| The Quran
and Hadith on continuity of Revelation |
|
This section deals with certain important
issues in Islam. A failure to understand them properly
has given rise to the misconception that Hazrat Mirza
Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be a prophet. Also it seems that
certain people have deliberately taken advantage of these
misconceptions, to create the false impression that
Hazrat Mirza did indeed claim prophethood. The first and foremost issue is the
concept of Divine revelation (or God speaking to man) as
taught by Islam. With the ending of prophethood after the
Holy Prophet Muhammad, the highest form of Divine
revelation, which was exclusive to prophets, has also
terminated. But lower forms of revelation, which were
always received by both prophets and non-prophet holy men
alike, still continue.

We first establish from
the Holy Quran and the Hadith that revelation continues
among Muslims, and explain its purpose. We then present
instances of revelation coming to non-prophets, including
examples of revelation to the Holy Prophet's Companions
during his life-time. We then extensively quote from the
writings of recognized Muslim religious authorities and
scholars, from the early days of Islam till the present
day, to show that revelation continues and give actual
instances of revelation coming to various saints.
Lastly, we present Hazrat
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's views on Wahy Nubuwwat (Revelation
of the Prophets) and Wahy Wilayat (revelation of the
Saints) and his insistence that he was a recipient of
nothing more than Wahy Wilayat. Also, included is Hazrat
Mirza's definition of a Muhaddas, the status to which he
really lay claim.
