Critics of Ahmadi Muslims make two contradictory claims about our beliefs. Some say we reject the Quranic verse “Khataman Nabiyyin” and the hadith “La Nabiyya Ba’adi” (no prophet after me). Others say we’ve invented our own twisted interpretation.

Both claims are completely false.

Here’s what happened: Early heretical groups like the Mutazilites and Jahmites rejected the idea that the Messiah would return in the latter days. Their argument? “The Quran says Muhammad ﷺ is the Seal of Prophets, and the hadith says there’s no prophet after him. So no prophet can ever come again.“

Islamic scholars had to respond to this denial. They clarified that “La Nabiyya Ba’adi” doesn’t mean no prophet will ever come. It means no prophet bringing a new law (Shari’a) will come after Muhammad ﷺ. This interpretation protects the Islamic belief in the Messiah’s return while still affirming that Muhammad ﷺ is the final law-bearing prophet.

This is exactly what Ahmadi Muslims believe today. On the other hand, the anti-Ahmadis are following the ways of the Jahmites and Mutazilites.

In this article, we will post the references of the Muslim scholars claiming that La nabiyya Ba’adi = There is no LAW-BEARING Prophet after me.

Ibn Qutaibah (d. 267H)

وأما قول عائشة ﵂:”قولوا لرسول الله ﷺ خاتم الأنبياء، ولا تقولوا لا نبي بعده”؛ فإنها تذهب إلى نزول عيسى ﵇، وليس هذا من قولها، ناقضا لقول النبي ﷺ:”لا نبي بعدي”لأنه أراد: لا نبي بعدي، ينسخ ما جئت به، كما كانت الأنبياء صلى الله عليهم وسلم تبعث بالنسخ، وأرادت هي:”لا تقولوا إن المسيح لا ينزل بعده”.

“As for the statement of Aisha ﵂: “Say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is the Seal of the Prophets, and do not say there is no prophet after him”; she is referring to the descent of Jesus. The interpretation put forth by her (Hazrat Aishah (ra)), does not contradict the words of the Holy Prophet (sa). The Holy Prophet (sa) meant that there would be no Prophet after him who would abrogate his law.

[Ta’wilu Mukhtalifil-Ahadith, p. 236]

Qadi ‘Iyad (d. 544H)

Imam Nawawi quotes Qadi Iyad where he is refuting the Muslim sects like Jahmites and Mutazalites. These sects used the hadith “There is no prophet after me” and the Quran 33:40 “he is the seal of the prophets” to reject the Nuzul of the Messiah in the latter days.

Qadi Iyad claims that the hadith does not mean that no prophet will ever come after the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Rather, it means that no prophet with a NEW law will not come. His Ta’wil (interpretation) of this hadith is exactly like how Ahmadi Muslims do.

قَوْلُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (فيبعث الله عيسى بن مريم) أى ينزله من السماء حاكما بشر عنا وَقَدْ سَبَقَ بَيَانُ هَذَا فِي كِتَابِ الْإِيمَانِ قَالَ الْقَاضِي رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى نُزُولُ عِيسَى عَلَيْه السَّلَامُ وَقَتْلُهُ الدَّجَّالَ حَقٌّ وَصَحِيحٌ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ السُّنَّةِ لِلْأَحَادِيثِ الصَّحِيحَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ وَلَيْسَ فى العقل ولافى الشَّرْعِ مَا يُبْطِلُهُ فَوَجَبَ إِثْبَاتُهُ وَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ بعض المعتزلة والجهيمة وَمَنْ وَافَقَهُمْ وَزَعَمُوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثَ مَرْدُودَةٌ بقوله تعالى وخاتم النبيين وَبِقَوْلِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا نَبِيَّ بعدى وباجماع المسلمين أنه لانبى بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَّ شريعته مؤبدة إلى يوم القيامة لاتنسخ وَهَذَا اسْتِدْلَالُ فَاسِدٌ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ الْمُرَادُ بِنُزُولِ عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَنَّهُ يَنْزِلُ نَبِيًّا بِشَرْعٍ ينسخ شرعنا ولا فى هذه الأحاديث ولافى غَيْرِهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ هَذَا بَلْ صَحَّتْ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثُ هُنَا وَمَا سَبَقَ فِي كِتَابِ الْإِيمَانِ وَغَيْرِهَا أَنَّهُ يَنْزِلُ حَكَمًا مُقْسِطًا بِحُكْمِ شَرْعِنَا وَيُحْيِي مِنْ أُمُورِ شَرْعِنَا مَا هَجَرَهُ النَّاسُ

Al-Qāḍī, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated: The descent of ʿĪsā, peace be upon him, and his slaying of the Dajjāl (Antichrist) is a true and established belief according to Ahl al-Sunnah, due to the authentic hadiths regarding this matter. There is nothing in reason nor in the Sacred Law that invalidates it, therefore it must be affirmed.

However, some of the Muʿtazilah, the Jahmiyyah, and those who followed them denied this. They claimed that these hadiths are rejected based on Allah’s statement “the Seal of the Prophets,” and based on his saying, peace and blessings be upon him, “There is no prophet after me,” and based on the consensus of the Muslims that there is no prophet after our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and that his Sacred Law is perpetual until the Day of Resurrection and will not be abrogated.

This is faulty reasoning, because the intended meaning of the descent of ʿĪsā, peace be upon him, is not that he will descend as a prophet with a Law that abrogates our Law. Nothing of this sort exists in these hadiths or in any others. Rather, these hadiths here, and what preceded in the Book of Faith and elsewhere, have authentically established that he will descend as a just judge ruling by our Sacred Law, and he will revive aspects of our Sacred Law that people have abandoned.

[Sharh Nawawi Sahih Muslim]

Ibn ʿArabī (d. 637H)

Ibn Arabi also explains there will be no prophet after Muhammad (SAW) that will abrogate his Shariah as it is a complete and final law.

فإن النبوة التي انقطعت بوجود رسول الله إنما هي نبوة التشريع لا مقامها، فلا شرع يكون ناسخاً لشرعه ، ولا يزيد في حكمه شرعاً آخر، وهذا معنى قوله : (إِنَّ الرسالة والنبوة قد انْقَطَعَتْ فَلا رَسُولَ بَعْدِي ولا نبي أي لا نبي بعدي يكون على شرع يخالف شرعي، بل إذا كان يكون تحت حكم شريعتي، ولا رسول أي لا رسول بعدي إلى أحد من خلق الله يشرع يدعوهم إليه، فهذا هو الذي انقطع وسدّ بابه لا مقام النبوة

That the Prophethood that ended by the Holy Prophet (SAW) is only a law bearing prophethood … Therefore, no law can come to abrogate the Shariah of Prophet (SAW), nor add any command to it, and this is the meaning of the saying of Prophet (SAW) that prophethood and messengership has been terminated. “لا رَسُولَ بَعْدِي ولا نبي” i.e no prophet can come after me who is on another Shariah other than mine. But yes, a prophet can come in such a case that he comes under the command of my Shariah…

[Al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya, vol. 3, pg. 6]

فما ارتفعت النبوة بالكلية، ولهذا قلنا: إنما ارتفعت نبوة التشريع، فهذا معنى لا نبي بعده، وكذلك من حفظ القرآن فقد أدرجت النبوة بين جنبيه فقد قامت به النبوة بلا شك فعلمنا أن قوله : لا نبي بعده أي لا مشرع . يكون بعده نبي، فهذا مثل قوله : إذا هلك كسرى فلا كسرى بعده، وإذا هلك قيصر فلا قيصر بعده

That prophethood has not been taken away completely. That is why I said that only law bearing prophethood has ended and this is the meaning of لا نبي بعده. Thus, I have understood that the purpose of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) saying لا نبي بعده and it is in the same meaning that no one will one will be after me who brings a new Shariah because there is no prophet after Muhammad (SAW). It is exactly same as the Prophet (SAW) saying that after this Khosrau dies, there will be no Khosrau after him and after the Caesar dies, there will be no Caesar after him.

