KORAN
[4:70] And whoso obeys Allah and this Messenger of His shall be among those on whom Allah has bestowed His blessings, namely, the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And excellent companions are these.
HADITH
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 110:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “No prophet gets sick but he is given the choice to select either this world or the Hereafter.” ‘Aisha added: During his fatal illness, his voice became very husky and I heard him saying: “In the company of those whom is the Grace of Allah, of the prophets, the Siddiqin (those followers of the prophets who were first and foremost to believe in them), the martyrs and the pious.’ (4.69) And from this I came to know that he has been given the option.
1. MGAQ never used this verse to argue that prophethood in the “real” sense of the word was continous. MGAQ argues that the attributes of prophetood (mubashirat and munzirat) were attainable by any honest muslim. In Tiryaq ul quloob(1902) MGAQ went in-depth in explaining how a muhaddas could attain these 4 levels.
1.a. MGAQ took this verse out of context the first time and used it to support a line of argumentation that was previously non-existent.
2. In the beginning of 1915 Mirza Mahmad published 2 books in which he wrote that this koranic verse supported the advent of new prophets.
2.a. Mirza Mahmud followed in his fathers footsteps and altered this verse even further. Neccesity is the mother of invention. Mahmud ahmad needed it to mean that prophets could appear in the future. Unfortunatley both of these books are only available in urdu. They are Qaul-al-fasl (jan 1915) and Haqiq-tun-nubuwwa (march 1915).
3. In the history of ahmadiyya literature, this koranic verse has never been connected with the relevant hadith. The qadianis have tried to hide this verse from the view of the ahmadis.
They are so dishonest that they havent even tried to connect the two, this outlines the qadiani mind-state. They use the koran as they wish.
WHAT DOES THIS VERSE REALLY MEAN?
Ibn Abbas is the father of tafsir, in his tafsir he wrote:
(Whoso obeyeth Allah and the messenger) this verse was revealed about Thawban, the client of Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) who said: “I am afraid not to meet you in the Hereafter, O Messenger of Allah!” This is because he loved him intensely and could not bear being away from him. Allah’s Messenger saw the change in him and so Allah mentioned the honour bestowed on him, saying: whoever obeys Allah regarding the obligations and obeys the Prophet regarding the prophetic practices (they are) in Paradise (with those unto whom Allah hath shown favour, of the Prophets) Muhammad (pbuh) and the other prophets, (and the saints) the best among the Companions of the Prophet (pbuh) (and the martyrs) those who were martyred in the way of Allah (and the righteous) the righteous among the Community of Muhammad (pbuh). (The best of company are they) in Paradise!
Suyuti wrote:
Whoever obeys God and the Messenger, in what he commands, they are with those whom God has blessed of the prophets and the truthful, that is, the most excellent of the Prophet’s Companions, because of the fullness of their truthfulness and their affirmation of the truth; and the martyrs, those slain in the path of God; and the righteous, [all those] other than the ones mentioned. What fine companions they are!, in Paradise, since in it one will enjoy seeing them, visiting them and being in their presence, even though they will be in the highest stations in relation to others.
CONCLUSIONS
This verse was always meant to signify the hereafter. If you are a good muslim (u follow the orders of Muhammad and allah) during your temporary life here on earth, then in the hereafter you would be given the oppurtunity to sit and relax with muhammad and the other prophets of allah.
May allah help the qadianis see the economic trap that they are in.
