Asif Basit gets caught lying about the publish date of Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya V-5 (1908) and Nuzul ul Maseeh (1909)

Intro
In a recent attempt at damage control, a paid employee/agent of the Mirza family (Asif Basit) knowingly lied about the publishing dates of 2 books of MGA (and his team), they are Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya V-5 and Nuzul ul Maseeh (1909). Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya V-5 was published posthumously on October 15, 1908 (See Muhammad Ali, “Prophethood in Islam [1915], the supplement, see for the years of 1908). However, Qadiani sources are purposely vague, take a look at the references herein for the age prophecy, they purposely avoid a proper conversation. In a new book wherein they summarize the books of MGA, they simply give the year of 1908 (see page 395), and they claim that the book was written in 1905. However, that is a calculated lie. Why did Asif Basit perpetuate this obvious lie? Furthermore, in Nuzul ul Maseeh (1909), the age of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s father (Mirza Ghulam Murtaza) contradicts all of MGA’s previous utterances on the topic.

Asif Basit also quotes “Ijaz-e-Ahmadi” (1902), technically, the appendix of Nuzul ul Maseeh (1909) was published in 1902 inside of “Ijaz-e-Ahmadi”. MGA and his team seem to have said that he as the same age as Athim in 1893, i.e., 64. However, this makes no sense, since in 1893, per MGA (See Nishan asmani {1892}, page 14–17) he was barely 53. Was MGA and his team referring to MGA’s age in 1902 as 64, or roughly 64, which is semi accurate, since MGA was either 62-63 in 1902. Is this another case of a mis-translation?

Asif Basit starts off this diatribe with the argument that MGA factually made a statement that he had his first revelation in 1865, (See Arba‘in (1900), no. 3, first edition, pp. 29–30, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 17, pp. 418–419 and Appendix Tohfah Golarhviyyah (1900-1902), p. 19, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 17, p. 66, See Tadhkirah) Asif Basit then mixes it with another argument of MGA that he was 40 when he got his first revelations (See see Nishan asmani {1892}, page 14–17). Asif doesn’t solve this issue at all.

Interestingly, Asif Basit created a window/bracket of 12 years (74-86) and placed MGA within that bracket. However, this is comical, this is a huge window, and purposely created to shroud the errors and lies of MGA and his team on this topic. Asif Basit did bring up the clear statements of MGA in Kitaab-ul- Bariyyah (RK, v. 13, p. 177)(1898) wherein MGA said that he was born in 1839 or 1840 and barely had hair on his face in 1857 and was either 16 or 17 therein. Moreover, in that quotation, (via the Lahori-Ahmadi translation and Nuzhat Haneef‘s translation), MGA said he was born in the latter part of Sikh rule, not the last days of Ranjit Singh. However, Asif Basit scoffed at them and refused to accept them. Asif also purposely ignored MGA’s comments in Nishan asmani {1892}, page 14–17, wherein MGA clearly writes in 1891, that he is 51 years old and began receiving divine revelations at age 40, (11 years ago, 1891-11=1880).

“Now my personal life sketch is as follows. My birth took place in 1839 or 1840, during the last part of the Sikh period, and in 1857 I was 16 years [of age] or in my 17th year. And [my] beard and mustache had not yet started.”

And

“My age was about 34 or 35 when my respected father passed away.” [RK, v. 13, p. 192;

“””So, show me where Atham is today if the prophecy has not been fulfilled. He was as old as I was, i.e. about sixty-four years. If you have any doubt about this, you may take a look at his pension documents lying in the government offices to confirm at what time and age he began to receive his pension. If the prophecy was not true, why did he die earlier than me? May God’s curse be on those people who tell lies! When a person has become shameless, he may blabber as he likes, as no one can hold him back.”””

“””It was about 1884 that God vouchsafed to me the revelation:

[Arabic] [I have lived a whole lifetime among you before this, then do you not understand?]

This was an indication on behalf of God the All-Knowing, that no opponent of mine would be able to point to any default in my life. Accordingly, up till now, when I am about sixty-five years of age, no one, whether living close to me or far from me, can point to any stain in my past life. Indeed God Himself has made my opponents bear witness to the purity of my past life. For instance, Maulavi Muhammad Husain has, on many occasions, praised me and the members of my family in his journal Isha’atus-Sunnah and has claimed that no one is better acquainted with me and my family than him. Then, to the extent that he understood, he praised me. In this way an opponent, who became the originator of my condemnation as a non-believer, has confirmed the truth of this prophecy [I have lived among you…].
