Intro
Check out Bro Imtiaz’s stream on this topic herein and on June-28-2025 (1:25:00 time stamp). At 24:54, Bro Imtiaz explains how MGA and other Ahmadi writers wrote that even if you perfectly follow Muhammad (Saw) via “Fana Fil Rasul”, you still cannot become Buruz. Ahmadi’s believe that the station of Buruz was exclusively reserved for MGA only. Bro Imtiaz explains (34:53 time stamp) that MGA believed that a Buruz can only be born, a person cannot achieve this. On June-28-2025, Bro Imtiaz explained (41:23 time stamp) how MGA claimed (see Majmua Ishtiharat, V-3, page 94, via “Jihad and the British Government”, page 29 of the book) that he had been given 2 Buruz’s, the Buruz of Eisa (as) and the Buruz of Muhammad (Saw). MGA called himself a “mixed paste” (Majoon e Muraqqab) of 2 people. Bro Imtiaz explains how MGA was claiming to be the Buruz of Krishna and Buddha (53:07 time stamp). In the same book, on page-1 of the announcement, MGA openly lied and said the actual soul’s of Eisa (as) and Muhammad (saw) hadn’t entered into himself, however, he gave no other explanation. A year later, in Tohfa Golarvia (1902), MGA and his team went into full detail and called MGA as the only Buruzi Nabi to ever appear.
In 1891, via Izala Auham (page 447)(See Bro Imtiaz, time stamp, 32:34), MGA argued that the ruh (soul) of other people comes into this world as a replica. MGA also called the concept of Buruz as Sunna (43:36 time stamp).
In 1892-1893, via A‘ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam (See pages 341-346)(See Bro Imtiaz, 47:55 time stamp), MGA argued that the ruh of Eisa (as) was agitated and wanted to return to Earth and thus did in the form of Buruz (replica, see Bro Imtiaz, 30:43 time stamp and found residency and gets dissolved into a new person, 32:17). At 21:47, MGA says that Buruz deals with people who have already passed away (see A’ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 5, page 256). MGA then says that if anyone still doesn’t believe in the concept of Buruz, MGA is ready to do a Mubahila (54:26). On page RK-5, P-254 of A‘ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam, MGA argued that the soul asks for a replica (31:46 time stamp) and this was revealed to MGA via a Kashf (44:25).
On page 347 of A‘ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam (19:27 time stamp), MGA explains that for someone to become Buruz, first the predecessor must die first. The Sufi’s of Islam, the ones that are in the habit of getting spiritual benefit from grave worship are followers of this concept (46:11). All the Sufi’s are in agreement about this (45:42 time stamp).
In 1892-1893, via “A‘ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam”, RK-5, page 526 (11:19 time stamp by Bro Imtiaz), MGA argued that previous souls come back into this world again, a new person is born, thus, Buruz has to do deal with deceased people, and the person will become Buruz of the deceased person must be born. Thus, a person cannot become Buruz from following Muhammad (saw), they must be born as such. At 12:45, Bro Imtiaz explains how this totally contradicts the Ahmadiyya position on Buruz, however, this is before 1902 and thus, MGA hadn’t solidified his position on Buruz and seems to have changed in 1902 via Tohfah Golarhviyyah.
In 1893, MGA alleged that even though Jews and Christians disagree on many topics, however, they agree on the concept of Buruz (51:58 time stamp)(RK, vol. 7, p. 311, Hamamatul-Bushra).
In 1893, via “Tuhfa-e-Baghdad” (A Gift for Baghdad)(See page 61 online English edition), MGA argued that the return of Elijah through another person (Yahya [as])(MGA didn’t say Buruz), was well known to the people of the book and many prophets (50:20 time stamp).
In 1895, via Satt Bachan (RK-10, page 182), MGA alleged that Sufi’s agree on the concept of Buruz (46:01 time stamp).
In 1897, via Tohfaa-e-Qaysariyyah (see RK-12, page 273-Urdu)(39:19 time stamp)(See page 10 of the online English edition), MGA argued that he is that person, with whom the ruh of Yasu-Maseeh (Eisa [as]) “sukhoonat rakhtee hai” (takes residency)(37:59 time stamp). In other words, the ruh of Eisa (as) came to Earth and is now residing in MGA (naozobillah).
In 1897-1898, via Ayyam-us-Sulh, MGA alleged that the entire ummah agrees that a non-prophet becomes a substitute of a prophet by way of reflection (buruz), which view is implied in the hadith, ulama-u ummati ka anbiya bani Israel (the ‘ulama of my ummah are like the prophets of Israel). MGA also alleged that the concept of Buruz us nothing new, in fact, it appears in the earliest books of Allah (See Ayyam-us-Sulh, RK-14, p. 383)(48:01 Time stamp). MGA even said that ALL the revealed books agree on the concept of Buruz. MGA alleges that even Eisa (as) held this belief.
In 1897-1898, MGA writes that a ruh (soul) gets connected to a new ruh (soul), this is Buruz and it gets a new body (33:07 timestamp)(via Kitab-ul-Bariyyah, RK-13, p. 23)(and 36:45). At 53:09, Bro Imtiaz explains how MGA wrote that all the researchers in the past have agreed upon this (the concept of Buruz)(See Kitab-ul-Bariyyah, RK-13, page 48).
In 1900, via “Jihad and the British Government” and via an announcement therein. On page-1 (page 29 of the book) of the announcement, MGA denied that he was Buruz like reincarnation, and he wasn’t actually the souls of both these holy men have reappeared in him was not true! You can listen to Maulvi Razi read it out herein. (“Kay suchmuch indo buzurg nabiyoon kee ruhain maray under khalool kargayain” Urdu). However, a few pages later MGA alleged that he was actually a combination of 2 souls (Muhammad [saw] and Eisa [as])(See the scan in the below) and a “blended compound (Majoon e Muraqqab) of the two (See page 35). It seems that MGA was lying! MGA was purposely denying the concept, which he accepted in total in Tohfa Golarvia.
In 1901, (See Al-Hakam, vol. 5, no. 15, dated 24 April 1901, pp. 1-5, Via Malfuzat-2, online English edition, page 160) MGA claimed that the concept of Buruz in the Quran, however, he gave no references (42:20 time stamp and 28:20). MGA said the concept of Buruz is agreed upon (47:16). MGA said it was agreed upon by Quran, hadith and Sufi’s (52:33).
In 1901, via “Correction of an Error” (see page 17), MGA said that 1000’s of Muslims could become Buruz. However, just a year later, MGA said only he was the Buruz of Muhammad (Saw)(naozobillah), and in Muhammad (Saw)’s second coming (Naozobillah) and there were to be no more manifestations (Buruzi) as such. This also has to do with MGA being Ahmad via 61:6.