[Al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya, vol. 3, pg. 88]

فَالنُّبُوَّةُ سَارِيَةٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي الْخَلْقِ وَإِنْ كَانَ التَّشْرِيعُ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ فَالتَّشْرِيعُ جُزْءٌ مِنْ أَجْزَاءِ النُّبُوَّةِ

Prophethood will continue until the Day of Judgement, although, the bringing of a new Shariah (law) has ended. Thus, the bringing of Sharia (law) is one part among the many parts of prophethood.

[Al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya, vol. 3, pg. 135]

Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H)

Ibn Taymiyyah also explains that the meaning of Khatam al-Rusul is that there will be no prophet after Muhammad (SAW) that will abrogate his Shariah as it is a complete and final law.

كما نصر الله محمدًا على أعدائه، وقال: في كل الدهور سلطانه كامل ليس له فناء، وهذا صفة خاتم الرسل الذى لا يأتي بعده نبى ينسخ شرعه وسلطانه بالحجة واليد كامل لا يحتاج فيه إلى الاستعانة بشرع آخر، وشرعه ثابت باق إلى آخر الدهر

Just as Allah granted victory to Muhammad over his enemies, and said: ‘In all ages his authority is perfected, having no end.’ This is the attribute of the Seal of the Messengers, after whom no prophet comes to abrogate his law. His authority, through proof and power, is perfected, needing no assistance from another law. His law is firm and enduring until the end of time.

[Al-Jawāb al-Ṣaḥīḥ li-man baddala dīn al-Masīh, pg 500]

Abd al-Karim al-Jili bin Ibrahim Jillani (d. 831H)

Jili was a descendant of the Sufi saint Abdul Qadir Gilani, the founder of the Qadiriyya dervish order.

فَانْقَطَعَ حُكْمُ النُّبُوَّةِ التَّشْرِيْعِ بَعْدَهُ وَكَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمَ النبيين

The command of Law bearing Prophethood ended with the Prophet (SAW). Thus, this is why Prophet (SAW) is called Khataman Nabiyyin.

[Al-Insan-ul-Kamil, pg. 120]

Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (d. 910)

قلنا: هذا الحديث بهذا اللفظ باطل

قال الزاعم: الدليل حديث لا نبي بعدي

قلنا: يا مسكين لا دلالة على هذا الحديث بوجه من الوجوه لأن المراد : لا يحدث بعدي نبي بشرع ينسخ شرعي. كما فسره بذلك ثم يقال لهذا الزاعم : هل أنت آخذ بظاهر الحديث فإن هذا يلزمك أحد أمرين: اما نفي نزول عيسى عليه السلام ، أو نفي النبوة عنه ، وكلاهما كفر

What is meant is that “No prophet will come after me” with a Shariah that abrogates the Shariah [of Islam]…

Then this claimant will be asked: do you take this hadith literally and disagree with our interpretation? Then, you must choose one of two options-either deny Jesus’s descent or deny his prophethood when he descends. Both options are deemed to be kufr!

[Nuzūl ʿĪsā ibn Maryam ākhir al-zamān, pg 53]

Mujaddad Alf Thani (d. 971H)

“Following the advent of Hazrat Muhammad, the Chosen One, the Seal of the Prophets(sa), the attainment of the attributes of prophethood by his followers as subordinate or by way of inheritance, will in no way conflict with his status as the Seal of the Prophets. So do not be amongst the doubters.”

[Maktubat Imam Rabbani, Book 1, Maktub no. 301, vol. 2, p. 775]

Hazrat Imam ‘Abdul-Wahhab Sha’rani (d. 976H)

“نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي وَلَا رَسُولَ الْمُرَادُ بِهِ لَا مُشَرَعَ بَعْدِي”

“The Holy Prophet’s (sa) statements that there will be no Prophet or no Messenger after him only meant that there will be no law-bearing Prophet after him.”

[al-Yawaqit wal-Jawahir, vol. 2, p. 35]

Mulla ‘Ali Al-Qari (d. 1013H)

ومع هذا لو عاش إبراهيم وصار نبيا، وكذا لو صار عمر نبيا لكانا من أتباعه عليه الصلاة والسلام كعيسى والخضر وإلياس عليهم السلام. فلا يناقض قولَه تعالى: (وخاتم النبيين) إذ المعنى أنه لا يأتي نبي بعده ينسخ ملته ولم يكن من أمته

Had Ibrahim lived and become a prophet, and likewise had Umar become a prophet they would be follower prophets of the Holy Prophet , peace and blesings of Allah be upon him, like Isa, Khidar and Ilyas upon whom all be peace. It does not contradict the divine word ‘Khataman Nabiyyeen’ which means that there shall not be a prophet abrogating his law nor one who was not of his Ummah.

[Al-Asrar Al-Marfu’a Fil-Akhbar Al-Mawdu’a, pg. 183]

Shah Waliyyullah Muhaddith Dehlavi (d. 1175H)

He is also a Mujaddid (reformer) of the 12th century and respected by almost everyone (Barelwis, Deobandis, Ahl-e-Hadith, Najdis, and Ahmadis)

فعلِمنا بقوله عليه الصلاة والسلام: لا نبي بعدي ولا رسول، وأن النبوة قد انقطعت والرسالة، إنما يريد بها التشريع

“From the words La Nabiyya ba’di used by the Holy Prophet (sa), we learn with certainty that there would be no Prophet after him who would bring a new Law or Shari’ah.”

[Qurratul-‘Ainain fi Tafdilish-Shaikhain, p. 319]

وخُتم به النبييون.. أي لا يوجد من يأمره الله سبحانه بالتشريع على الناس

“The closing of prophethood with the Holy Prophet^saw means that there can be no divinely inspired reformer after him who would be commissioned with a new law by Allah”

[Tafheemat-e-Ilahiyya, vol. 2, pg. 85]

Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Rasul al-Barzanji (d. 1103H)

In his Sharh of Mishkat al-Masabih, he writes

ورد “لا نبي بعدي” ومعناه عند العلماء أنه لا يحدث بعده نبي بشرع ينسخ شرعه

According to the Ulema, the meaning of the hadith لا نبي بعدي (There is no prophet after me) is that there will no prophet will be given a Shariah that abrogates the Shariah of Muhammad (SAW).

