Intro
In the “Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya” V1–4, MGA made only half of an argument, i.e., that Allah still speaks, in this vein, MGA purposely mixed up ilham and Wahi and opposed Muslims in India over this matter which eventually led to MGA being Takfired by 1884. MGA made sub-arguments from hadith about Muslims having the ability to be “like prophets” and the famous hadith about Hazrat Umar (ra) getting an ilham about his army and General Sariyah, 600+ miles away. MGA also presented hadith that were preserved in Fath-e-Bari about how Ibn Abbas would recite 22:52 (MGA said it was in Bukhari., it’s actually part of a chapter heading, and not in the sahih)(we found it in Asqalani’s famous commentary, Fath-e-Bari). MGA presented all of these as part of his argument that since Muslims can be “like prophets”, and “like prophets”= the title of Muhaddath, like Hazrat Umar (ra).

In 1891, when MGA claimed to be the “Promised Messiah”, he maintained that his revelations (aka wahi/ilham) as simply as a non-prophet. Instead, MGA was a Muhaddath, and now also “The Promised Messiah”.

In 1900-1901, MGA became a prophet per his own team’s strategy (See, “Eik Ghalti Ka Izala”) and these arguments were never repeated. Instead, MGA was arguing that he is called a prophet, and a prophet can also be a follower (Ummati Nabi).

In 1915, the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa and also the son of MGA, Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad told the world in “Haqiqat un Nubawwat” (1915) that all of MGA’s arguments on prophethood before 1901 were abrogated by MGA. The 2nd Qadiani Khalifa continued that all references in books published before 1901 were abrogated.

In May of 2025, Maulvi Razi tried to answer this question on an official True Islam UK stream (see 4:55:53 time stamp). On Bro Imtiaz’s stream the time stamp is 2:48:40. It seems that in 1952, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s objected to the books of MGA being abrogated which promoted the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa to respond in the Al-Fazl of Ocr-29-1952 (see the full scans in the below).
