger of God and
violates His commandments remain safe when God is the Most
Just of judges and has absolute control over every particle?
The Truth of the Promised Messiah, Peace be upon Him
If I did not have any Signs of God with me and was not accompanied
by the help and support from Him; or if I had carved out
a path distinct from that of the Holy Quran, or if I had intruded
into or modified the Quranic commandments and Shariah or
had abrogated it; or if I had advocated a new path besides that
of following the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him; then it would have been justified and the objection
of the people would have been reasonable and worthy of being
accepted that this person is, in reality, an enemy of God and the
Malfuzat – E 394 nglish translation of Urdu Volume 10
Messenger of God, and a denier of the Holy Quran and of its
teachings, and one who abrogates them—that he is a transgressor,
a sinner, and an apostate. But I have not made any changes
in the Quran, or altered even a dot or an iota of the current
Shariah brought by the Holy Prophet Muhammad sas. Quite to
the contrary, I am dedicated to the service of the Quran and
the Quranic commandments and the pure religion of the Holy
Prophet sas, and have devoted my entire life to this path.
Moreover, I firmly believe that salvation is not at all possible
without the Holy Quran—which is the perfect, complete,
and comprehensive Book—and without its perfect obedience,
and without following the Holy Prophet sas. I believe that anyone
who adds or subtracts anything from the Quran or refuses
the yolk of obedience of the Holy Prophet sas, is an infidel and
an apostate. So this being the case, and in spite of the manifestation
of thousands of Signs in the heavens and the earth from
God in support of my truthfulness, if a person still calls me a
kazib [liar], a muftari [fabricator], and a dajjal [deceiver], or
does not show deference to me and does not lend an ear to my
call, he should know for certain that God will never ever leave
him without calling him to account for it.
The ship of Islam is about to sink. This age is bearing witness,
and the time is proclaiming the need for help again and
again. The internal state [of Muslims] is so precarious that no
heart can feel reassured and content. The external onslaughts
are so lethal that they are threatening to uproot Islam from
its very foundations. Hence, hasn’t the time yet come for God
to appoint someone for the help of Islam, and to send some
Reformer who could remedy the sinking ship of Islam?
The head of the century has also passed, but all the promises
turned out to be false? So, you tell me whether the time
has still not come for God to attend to the welfare of Islam, or
is there going to be a more critical and precarious situation?
2 May 1908 395
Would someone come only when Islam is totally dead with no
breath of life left in it? What would the use and benefit of such
a person be if he comes then?
Remember it well that if I am false, then Islam is also
false. And if Islam is also a dead religion like the others, then
what greatness lies in it and what’s its distinction? The Tauhid
[Oneness of God] that you and I take pride in, is claimed by the
Brahmus and Aryas as well. Once a person gave a lecture right
here in Lahore and said, ‘We believe in لٓٓ إِلٰهَ إِلَّ اللهُ [“There is no
one worthy of worship except Allah”] then why do we need
مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللهِ [“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”]?’
When this is the state of affairs and other religions also
believe in Tauhid, then what is the distinction between you
and them?
The Essence of Jihad
If the tenets of jihad etc. are indeed the only distinction, then
beware, it is an egregious error. You are, thus, not a friend of
Islam but rather its enemy. You give a bad name to Islam.
Look, if I had understood that this was in reality the true
intent of the Holy Quran, I would have left this country and
chosen a place where I had all the amenities and facilities to
implement such commandments, and I would have acted upon
those commandments to my heart’s content. But verily I tell
you that this is not the intent of the Quran, as has, unfortunately,
been understood to be the case by some ignorant mullahs
[Muslim clergy].
The truth is that the Holy Prophet sas was faced with great
challenges at that time. Many of his devout and dear friends fell
prey to the sword and arrows of the cruel disbelievers. They tortured
Muslim men and Muslim women in a variety of shameful
Malfuzat – E 396 nglish translation of Urdu Volume 10
ways and in the end they hatched a plan to murder even the
Holy Prophet sas. They pursued him and set a bounty to kill him.
The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him, was forced to hide in a cave. No stone was left unturned
in pursuing him. It was only Allah’s miraculous design that He
saved him from their eyes even though he was right in front
of them. God deceived their eyes and saved His Messenger
by lending him His special help. But when, finally, their tyranny
exceeded all bounds and they were not satisfied even after
expelling the Muslims from their homeland, Allah the Exalted
gave this guidance:
اُذِنَاُذِنَ لِلَّذِيْنَلِلَّذِيْنَ يُقٰتَلُوْنَيُقٰتَلُوْنَ بِاَنَّهُمْبِاَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوْاظُلِمُوْا١ؕ١ؕ وَوَ اِنَّاِنَّ اللّٰهَاللّٰهَ عَلٰىعَلٰى نَصْرِهِمْنَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِلَقَدِيْْر 1
God Almighty gave Muslims the permission to raise the sword.