[Isha’ah li-Ashrat al-Sa’ah, pg. 139]

Qasim Nanotwi (d. 1297H)

Founder of the Deoband Movement.

سو عوام کے خیال میں تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا خاتم ہونا بایں معنی ہے کہ آپ کا زمانہ انبیاء سابق کے زمانے کے بعد اور آپ سب میں آخری نبی ہیں مگر اہل فہم پر روشن ہوگا کہ تقدم و تاخر زمانی میں بالذات کچھ فضیلت نہیں۔ پھر مقام مدح میں وَلكِن رَّسُولَ اللهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ فرمانا اس صورت میں کیوں کر صحیح ہو سکتا ہے۔

According to the layman, the Prophet (SAW), being the KHATAM (seal) means that he must have appeared after all the previous prophets and that he is the last prophet. But men of understanding and the wise know it very well that being the first or the last, chronologically, does not carry any weight. How could, therefore, the words of the Holy Qura’n: ”But he is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the Prophets” (33:41) glorify him? But I know very well that none from among the Muslims would be prepared to agree with the common men.

[Tahzir un Nas, 14]

اگر بالفرض بعد زمانہ نبوی ﷺ بھی کوئی نبی پیدا ہو تو پھر بھی خاتمیت محمدیؐ میں کچھ فرق نہ آئے گا

Rather, if, hypothetically, after the time of the Prophet (SAW) another Prophet is born, even then it will make no difference to the Khaatamiyyat-e-Muhammadi (Seal of Prophethood of Muhammad) – similarly if another Prophet is his contemporary in another Earth, or even on this Earth another Prophet is made.

[Tahzir un Nas, 63]

Allama Abdul Hayee al-Lucknawi (d.1304)

Maulvi Abdul Hayee Lucknowi Firangi Mahali¹ was a giant among the Ulema of the Ahnaaf residing in India. He was a supporter of Qasim Nanotvi, He Supported Tehzeer un Naas and wrote a book on the same topic. The Deobandi and Nadwi schools of thought particularly respect him.

Maulvi Abdul Hayy, like Qasim Nanautawi (Founder of Deoband) staunchly defended this saying attributed to Sayyidina Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) even though Muhaditheen (scholars of Hadith) consider it as Shaadh (an oddity in the terminology of Hadith science).

The Deobandis in particular passionately defend this Athar and believe in its contents whole-heartedly, while other sects reject it.

One of the objections made against this Athar by those who deny it is that it contradicts the Holy Qur’an’s pronouncement that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the Khaatam an-Nabiyyeen (Seal of the Prophets) so there can not be any prophet after him.

بعد آنحضرت کے یا زمانے میں آنحضرت کے مجرد کسی نبی کا ہونا محال نہیں بلکہ صاحب شرع جدید ہونا البتہ منع ہے۔

After the demise of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, or even during his own lifetime, it is not an impossibility for someone to be exalted to the position of a simple prophet. But a prophet with a new Law is, indeed, forbidden.

[Dafi Ul Waswas Fi Asr E Ibn E Abbas, pg. 12]

علمائے اہل سنت بھی اس امر کی تصدیق کرتے ہیں کہ آنحضرت صلعم کے عصر میں کوئی نبی صاحب شرع جدیدہ نہیں ہو سکتا اور نبوت آپ کی تمام مکلفین کو شامل ہے اور جو نبی آپ کے ہمعصر ہو گا۔ پس ہر تقدیر بعثت محمد یہ عام ہے۔

The scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah also confirm that no Prophet after Prophet Muhammad (SAW) could bring a new Shariah…

[Dafi Ul Waswas Fi Asr E Ibn E Abbas, pg. 3]

Ulemā Ahle Sunnat also subscribe to the view that following the advent of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be on him) no law-bearing prophet can come. The prophethood of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be on him) is wide in scope. Any prophet who would now come would be from the ummah and follow his sharī‘ah”

[Maulvi Abdul Haye, Majmū‘ah Fatā’wā, Volume 1, Page 17]

Maulana Abdul Hayee Lakhanwee was also asked if a prophet could come from among Indian Subcontinent (mard-e-Hindi) or Afghans who support Muhammad (SAW) and refutes the Christian doctrines and books.

He replied: Yes, It is allowed!

[Majmua al Fatawa Abdul Hayee Lucknowi page 112]

Nawab Ṣiddīq Ḥasan Khān (d. 1307H)

One of the most famous Salafi scholar.

مردودة بقوله تعالى ( وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّنَ )، وبقوله : (لا نبي بعدي) وبإجماع المسلمين أنه لا نبي بعد نبينا وأن شريعته مؤبدة إلى يوم القيامة لا تنسخ وهذا استدلال فاسد لأنه ليس المراد بنزول عيسى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أنه ينزل نبيا بشرع ينسخ شرعنا،

“[The objection] is refuted by the statement of Allah (the Exalted): ﴾وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّنَ﴿ (and the Seal of the Prophets), and by his (the Prophet’s) statement: «لا نبي بعدي» (There is no prophet after me), and by the consensus of the Muslims that there is no prophet after our Prophet and that his shariah is permanent until the Day of Judgment and will not be abrogated. This [contrary] argument is invalid, because the meaning of the descent of Jesus (peace be upon him) is not that he will descend as a prophet with a law that abrogates our law.”

[Al-Siraj Al-Wahhaj Fi Kashf Matalib Muslim Bin Al-Hajjaj Sharh Mukhtasar Sahih Muslim Li Al- Hafiz Al-Mundhiri, vol.2, pg. 296]

Nūrul Ḥasan Khān (d. 1335H)

The famous and well-known religious leader of the Ahl-e-Hadith(Salafi), Nawab Siddiq Hassan Khan’s son, Nūrul Hassan Khan Ṣāḥib, who was also a prominent Islāmic scholar of his time states in his book, Iqtirab al-Sa’ah:

“The Hadees “La Wahi b’ada Mautee” has no foundation, although “La Nabiyya Ba’adee” is quite correct, which, according to the people of knowledge, means there shall be no prophet after me who shall bring an abrogating divine system of law.”

[Iqtarabus Sa’at, p.162]

The position of the real Ahlus Sunnati wal Jama’ah concerning Khatam an-Nubuwwah, since time immemorial has been that after Prophet Muhammad (SAW) the advent of law-bearing Prophets is forever terminated and now impossible, but the advent of Prophets who are in obedience and compliance with his Shari’ah has never been ruled out.

Salafi/Najdi scholars (Modern day)

These include notable scholars like Shaykh Abdul-Aziz bin ‘Abdullah bin Baz, Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih Al- Uthaimin, and Shaykh Abdullah bin Abdur-Rahman Al-Jibreen.

There is no contradiction between his descent and the fact that our Prophet. Muhammad is the Last of the Prophets, since ‘Isa will not bring a new Law and the Judgement belongs to Allah, from first to last; He does as He wills and He judges as He wishes, and there is no appeal against His Judgement, for He is the All-Powerful, Most Wise.

