Read this entry to get some background info on this classic book on Ahmadiyya.  Taken from here:
http://www.anti-ahmadiyya.org/en/modules.php?name=News&file=print&sid=160(retrieved on 10-19-17).

The quotes
—-“Mirza Saheb had announced that any non-Muslim who would write a reply to Braheen Ahmadiyya would be rewarded with Rs. 10,000. Pandit Lekhram wrote a reply by the name of Takzeeb Braheen. However this rebuttal was a shameless collection of slanders and abuse and I believe that since the humans have been born, no anti-God had abused Prophets and other people close to God in such a manner that Pandit Lekhram had penned in his book…. If one looks with fairness then it will be obvious that it was Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Saheb who provoked the said Pandit against Islam and Prophets of Islam and forcing him into writing such slander.” (Raees-e-Qadian p.1332-133 by Rafiq Dilawari).

—-“If writing a rebuttal of Braheen is ill-mannerism, then you are the first criminal, because according to Quran you had committed Kufr, you provoked us, because of which we wrote a reply. Had you not provoked us, then Permeshwar knows, that we had never thought of writings against religion of Islam. Thus if God forbid, divine punishment will descend then first its lightening will fall on your sitting room in Qadian. Then if self defense is a crime, then I too should be blamed.” (Weekly Satdharam Parcharak, Jallundher, dated 16th July 1897, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.133).

—-“I saw your letter published by Murtazai Press Lahore. In this letter you have been instructed by God to write that anyone belonging to other religion, despite staying with you for one year, does not observe any heavenly sign and does not become Muslim after satisfying himself, then you will pay Rs. 200 per month as penalty or damages. Therefore to discover the heavenly sign I am prepared to some to you on the condition that at the rate of Rs 200 per month deposit Rs 2400 in Government bank for safe keeping, and give an undertaking that if am not satisfied and do not embrace Islam after one year of your guidance and heavenly sign and miracles, then that Rs. 2400 would be handed over to me, and for a period of one year that amount will remain deposited in the government bank, you will not be entitled to take that money back. I accept to be your student for one year.” (Letter to Mirza Ghulam dated 3rd April 1885, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.163). 

—-“In my published letter I have addressed those people who are respected scholars and famous leaders of their community, whose acceptance can affect a large group of people, but you are not a man of such position or status, and if I am mistaken in this opinion of mine and you are actually a leader of your community then very good, I do not want to bother you too much, just do this that all the members of five organizations, Arya Samaj Qadian, Arya Samaj Lahore, Arya Samaj Amritsar, Arya Samaj Ludhiana, Arya Samaj Peshawer, all of them should give an undertaking on oath stating that Pandit Lekhram who is our leader, if he is subdued in this matter and will observe some sign, then all of us will embrace Islam without delay. If you do compile and send me such an undertaking within two weeks, then you will be considered a common man, who is not worth addressing.” (Letter of Mirza Ghulam dated 17th April 1885, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.163).

—“That proverb fits on you: Teeth of Elephant, for showing different than for eating. And I thought that according to the contents of your letter you will be keep your promise, but I was wrong. Your statement that I should get the undertaking of members of five Arya Samaj (of five cities) proves that proverb correct that ‘a dodger have lots of excuses’. How can the members of five Arya Samaj be forced to embrace Islam by my subduing and accepting Islam? If suppose you become an Arya, your brother, relatives and other Muslims of Qadian will also embrace Arya religion? Never. Mirza Saheb! By meaningless claims lead to nothing but embarrassment. If after full investigations you embrace Arya religion, then it would be a good proof of the truthfulness of Arya religion. Similarly becoming a Muslim of a person like me will a glaring proof of the miracle of Religion of Islam. Since the fallacy of your claims of miracle have already been fully revealed to me through the Arya Samaj of Qadian, therefore I should not have really followed the saying ‘to test a tested person is foolishness’. However I would like to state this much that you are deliberately avoiding and dodging the issue.” (Letter to Mirza Ghulam dated 9th April 1885, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.164).

—“Rs 200 per month was fixed for people of high status. If I fix Rs 200 for all high and low status, then from where am I going to get this much amount? If you are earning this amount from some other place, then I have no objection. Prove it that you are a man of this status …. It is obligatory on you to come to Qadian to get rid of this evil thought and verify it.” (Letter of Mirza Ghulam dated 16th April 1885, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.163).

