This post records the updated information mentioned in the latest edition of Ahmadiyya’s holy book TADHKIRAH about “Alam Kabab”, one of the failed prophecies of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (MGAQ).
Who is Mrs. Ha Meem?
”Ha Meem” [حم] is the first verse in the following chapters of Quran: “Ghaafir”, “Fussilat”, “Ash-shooraa”, “Az-zukhruf”, “Ad-dukhaan”, “Al-Jaathiyah” and “Al-Ahqaaf”
[تلك آيات الكتاب المبين] is the second verse in the following Chapters of Quran: “Ash-shuara” and “Al-Qasas”. It is also part of the first verse of Surat “Yousuf”.
MGAQ claimed that he had received these two Quranic verses by revelation. He also claimed that the verse “Ha Meem” is an abbreviation of the name “Muhammadi Begum”. However Muhammadi Begum here is not the widow whom MGAQ should have married.
((April 1908: The wife of Miyan Manzur Muhammad who lived in the house of the Promised Messiah [as], is suffering from tuberculosis and the Promised Messiah [as] received the following revelation concerning her: “Ha Meem, These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) manifest” حم تلك آيات الكتاب المبين The word Ha Meem mentions the name of the patient briefly; the meanings of the other words are that there are many Signs in it which have been determined in the Book of God)) – Tadhkirah, Edition 2009, page 998 (Click Here)
Who is Alam Kabab?
In 1906, MGAQ prophesized that the pregnant Mrs. Ha Meem shall deliver a baby boy whose name is “Alam Kabab”.
((June 7, 1906: It has been conveyed to me by revelation that in the family of Miyan Manzur Muhammad, that is to Muhammadi Begum, a son will be born, who will have two names:
(1) Bashirud-Daulah (2) ‘Alam Kabab
Both of these names were revealed to me. My interpretation and understanding concerning these is as follows:
Bashirud-Daulah means that he would be a good augury for our glory and prosperity. After his birth (or after his achieving his discretion), the prophecy concerning the great earthquake and other prophecies will be fulfilled and a large number of people will turn to us and a great victory will be achieved.
‘Alam Kabab means that within a few months of his birth, or before he achieves his discretion, the world would be overtaken by a great calamity as if it was coming to an end. That is why that boy has been named ‘Alam Kabab. In short, this boy will be called Bashir-ud-Daulah as he will be a Sign of our glory and prosperity and he will be ‘Alam Kabab because he will be an example of the Judgment Day for our opponents)) – Tadhkirah, Edition 2009, page 831 (Click Here)
A Word and Two Girls
Do you know the difference between “A girl and two girls” and “A word and two girls”? The answer is there in Tadhkirah:
((June 7, 1906: Thereafter, it has been conveyed to me that this boy has two other names also: (1) Shadi Khan, as he will be a token of joy for this Community and (2) Kalimatullah Khan, because he will be a word of God. It has been so appointed from the beginning and will be fulfilled in this age. It is ordained that God will keep the mother of this boy alive till this prophecy is fulfilled. A previous revelation: [English] A word and two girls; refers to the same prophecy. Miyan Manzur Muhammad has two daughters and when the Kalimatullah will be born then the prophecy A word and two girls would be fulfilled)) – Tadhkirah, Edition 2009, page 832 (Click Here)
More Names for Mr. Alam Kabab
((June 19, 1906: The names of the son of Miyan Manzur Muhammad, who will be a Sign, have been conveyed by revelation of Allah are as follows: (1) Kalimatul-‘Aziz (2) Kalimatullah Khan (3) [English] Word (4) Bashirud-Daulah (5) Shadi Khan (6) ‘Alam Kabab (7) Nasirud-Din (8) Fatehud-Din (9) [Arabic] [This is a blessed day] )) – Tadhkirah, Edition 2009, page 836 (Click Here)
A Word and Three Girls!
In May, 1907, MGAQ wrote:
((Earlier, I had received the divine revelation that the earthquake that will be an example of the Judgment Day was imminent. The Sign appointed for it was that Muhammadi Begum, the wife of Pir Manzur Muhammad Ludhianavi will give birth to a son. Since that boy would be a Sign for the appearance of the earthquake, he would be named Bashirud-Daulah, indicating that he would be a good augury for our prosperity. Similarly, he would be named ‘Alam Kabab, indicating that if the people do not repent the world would be overtaken by great calamities. Similarly, he would be named Kalimatullah and Kalimatul ‘Aziz because he would be the Word of God that will appear at its due time. He will also bear other names.