[Fatawa Islamiyah, vol 1, pg 307]

Mahmud Khattab al-Subki (d. 1352)

مردودة بقوله تعالى ( وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّنَ )، وبقوله : (لا نبي بعدي) وبإجماع المسلمين أنه لا نبي بعد نبينا وأن شريعته مؤبدة إلى يوم القيامة لا تنسخ وهذا استدلال فاسد لأنه ليس المراد بنزول عيسى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أنه ينزل نبيا بشرع ينسخ شرعنا،

[This is] refuted by Allah the Exalted’s saying: ‘and Seal of the Prophets,’ and by his [the Prophet’s] saying: ‘There is no prophet after me,’ and by the consensus of Muslims that there is no prophet after our Prophet, and that his law is perpetual until the Day of Resurrection and will not be abrogated. This [objection] is a corrupt argument because what is not intended by the descent of Jesus, peace be upon him, is that he descends as a prophet with a law that abrogates our law.

[Ad Deen Al Khalis, vol. 1, pg. 95]

Muhammed Maftuhin Tamini

قال الأشقر في القيامة الصغرى: “يقول النووي في رده على المكذبين بنزول عيســى الزاعمين أن نزوله لو كان حقاً فإنّه يكون مناقضاً لقوله عليه السلام: لا نبي بعدي، وأنه يكون بذلك ناسخاً لشرع الرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم. هذا الاستدلال فاسد، لأنه ليس المراد بنزول عيسى عليه السلام أنّه ينزل نبياً بشرع ينسخ

Al-Ashqar said in ‘The Minor Resurrection’: ‘Al-Nawawi says in his refutation of those who deny the descent of Jesus, claiming that if his descent were true, it would contradict his [the Prophet’s] saying, peace be upon him: ‘There is no prophet after me,’ and that he would thereby be abrogating the law of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. This reasoning is corrupt, because what is not intended by the descent of Jesus, peace be upon him, is that he descends as a prophet with a law that abrogates

[Ra’i al Jama’a fi Bayan Aqida al-Suwad al-A’dham min al-Ummah, vol.1 pg. 99]

References

Deobandis, just like other ‘Sunnis’ fabricate lies against Ahmadi Muslims by claiming that we deny that Muhammad (SAW) is Khatam an-Nabiyyin or that we don’t consider the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to be the last prophet. Their only reason for lying about us is to hide the fact that their scholars have said exactly what they are alleging against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS).

Prophethood has ended

Qari Muhammad Tayyab is the grandson of Qasim Nanotwi. Qasim Nanotwi is the founder of the Deobandi sect. Qasim Nanotwi has made numerous statements where he claims that Khatam an-Nabiyyin DOES NOT mean the ‘the last Prophet’, rather, it is the understanding of the common people. In this article, we will show his grandson confirming the same belief. Note, that Qari Muhammad Tayyab is called ‘Hakeem al-Islam’ by the Deobandis which means ‘The Wise scholar of Islam’.

The Manifestations of the Light of Prophethood

When the Muhaddithīn come, the light of my Prophethood will manifest through them. When the Fuqahā come—Abu Hanifah, Malik, al-Shāfiʿī (rahimahumullah)—my light will shine through all of them; they will have no light of their own. When the noble Sufis appear—Junayd, Shiblī, Bayazid Bastami, etc.—their beings will carry no light except the light of my Prophethood.

From some, the light of my knowledge will appear; from others, the light of my character; from others still, the light of my zuhd and contentment. All of them will manifest my light, and my one Prophethood will be sufficient until the Day of Judgment. New mirrors will keep appearing, and that same light will keep radiating; the world will continue to be illuminated.
There is no need for a new prophethood, because all degrees of Prophethood have been perfected and completed in me. To interpret Khatam-un-Nabiyyīn as “the door of Prophethood is shut” is to mislead people. Its true meaning is the perfection and completion of Prophethood, not the severance of Prophethood or the spread of darkness.

Do not fall into the deception that Khatm-e-Nubuwwat means qataʿ-e-nubuwwat. It means kamāl-e-nubuwwat and takmīl-e-nubuwwat. O Prophet ﷺ, you are the Khatam—meaning that the ranks and stages of Prophethood end with you. After you, every reformer, muhaddith, imam, saint, martyr, and mujahid will carry only one light: your light. They are vessels, and from each vessel the perfection of your Prophethood will shine.

It is as if Allah created such a Being that from his blessings the earlier ones became Prophets, and the later ones became Saints. Sainthood and Prophethood both emanate from the same source. The Prophets of the past benefited from your Prophethood, and those who come after continue to become saints, reformers, and muhaddathīn through the perfections granted to you.

[Khutbat-e-Hakeem al-Islam, vol. 1, pg. 124]

This is just part of the sermon of Qari Muhammad Tayyab. Everyone can read the complete sermon and other statements where he expands on the same exact topic. Here is one video for the benefit of the Urdu speakers. It has English subtitles for non-Urdu speakers.

Conclusion

This leads to many questions.

1. Why are Deobandis takfiring Ahmadi Muslims when their leading scholars are publicly claiming that Khatme Nabuwat DOES NOT mean ‘termination of prophethood’?
2. Why are they not takfiring their ulema or why are their modern day ulema not takfiring their own founders? Why the hypocrisy?
3. Why are the rest of the ‘Sunnis’ silent on this issue when they are the loudest voices against Ahmadi Muslims?
4. Where are the ‘Khatme Nabuwat’ gangs who lynch non-Muslims and Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan? How are they protecting ‘Khatme Nabuwat’ when they are literally teaming up with those who are claiming Muhammad (SAW) is NOT the last prophet?

No one from amongst the ‘Sunnis’ will ever be able to answer these questions!

Anti-Ahmadis allege that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) died a sudden & unexpected death. However, Ahmad (AS) received several clear divine revelations foretelling his demise. This is just how Muhammad ﷺ was granted revelations foretelling his passing.

Revelations in 1905 indicating death is near

Ahmad (AS) started receiving revelations that his death was near. He did not die all of a sudden, nor was his death unexpected. The occurance of these revelations peaked in the last few days of the Promised Messiah As’s death. Based on these revelation it is clear that the Promised Messiah AS had reached the age that Allah had desired of him and Allah was calling him to himself. This means that the Anti-Ahmadi allegation is left baseless.

In 1905, the Promised Messiah (AS) testified that he received multiple revelations saying that only a small portion of his life spanned remained. These revelations were a message to prepare him and the Jama’at for the future. He writes the following in his book, The Will:

“Since God Almighty has informed me, through recurrent revelations, that the time of my demise is near, and since these revelations have been of such force as to shake me to the very core of my being— turning my heart cold to this life—I have deemed it appropriate to write a few words of admonition…”

_{[The Will p. 1]}

He goes onto cite one profound Arabic he received:

“The appointed time of your death has come close and We shall leave no trace of anything the allusion to which might reflect adversely upon your honor…We have the Power to show you a part of the fulfilment of Our prophecies about the opponents or cause you to die. You will die while I am pleased with you.”

