Intro
A letter by Maulvi Abdul Karim is reproduced by the editor (Maulvi Muhammad Ali) of the ROR-Aug-1902 (see pages 306-336). The title/heading of the letter is given as “Muslim Resuscitation and The Means By Which It Can Be Brought Out”. This is a letter, which was written to the “Nudwat ul Ulema”, this was in response to their invitation to MGA to attend their annual Jalsa at Calcutta (Dec-1902). Maulvi Abdul Karim starts off with saying that he is looking out for Muslims and their welfare and yearns for Islam to dominate once again. Maulvi Abdul Karim gives a long speech and then finally says Muhammad (saw) is the best example of morals. He then presents MGA as the second coming of Muhammad (Saw)(naozobillah) and as a unifier for the Muslims in India. Maulvi Abdul Karim was critical of the Mutazalite‘s, and Sir Syed and his Aligarh College and that entire thrust of modernism and mixing it with Islam. Maulvi Abdul Karim then poses a question to the “Nudwat ul Ulema”, he asks as to who is the “perfect manifestation of the glory and attributes” of Muhammad (saw), Maulvi Abdul Karim then poses another question: “Who is it that claims to be Baruz? (representing the spiritual appearance) of the Great Arabian Prophet” (this is implying that MGA is the Baruz)(note by AFCB). Maulvi Abdul Karim then asks the “Nudwat ul Ulema” to point to anyone else that they had in mind who could fit as the 2nd coming of Muhammad (saw)(nauzobillah)(see page 321). Maulvi Abdul Karim then gives a long speech on the objectives of the “Nudwat ul Ulema”. On page 328, Maulvi Abdul Karim tells how (and laments) all Muslims, from the Ahl-e-Hadith to the “Naichri” (the English word ‘nature’ pronounced like a desi)(Sir Syed type of Muslims) believe that prophethood has finished. Maulvi Abdul Karim does describe other means of communication by Allah and he could mean the good dreams (which are 1/46th of prophethood) and seems to be implying MGA’s prophethood. Maulvi Abdul Karim criticizes the “Nudwat ul Ulema” and says that they keep trying to unite Muslims and will never achieve that. Maulvi Abdul Karim mentions Dowie and calls him a crazy old man. On page 330, Maulvi Abdul Karim presents the common Ahmadi argument that since Islam is a living religion, and thus, that must also mean that Allah is still speaking and via miracles and signs. Maulvi Abdul Karim then argues that any religion that is devoid of Allah’s speech should be laughed at. Maulvi Abdul Karim then argues that it’s sad that the Jews were blessed with so many prophets, but not in Islam. On page 332, Maulvi Abdul Karim argued that the previous Jalsa failed. Maulvi Abdul Karim the quotes 62:3 and presents MGA as someone who fulfills this so-called prophecy and as the second coming of Muhammad (saw)(naozobillah). On page 333, Maulvi Abdul Karim writes:
“””In other words, the wise and knowing God has raised Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian with the same spirit and power, the same blessings and favors and the same miracles, with which he raised the Holy Prophet. Since the same and even greater evils and corruption had appeared in the world, and the same teachings, the same sanctifying power, the same heavenly blessings, the same miracles, supernatural signs and grand prophecies were needed as at the time of the Holy Prophet, therefore, the God of jealousy and power has sent his true representative and perfect manifestation who has annihilated his own self in obedience to his Holy Master and tries day and night to re-establish his honor, glory and greatness, and he has given the same power and magnetism that the whole world may be replenished…..”
Maulvi Abdul Karim also argues that there are 50,000 Ahmadis in the world.
