<strong>The</strong> Elipse <strong>of</strong> <strong>Islam</strong>________________________________________________________on July 28, 1917. In this article he described Sufism as ‘jugglery’. <strong>What</strong> kind<strong>of</strong> teachings is found in the Sufi books? I cannot give detail here but I havegiven a few examples in my book Saleem key Naam Khu<strong>to</strong>ot (Letters <strong>to</strong>Saleem), Volume III.<strong>The</strong> claim <strong>of</strong> Mirza Ghulam AhmadWhen this belief <strong>of</strong> Sufism (which was based on the Shia concept <strong>of</strong>mohaddas) opened the door <strong>of</strong> divine inspiration, then naturally there was apossibility <strong>of</strong> claiming prophet hood. Hence, Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani,climbing on these stairs, claimed that he reached the status <strong>of</strong> a prophet.First he wrote:“Our prophet is the last among the prophets. No prophet can come <strong>after</strong>him. That is why in Sharia (<strong>Islam</strong>ic law) mohaddases are the vicegerents <strong>of</strong>the Prophet.” (Shahadat Al Quran, p-28)At another place he writes: “I did not say anything <strong>to</strong> people except what Ihave written in my books that I am a mohaddas and God communicateswith me as he did with other mohaddases.” (Himayat Al Bushra, p-96)In view <strong>of</strong> our earlier discussion, it is not difficult <strong>to</strong> understand where Mr.Mirza borrowed the idea <strong>of</strong> Mohaddas from? Its source is Shia and Sufiliterature.For example:As we mentioned earlier, the concept <strong>of</strong> Mohaddas was first appearedamong the Shias. It was argued that in verse: And We did not send beforeyou any messenger or prophet, but when He desired, (22/52) there was theword Mohaddas <strong>after</strong> prophet (Nabi) which is not present in the Quran. Toauthenticate his claim <strong>of</strong> “Mohaddas” Mr. Mirza also quoted this verse withthe addition <strong>of</strong> Mohaddas.______________________________________________________________<strong>What</strong> happened <strong>to</strong> <strong>Islam</strong> <strong>after</strong> <strong>Umar</strong>?
