Mr. Mubarak Ahmad Tanweer (Lecturer, Jamia Ahmadiyya, Germany) gave a speech at the 2024 UK Jalsa about “Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya: A Source of Unity in the Muslim Ummah” – Urdu Speech. Recorded on 28th July 2024 on the third day of Jalsa Salana UK 2024.

This speech was purposely given in Urdu only and with no translation. In this speech, it is declared that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is superior to many law-bearing prophets like Musa (as)(naozobillah)(See 15:00 time stamp)(the clip is on tik tok and twitter). If you look at the crowd, its barely half the amount of people. Furthermore, Mr. Mubarak Ahmad Tanweer (Lecturer, Jamia Ahmadiyya, Germany) is a terrible orator, he only looked up once.

On page 649, he begins evaluating Islam, he claims that he has read a translation, this translation was rendered into bhasha and then transcribed in Devanagari character and was then corrected by eminent Arabic scholars. It should be noted that Dayananda calls Muslims as “Muhammadans”.

Dayananda briefly covered many 50+ verses of the Quran over 50 pages and via 159 objections (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 39, 40, 43, 47, 55, 56, 66, 69, 70, 71, 75, 76, 78, 80, 85, 86, 89, 96, and 97).

While covering Chapter-33 (Ahzab), he accused Muhammad (Saw) of purposely and willfully marrying his daughter-in-law (Zainab)(Naozobillah), however, he doesn’t mention that it was also his first cousin. Dayananda only covered half of the famous verse of Khataman Nabiyeen, 33:40. In terms of Chapter 19, Dayananda accused Maryam of having relations with the Angel Gabriel (naozobillah). Dayananda scoffed at the creation story in all Abrahim faiths (and specifically in Chapter-2 of the Quran) and called them ridiculous and ungodly. He quotes 43:63 about Eisa (as).

On page-78 of Imam Abu Hanifa’s famous book, “Fiqh al Akbar”, Imam Abu Hanifa explains how “Wahi” is only for the prophets/messengers, whereas “ilham” is for non-prophets, like Hazrat Umar (via the Muhaddath theory)(found by Damon Stengel). This is in total contradiction to MGA’s usage of Wahi/ilham in 1882.

In the Quran, “Wahi” is used for humans that are non-prophets twice, to an animal/insect once and to the Samaat Wattay (lower heavens) once. Thus, only 4 instances of usage for Wahi for non-prophets. We found 17 instances of Wahi used for the prophets/messengers. We also found one instance of the word “ilham” (see ref in the below). Listen to Mirza Tahir Ahmad explaining the Ahmadi belief that Wahi=ilham, in the 1990′s.

4 instances of Wahi for non-prophets in the Quran
In the Quran, Wahi is used to signify ilham to non-prophets like the companions of Eisa (as)(See 5:112, 5:113 in the Qadiani Quran), the mother of Musa (as)(See 28:7, 28:8 in the Qadiani Quran)(See also 20:38, 20:39 in the Qadiani Quran), the bee (see 16:68, 16:69 in the Qadiani Quran). In 41:12 (41:13 in the Qadiani Quran) Allah gave Wahi to Samaa Wattay (lower heavens) and assigned duties to them.

17 instances of Wahi used for Rasul/Nabi
7:117 (7:118 in the Qadiani Quran), 10:2 (10:3 in the Qadiani Quran) also mentions how Allah sent Wahi to Muhammad (Saw). See 42:51 and 42:52 also (42:52 and 42:53 in the Qadiani Quran) Allah says that he only communicates via Wahi to his prophets. 53:4 (53:5 in the Qadiani Quran). 3 times in 4:163 (4:164 in the Qadiani Quran). 21:45 (21:46 in the Qadiani Quran). 11:36 (11:37 in the Qadiani Quran). 16:43 (16:44 in the Qadiani Quran). 14:13 (14:14 in the Qadiani Quran). 20:114 (20:115 in the Qadiani Quran). 21:73 (21:74 in the Qadiani Quran). 23:27 (23:28 in the Qadiani Quran). 20:77 (20:78 in the Qadiani Quran). 21:7 (21:8 in the Qadiani Quran).

Tanzila
This seems to be another word that Allah uses to describe his revelations to humans.

