Intro
This is an interesting book, we haven’t totally evaluated it yet. However, it seems to have lots of controversial information. MGA wrote about the child-marriage of Aisha and many other related topics. The Arya Samaj hindus seem to have written an analysis of the marriages of Muhammad (saw). MGA and his team responded with “The Arya Religion” (1895). The second edition of this book was published in 1903 (from the Lahori-Ahmaid website, aryadharam. This was a small part in the overall beef that MGA started with the Arya Samaj in the early 1880’s. Lekh Ram came soon thereafter. In this book, MGA complained that his God and prophet were being unnecessarily ridiculed and it should be against the law, however, MGA himself insulted the God of Christians in this very, in fact, he used Hindu writings vs. Jesus Christ as he called him a drunkard and a fornicator. In this book, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad specifically wanted European prostitutes to be given to British soldiers in India. MGA wrote sexual poetry in this book too, he made a mockery of the Hindu concept of Niyog, this was so embarrassing for Ahmadi’s, they have created an introduction to the book in Ruhani Khuzain and allege that MGA’s father-in-law (Mir Nasir Nawab) wrote the poem (which is a lie, see scans and commentary in the below). At the bottom of page 77, the poem ends, and MGA signs off
In this book, MGA seems to have endorsed the concept of Nikah-Muta and abrogation. Arya Dharam comprises of pages 1–110 in RK-10. It seems that MGA and his team of writers wrote that Adam (as) was the first man on Earth in this book. However, by 1908, he seems to have changed his position, either that or Ahmadi’s edited, in Malfuzat (published in the 1960’s from Rabwah), it is written how MGA had a conversation with English scholar of Astronomy, Professor Wragge and said that Adam (as) wasn’t the first man.
It should be also noted that MGA allowed money from prostitutes to be given in the way of Islam. Continue reading ““Arya Dharam” or “The Arya Religion” (1895) by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad”