_{[The Will p. 2]}

In the same year, the Promised Messiah (AS) had a dream and revelation that only 2-3 mouthfuls of the water of life were left in a vessel given to him (mouthfuls are euphemism for years):

“I saw in my dream that someone had given me some water in a new earthen vessel. Only two or three mouthfuls of water remained in it but the water was very clear and pure. This was accompanied by the revelation: Water of Life”

_{[Tadhkirah (2019) p.786]
[Review of Religions, vol. 4, December 1905, p. 480]}

Numerous revelations days before his death in 1908

On May 9 1908 Promised Messiah (AS) received the following revelation:

Confirmation by the Promised Messiah (AS)

On the night of his passing, Ahmad (AS) confirmed the revelations about his death when his dear wife, Amma Jan (RA), asked in concern:

“…I got worried and said ‘O Allah what is happening?,’

Promised Messiah (AS) replied, this is what I used to say (referring to his earlier revelations about his death)”

_{[Seeratul Mahdi, vol.1, pg. 10-11]}

Revelations Fulfilled

Ahmad (AS) passed away peacefully on his bed, as foretold in divine revelations, at 10:30 AM on May 26, 1908, surrounded by family and engaged in the remembrance of Allah.

Several eyewitnesses, including his close family members, friends, and doctors, confirmed his blessed death which can be read here: https://whiteminaret.org/allegations-on-messiah/death-on-toilet/#Explanation

Similarity with Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

• Prophet ﷺ did the Farewell Sermon.
• Ahmad (AS) wrote his last major book “The Will”.
• Prophet ﷺ prophesied his death on the deathbed to his daughter, Hazrat Fatima (RA)
• Ahmad (AS) prophesied his death to his beloved wife, Hazrat Syeda Nusrat Jahan Begum (RA) – commonly referred to as Amma Jan (RA).

Narrated `Aisha:

“Mother of the Believers: We, the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) were all sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) and none of us had left when Fatima came walking, and by Allah, her gait was very similar to that of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) .’ When he saw her, he welcomed her, saying, “Welcome, O my daughter!” Then he made her sit on his right or his left, confided something to her, whereupon she wept bitterly. When he noticed her sorrow, he confided something else to her for the second time, and she started laughing. Only I from among the Prophet’s wives said to her, “(O Fatima), Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) selected you from among us for the secret talk and still you weep?” When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) got up (and went away), I asked her, “What did he confide to you?” She said, “I wouldn’t disclose the secrets of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)” But when he died I asked her, “I beseech you earnestly by what right I have on you, to tell me (that secret talk which the Prophet had with you)” She said, “As you ask me now, yes, (I will tell you).” She informed me, saying, “When he talked to me secretly the first time, he said that Gabriel used to review the Qur’an with him once every year. He added, ‘But this year he reviewed it with me twice, and therefore I think that my time of death has approached. So, be afraid of Allah, and be patient, for I am the best predecessor for you (in the Hereafter).’ ” Fatima added, “So I wept as you (`Aisha) witnessed. And when the Prophet (ﷺ) saw me in this sorrowful state, he confided the second secret to me saying, ‘O Fatima! Will you not be pleased that you will be chief of all the believing women (or chief of the women of this nation i.e. my followers?”)“

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Promised Messiah (AS) peacefully passed away on his deathbed, at 10:30 am, surrounded by his family, while deeply engrossed in the remembrance of Allah. One of his final expressions was a heartfelt invocation, “O my beloved Allah.”

It is important to highlight that the accusation made by Anti-Ahmadis regarding his demise is a baseless falsehood devoid of any credible source.

Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the manner in which the Promised Messiah (AS) departed from this world bears a striking resemblance to the last moments of our beloved Prophet (SAW). Therefore, this unfounded allegation not only amounts to a clear act of fabrication but also represents a blasphemous and disrespectful insinuation against the noble Prophet (SAW) himself. May Allah guide those who engage in this blasphemy.

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) prophesied that in the latter days, Muslims would split off into 73 sects. Out of all these, one sect will be heaven-bound while the rest (72) will be Hell-bound. This Heaven-bound sect will be a Jama’ah which has one leader (Imam). Today that sect is the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’ah.

Hadith #1

You would tread the same path as was trodden by those before you inch by inch and step by step so much so that if they had entered into the hole of the lizard, you would follow them in this also. We said: Allah’s Messenger, do you mean Jews and Christians (by your words)” those before you”? He said: Who else (than those two religious groups)?

[Sahih Muslim 2669a]

Hadith #2

Narrated Abu Hurayrah:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The Jews were split up into seventy-one or seventy-two sects; and the Christians were split up into seventy one or seventy-two sects; and my community will be split up into seventy-three sects.

[Sunan Abi Dawud 4596]

Hadith #3

Abu `Amir al-Hawdhani said:

Mu`awiyah b. Abi Sufiyan stood among us and said: Beware! The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) stood among us and said: Beware! The people of the Book before were split up into seventy two sects, and this community will be split into seventy three: seventy two of them will go to Hell and one of them will go to Paradise, and it is the united community.

[Sunan Abi Dawud 4597]

Hadith #4

Narrated Abu Hurairah:

that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The Jews split into seventy-one sects, or seventy-two sects, and the Christians similarly, and my Ummah will split into seventy-three sects.”

[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2640]

Hadith #5

It was narrated from ‘Awf bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:

“The Jews split into seventy-one sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy in Hell. The Christians split into seventy-two sects, seventy-one of which will be in Hell and one in Paradise. I swear by the One Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, my nation will split into seventy-three sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy-two in Hell.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, who are they?” He said: “The united community.”

[Sunan Ibn Majah 3992]

Hadith #6

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

‘The Children of Israel split into seventy-one sects, and my nation will split into seventy-two, all of which will be in Hell apart from one, which is the united community.”

[Sunan Ibn Majah 3993]

Hadith #7

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr:

that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “What befell the children of Isra’il will befall my Ummah, step by step, such that if there was one who had intercourse with his mother in the open, then there would be someone from my Ummah who would do that. Indeed the children of Isra’il split into seventy-two sects, and my Ummah will split into seventy-three sects. All of them are in the Fire Except one sect.” He said: “And which is it O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “What I am upon and my Companions.”

[Jami` Tirmidhi 2641]
[Sahih by Shuaib Al Arna’ut]
[Hasan by Albani]

When Will 73 Sects Form?

As per ahadith, this great division will happen at the time of the Messiah & Dajjal:

“The one-eyed Dajjal, the misguided messiah, will emerge from the direction of the east in a time of division and conflict among the people.”

_{[Musnad Sahih]}

Stick To Jama’ah & Leave The Sects

The Prophet ﷺ stated that during the time of Ad-Dajjal, Muslims ought to pledge allegiance and faithfully stick to the one Jama’ah and leave all other hell-bound sects:

Narrated Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman:

The people used to ask Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about the good but I used to ask him about the evil lest I should be overtaken by them. So I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! We were living in ignorance and in an (extremely) worst atmosphere, then Allah brought to us this good (i.e., Islam); will there be any evil after this good?” He said, “Yes.” I said, ‘Will there be any good after that evil?” He replied, “Yes, but it will be tainted (not pure.)” I asked, “What will be its taint?” He replied, “(There will be) some people who will guide others not according to my tradition? You will approve of some of their deeds and disapprove of some others.” I asked, “Will there be any evil after that good?” He replied, “Yes, (there will be) some people calling at the gates of the (Hell) Fire, and whoever will respond to their call, will be thrown by them into the (Hell) Fire.” I said, “O Allah s Apostle! Will you describe them to us?” He said, “They will be from our own people and will speak our language.” I said, “What do you order me to do if such a state should take place in my life?” He said, “Stick to the group of Muslims and their Imam (ruler).” I said, “If there is neither a group of Muslims nor an Imam (ruler)?” He said, “Then turn away from all those sects even if you were to bite (eat) the roots of a tree till death overtakes you while you are in that state.”

