Life of Promised Messiahas

Family Background Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadianas, the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama`at, belonged to a well‐known Persian clan named Burlaas. Mirza Hadi Baig was the ancestor who migrated from his home town Samarkand (Khurasan), in 1530 A.D., to India, along with two hundred of his companions that included his relatives and staff. He was a noble man and a scholar and a saintly figure. India was then under the rule of the Moghul emperor Babar. Mirza Hadi Baig selected an unpopulated area, seventy miles northeast of Lahore, for settling down with his clan. He founded the town which he named Islampur. With the passage of time, the name Islampur went through a series of changes and came to be called Islampur‐Qadi‐Maajhi, then simply Qadi‐Maajhi, and then Qadi, and finally it became known as Qadian.

82



Mirza Gul Muhammad (d. 1800 A.D.) was the great‐grandfather of the Promised Messiahas, and was known for his honesty and God‐fearing. Mirza Àtaa Muhammad (d.1814 A.D.) was the grandfather of the Promised Messiah, and Mirza Ghulam Murtaza was the father, and Chiraagh Bibi was the mother of the Promised Messiah. She was known for her hospitality and taking care of the poor. Birth and Childhood (Feb.13, 1835) The Promised Messiahaswas born on February 13, 1835 A.D. (14 Shawwaal, 1250 A.H.), before sunrise. He was born with a twin sister (who did not survive). His twin birth fulfilled a prophecy recorded in Islamic literature for centuries that Mahdi Mauòod (the Promised Reformer) will be born as a twin (Fosoos al‐Hikam, by Mohiyuddin Ibn Arabi). The Promised Messiahas, as a child, was not fond of romping around aimlessly and did not take part in the mischief of his playmates. His basic education was given to him at home by three different tutors, one after another. First Marriage and Unusual Religious Interest His first marriage, at the age of fifteen years, was arranged with his first maternal cousin Hurmat Bibi (daughter of his maternal uncle Mirza Jamaàt Baig). Two sons, Mirza Sultan Ahmad and Mirza Fazal Ahmad, were born as a result of this marriage. Mirza Fazal Ahmad died in the prime of his youth, but Hadrat Mirza Sultan Ahmad lived long enough to eventually become an Ahmadi at the hands of his younger brother, Hadrat Khalifatul Masih IIra (Muslih Mauòod). His entering the fold of Ahmadiyyat, fulfilled the part of the prophecy regarding MuslihMauòod ‐ ‘He will cause three to become four’ (three Ahmadi sons became four). Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadascherished his privacy and spent most of his time in prayers or immersed in the study of the Holy Qur’an. His father was quite conscious of his son’s great preoccupation with religion. He would normally remark to his friends, regarding his son, saying: “This son of mine is a ‘Maseetar’ (In Punjabi; One who spends most of his time in a mosque, saying prayers). He doesn’t seek any employment nor is he interested in earning for himself ...” If only he had lived a little longer, he would have seen for himself how famous his son (the Promised Messiahashad become and how devoted followers from far and wide were waiting on him. (Tadhkiratul Mahdi, part 2) Vision of the Holy Prophetsa(1864 or 1865) When he was thirty or thirty‐one years old, he saw the Holy Prophet Muhammadsain a vision. The details of this vision shed light on the strong ties of his love for the Holy Prophetsathat distinguished him from everyone else, and foretold of his remarkable spiritual future. A Job in Sialkot (1864-1868) Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadashad to work for the government (1864 to 1868) to respect the wishes of his father, but he had no inclination towards a worldly career, and considered the short period of his employment to be a “prison sentence”.

83



While employed at Sialkot, he still managed to devote all his spare time to the study of the Holy Qur’an and social work. He kept up his religious debates with the Christian missionaries in the area and did much to stem the rising tide of Christianity. He returned to Qadian in 1868, following the wishes of his father, in view of his mother’s illness. She passed away before he could reach Qadian.
