"Till forty years, O brother mine Era of that Cavalier I see".<br />
"From that day, the Imam (here Mirza calls himself Imam; in the couplet he calls himself<br />
Cavalier) will reveal his self, as one who is divinely inspired. He will have a life of forty<br />
years thereafter. Now let it be clear that this humble has been commissioned for<br />
preaching the truth by special revelation in fortieth year of his life and has been given a<br />
good news that "Thine age is up to eighty years or thereabout". Therefore, by this<br />
revelation, my preaching commission is proved to last 40 years, out of which full ten<br />
Years have already passed". (Nishan-e-Aasmani, p. 14; Roohani Khazain Vol . 4, p.374).<br />
Respected Readers: Mirza wrote this booklet, Nishan-e-Aasmani, in June,1892, as is<br />
written on its title page. Mirza acknowledged that 10 years had already passed and 30<br />
more years remained for him to live (to complete the forty-year Commission of the<br />
promised Masih). In other words, Mirza should have lived up to the year 1922, but Mirza<br />
died in 1908. So his claim of being promised Masih was a lie and his revelation of living<br />
for the said forty years was a hoax.<br />
Proof No. 4: Masih Ibne Mariam, Allah's Mercy on him, shall marry.<br />
Hadith Sh<strong>are</strong>ef has it that Masih Ibn Mariam, Allah's mercy on him, shall marry. (Ret.<br />
Mishkat, p.480). Mirza Qadiani while mentioning the above Hadith in his book, Nishane-Aasmani,<br />
writes:<br />
"For corroboration of this prediction (Viz., Mirza's illusory, 'heavenly Nikah With<br />
~uhammadi Begum), the holy Prophet of Allah has also previously predicted that the<br />
promised Masih will take a wife and have children. Now it is obvious that this mention of<br />
Marriage and children normally bears no signlficance because every one generally<br />
marries and has children. There is no excellence in it. But here marriage means special<br />
marriage as a token and by children is meant<br />
MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD IN THE<br />
MIRROR OF HIS OWN WRITINGS<br />
PREFACE<br />
Truth and untruth <strong>are</strong> two on-going serials of the world. But Allah, Exalted in<br />
Munificence, has bestowed some distinctive factors enabling a man of ordinary<br />
understanding and common sense to identify one from the other. Praise to Him.<br />
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (India) made a number of claims for himself, from<br />
being a 'Revivalist' to being a 'Prophet'. The falsehood or otherwise of a claim is easily<br />
identifiable through several tokens of cognisance which Allah, the Exalted, has laid<br />
down.<br />
But the easiest pointer, readily available, is Mirza's own writings about which he himself<br />
said that his writings were a touchstone to check upon the veracity of his claims. I,<br />
therefore, invite readers to go through his written statements and judge for themselves.