In this permission, God made it clear that the disbelievers were,
indeed, tyrants and their mischief had exceeded all bounds,
and the patience of the Muslims had been pushed to its limit. It
was then that God decreed that those who had fought with the
sword should be killed with the sword.
God also decreed that, though the Muslims were just a few
in number and weak, yet He was going to lend them His support
because they had been transgressed against and He would
have the disbelievers killed through their hand. Ensuing from
this decree, the same few people—who had been considered
worthless and abject, whom no one wanted to assist or support,
and who had been severely oppressed and constrained by the
disbelievers—came to be held in awe both in the east and the
west. In this way, God showed to the world, by helping them,
1. Permission to fight is given to those against whom war is made, because they
have been wronged—and Allah indeed has power to help them (Surah al-
Hajj, 22:40). [Publisher]
2 May 1908 397
that Muslims indeed were subjected to wanton oppression. In
short, look at any aspect and from any angle and see whether
the Muslims of that time were the oppressed party or not?
If God had not given permission to those few weak Muslims
to raise their sword to defend their lives and had not permitted
them to fight defensively even at that critical and dangerous
juncture, should He have allowed them to be eliminated from
the face of this earth? Under those circumstances, it was their
right to defend themselves by any standards—religious or conventional.
And yet, that has been the cause of criticism even
to this day, and the bigoted and ignorant opponents refuse to
forget. So now, do these people wish to renew these allegations
and alienate people from Islam by advancing the concept of
a bloodthirsty Mahdi? Look, the Holy Prophet sas, has clearly
stated vis-a-vis the Mahdi يضََضعُُع اْْلحََحرْْربََب that he would bring an end
to wars and that war would be an intellectual war.
The pen would carry out the work of the sword. The world
would be conquered with spiritual insights, heavenly blessings,
and miraculous Signs. And the ascendancy of Islam would be
established through conclusive arguments and refulgent proofs
and the true religion would be made to stand distinct by fresh
prophecies from the unseen and Divine acts of support. It is
not enough to say that we possess plentiful miracles from the
past. You should know that you have nothing that exceeds the
stories and fables mentioned in the manuscripts of the Hindus
and the scriptures of the Christians and the Jews. If you present
stories, they will be able to present far more impressive stories.
If the standard of truth of Islam has been reduced to mere stories
and fables, then you should know that this matter has been
rendered dubious.
Malfuzat – E 398 nglish translation of Urdu Volume 10
Need for Prophets and Heavenly Signs
Islam is distinctive. God has always maintained an extraordinary
quality in Islam and that is its ever fresh Signs. Those who
are fond of modern philosophy become somewhat displeased
when they hear the word ‘Sign’. They question the need for
Signs and Prophets in the search for the existence of God.
Remember, it is a weak form of conviction to deduce the
existence of God from the intelligence and wisdom reflected in
the solar system and the orderliness of the universe. This cannot
fully satisfy the curiosity about the existence of God. It only
proves the possibility, but it cannot be said with certainty that
God does, in fact, exist. If these had been certain and definitive
proofs, why would people become atheists? Many great scholars
have written volumes, but their arguments are not irrefutable,
and their proofs are not decisive. They cannot silence
anyone, nor can a man attain certainty of faith through them.
If a person were to formulate arguments in favour of the existence
of God Almighty based on these matters, an atheist would
present arguments in their refutation.
The fact is that all that can be proved this way is that ‘God
should exist.’ It does not prove that ‘He does exist.’ There is a
huge difference between ‘should exist’ and ‘does exist’, and
the latter requires seeing for oneself. The second part that the
Prophets have presented to prove the existence of the Almighty
Creator is to prove His existence by means of mighty Signs and
miracles, and through the display of His mighty power. This
is such an approach before which all heads bow. In fact, many
Arabs were atheists as we learn from the following verse of the
Holy Quran:
2 May 1908 399
اِنْاِنْ هِيَهِيَ اِلَّااِلَّا حَيَاتُنَاحَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَاالدُّنْيَا نَمُوْتُنَمُوْتُ وَوَ نَحْيَانَحْيَا 1
Were the uncouth, audacious, unrestrained, and bold Arabs
reformed by him [the Holy Prophet sas] by the use of the sword?
Was the sublime distinction and difference between their life
before and after the advent of the Holy Prophet sas due to the
fact that they could not compete with him in the use of the
sword? Or was it just the moral teaching by itself that brought
about such a pious change in their hearts? No, of course not!
Remember, the sword can conquer the palpable, but hearts
can never be conquered by the sword. Nay, it was the light that
reflected the countenance of God. The Holy Prophet, peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him, had shown them such
miraculous Signs as if God had Himself made an appearance
before these people. And seeing the glory and omnipotence
of God, they brought about a pious change in themselves and
adopted a life that detested sin.
