After
the death of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in May 1908, the
headstone fixed over his grave in Qadian by his followers
bore the inscription given below: Janab Mirza
Ghulam Ahmad sahib Qadiani, Chief of Qadian, the
Promised Messiah, Mujaddid of the Fourteenth Century,
date of death 26 May 1908
If Hazrat Mirza had indeed
claimed to be a prophet, his followers would never have
inscribed the words Mujaddid (Reformer) of the
Fourteenth Century on his gravestone. This inscription stayed
as such for about twenty-five years, but was then altered
by deleting the words "Mujaddid of the Fourteenth
Century". The word `prophet', however, was still not
added.
