The Fraud of Messiah 2000 Conference
Dr. Dowie and Mirza Ghulam A Qadiani
Who is the real culprit?
Part III
"This man whose name is mentioned in the title was an extreme enemy of Islam and moreover he laid a false claim to prophethood and used to consider Holy Prophet Muhammed SAAW as liar and fabricator and by his evil nature, he used to utter obsceneties and lewd sentences for Him. Thus because of his enemosity for this religion he had extremely impious qualities in him and just as pearls have no value for pigs, similarly he used to look down upon the Monotheism of Islam and wanted to destroy it. And used to consider Jesus as God and had so much enthusiasm to spread Trinity in the world, that although I had read hundreds of books of Padres but have not seen such fervour in anyone. Thus in his newspaper, Leaves of Healing dated 19th December 1903 and 14th February 1907, these words are mentioned:
"I pray to God that soon that day comes when Islam is vanished from this world. Amen. O God Vanquish Islam."
And then in his newspaper of 12th December 1903, declaring himself a true prophet and a true messenger, he says:
'If I am not a true prophet then there is no prophet of God on the face of earth.'" (so this is what really bothered him - compiler)
(Roohani Khazain vol.22 pp. 504-505. Published on 15th May 1907)
Note the dates (only years, no month or day mentioned) of Mirza's letters to Dowie and the dates of Dowie's response. Mirza could not produce any reference to Dowie's alleged insults of Islam or its Holy Prophet of Islam. It is obvious that Dowie's first outburst against Islam and alleged outburst against Holy Prophet of Islam (for which Mirza could not produce any proofs in his books) took place only after Mirza started writing to him. And even then Dowie continued to ignore him for a long time until Mirza's stooges/masters started printing his attacks on Dowie in Ameircan newspapers.
"My challenge of Mubahila was published well in various American dailies and famous newspapers. and these newspapers belong to American Christains with whom I have no relations and the reason for publishing them in the newspapers was this that Dr. Dowie, the false prophet, did not replied to me directly. Ultimately I published that Mubahila challenge in famous American daily newspapers which are distributed excessively in the world. It is the blessing of God that despite these newspaper editors' being Christians and opponents of Islam, still they enthusiastically published this article of Mubahila in such amount that it bacme famous in America and Europe." (Roohani Khazain vol.22 p.507)
"Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Saheb from Punjab is sending a challenge to Dowie that: O you who claims to be a prophet! Come and do Mubahila with me. Our fight will be with prayers and both of us will pray to God that whoever is a Liar between us should die first." (Daily Telegraph 5th July 1903, quoted in Roohani Khazain vol.22 p.506 footnote)
"Dowie at first paid no public attention directly to the challenge from Far East. But on 25th of September 1903, he said in his Zion City publication: 'People sometimes ask me.. why do I not reply to this, that and other thing? Reply! Do I put my foot on them I would crush out their lives. I give them a chance to fly away and live.' Only once did he show in any way tht he knew of the existence of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. He referred to him as the 'foolish Mahometan Messiah', and on Dec. 12, 1903, he wrote: 'If I am not God's prophet, there is none on God's earth that is.' In the following January he wrote, 'My part is to bring out the people from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, and settle them in this and other Zion cities until the time shall come when the Mahometans are swept away... may God grant us that time." (Excerpts from The Sunday Herald-Boston, June 23, 1907-Magazine Section, published in a tract, 'Great is Mirza Ghulam Ahmad The Messiah, by Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya, USA)
It seems that the purpose of these repeated insults was to irritate Dr. Dowie. Mirza was very successful in it. His repeated insults provoked Dr. Dowie into issuing insulting statements about Islam and alleged derogatory remarks about the Holy Prophet of Islam (pbuh).
"There is a stupid Mohammadi Messiah in India who writes to me repeatedly that the grave of Jesus Christ is in Kashmir; people ask me that why I don't reply about it, why I don't reply this man? What do you think that I would reply to the flies, mosquitoes? If I put my foot on them, I will crush them to death." (Statement of Dowie dated December 1903 and 26th September 1903 in Haqiqatul Wahi, Roohani Khazain Vol 22 p. 509)
"I pray to God that the day is dawned soon when Islam vanishes from the earth. Amen. Oh God may you destroy Islam." (From Leaves of Healing dated 19th December 1903 and 14th Feb 1907 quoted in Roohani Khazain Vol. 22 p. 505)
Mirza lamented:
"Let it be clear that this man (Dowie) .....was a strong enemy of Islam and apart from this, he made a false claim to Prophethood and he used to consider Hazrat Muhammed Mustapha (pbuh) a lair and fabricator and due to his baseness he used to remember him with obscenities and filthy words... he was extreme enemy of our Holy Prophet (pbuh). I used to get his newspaper "News of Healing" an always used to get information about his vicious tongue. When his excesses reached a peak, I sent a letter to him and requested him for MUBAHILA so that God may kill the lair amongst the two of us in the life of truthful person. This request was sent to him twice i.e. in 1902 and in 1903 and was also printed in some renowned newspapers of America." (Haqeeqat-ul-Wahi, Roohani Khazain p.505)
With the help of Jewish lobby the news this challenge was published in almost all newspapers of Europe & America, out of which a list of 32 newspapers was printed by Mirza Ghulam in Haqeeqat-ul-Wahi pp.506-508. These papers carried the news of this mubahila between 25th June and 1st July 1903.