Unzila
Unzila is also used to describe the revelations of Allah.

ilham via Allah to the Universe
91:8 (91:9 in the Qadiani Quran).

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).

Intro
In Islamic literature, there is a difference in Muhaddath (someone who gets frequent ilham) and Muhaddith (someone who has memorized hadith).

In 1880-1882 era (Via Barahin-3), MGA quoted Surah Fatiha (verses 6 and half of verse 7) and allege that these verses support the islamic theory of Muhaddath (someone who gets frequent ilham) to come amongst the Muslims. MGA also quoted 29:69 (29:70 in the Qadiani Quran)(See page 203) and 20:114 (20:115 in the Qadiani Quran) in support of the Islamic theory of Muhaddath, which MGA seems to be promoting. MGA also quoted 18:65 (18:66 in the Qadiani Quran) in his support of his “Muhaddath-Theory”.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be a Muhaddath in 1884 via “Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya” V-4, (pages 426, 428 and 436). It is interesting, on page 426, MGA quotes Shah Wali Ullah‘s book (second volume of his Maktūbāt, letter number 51)(and “Futuhul-Ghaib” by Shaikh ‘Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani) and argues that Allah talks to a non-prophet it’s via his status as a Muhaddath (who are like-prophets and get frequent ilham). Then, on page 436, MGA allegedly gets the ilham/wahi that he is a muhaddath, BA-4 ends barely 4 pages later. In 1884, in the Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya Vol. 4, page 428 of the online english edition, MGA claims that his revelations to date (1884), are free from satanic interference. He goes a step further and claims that 22:52 of the Quran has an alternate reading (commentary by Ibn Abbas in Bukhari)(it’s actually in Fath-e-Bari, see full ref in below and my interaction with Musleh Shanboor) wherein the translation would be different. MGA’s new translation was as follows: “”Never sent We a Messenger or a Prophet or a Muhaddath before you…….””. 

Interestingly, some Ahmadi’s have called Maulvi Nur ud Din as Muhaddith (see via an encounter with Ibrahim Noonan). Furthermore, it seems like Maulvi Nur ud Din was teaching MGA hadith (MGA had never cared for hadith, since his youth).

Again in 1891, via “Elucidation of Objectives” (see pages 16-18), MGA again made his claim of being a Muhaddath, a non-prophet. For a full list, see the 262 references list by Maulvi Muhammad Ali in 1915, via “Prophethood in Islam”.

Intro
It seems that Pir Mu’in Uddin Hasan Chishti, (February 1143 – March 1236) was in a trance like state and behaving like a Sufi and via Chapter-48 Verse-10 of the Quran had one of his followers pledge allegiance on his hand just to test his ability to blindly follow a pir.

Pir Mu’in Uddin Hasan Chishti was known reverentially as Khawaja Gharib Nawaz (Persian: خواجہ غریب نواز, romanized: Khawāja Gharīb Nawāz), was a Persian Islamic scholar and mystic from Sistan, who eventually ended up settling in the Indian subcontinent in the early 13th-century, where he promulgated the famous Chishtiyya order of Sunni mysticism. This particular Tariqa (order) became the dominant Islamic spiritual order in medieval India. Most of the Indian Sunni saints are Chishti in their affiliation, including Nizamuddin Awliya (d. 1325) and Amir Khusrow (d. 1325).

Intro
It seems that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a pseudo-Quran-only-type-of-Kafir in his youth and up to the mid-1880’s. In the Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya 1-4 series there isn’t any specific mention of any hadith reports. In the BA-1-2 there is absolutely nothing.

In BA-3, MGA quotes hadith at least 6 times, i rarely gives a proper reference. On page 7 MGA quotes some random hadith about “Faith is Goodwill” (unknown hadith report). On page 13, MGA quotes an alleged hadith wherein Muhammad (Saw) says to pay people back, however, no exact reference is given. On page 88, MGA quotes an alleged hadith wherein Muhammad (Saw) says good people in the era of ignorance (jahliyyah) are also good people in Islam, however, no exact reference is given. On page 195, MGA argues that ilham in the same sense as wahi and that several ahadith also lead to the same conclusion, however, MGA never gives any hadith or where that can be found. On page 203, MGA argues alleged that Muhammad (saw) said in the Ummah there would be muhaddathin [recipients of divine revelation], however, no exact reference was given. On page 204, MGA alleged that there are the people who have been called amthal [the best] in the ahadith, and siddiq [the Truthful] in the Holy Quran, however, once again, no exact reference was given.

