No, he’s just, I mean, he couldn’t have spoken like that, you know, as you say in ME No, he was a prophet Naturally, when he spoke, he spoke with responsibility because the revelation, ma yantra quanil hawa in lesser shades applies to every other prophet Although spoken particularly about Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam But according to a lesser shade, I mean, according to the position of that prophet It applies to that prophet as well Within his own capabilities It’s impossible for him to consciously speak Anything but what is told to him And he does not speak from his own desires.
That is ma yantra quanil hawa So here, in fact, it is a reference to a verse of the Holy Quran Which tells us, is a rasul-u-uqratat When all the prophets will be raised again in time, brought in time, in fact, uqratat At the exact time which is appointed for them to come the prophets will come And Hazrat Masih Maudulay sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was revealed in another place Jari-ul-lahi fi hulal-il-anbiya He is Allah’s champion In the garbs of many prophets.
So here What is mentioned is the garbs of those prophets The person remains the same But he says that sometimes I find myself in a situation in which Abraham found himself and a fire is kindled to destroy me and Allah saves me from that fire and Sometimes I find myself in that prophet’s situation and sometimes in that prophet’s situation So though the garbs keep changing as the revelation tells us he remains the same and Again this reference to that verse of the Holy Quran.
Which I have just mentioned Has an other significance the fact is that at the time of during the night of Ascent That is Meraj Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was shown That he led in prayer All the prophets put together all of them in one instance they gathered behind him and They said their prayer behind him accepting him as his Imam now the non-Ahmadi ulema generally Think that it is some something which actually happened and it has no more significance The prophets came and said their prayers behind him and that is quite enough but according to Ahmadiyya interpretation It is a great Revelation and a great prediction about the future In fact what was meant was this that the ummah of all the ummahs of all the prophets would follow you and You will become their prophet.
Now all the prophets who are dead they can’t come again and start following as it Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam But they are represented today By their followers so if the followers begins saying their prayers behind Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and accept him as their Imam and leave their Imams and Come and follow him That is in a way the expression which is Conveyed to Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam through this pictorial version That prophets come and say their prayer behind you.
So the time when it was to come it was to be fulfilled According to some other verses of the Holy Quran and their interpretation by earlier scholars and saints Was the time of the Messiah that is the second Messiah Many an old saint in Islam has written that this prophecy Which tells us that Islam would become victorious over all other deens That is other religions They use here of all our deen-e-kulli This is going to be fulfilled at the time of the second advent of Messiah So here this verse also Has the same significance as the vision of the night of the ascent That in fact what was meant was that Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam’s deen that is religion Would conquer and overpower every other religion.
So in that sense the prophets would be following Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam This prophecy as I have told you was to be fulfilled Not only according to Ahmadiyya Muslim scholars, but by other Muslim scholars as well of past centuries So Hazrat Messiah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is the person in whose time The prophets were to come together and follow one prophet that is representative of Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam So all these things are pointing to the same person So this is why he says This is the second meaning of this that all these prophets were told by the whole World were predicted to follow one day Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and Because their religions are to be conquered by me So I am not representing all these prophets, and I am following Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
So my prayer behind Huzoor-e-Akram sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is the prayer of all these prophets You see that is why he also claimed to be a Christian Krishna in another instance also has the same meaning nothing else