"I wrote in this (Mubahila) that Dr. Dowie is a lair in his claim to prophethood and in his belief of Trinity. If he do the Mubahila with me, he will die in my lifetime with great misery and remorse and if he doesn't do mubahila, still he wouldn't escape the wrath of God." (Haqeeqatul-Wahi, Roohani Khazain, vol 22 p.505)
Although Mirza had issued the challenge but he was afraid of his old age. He wrote:
"I am nearly 70 years of age and Dowie as he says is a young man of 50, but I did not care of my old age .... and if even Dowie flees the Mubahila .... believe me that very soon a great catastrophe is going to befall Zion." (Ibid. p.506 foot note)
(One wonders if Mirza had some inside information about the Zionist schemes!!)
"Sufferings afflicted every aspect of his life. He was proved to be dishonest....he turned out to be an alcoholic...... he was thrown out of his own settlement of Zion with great sorrow..... 7 million Rupees that was is his possession was confiscated; and his wife and his son became his enemy and his father gave advertisement that he (Dowie) was an illegitimate child.....every kind of humiliation was decreed for him and finally he was paralyzed. Then due to a amassing of miseries he became mad....and finally in the first week of March 1907 he died with great grief, pain and misery." (Ibid. p.512)
Such quick end of his opponent was a pleasant surprise for Mirza as well:
"On Feb. 9th, 1907 I had an inspiration: 'You will dominate' and then on the same date I had this inspiration: '....you will get one more sign of happiness due to which you will have a great Win'....Dowie died so quickly after this prophecy that only 15 days had passed on announcing it and Dowie died." (Ibid. p.510-511)
"Since my real job is to break the cross, thus by his death a big portion of cross is broken....thus God killed him by my hands. I know that because of his death the prophecy of " killing the swine" is clearly fulfilled, since who can be more dangerous than the one who lay a claim to prophethood and like a pig ate the dung of lies ......thus I can swear that he by the same swine whose killing was foretold by the Holy Prophet that he will be killed at the hands of Promised Messiah." (Ibid. p.513)
CELEBRATIONS AT THE DEATH OF DR. DOWIE
"Khan Sahib Abdul Hameed wrote to (Mirza) for permission to celebrate the great sign of Dowie. Hazrat Sb (Mirza ) gave permission and said that throwing such party is permissible to advertise the blessing." (Roohani Khazain, Malfoozat, Vol 9 p.238)
ADVERTISING THE BLESSINGS OR A SHOW OF VANITY
After the death of Dowie, Mirza Ghulam publicized two caricatures of Dr. Dowie depicting his lifestyle before illness and his miserable state after his downfall in his book Haqeeqat-ul-Wahi. It is interesting to note that along side both caricatures, he had placed his own photograph, perhaps to impress, the public with his looks. Little did he know that some day someone will also portray his miserable end with cholera, the day which will come soon InshaAllah. Our caricature is ready to be produced at appropriate time.
Conclusion:
This Messiah 2000 was organised by Jamaat Ahmadiyya to prove that as a result of this so-called_one_sided prayer duel, Dowie died within the lifetime of Mirza, thus proving him to be a liar and Mirza to be a true prophet of God. However, the question remains that if both the claimants (Dowie and Mirza) are liars in their claim to prophethood, would the conclusion drawn by Ahmadiyya be still valid?
Furthermore this interfaith conference was to to show the beautiful face of tolerance, love and peace of Jamaat Ahmadiyya with other religions. All along during the propaganda of this interfaith conference, Jamaat Ahmadiyya had been giving an impression as if it was Dr. Dowie who had exhibited an intolerant attitude and that the 'peace_loving love_for_all_haterd_for_none Jamaat' is once again showing a magnanimous gesture of trying to promote religious harmony. However the quotations from the books of Mirza Ghulam prove to the contrary.
It was Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani who provoked Dr. Alexander Dowie into making the alleged insulting remarks about Islam and its Holy Prophet. He served his own purpose, and served his Masters well. How else 100 years ago could 32 different newspapers in US alone all of a sudden pick up a story from a small village in remote Indian Punjab and propagate it worldwide? Who stood to gain from it? Mirza Ghulam? Yes because he was desparately trying to establish his claim of prophet hood. Jews? Yes because they did not want a Jewish National Home in Zion, they wanted it in Palestine.
The lies and deciets of Jamaat Ahmadiyya and its founder stand exposed. Once again they have tried to shamelessly decieve and cheat the public and the press.
Thus heed the message, O you who have eyes. Peace be on those who follow the hidayah
