Nineteenth Argument: Inscription on his grave-stone
[ BACK ] | After
the death of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in May 1908, the
headstone fixed over his grave in Qadian by his followers
bore the inscription given below: Janab Mirza Ghulam Ahmad sahib Qadiani, Chief of Qadian, the Promised Messiah, Mujaddid of the Fourteenth Century, date of death 26 May 1908 If Hazrat Mirza had indeed claimed to be a prophet, his followers would never have inscribed the words Mujaddid (Reformer) of the Fourteenth Century on his gravestone. This inscription stayed as such for about twenty-five years, but was then altered by deleting the words "Mujaddid of the Fourteenth Century". The word `prophet', however, was still not added. |