Thereafter, I prayed that the appearance of this severe earthquake may be delayed somewhat. The revelation from Allah the Almighty mentions that supplication and then provides the response to it. As He has said: “Oh My Lord, postpone the time of this one. Allah has postponed it to a certain date“. That is, Allah has accepted this supplication and has postponed the earthquake to another time. This revelation was published in Badr and al-Hakam about four months ago. Since the earthquake—the example of Judgment Day—has been delayed, it was also necessary that the birth of the boy be also delayed. Accordingly, a daughter was born to Pir Manzur Muhammad on Tuesday, July 17, 1906. This is a Sign of the acceptance of the supplication and the truthfulness of the divine revelation that had been published four months before the daughter was born. However, earthquakes of a smaller magnitude must continue to occur, but it is imperative that the earthquake of the example of the Judgment Day be postponed till that boy is born. Bear in mind that it is a Sign of the mercy of Allah that by creating a daughter, He comforted us regarding the predicted affliction, that is, the earthquake of the example of the Judgment Day. It has been postponed in accordance with. If the boy had been born, there would have been great apprehension and fear at the occurrence of every earthquake in fear that the appointed time has come and the postponement would have not been believed. But now the postponement has been tied to the fulfillment of a condition)) – Tadhkirah, Edition 2009, page 870 (Click Here)
((In this respect Allah the Almighty has revealed to me that as happened during the time of Prophet Isaiah, that in accordance with the prophecy of that prophet, a woman named Alma bore a son. Afterwards the king Hezekiah gained victory over Pekah**. Similarly, before the earthquake, the wife of Pir Manzur Muhammad Ludhianavi whose name is Muhammadi Begum, will bear a son. That boy will be a precursor of the major earthquake which will be an example of the Day of Judgment. It is necessary that prior to that, minor earthquakes should take place. The boy will have the names as detailed below: Bashirud-Daulah—because he will be Sign of our victory; Kalimatullah Khan—that is, the Word of the Almighty Allah; ‘Alam Kabab; Word; Shadi Khan; Kalimatul-‘Aziz—because he would be the Word of God that will bring victory for the truth. All creation is the words of God. Therefore, naming someone Kalimatullah is not something unusual. That boy has not been born this time because Allah the Almighty has said: “Allah has postponed it to a certain date”. That is: The earthquake that will be an example of Judgment Day has been postponed)) – Tadhkirah, Edition 2009, page 876 (Click Here)
No Word but Three Girls
Jalal-ud-Din Shams wrote the following about Mrs. Ha Meem:
((Her name was Muhammadi Begum. She finally died on October 9, 1908)) – Tadhkirah, p998 footnote, Al Badr, vol. 7, no. 39, October 15, 1908, pp. 1–2 (Click Here)
Subhanallah! The boy Alam Kabab had failed to show up!
Fuad,
Here is a quote from Badr Feb 23rd, 1906 and Hakm 24 Feb, 1906..
The original prophecy…
“I saw that a boy is born at Manzur Muhammad’s home. I am asked what should the boy be named. Then my state moved to revelation from that of dream and I was informed “Basheerud Daula”.( Promised Messiah (as) ) said “We pray for many people. I don’t know what is meant by the words “Manzoor Muhammad”. It is possible that Basheerud Daula may be a boy born at Miyan Manzoor Muhammad’s home whose birth will become a cause of prosperity and wealth……….”
Now from the onset, Promised Messiah (as) has indicated that the prophecy could be interpreted according to the meanings of name.. Manzoor Muhammad.. i.e., the one on whom Holy Prophet (saw) looks with Favour. This is a principle of interpreting dreams that some times the names of people seen in dream contain the message..
All the subsequent names are qualities of one person… The 2nd Khalifatul Masih (may Allah be please with him), The promised Son, al-Musleh Al-Mau’ood. .. The earthquake which was delayed was the World War which shook the world soon after his succession to Khilafat.
The details you have added here are useful as you have admitted that one prophecy was fulfilled. i.e., birth of the girl four months after the prophecy was published..
The interpretation about the birth of the son to Mazoor Muhammad was one of the possible interpretatiopns of the original prophecy.. and if Promised Messiah (as) favoured one interpration over the other, it was a matter of Ijtehad. The truth of the prophecy is in its fulfillment.
Lutf
Did u read this june 1906 and may 1907 statements quoted by brother Fuad?
why u keep ignoring mirza ghulam’s own writings?
by the way that earth quake was suppose to come in Mirza ‘s life time that didnt happened either
so u see multiple prophecies got failed and u still cant see the truth
think about it
Excellent! Good read Brother Fuad. Ahmadis will you wake up from your slumber and contemplate that this man didn’t even have 50-50 prophecies in his favor, is this not a sign for you to leave this cult? Return to the beauty which is Islam, do you not think why you’re having to defend every single aspect of this mans life? These are not characteristics of Prophets, may Allah (SWT) guide us all and awaken the sleeping heart of Ahmadis, Ameen.
Time and time again you have drawn back the curtain revealing the “Wizard of Qadian” to be nothing more than a common charlatan. Yet his adherents and paid lackeys are busily trying to show that he is still truly a wizard. To such people, God doesn’t really exist. They have taken their vanity as their god.
