A prophet of God is a Messenger. He delivers the message to his people, because he is commanded to do so by his lord, God. Lot delivered his message to Sodom and Gomorrah, but they did not listen, so God destroyed them.
What is the message of each prophet? The Quran answers this question very specifically: 'Say, "Oh ye men, if you are in doubt as to my religion, then know that I worship not those whom you worship beside Allah, but I worship Allah alone who causes you to die, and I have been commanded to be of the believers."' (10:105)
The prophet of God has no choice but to deliver the message to his people even though he is well aware that they may not want it. More than likely, he will be rebuffed and rejected. When he continues to preach that there is One God and only One God, they will start to threaten him. If he does not stop preaching, they torture the weakest of his followers and hurt them by any means possible, hoping to eliminate them. But it is impossible, because although they are small in number, God is on their side.
This story is repeated with Noah, Moses, Lot, Jesus and many other prophets of God. The pattern is the same. Why? Because God is trying to re-establish righteousness in the earth. The people receive the message and then start to change it over time until, after centuries, it doesn't resemble the original message of One God at all.
The most recent prophet of God was the Promised Messiah. Everyone is waiting for the Messiah, but no one can find him. The Quran warns such people: "And be not thou of those who reject the Signs of Allah, or thou shalt be of the losers." (10:96)
When you hear that there is a Prophet of God, investigate his claim and if you find him honest and truthful, accept him. Follow his teaching and you will be one of the most fortunate people on the Day of Reckoning. An excellent book to read on the life of the Promised Messiah is Iain Adamson's book "Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian." You can order it at: www.alislam.org.
Pray for knowledge. God is not dead. He is alive and well. He answers the prayers of his faithful. Pray for knowledge of the Promised Messiah. God sends the prophet as a warner, but he also delivers glad tidings to the people who believe in the messenger:
"Behold! the friends of Allah shall certainly have no fear, nor shall they grieve.Those who believed and kept to righteousness--" (10:63-64)
The Quran warns us that everyone will get trials in life. No one is exempt from trials. So the difference is in the end. What end would you rather face? Heaven where the righeous abide, or other place where the world-loving people go. Our essence is spiritual. We must never forget that, so a good end is the supreme triumph.

One of the basic principles those Quran Described must need to be addressed by Mirza and his fellows before we proceed with his claim for Prophethood as again being told in this article and consistantly refused such status is various Qadiani discussion which is another contradiction," O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” (5:51)"
ReplyDeleteRest before annoucing such status Qadianis must clear the most basic accusation on Mirza Qadiani that "Has any prophet in Islamic history ever claim prophethood from the middle of any time later in his life or he has been the Prophet from the day one and if any them name please""?
Is there any Prophet who refused all earlier teachings, most or the part of and claims something very new or reinterprete things in newer way then ever before?