The Need to Develop a Living Faith in God Almighty
These times are indeed the very same, and so is this era exactly
akin to that era. Therefore, conviction in the existence of God
will be attained through the same method as was used at the
onset. Islam is that very same Islam. Therefore, the means and
methods of its success and rejuvenation remain the same as they
were at the beginning. At this time as well, there is a need for
the awe-inspiring Signs of God’s might to appear that will manifest
His countenance. And know for certain that no one can
be purified from sin unless his cognizance of God is perfected.
Mere faith is not adequate to dispel sins and the diverse
1. It is only here that we live our life. Here we die and here we live (Surah al-
Mu’minun, 23:38). [Publisher]
Malfuzat – E 400 nglish translation of Urdu Volume 10
transgressions that abound throughout the world in every
direction. Does that fear of God—as is needed—exist in the
world? No, not at all!
Man is caught in the chains of the evil-inciting ego much
like a sparrow in the claws of a lion. Unless he can free himself
from the grip of this spirit, change is not at all possible, and
deliverance from sin is difficult. But look, If a powerful earthquake
was to occur right now, and the walls and the roof of the
building start to shake, hearts would be overcome by such awe,
and such a fear would overshadow those hearts that not even a
single thought of sin would remain in them. The state of a man
during a serious life-threatening illness cannot be imagined
during a life of peace and comfort.
Man is in need of the mighty Signs and manifestations
of God Almighty to bring about a change in his condition. It
is necessary that God should create some such path so that a
man’s belief in God might become refreshed and strengthened
and so that it should not remain limited to mere verbal confession;
rather, the effect of this faith should become manifest in
his practical conduct and one should become a true Muslim
thereby. In this context, Allah the Exalted told me in His
revelation:
چو دور خسروی آغاز کردند مسلمان را مسلمان باز کردند
When the reign of the Man of Persia shall commence,
Then the so-called Muslims shall be made Muslims anew.
This is the word of God. If one looks closely and carefully,
you will observe that these days faith is primarily confined to
just the verbal expression of faith. Thus, it is the will of God
to transform these Muslims in word and name alone, into true
Muslims. Did the Jews not believe in the Torah? Did they not
2 May 1908 401
offer sacrifices? However, God cursed them and declared them
to be disbelievers. In fact, He has even cursed the Prayers of
some worshippers where He says:
وَيْلٌوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّيْنَلِّلْمُصَلِّيْنَ ۰۰۰۰الَّذِيْنَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْهُمْ عَنْعَنْ صَلَاتِهِمْصَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُوْنَسَاهُوْنَ 1۰۰۰۰
Meaning that, accursed are those worshippers who are unaware
of the true essence of Salat [obligatory Prayers]. Prayer,
in essence, is throwing oneself into the fire, and burning down
one’s self and everything that exists besides God by throwing
oneself into the fire of the love and fear of God. This is the state
in which God alone becomes man’s focus, and man advances
to the stage in which he speaks only when God desires him to
speak and he moves only when God desires him to move. All
his moving and all his stopping, all his activity and all his inactivity
become aligned to the will of God—his own ego being
eliminated altogether.
All these things can happen but only if God bestows the
ability upon someone. Save until God opens the doors of someone’s
heart can anyone do anything. It is only God who can open
the doors of hearts: 2. إِذَاۤ أَرَادَ الّٰلُ بِعَبْدٍ خَیْرًا أَقَامَ وَاعِظًا فِیْ قَلْبِہٖ When auspicious
times arrive for a man and God desires his reformation
and improvement, God raises an admonisher within his own
heart. And until an admonisher comes into being within the
person himself, admonishment from the outside has no impact
on him at all. However, that is God’s work, not mine.
1. Woe to those who pray, but are unmindful of their Prayer (Surah al-Ma‘un,
107:5–6). [Publisher]
2. Although the essence is the same, this hadith is recorded in different books
with slight variations: إِِإذََذا أََأرََرادََد الّّٰٰلُُلل بِِبعََعبْْبدٍٍد خََخیْْیرًًرا جََجعََعلََل لََلہٗٗہ وََواعِِعظًًظا فِِفیْْی قََقلْْلبِِبہٖٖہ Tarikh Dimashq

My task is only to convey the message:
مَامَا عَلَىعَلَى الرَّسُوْلِالرَّسُوْلِ اِلَّااِلَّا الْبَلٰغُالْبَلٰغُ1 . Transformation is God’s prerogative. I wish
from my side to make sure that the Message has been conveyed,
lest I am questioned why I did not expound it well. This is why
I have told people verbally. I have completed this task in writing
as well. There will hardly be anyone in the world now who
could still say that my message has not reached him, or that my
claim has not reached him