In BA-4, a hadith is quoted on page-6, however, no reference is given. On page-7, MGA says that he quoted Quran and ahadith when he defended the British Govt. in BA-3. MGA uses the word hadith in a different sense (a nascent creation)(on pages 160 & 226). On page-251, MGA argues that the superiority of the Quran and hadith can be found in Surah Fatiha. On pages 373-375, MGA mentions the hadith of the Pleiades (aka Salman Farsi and 62:3). On page 427, MGA mentions the famous hadith about Hazrat Umar (ra) receiving ilham about his army and General Sariyah, 600+ miles away. On page-428, MGA begins to relate about the alleged hadith which suggest that Muslims can become “like prophets”, MGA twisted this hadith, see my essay.

Intro
In “Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya” V-4 (page 382 and 410), MGA argued that Muslims would be “like the prophets of Israel”. However, MGA didn’t give any specific references. Although it seems that similar hadith exists in many books of hadith, MGA was not accurate in his depiction of these hadith. These hadith simply mean that scholars of Islam will be “like the prophets” in status, since they seek knowledge. MGA also connected this with the concept of Muhaddathiyat and called Hazrat Umar (ra) an example. MGA also alleged that Hazrat Ali received ilham/wahi.

This is also quoted in “Elucidation of Objectives” (see page 16)(1891).

In 1906, via Haqiqatul Wahi, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad alleged that Muhammad was “Sahib-i-Khatam” (possessor of the seal of khatam) and could give it out (See pages 36-37, online English Edition of Haqiqatul Wahi)(See also Maulvi Muhammad Ali, “Prophethood in Islam” , 1915, pages 567-568). Furthermore, on pages 117–118 of the online English Edition of Haqiqatul Wahi, MGA argued that Allah made Muhammad (Saw) the “Khatam al Anbiya” and bestowed the seal (Khatam) to Muhammad (saw), at which point, Muhammad (Saw) bestowed it upon MGA (naozobillah)(See also Maulvi Muhammad Ali, “Prophethood in Islam”  1915, page 571). Thus, the entire ummah can be like the prophets.

In Aug-1984, after Mirza Tahir Ahmad moved to the UK on asylum, he held a pseudo question and answer session wherein he said that 4:69 only meant that Muslims could be like prophets.
On the same day, Mirza Tahir Ahmad argued that NO ONE says that NO prophet can come, and a prophet in the fashion of Muhammad (Saw) can also come.

In what seems to be the late 1980’s, Mirza Tahir Ahmad was asked by a woman about why prophets are not appearing nowadays. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that via 4:69 (4:70 in the Kadiani Koran), there is a possibility of subordinate prophets (Ummati Nabi’s). However, Mirza Tahir Ahmad carefully says that this verse only discusses the possibility. Mirza Tahir Ahmad argues that 4:69 (4:70 in the Kadiani Koran) talks about the rewards given to Muslims for attentively following Muhammad (saw) and these rewards should be greater than what was given to previous generations (Jews). Mirza Tahir Ahmad said the rewards aren’t equal, they are more!

In Part-2 of the same video, Mirza Tahir Ahmad argues that the rewards in 4:69 (4:70 in the Kadiani Koran) are only for those who obey Muhammad (Saw) and Allah. Again, Mirza Tahir Ahmad says the rewards will be more than what people previously got (the Jews). At 2:22, he quotes the famous hadith about Muslims being “the like of prophets”. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that Muslims are not less than any prophets of Israel (naozobillah) and can reach that status. However, they won’t be called prophets. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that the prophets of Israel were not for the whole world, they were limited in their approach. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that “the like of prophets” can come in large numbers and they are not prophets at all. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that a prophet “Like Muhammad (saw)” isn’t covered in 4:69 (4:70 in the Kadiani Koran), since this is a prophet for the entire world. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that only prophet will come who is “Like Muhammad (saw)” and that is MGA. Mirza Tahir Ahmad then quotes the famous hadith from Sahih-Muslim Hadith 2937a, The Book of Tribulations and Portents of the Last Hour wherein Eisa (as) was called “Nabi-Ullah” 4 times.