—“Mirza Saheb! The meaning of your first published was something else, letter of 7th April is saying something else and letter of 16th April is revealing something entirely different. God knows, why do you keep backing off from your statements. My last request is that if you are really truthful in your promise, and explorer of Truth, seeker of the guidance and have been appointed for the guidance of mankind, then deposit Rs 2400 at the rate of Rs 200 per month in Government bank and give an undertaking that if am not satisfied and do not embrace Islam after one year of your guidance and heavenly sign and miracles, then that Rs. 2400 would be handed over to me, and for a period of one year that amount will remain deposited in the government bank. If you are really appointed by the God Al-Mighty, then why do you refrain from giving such an undertaking and deposition of amount. When truth should not be scared and you have full faith in your miracles, then it is useless to evade it. If God has informed you and He has made this prophecy, and you, according to your own statement, have tested your prophecies on numerous occasions, then I will surely be incriminated, be subdued and become speechless. God has promised you and now you are evading fulfilling this promise.  Then how can it be accepted that there is no question of it being postponed, when you yourself do not have full faith on it. Claims of completion of altercation and to give advertisement to the effect that when the sun will rise from the west, then you will pay the amount, is casting a dark stain on an intelligent person like you. It is because of such flouting of promises by you that no Arya brother is willing to come to you. I am writing again and again that to test you miraculous power, I want to offer myself as a test and with an honest heart I accept being your student and stay in Qadian for one year. If this time as well you will evade this issue then further correspondence is useless.” (Letter of Mirza Ghulam dated 30th April 1885, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.164).

—“On the one hand this humble self will deposit Rs 2400, and on the other hand you will also deposit the same amount according to my wish on the shop of a muhajin (muhajin is a shop owner in villages who gives loans on interest), as a penalty of refusing to accept Islam, so that whoever is given victory by God, it would become a souvenir of his victory.” (Letter of Mirza Ghulam dated 17th July 1885, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.163).

—“The basis of our correspondence is that advertisement that you published from Mutazai Press Lahore and in which you had claimed in clear words that God has ordered you to invite people of other religions to Islam and whosoever stays with you in Qadian for one year and after seeing the heavenly sign and miracle does not embrace Islam, you will pay him damages at the rate of Rs 200 per month, an amount of Rs. 2400 for the whole year. Upon this I had requested you that I am prepared to stay with you for one year. Now you have forwarded a new condition… my dear! Why do you run away from your own publicized promises and why have you forsaken justice? Is this is the way of religious people and rightly guided persons? Now it is only fair that first you publish this advertisement that what you had publicized earlier, you are canceling it. When you had announced your miracle, you should have full belief that you will definitely perform the miracle and its impact would be right on the mark and he who witness it would surely embrace Islam. The literal meaning of miracle is to make everyone powerless. If the opponent does not become powerless and subdued then that cannot be a miracle. This shows that you yourself are in doubt about your miracle that this man (Lekhram) will not be subdued by your miracle. That is why now you are stating a new condition. Nevertheless, according to the principle ‘See the liar unto his home’, I am even prepared to accept this new condition, like you I will also deposit Rs 2400.” (Letter to Mirza Ghulam dated 20th July 1885, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.168).

—“Since I doubt your steadiness, therefore make clear what kind of heavenly sign are you going to perform…… also fix the date and time of exhibiting your miracle so that it can be advertised.” (Letter to Mirza Ghulam dated 20th July 1885, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.168).

—“I cannot make any condition on exhibiting miracle and neither can I show demanded miracle. I do not know what will appear. We are just an appointed servant. We do not know that what kind of sign God will exhibit.  We know and understand that sign is that thing which is beyond the power of human being. We claim only that God will definitely manifest such a sign for which humans are powerless, but the CONDITION is that to give an opinion of YES or NO regarding our miracle, such accepted judges be appointed from both sides who do not belong to the religion of both the parties.” (Letter of Mirza Ghulam, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.170).

