Intro
In a recent stream, Bro Imtiaz explained how MGA connected his birth to the year 6000 (at the (See 2:15:00 to 2:51:00 time stamp). Tohfah Golarhviyyah, pp. 93–95, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 17, pp. 251–252, see Also, the 2009 online english edition of Tadhkirah). Bro Imtiaz highlighted how MGA argued that the current life cycle started with the current Adam (as), and 4739 lunar years later, Muhammad (saw) completed his mission (mazala). Thus, year 4739=632 C.E.= 11 (hijri) and thus, 6000=1882 C.E.=1300 A.H. Moreover, Imtiaz proved that 4728= 1 Hijri. Thus, MGA was born 6000-11=5989. 5989-4728=1261 (hijri), and this is the year that MGA was born, which is 1845. Bro Imtiaz also showed a reference from the Tashhiz al-Adhan of 1908 wherein the Ahmadi writers/editors admitted that the 6000th year was 1270 in MGA’s theory. Bro Imtiaz than showed a reference from the Urdu Review of Religions of 1922 which stated that 1260 (1844) Hijri is the year of MGA’s birth.
Allegedly, in 1903, MGA quoted 22:47 (22:48 in the Qadiani Quran)(See page 46-47) and argued that this verse proved his theory that the world would last 7000 years (see page 41 of Lecture Lahore). MGA also argued that this wasn’t the only “Adamic-cycle” and there were many more to come.
In 1915, MGA made the argument that this cycle of existence was in fact 6000 years, however, this wasn’t the only cycle, and there were most likely many more to come (See “Minan ur Rahman”, page 12 {1915}).
In the Nation of Islam, they believe that their God permitted the white race to rule the Earth for 6000 years, a period that is almost at an end (See Gardell 1996, pp. 59, 148; Tinaz 1996, p. 197; Acevado, Ordner & Thompson 2010, p. 139). They got this belief from Ahmadi’s in America like Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, Maulvi Muhammad Din and Maulvi Muhammad Yusuf Khan.

“””(B) God Almighty has disclosed to me through a vision (kashf) that on the basis of the value of the letters comprised in surah al-‘Asr, the time from the birth of Adam to the blessed period of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him—that is, including all 23 years of his prophethood—amounts to a total period of 4739 lunar years, that is to say from the beginning of human civilization [Adam] to the death of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.”””” (page 251)

—“”Then, after a great fight—which, you must remember, will be a spiritual one—God’s Messiah shall emerge victorious, and Satanic forces shall be annihilated. Thereafter, for a thousand years, which have been described as the ‘seventh day’, God’s majesty, glory, holiness and oneness shall prevail upon the earth. And this shall be followed by the end of the world”” (see page 41).
MGA quoted 22:47 (22:48 in the Qadiani Quran)(See page 46-47) and argued that this verse proved his theory (see page 41 of Lecture Lahore). MGA also argued that this wasn’t the only “Adamic-cycle” and there were many more to come.

“””When the reign of the Messiah, the monarch begins, the Muslims who were Muslims in name only will be reconverted to Islam.”””
In this revelation, by the reign of the just monarch is meant the period of the call of this humble one. No worldly kingdom is indicated here, but the kingdom of heaven that has been bestowed upon me. In summary, the meaning of this revelation is that when the kingdom of heaven, which in the estimation of Allah is the period of the Promised Messiah, began towards the end of the sixth millennium, as had been prophesied by previous Prophets, the effect of it was that those who were only Muslims in name began to be Muslims in fact, as has already happened in the case of about 400,000 of them.”””

The 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa’s magazine before his Khilafat was Tashhiz al-Adhan, it can be seen in the scan work. The editors/writers seem to have written that the 6000th year was 1270 A.H. Thus, MGA can be confirmed to have been born in 1259 A.H. which corresponds to 1843-44.

Some raise the objection that if one language is acknowledged as the root and origin of all languages, it is difficult to accept that within only three or four thousand years languages, which had a singular origin, became so diverse. The answer to this is that this objection is,
in reality, of the category which is founded on fallacy upon fallacy. To begin with, it is not an established fact that the age of the world is only four or five-thousand years and that heaven and earth had no existence before that. Instead, profound research in this matter informs us that this world has been inhabited for a very long.

Mirza Tahir Ahmad says
Ask Islam: What does Mirza Ghulam Ahmad mean when he says 6000 years have passed since the advent of Adam? (alislam.org)
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Who was Adam, a prophet or the first human being? (alislam.org)
Who was Adam, a prophet or the first human being?
Adam lived about 6000 years ago. He is popularly believed to be the first man created by God on Earth. However, this view is wrong. The world has passed through different cycles of creation, and civilization, and Adam (peace be upon him), the progenitor of the present human race, is only the first link in the present cycle, and not the very first man in God’s creation.
It does not, however, mean that the race, which lived before Adam (peace be upon him), was entirely swept away before he was born. Most likely, there had remained a small degenerated remnant of the old race and Adam (peace be upon him) was one of them. God then selected him to be the progenitor of a new race and the precursor of a new civilization. Created, as it were, out of the dead, he represented the dawn of a new era of life.
Allah has said, “And when thy Lord said to the angels, I am about to place a vicegerent in the earth, they said, Wilt Thou place therein such as will cause disorder in it, and shed blood? We glorify Thee with Thy praise and extol Thy holiness. He answered, I know what you know not.” (2:31)
In this verse, God has used the word khalifah for Adam (peace be upon him). Khalifah in Arabic means a successor. It is, therefore, clear that men had existed and lived on earth before Adam (peace be upon him) whom he succeeded.
In short, the Holy Qur’an speaks of that Adam (peace be upon him) who was appointed as Khalifah and the first Prophet of God, and who was raised for the guidance of mankind. God appointed him a prophet and taught him the knowledge and made him the leader of men. It is worthwhile to mention that in Islam there is not concept of Instant creation. God was the guiding force behind all his creation in all stages of development.
