‫ن‬ ‫ْحالرَّ ْ ی م‬ ‫حم‬ ْ ‫ْس م‬ ْ ٰ ‫ِباہللْالرَّ م‬ The Call of the Messiah by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah and Mahdi The Afghans In short, it is very strange that just as a Messiah i.e. the restorer of religion merely by means of spiritual power, and the propagator of faith and belief merely with the help of the Holy Spirit, came at the close of the Mosaic dispensation, another one, and after the expiry of a similar period of time, came at the close of the order of Khilafat of the like of Moses. It has been proved conclusively that our Master, the holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and the blessings of God be upon him) is the like of Moses. Just as Moses had delivered the Jews from the hands of Pharaoh, and not only delivered them, but the Jews, as an ultimate result of their belief, also got Kingdom and rulership, in the same way,

our Holy Prophet (peace and the blessings of God be upon him) came at such a time when the Jews had been wallowing in dishonour and disgrace. The Holy Prophet opened on them the doors of freedom and deliverance, and raised them to the position of authority and rule, just as he had opened the doors of freedom and deliverance on other believers, and delivered them from the tyranny and oppression of the unbelievers, and lifted them at last to the dignity of Khilafat and Kingship, so that the Jews, after only a few centuries, became the rulers of the world. (continued from Ayyam I Sulah - The Age of Reconciliation)

Muhammad (pbuh) Part II Prof. K. S. Ramakrishna Rao, (Head of the Dept. of Philosophy, Govt. College for Women. University of Mysore, Mandya571401, Karnatika, India). Re-printed from “Islam and Modern age”, Hydrabad, March 1978. (continued from The Light September 2014) The theory of Islam and Sword for instance is not heard now frequently in any quarter worth the name. The principle of Islam that there is no compulsion in religion is well known. Gibbon, a historian of world repute says, “A pernicious tenet has been imputed to Mohammadans, the duty of extirpating all the religions by sword.” This charge based on ignorance and bigotry, says the eminent historian, is refuted by Quran, by history of Musalman conquerors and by their public and legal toleration of Christian worship. The great success of Mohammad’s life had been effected by sheer moral force, without a stroke of sword.
