Hazrat Mirza's statements on loyalty to the British rule

[ BACK ] [1.]"Muslims in government employment are constantly endeavouring to prove me a traitor to this benevolent government. I hear that efforts are always being made to report false things about me [to the government], whereas you know well that I am not a man of rebellious nature."

(Tiryaq al-Qulub, p. 15 of the first edition)

 

[2.]"Some of them [the opponents] write false complaints against me to the British government, and they put these forward, dressing themselves up as informers, and concealing their enmity."

(Anjam Atham, p. 68)

 

[3.]"In this book of his, he has given an account of my circumstances, by way of fabrication, and has written that I am a spreader of disorder and an enemy of the government, and that signs of rebellion can be seen in my behaviour, and that he is certain that I shall do such things, and that I am an opponent of the government."

(Nur al-Haq, Part I, p. 24)

(Reference here is to a Christian preacher Rev. Imad-ud-Din.)

 

[4.]"It should be mentioned that Dr. Clarke [a Christian missionary opponent] has said in his [court] statement, at some places implicitly and at others explicitly, that I am a danger to the British government."

(Kitab al-Barriyya, p. 3)

 

[5.]"They are trying to turn the government against me. The government is excusable to some extent if it were to turn against me, because it is not the knower of the unseen. This is why I often had to send memorials specially addressed to the government, and to acquaint it myself with my circumstances, so that it would know the true and correct facts."

(Malfuzat, Part I, p. 209)

 

It is astonishing, therefore, that the opponents first take false complaints against Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to the government, and act as false informers, alleging that he was a rebel against the British government. But when he clears himself of this charge, they try to incite people against him by accusing him of praising the government!
