Mirza Qadiani: Children Will Prophesy in Time of Promised Messiah

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الصلاة والسلام عليك يا سيدى يا رسول الله وعلى آلك واصحابك يا سيدى يا نور الله

In the Name of Allah, the Rahman, the Merciful

Prayers and peace be upon you, my Master, Apostle of Allah

And upon your Family and Companions, my Master, Light of Allah

The antichrist and false prophet Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian said:

مگر مسیح موعود کے زمانہ کو اس سے بھی بڑھ کر ایک خصوصیت ہے اور وہ یہ کہ پہلے نبیوں کی کتابوں میں اور احادیث نبویّہ میں لکھا ہے کہ مسیح موعود کے ظہور کے وقت انتشار نورانیت اس حد تک ہوگا کہ عورتوں کو بھی الہام شروع ہو جا‏ئگا اور نابالغ بچّے نبوّت کرینگے۔ اور عوام الناس روح القدس سے بولیں گے۔ اور یہ سب کچھ مسیح موعود کی روحانیت کا پرتوہ ہوگا۔

The age of the Promised Messiah, however, has even greater distinction in that it is recorded in the books of earlier Prophets and Hadith of the Holy Prophet that, at the time of his advent, this radiation of spirituality will become so universal that women too will begin to receive revelations, minors will make prophecies, and ordinary people will be inspired by the Holy Spirit. All this will be a reflection of the spirituality of the Promised Messiah. (Ruhani Khaza’in, v.13, p.475, Dururat ul-Imam, pp.4-5)

Mirza of Qadian must have been referring to the following passage in the prophetic Book of Joel: “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit” (Joel 2:28-29, KJV) also quoted by Saint Peter in Acts of the Apostles as referring to the phenomenon that was witnessed at Pentecost when the Disciples of Jesus spoke in Tongues by the Holy Spirit: “But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy” (Acts 2:16-18).

‏In these days a woman has emerged from the Qadiani sect claiming to be a prophetess, as well as claiming to be Jesus, and issued a challenge that if she is not able to remove Mirza Masrur Ahmad, the present Qadiani leader, then she is Satan, otherwise she should be acknowledged as God!

In fact, many individuals emerged from the Qadiani milieu claiming to be prophets or otherwise inspired by the Holy Spirit with new revelations, including during the lifetime of Mirza of Qadian, who were excommunicated by him and thereafter by the organization he established. Consider Chiragh Din of Jammu, Babu Elahi Bakhsh of Lahore and Dr. Abdul-Hakim of Patiala, all men who were initially disciples of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad but subsequently claimed to be recipients of revelation and were expelled from his group.