_{[Sahih al-Bukhari 7084]} 

Definition of Jama’ah According to Scholars

This can be read in detail here: https://whiteminaret.org/khilafat/after-messiah/#Definition_of_Jamaah_According_to_Scholars

ONLY JAMA’AH IS JAMA’AH AL-AHMADIYYA

By definition of the word, the only “Jama’ah” on earth is the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community i.e. the only group with an Imam/ Khalifa. 

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’ah that fits this definition of Jama’ah, as it is the only Jama’ah today united under one single Imam. Thus, Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’ah is in essence the true Ahlus Sunnah Wa’l Jama’ah.

Hazrat Khalīfatul Masīh I, Maulānā Ḥakīm Maulwi Nūrudīn (RA ) states:

“In this age, there is no Ahlus-Sunnah wa’l-Jama’ah on the face of the earth except [for] the Aḥmadīyyah. The Jama’ah will only be the one with an Imām. If we were to line up our opponent Muslims in one row, would they be able to have one Imām? Absolutely Not! [However], yes, it is the unique characteristic of the Aḥmadīyyah Jama’ah that it has an Imām. Thus, at this time, except for Ahmadis no one [else] is from Ahlus-Sunnah wa’l-Jama’ah.“

_{[Al Hakam, Feb 21, 1910, pg. 3]}

Conclusion

• Ahadith of Prophet (SAW) make it clear that the Muslim Ummah will be divided into 73 sects.
• The division will happen during the time of Ad-Dajjal.
• The heaven-bound sect will be united under a single leader/Imam.
• The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’ah represents the heaven-bound sect of the latter days that Muhammad (SAW) prophesied.

Every year on 12th Rabi’ al-Awwal, millions of Muslims around the world, particularly in Yemen, Egypt, and the Indian subcontinent, celebrate Mawlid or Eid Milad al-Nabi – which is the commemoration of the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. These gatherings usually involve speeches, poetry recitations, processions, and festive celebrations – most of which are outward and ostentatious in nature.

However, as Ahmadi Muslims, it is important to remember the clear guidance given by the Messiah and Imam of the Age, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS).

Mawlid Al-Nabi: An Innovation Not Established by the Prophet ﷺ

The Holy Prophet ﷺ himself never celebrated his own birthday, nor did the Sahaba (RA), and nor the early generations of Muslims. Love for the Prophet ﷺ was not expressed outwardly through annual festivities, but rather by obedience, following his Sunnah, and upholding his mission.

This is exactly what Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS), the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, made clear – that true love for our beloved master, the Holy Prophet ﷺ, is demonstrated through practice of his teachings, not through innovations (bid‘ah).

Stance of the Promised Messiah (AS) on Mawlid

The Promised Messiah (AS) was asked whether Mawlid Majalis (gatherings commemorating the birthday of the Holy Prophet ﷺ) could be convened. He (AS) gave a detailed reply with clear guidance for Ahmadis. Below is a portion; the full answer can be read in the attached Urdu and English scans.

“If a meeting is held for the upholding of Islam and remembrance of the Prophet ﷺ, it comes under the kind of meetings which are permitted. The audience must be offering Durud. No innovations must take place there. The speeches must contain only the events of the life of the Holy Prophet ﷺ and the people should be praising God and praying for the Prophet.”

_{[Al Hakam, April 30th, 1904, pg 3] [English Scan]}

Furthermore, Ahmad (AS) constantly explained that Muslims should remember the Holy Prophet ﷺ every single day, not just once a year. He taught that reducing the Prophet’s ﷺ remembrance to a single day of festivities diminishes his true greatness.

He (AS) repeatedly stressed that the Prophet ﷺ must be remembered in every prayer, and that a true Muslim should send abundant Durood upon him daily – as that is a direct command of Allah in Holy Qur’an 33:57. According to Ahmad (AS), honouring our beloved master ﷺ truly was not through rituals, but in living his example in our daily lives – reflected in our actions, speech, and morals – while remaining firmly attached to the Qur’an and Sunnah as the real expression of love.

Stance of Khalifatul Masih I (RA) on Mawlid

Hazrat Hakeem Maulvi Noor-ud-Din (RA), Khalifatul Masih I, made it abundantly clear that Muslims have only two Eids. Therefore, calling or celebrating Mawlid as “Eid Milad” is a bid‘ah, and that true love for the Prophet ﷺ should be expressed as Masih Maud (AS) taught and expressed himself – by following the Qur’an and Sunnah, not through innovations:

“Eid Milad is a bid’ah. There are only two Eids. In this way, people will keep creating new Eids and Ahmadis will say that there should be an Eid on the day of Mirza Sahib’s first revelation and Eid on the day of his death […] The greatest lovers of the Prophet ﷺ were the Sahaba, and they did not create a third Eid. If Eid Milad was permissible, then Hazrat Sahib [the Promised Messiah (AS)], who was a great lover of the Prophet ﷺ, would have observed it. To create such an Eid is a sign of ignorance, and those who create it only want to please the masses, otherwise they have no religious zeal.”

_{[Irshadat-e-Noor, vol 2, pg 352-353]}

Stance of Beloved Huzoor (ATBA) on Mawlid

In his Khutbah (Friday Sermon) on March 13, 2009, on the topic “True Commemoration of the Blessed Life of the Holy Prophet ﷺ”, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (atba), Khalifatul Masih V, stated:

“The life of our beloved Prophet can be discussed at different times throughout the year, and such gatherings should be held. This has been the practice of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, and this is what the community does. Therefore, it is not tied to any specific day, but even if a specific day is designated for holding these gatherings and discussing the Prophet’s life—which is always discussed—there is no harm in it if it happens across the country and the world. However, it is essential that no innovations are included.”

_{[Alislam: Friday Sermon, March 13th, 2009]}

This question about celebrating Mawlid Jalsa was also once posed to Beloved Huzoor (atba) by a young female, to which Huzoor (atba) replied that while commemorating Jalsa Eid Milad Al-Nabi in the way many Muslims do is incorrect, it is also wrong to label it entirely forbidden. He explained that even in Qadian and Rabwah, people celebrated it by reciting “Salle Allah” and decorating their homes with lamps, lights, and small flags.

Huzoor (atba) clarified that celebrations are only forbidden when they involve harmful innovations. However, if such events are observed to highlight the message of Islam and the Holy Prophet ﷺ – for example, as a Jalsa Seerat-un-Nabi which we Ahmadis started and hold in many countries today – then there is no harm in them:

“Who says we do not celebrate it? We do not celebrate Milad-un-Nabi Jalsa on that day, which was started by the Non-Ahmadis. Seerat-un-Nabi Jalsa was started by Ahmadis, before that it was non-existent. When Hindus and Christians started their accusations against the Holy Prophet (SAW), at that time, above all others, the Promised Messiah (AS) responded to them. The Jalsas started in the time of Hazrat Musleh Maud (RA) and Seerat-un-Nabi Jalsas are now held today […] Hence we do not condemn it, in fact we started it. These people just celebrate Milad-un-Nabi once annually, talk a bit and then settle back down.”