—“If you had wanted the opposite party also to deposit money, then you should have mentioned this condition in your first advertisement that like a gambler put your money against my money, so that later the conditions would not have to be changed and canceled. And if you had written clearly then even a person with low intelligence would not have paid attention to such gambling, let alone that I would have taken all the trouble of writing to you. The reason for not trusting your promises is your baseless boasting and baseless claims. ….  Truth is that you have made this boastfulness your source of earning. It was for these reasons that I had requested you to deposit the promised amount in advance. You were not right in thinking that because of your harsh conditions no one would like to remain imprisoned without chains in Qadian for one year among the peasants and ignorant people; and moreover that if no one responds then your claims would be accepted one-sidedly. But when I stood up to prove your claim wrong and because of above-mentioned reasons tried to get the promised compensation in advance, then against your advertisement you invented a new evasive tactic ……

By saying that ‘we are only an appointed servant’ and most of what you have written in the first two lines of your advertisement, it is very obvious that you are claiming prophethood, and by writing the respected name of Hazrat Eisa, you have expressed yourself to be equal to him. It wouldn’t be out of place to draw attention of Respected Muslim Scholars, because it is obvious like a sun on all special and common Muslims that Hazrat (Muhammad) is the Last Messenger. Thus why don’t they issue a religious edict on such a person, because internal enemies bring most destruction and a snake in the sleeve is more likely to be deadly. Your (Mirza’s) statement that I do not what kind of sign will God exhibit is most flimsy. The way you have been appointed for a very important service and a grand task, why have you not been informed about the secrets of your mission? And when you do not know what kind of sign will be exhibited then why did you publicize the claim of heavenly sign without God’s saying so? When the Bismillah of your inspiration is itself wrong, what are you going to achieve later? It is obvious that because of this ignorance, to appoint you to the Grand Status of a Prophet cannot be the working of God, the Knower of All Hidden Things. This is the blessing of some other person (satan). I had also requested you to show the signs that are beyond human power, we didn’t ask anything more. By you have evaded that as well. Now you have forsaken half portion of your claim, from ‘HEAVENLY SIGN’ you have retained only one half, the ‘SIGN’, and this second part that is SIGN, that also you have made it obscured, because you do not know how and what it is going to be. Thus your claim has been become totally false. At long last, you are exposed. After admitting all this, I do not know why do you make this condition that to give an opinion of YES or NO, judges should be appointed. It is true that when a case is being conducted, a doubtful matter is being presented, then you need judges. But since humans do not have knowledge of the hidden, they also shoot in the dark. If your miracle is also of such doubtful nature, then you better show such miracles to shepherds of goats and excuse us. Instead of seeing the miracles of your boasting, we prefer to stay quite.” (Letter to Mirza Ghulam dated 5th August 1885, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.171-172).

—Mirza Ghulam was dumbfounded by the above, thought it wise to shut up in response. After three months Pandit wrote a post card of reminder. In reply, Mirza also sent a post card and wrote that Qadian is not far away, come and meet me, hopefully at this meeting conditions can be finalized. (Takzeeb Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya by Pandit Lekhram, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p.171-172).

—“During those days when Lekhram was determined to abuse Islam and at every sentence he used to utter abuse, in his excitement he also did this that to argue with me he came to Qadian and stayed for one month. I did not go to his village or district to debate with him, neither did I initiate correspondence with him. He himself came to me in Qadian with his beastly excitement, and all Hindus of this place are witness that he stayed for nearly 25 days in Qadian, and he could not stop himself even for a single day from extremely abusive and harsh language. In the market on the track used by Muslims, he used to hurl abuses at our Holy Prophet SAAW and used words to incite Muslims. Due to fear of disturbance of peace, I had instructed Muslims not to stand in the market at the time of his speeches and no one should try to face him. Therefore, despite the fact that every day he used to be ready to create disturbance in collaboration with some ruffians, but because of my repeated advises Muslims had suppressed their excitement. Several honorable Muslims came to me during those days complaining that this man (Pandit Lekhram) is openly slandering our Holy Prophet SAAW, and I saw that they were very agitated, then I advised them politely that he is a traveler, he has come for debate, be patient. By my repeated checking, they refrained from their agitation. And Lekhram had adopted this attitude that daily he used to come to my house and demand to see some sign or miracle, and extremely ridiculing sneering words used to come out of his mouth. Always he used to come in the morning or in the afternoon, used to slander Islam and Holy Prophet SAAW in various manners, and as the cruel Christian Padres had propagated, he used to say repeatedly that ‘your Prophet (SAAW) had not performed any miracles, neither any of His prophecies were fulfilled; just to glorify your religion Mullahs have filled the books with fake miracles’.” (Faryad-e-Dard by Mirza Ghulam p.A, mentioned in Raees-e-Qadian by Rafiq Dilawari p. 175-176).

