Intro
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed many titles via specific phraseology. Specifically, MGA always claimed to be “The Promised Messiah” and “Mahdi” (after 1895-ish). In 1902, Griswold also pointed out how MGA was claiming to be the Mahdi for Muslims, Avatar for the Hindus and above all claims, the “Promised Messiah” (see page 4). In 1900, via “Jihad and the British Government” (see page 29), MGA alleged to be “the Messiah for the Christians” and “Mahdi for the Muslims”. However, it should be noted that this addendum wasn’t in the original book and was added later.
In the 1920’s (See Addison, 1929), the Lahori-Ahmadi’s at Woking specifically (via Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din) began to market MGA as “The Messiah for the Christians” and “The Mahdi for the Muslims”! Addison alleges that this was started in 1913 by Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din.
This was picked up by Elijah Muhammad (via Maulana Muhammad Abdullah) in his famous book, “Message to the Black Man” (1965) and subsequently backdated to the 1930’s when W.D. Fard was around. However, when we check Beynon (1938), this title (“The Messiah for the Christians” and “The Mahdi for the Muslims”) is not mentioned. Via Hatim (1951), Elijah Muhammad told him how he super imposed the title of “Promised Messiah” upon W.D. Fard and alleged that W.D. Fard told him that he was El-Mahdi. Thus proving that this as an addition by via Maulana Muhammad Abdullah.