_{[Waqf-e-Nau Class, June 8th, 2014]}

Furthermore, Ahmadi Muslims pretty much celebrate “Eid Milad-un-Nabi ” every single day. How?

Because beloved Huzoor, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (atba), has instructed all Ahmadis around the world to send Salawat (Durood Sharif) upon the Holy Prophet ﷺ at least 200 times daily (with age-based guidance for younger members). This practice shows that Ahmadis are remembering, honouring, and drawing closer to the Prophet ﷺ every single day throughout the year, and not just one day.

Conclusion

While millions of Muslims around the world celebrate Mawlid or Eid Milad Al-Nabi, Ahmadi Muslims should remember the clear guidance of the Promised Messiah (AS): the true way to honour the Holy Prophet ﷺ is through daily love and obedience, sending abundant Durood upon him and his progeny, and reflecting and studying his life – not through innovations that he himself never practiced.

There is a famous Anti-Ahmadiyya book circulated on the internet. It is titled: “An Unequivocal Clarification – Exposing the Qadiyani Ahmadiyya Sect“¹. The author was a renowned Sunni scholar and the Imam of the Masjid Haram in Mecca. The book is filled with blatant lies and absolute filth about Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS).

In this article, we will expose many of the lies from this book.

Author’s Introduction

I will post the introduction of the author as written in the book itself.

This should be enough to show that no matter the ‘high’ caliber of these so-called ‘scholars’, they are no different than the ignorant laymen on social media.

He is the scholar and Imām, Shaykh Abū ‘Abdillāh Muḥammad bin ‘Abdillāh as-Subayyil b.
He was born in 1345 AH (1924 CE), and he passed away in 1434 AH (2012 CE).

» HIS POSITIONS:
• Imām and Khaṭīb at Masjid al-Ḥarām in Makkah
• Member of the Permanent Committee of Scholars
• Member of the Islamic Fiqh Academy
• President of General Affairs in Masjid al-Ḥarām and Masjid an-Nabawī in Madīnah.

» HIS DA’WAH EFFORTS:
Shaykh Muḥammad as-Subayyil authored numerous works and had many great efforts in da’wah, visiting more than 50 countries to teach and spread Islām, such that many people accepted Islām by way of Allāh and then though his da’wah and gentleness.

» HIS SCHOLARS:
Shaykh Muḥammad as-Subayyil studied with a number of scholars, among them:
• Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azīz as-Subayyil (his brother), the judge of Bekeriyah
• Shaykh ‘Abdullāh as-Subayyil (his father)
• Shaykh Muḥammad bin Muqbil al-Muqbil, the judge of Bekeriyah
• Shaykh ‘Abdullāh bin Ḥumayd

» HIS STUDENTS:
Shaykh Muḥammad as-Subayyil had many students, among them:
• Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Luhaydān
• Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān
• Shaykh Muqbil bin Hādī al-Wādi’ī

Blatant Lies

In this section, we will only list the very blatant lies mentioned in the book

Death on toilet

The Indian newspaper also published a piece on the death of Ghulām Aḥmad. They stated that, when Ghulām Aḥmad al-Qādiyānī—the false prophet—was stricken with cholera, there was filth exiting from his mouth prior to his death. And he died while sitting on the toilet, defecating in the bathroom.

[Pg 11232321]

This is a blatant lie without any citation. No newspaper has this and there is no proof of this anywhere.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) died exactly like the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), surrounded by his family, in remembrance of Allah and after prophesying his own death. Full article can be read here.

Death after hitting on the bed

The next lie he makes up is that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) dies because he hit his head on the bed post. So what is true? He died because he hit on the bed post or that he died on the toilet? This ignorant Mawlavi can’t even make up his mind.

When he stopped vomiting, he wanted to lie down, but he fell down on the bed and hit his head against the wooden bedpost and died.
Reference: Mirzā Bashīr ad-Dīn. Biography of the Mahdī, 1/11, narration #12.

[Pg 11232321]

He quotes a reference but no such reference exists in the book, Seeratul Mahdi that says Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (AS) died after hitting his head on the bed post. Full article can be read here again which contains the narrations from the same book.

Deny Virgin Birth of Isa (AS)

» THEY DENY THAT JESUS  WAS BORN WITHOUT A FATHER
They deny that Jesus (‘Īsā) was born from a mother without a father. They say that he has a father; thus, they accuse Allāh of lying in His statement:

Verily, the likeness of Jesus with Allāh is the likeness of Ādam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: “Be!” and he was.
[Sūrah Āli ‘Imrān 3:59]

[Pg 11232321]

This is again a blatant lie and no reference from any book of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) is quoted. Ahmad (AS) has numerous times mentioned that Isa (AS) was born without a father. Full article with references can be read here.

Deny Miracles of Prophets

» THEY REJECT THE MIRACLES OF THE PROPHETS
They reject the miracles of the prophets, even though these miracles are narrated through reports with numerous chains of narration; and they are stated in several places in the Qur’ān, such as in the stories of Ṣāliḥ, Moses (Mūsā), Jesus, and Muḥammad.

[Pg 14]

Another lie and again without any reference or citation.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) never denied any miracle of any prophets. On the contrary, he showed numerous miracles throughout his life, like healing the sick, death prophecy of many individuals, miracles through acceptance of dua and many more. These can be read under the section of our website called, Sign of Messiah.

Ahmad (AS) even challenged his enemies that they can throw him into a live burning hell fire and God would save him like he saved Ibrahim (AS).

Abrogated Jihad

» THEY CLAIM THAT JIHĀD HAS BEEN ABROGATED
They claim that jihād has been abrogated, even though the Qur’ān, the Sunnah, and the consensus of the scholars [all agree] that it remains.

[Pg 14]

No citation or reference again!

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) never claimed that Jihad is abrogated. He even rejected the theory of abrogation (Naskh Mansukh) that Sunnis believe in. They believe that there commandments and verses in Quran that are abrogated (are useless) and can never be used for legal rulings or otherwise. Full article here.

Get Money from British and British Spies

» THEY HAVE ANIMOSITY & ENMITY TOWARDS THE MUSLIMS
Their enmity towards the Muslims is immense while they have allegiance towards the non-Muslims, especially Britain, from whom they receive large amounts of money to disseminate their false beliefs. For this reason, you will rarely find a country that England has colonized except that the Ahmadiyya have centers and preachers within it. They even established a center in Israel, where they are given complete support and assistance such that they publish a monthly magazine there called Al-Bushra. All of this—and other matters, as well, which will be mentioned during this analysis—proves that they have evil intentions against the Muslims, and their destructive principles clearly oppose the religion of Islām and contradict the foundations and principles of this religion.

[Pg 14]

Again no citation or reference. What is wrong with this ‘scholar’? Why can’t he ever provide any proof of his claim?