Intro
The author of book is Molana Rafiq Dilawari and the name of the book is Raees e Qadiyan. It was published for the 2nd time in 1996. The first publication is not mentioned in this book.  He also writes that MGA’s father (in roughly 1835) was living hand to mouth in a state of poverty. Out of his weak financial position, MGA’s father had to work in nearby towns and in Kashmir. Later on, because of the business of Ahmadiyya, it was Mirza Qadiyani who changed the status of family from poverty to well being.  A friend of mine wrote the Summary and Explanation in the below.

Summary and Explanation

The author of book Raees e Qadiyan states amazing facts about The family lineage of Mirza in the light of his own claims.

He writes “that in the beginning Mirza used to introduce himself as
Muballigh e Islam and used to write Mirza before his name, meaning thereby he belongs to Mughal family. In 1897 he published his book Kitabul Barriyah and at page 134 he mentioned his lineage as Mughal Barlas and that his elders entered into Punjab from Samarkand. But to the height of stupidity, at margin of page 135 of same book he wrote that on the basis of Ilham that I received, my great grand fathers were of Persian origin.

Until 1900 Mirza stayed on the belief that he was from Persian origin contrary to the family traditions as he preferred his Ilham terming his family traditions as bundles of lies. Thus he writes in his book Arbaaeen 2 page 17 “my family traditions tell we are of Mughal lineage but now Allah swt through his revelations informed me that we are of Persia origin so we have to believe that although we don,t have any proof of family traditions otherwise”.

However Masih sb had a new somersault on this issue, when he published his Risala “AIK GHALTI KA IZALA” on 5th November 1901′ he wrote on page 16 of this book that “I am of Israelite and Fatimid origin” which means he was from the Lineage of Hazrat Ishaq a.s and Hazrat Ismail a.s simultaneously. Any way now Mirza sb became 4 in 1 i.e he was from Mughal , Persian, Israelite and Fatimid lineage.

But next year he changed his stance by claiming in his book Tohfa Golravia page 40 that his elders had entered Punjab from Chinese territories.Now mirza sb claimed to be from 5 casts simultaneously. But before his death in 1908 he once again stressed his stance of being from Chinese origin in his book Chashma Moarfat page 340 by stating that the prophesy of Mohayuddin Ibn e Arabi that Masih would be from Chinese origin . has been fulfilled in his person.

Intro
Why did Mirza Ghulam Ahmad attack all the prophets of Islam? Because Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s goal was to make a mockery of Islam as he was helping the British Government divide and conquer. Every time MGA failed a prophecy, he blamed prophets of God and mixed in the Bible-Torah narrative. When Bashir-1 died (1888)(part of the Musleh Maud prophecy), MGA immediately blamed Prophets, Muhadas’ and Saints and said that they all made mistakes in terms of prophecies (see pages 12-13)(MGA was already takfeered 4 years earlier). This was MGA’s first failed prophecy and it is connected with the Arya Samaj. MGA was creating communal strife in the Punjab, this is covered by Ian Talbot, MGA was causing communal strife in the Punjab and was specifically targeting the anti-British Arya Samaj Hindu‘s, who believed in one God (ironically)(MGA’s opposition to the Arya Samaj made the British Government happy). After stopping the publishing of his Barahin at 4 (he promised 300 arguments and stopped at 1), MGA began openly challenging the Arya Samaj Hindu’s to unreasonable challenges (like Maulvi Razi). Thus, Lekh Ram came to Qadian and began his assault on Islam, later on Lekh Ram admitted that he would have never criticized Islam if it wasn’t for MGA (see the quote in the below, via Talbot). MGA said the most embarrassing things in his tirade with Lekh Ram and in 1897, Lekh Ram died in an emergency room in Lahore (Mayo Hospital) in front of an Ahmadi Doctor (Mirza Yacub Beg). This led to the Arya Samaj Hindu’s publishing Rangila Rasul in 1927. Thus, MGA helped the British divide Muslims and Hindu’s along religious lines and made mockery of Islam.

