If Hazrat
Mirza had indeed claimed to be a prophet, he would not
have called himself a follower and subordinate of the
Holy Prophet Muhammad, as in the following quotes: ``Almighty God says [in the Holy
Quran]: wa ma arsal-na min rasul-in illa li-yuta`a
bi-izn Allah. That is, every messenger (rasul)
is sent to be a master and leader, not to be a disciple
and subordinate of someone else.''
(Izala
Auham, p. 569)
``No messenger (rasul)
comes into the world as a disciple and subordinate.
Rather, he is a leader, and follows only his revelation
which descends on him through angel Gabriel.''
(Izala
Auham, p. 576)
``I have not made any
claim to prophethood (nubuwwat). This is your
mistake, or perhaps you have some motive in mind. Is it
necessary that a person who claims to receive revelation
should also be a prophet(nabi)? I am a Muslim, and
fully follow Allah and His Messenger.''
(Jang
Muqaddas, p. 67)