Nice, clear, logical and damning article again brother Fuad. Masha’Allah.
@Lutf
You said: ((The details you have added here are useful as you have admitted that one prophecy was fulfilled. i.e., birth of the girl four months after the prophecy was published)).
You are referring to the following statement of MGAQ dated 15 May 1907:
((Since the earthquake—the example of Judgment Day—has been delayed, it was also necessary that the birth of the boy be also delayed. Accordingly, a daughter was born to Pir Manzur Muhammad on Tuesday, July 17, 1906. This is a Sign of the acceptance of the supplication and the truthfulness of the divine revelation that had been published four months before the daughter was born))
This means that you have accepted two things:
(1) The prophecy clearly refers to the person who got a girl on 17-Jul-1906, that is: Miyan Manzur Muhammad the companion of MGAQ.
(2) The birth of the boy had been delayed to be after 17-Jul-1906
However you still want us to accept your funny interpretation that “Alam Kabab” is your Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood who was born in 1889.
With regard to your quote from Badr Feb 23rd, 1906, you should have noticed that the names of both Miyan Manzur Muhammad and Muhammadi Begum have been received from Yalaash himself through his later revelations:
((It has been conveyed to me by revelation that in the family of Miyan Manzur Muhammad, that is to Muhammadi Begum, a son will be born))
((June 19, 1906: The names of the son of Miyan Manzur Muhammad, who will be a Sign, have been conveyed by revelation of Allah))
((The names of the son of Miyan Manzur Muhammad, who will be a Sign, have been conveyed by revelation of Allah))
((I had received the divine revelation that the earthquake that will be an example of the Judgment Day was imminent. The Sign appointed for it was that Muhammadi Begum, the wife of Pir Manzur Muhammad Ludhianavi will give birth to a son)).
Fuad.. As I mentioned before, and hope this is the last time I have to repeat this fact.. The prophecy could have been interpreted from two angles.. The first one was to interpret the name “Manzur Muhammad”.A fact recorded in literature, predating the other references you have supplied… And the second one was to apply it to Miyan Manzur Muhammad Ludhianvi.. It does not matter which of the two became true.. What matters is that the subsequent events ensured that the prophecy from Allah to His messenger was fulfilled in all its detaisl.
The earthquake linked to the birth of the son was actually WW1, linked to the appointment of the Promised son to the office of Khilafat..
Your ears are bleeding!!!! MGA has you under his spell…
He might wanna marry off one of your pre-teen children in an attempt to please allah..(cough) (cough),i mean Yalesh…Ever heard of mirza mubarak Ahmad??
MGA cleverly disguised his predictions so that they could have 10000000 different interpretations…
Lutf…your life is laaaaame..
Lutf
thing is mirza ghulam himself explained that earth quake got delayed for son was not born to muhammadi begum
but ur saying not it was not again ignoring mirza ghulam
Mirza ghulam also said earthquake will be in his life time other wise he is not from GOD was WW! in his life time? NO
Please notice that in the case of Piggot, MGA didnt issue any kind of verdict that the prophecy was delayed.
Excellent work, mashAllah br. Fuad.
May Allah guide them to the right path for sure I know there are some innocent people who are unaware of how big of a fraud Ahmadiyyat is and shamelessly they are using the name of Islam to propagate their cult business and mislead the mainstream Muslims, especially the young ones who are unaware of this evil cult established by MIRZA and his family et. al.
Interestingly, the respected admin of ahmedi.org wrote to me and informed me that the original “ilham” by Mirza was actually “A word and two girl”. That’s right, Mirza’s god, Yalaash, was an Indian whose command of English was rather limited.
Shame on the cult leaders who peddle this fraud and shame on those who supposedly consider themselves thinkers who continue to follow this charlatan’s bogus revelations, transparently self-concocted garbage to fool those who knew no better. Didn’t the translators feel shame in correcting the Yalaashi wahi?
From “Words of god not can exchange” to “a word and two girl”, Mirza must have loved how easy the religion business was.
Assalamu Aleikum Shahid,
Do you have a reference to the original ilham : “A word and two girl”. Thanks.
Wslm wr wb
Here is the response from Ahmedi.org admin:
http://alislam.org/library/books/tadhkirah/?page=534&VScroll=14016#top (ilham of June 07 1906 on page 534) In the footnote below, the English translation is “A word and two girls”
I think Mirza Sahib made up this ilhaam in Urdu and then asked someone for English translation of each word separately (or look up in a dictionary). Then he combined those words to build the ilhaam.
Kalima = Word
Do = two
Ladki = girl
A word and two girl.
Thanks, I read it clearly in the text. In the footnote “girls” is also mentioned in Urdu, before the english translation. Is the footnote including the Urdu text written by MGA, or by others?