In terms of Islam, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be greater than Esa (as)(astagfarullah)(naozobillah), better than Yusuf (as)(astagfarullah)(See Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya, Vol. 5, online english edition, page 124). However, in Islam there are hadith that say no one should say that they are better than prophets (See Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2374 and Sahih Bukhari Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 2281). MGA was so bold he said, if the signs that were shown in his (MGA) favor were shown to the people of Noah (as), they would have been saved from death via flooding. MGA even claimed to be greater than Muhammad (saw), the grandchild of Muhammad (saw), Hussain (See Page-95, “I’jaz-e-Ahmadi”, in english as “Miracle of Ahmad”). According to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad he manifested more than 10,000 miracles and the Prophet (saw) manifested only 3000. Lastly, in 1898, in MGA’s book, Ayyam-us-Sulh, MGA accused Mary (ra) of even meeting up with Joseph before she married him, he also accused Eisa (as) of being a drunkard and that Jesus’ example of morals was quite worthless and misleading. Many years later, in 1995, the 4th Khalifa, Mirza Tahir Ahmad opined that Maryam was possibly a hermaphrodite (astagfarullah).

MGA said that Muhammad (saw) (astagfarullah) had 70 companions left Islam (murtad) and in Tafsir Ibn Kathir writes that many companions of Muhammad (saw) left Islam after the failed Hajj (Treaty of Hudaybiyyah) and failed dream (nauzobillah) of Muhammad (saw). However, no one has ever found this in Tafsir ibn Kathir (See Maktubat-e-Ahmad, Maktub-12, pages 204-205, Volume-2(See scan in the below).

Furthermore, in “Tafseer e Kabeer vol,7, page 656, the 2nd Khalifa wrote:

“”If you attack Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) once in support of Hazrat Essa (Jesus) PBUH, I will attack Prophet Essa (PBUH) twenty times in support of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).””” Continue reading “Why did Mirza Ghulam Ahmad attack all the prophets of Islam?

Lekh Ram was born in 1858 in Jhelum, Punjab, British India. He was a police officer in Punjab and resigned from the government service voluntarily and devoted for propagation of Vedas even not caring for his family and only son too. He was influenced by the writings of Munshi Kanhaiya Lal Alakhdhari and came to know about Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati and Arya Samaj. He founded Arya Samaj at Peshawar (now in Pakistan) and became a preacher of Punjab Arya Pratinidhi Sabha. He also vowed to write the authentic life history of Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati. For this purpose, he travelled far and wide and collected a detailed account of the life of the founder of Arya Samaj. Pt. Lekh Ram wrote thirty three books.

In 1923, Maulvi Sanaullah wrote a book entitled, “Tarikh-i Mirza” (History of Mirza), which covered his debate with Ahmadi’s in 1902 at the village Mudh and his subsequent visit to Qadian. We have posted quotes in the below. “Tarikh-i Mirza” (History of Mirza) is a book of 64 pages. Some brothers just launched a gofundme account for this, see here. Check out Farid responds youtube channel herein for his video on this.

“Tarikh-i Mirza” (History of Mirza) talks about MGA’s book, “I‘jaz-e-Ahmadi” (The Miracle of Ahmad, 1902) and how MGA had personally invited Maulvi Sanaullah to Qadian (see page 40) as well as all the Muslims of India (see pages 9, 18 and 41), MGA mentioned Maulvi Sanaullah 70+ times in this book. On page 65, MGA prophecied that Maulvi Sanaullah would never come to Qadian. However, a few weeks after this book was published, Maulvi Sanaullah pulled up to Qadian (See Tarikh-i-Mirza) and asked to speak to MGA and etc. MGA and his team totally refused.

Mawlānā Yusuf Ludhianvi al-Shahīd wrote an essay on Qadianism back in 2020. There are lots of interesting references, the most interesting is from 192-1927 in terms of MGA and his mental diseases like hystermalaise (Melancholia) vertigo, headache, sleeplessness, heart cramps, indigestion, diarrhea and excessive urination. This disease, having occurred once in the family, was bound to penetrate into the next off- spring. Therefore the 2nd Khalifa, Mian Mahmud Ahmad, told me that occasionally, he also got an attack of Hyster-Malaise.
