Opinion of the Sahāba ra , Ā’immah, and Mujaddidīn rh 235<br />

his giving effect <strong>to</strong> the Islāmic law is not inconsistent<br />

with his being a prophet and a messenger. 226<br />

Therefore, all the Muslims are waiting for a prophet <strong>to</strong> come in<br />

the Latter Days as their Messiah. The only difference is summed<br />

up in this question: Who is that person? The non-Ahmadīs say<br />

that it is Hazrat ‘Īsā as while the Ahmadī Muslims say that he has<br />

died, according <strong>to</strong> the Qur’ān, and the prophecy about his<br />

coming has been fulfilled in the person of Hazrat Mirzā Ghulām<br />

Ahmad Qadiānī as .<br />

As it was mentioned in the beginning of this chapter, it<br />

must be remembered that the quotations that Farhan Khan has<br />

presented mostly reiterate the sayings of the Holy Prophet<br />

<strong>Muhammad</strong> sa without going in<strong>to</strong> any details. The fact is that all<br />

those mujaddidīn believed in the coming of a latter day prophet<br />

even if some of them considered him <strong>to</strong> be ‘Īsā as of the Israelites.<br />

Their opinion on who that latter day prophet was going <strong>to</strong> be is<br />

merely an opinion of theirs regarding a prophecy of the Holy<br />

Prophet <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa that was never fulfilled in their lifetime.<br />

Instead, this prophecy was fulfilled in the year 1891 when<br />

Hazrat Mirzā Ghulām Ahmad Qādiānī as claimed <strong>to</strong> be the<br />

Promised Messiah and Imām Mahdī, whose advent was<br />

prophesied by the Holy Prophet <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa .<br />

To illustrate this, we use the example of Hazrat Imām Ibn<br />

Taymiyya rh , mujaddid of the 7 th century of Islām. In the same<br />

book from which Farhan Khan quoted, that is, Book of Emaan:<br />

According <strong>to</strong> the classical works of Shaikhul Islām Ibn Taymiyya,<br />

translated by Dr. <strong>Muhammad</strong> Naim Yasin, Hazrat Imām Ibn<br />

Taymiyya discusses the descent of Jesus as as follows on Page<br />