This is absolutely absurd. Ahmadi Muslims are probably the only group of Muslims who never receives monetary favors from any country or any other group. Unlike the Sunni Muslims who get government funding from the British government and other governments around the world. This has been the case since the British were in India. Just one example is the famous Salafi Sunni Green Lane Masjid in UK receiving multi million dollar donation from the government.²Birminghammail.co.uk]³

Lastly, Arab Sunnis converted to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community settled in Palestine, long before the Sunnis lost it to the Zionists. Just like many Sunni Muslims, they have been living in the Palestine since decades. Claiming that Ahmadis get any special favors from Israel is completely absurd, that too without citing any source.

No Miracles from Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS)?

His followers answered his call and believed in him without any evidence or clear proof from him; rather, they followed
him simply because he appealed to them. They complied with his wishes without scrutinizing his statements or examining his claim. If they’d had any knowledge about the rules of the religion, the verses from the Qur’ān, and the miracles of the prophets and messengers, they would have never accepted his fallacious claim; they would have never accepted his fabrication. Surely, it is a must that prophets bring miracles and evidence to substantiate their prophethood, miracles that will necessitate the people to believe in them [because they can do] things man is not able to do.

If only these Qādiyānis would have requested their alleged prophet to perform any such miracle so they would have proof of his truthfulness.

[Pg 23]

I am tired of repeating but again, he cites no proof or a reference.

I have already mentioned the numerous miracles of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS). These can be read under the section of our website called, Sign of Messiah.

The rest is childish tantrums saying people believe in him without evidence and so on. Unlike the ‘Giant scholar’ of Sunnis, we will stay academic.

Qadian greater than Mecca and Madina?

» GHULĀM AḤMAD CLAIMED THAT HIS HOMELAND OF QADIAN IS GREATER THAN MAKKAH & MADĪNAH
He said: “Verily, the Noble Qur’ān mentions the names of three towns with reverence and veneration: Makkah, Madīnah,
and Qadian.”11

He said: “Verily, Qadian is the Mother of Towns; whoever cuts it off will be cut and shredded. Thus, fear lest you be cut and shredded. The fruits of Makkah and Madīnah have ceased, but the fruits of Qadian continue to be fresh.”12

11 Notes on Dispelling Illusions, p. 34
12 The Reality of Dreams, p. 46

[Pg 34]

Finally, he gave some references to his lies.

The first reference does not say Qadian is greater than Mecca and Medina. Rather, it is placed third, after Mecca and Medina. Moreover, the statement is from Kashf (vision) of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS). Read more here.

The second reference is not from any book of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS). There is no book named The Reality of Dreams by Ahmad (AS).

There are many more lies and misquotes in the book but it will be added to this article over a period of time.

References

asdasd

To prove that Isa (AS) is alive, Anti-Ahmadis quote a narration from Al-Asma’ wa al-Sifat (Arabic: الأسماء والصفات) by Imam al-Baihaqi (RH) which says the following:

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، مَوْلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فِيكُمْ وَإِمَامُكُمْ مِنْكُمْ» . رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ يُونُسَ. وَإِنَّمَا أَرَادَ نُزُولَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بَعْدَ الرَّفْعِ إِلَيْهِ

“What will be your condition when the son of Maryam (i.e. ‘Eisa) will descend amongst you from the heavens and your Imam will be from amongst you?”

Bukhari narrated it in al-Sahih from Yahya bin Bukayr. And Muslim also narrated it through another chain from Yunus (bin Yazid). And they (also) meant his descent from the Heavens after his ascension towards it.

[Al-Asma’ wa al-Sifat]

Anti-Ahmadis allege that since this hadith mentions the coming of the Messiah from the skies, thus, it proves that Jesus (AS) is alive.

Refutation

Decietful Tehreef (Distortion)

Anti-Ahmadis cannot change the Holy Quran, as Allah has promised to protect it, so they alter what they can. This hadith does not contain the word ‘samaa’ (مِنَ السَّمَاءِ) or has any reference to heavens/skies. It is a deceitful and dangerous addition by the Anti-Ahmadis. A complete tahrif in the words of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

The correct wording is:

كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فِيكُمْ وَإِمَامُكُمْ مِنْكُمْ

How will you be when the son of Mary descends amongst you and is your imam among you.

[Al-Asma’ wa al-Sifat]

The following are four different manuscripts of the hadith book al-Asma’ wa al-Sifat. None of them contain the word ‘samaa’ or ‘min al-samaa’. So how can any computerized or printed version of this book include this word?

Manuscript 1

Manuscript 2

Manuscript 3

Manuscript 4

These manuscripts can be downloaded directly from source as well.¹

Does any Manuscript has the word Samaa?

Some deceitful Anti-Ahmadis might share a PDF of a manuscript that supposedly contains the word ‘samaa’. This is an even greater deception than what we discussed above. An Anti-Ahmadi group has deliberately edited the manuscript to insert this word.

What’s shocking is that they chose Manuscript 1 from above to alter. We compared the original manuscript with the PDF these Anti-Ahmadis share on archive.org.

You can clearly see that the entire page is unchanged except for the spot where they added the word ‘min al-samaa’. To make it fit, they shrank the font for the rest of the line so everything would stay on the same line. It is unbelievable to see these so-called Muslims go to such extremes to fabricate the words of our Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Not so shockingly, the distorted manuscript on archive.org is uploaded by the same Anti-Ahmadi culprits, Khatam e Nabuwat Times. This is the same organization that persecutes and kills Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan and carries out other attacks on the community worldwide. One can see their character from the list of books they have uploaded on the archive.org. Many of them are filthy personal attacks on Ahmadis without a shred of evidence.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Anti-Ahmadis have not even spared the words of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) from Tehreef. They consider everything in the opposition of the Ahmadi Muslims to be Halal.

They have clearly and shamelessly added the word ‘samaa’ into the hadith quoted by Imam Bayhaqi. It does not exist in any of the manuscripts of the Al-Asma’ wa al-Sifat of Imam Bayhaqi. Neither does Sahih Bukhari or Sahih Muslim have this addition, even though they quote the exact same narration with similar narrators.

We will leave the Anti-Ahmadis with this warning of the Prophet (SAW).

لاَ تَكْذِبُوا عَلَىَّ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ فَلْيَلِجِ النَّارَ

The Prophet (ﷺ) said

“Do not tell a lie against me for whoever tells a lie against me then he will surely enter the Hell-fire.”

[Sahih al-Bukhari 106]

References

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS deeply loved and respected Ahlul Bayt. His writings are filled with praise, admire and respect for the family of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Even his visions testify to the love he had for the family of Prophet Muhammad SAW.

But as is the case with all disbelievers, the enemies of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) are no different. Filthy minded Anti-Ahmadis allege that the Promised Messiah (AS) wrote sexual or indecent stuff about Fatima (RA). They further claim that this indecent writing takes one outside the fold of Islam. Let’s take a look at that ‘indecent’ writing.

Refutation

This is the passage:

“At this point, I recall a very clear vision which was as follows: After Maghrib prayer, while I was fully awake, I was overtaken by a slight numbing of my faculties […] and had a wonderful experience. First, there was a sound of some people walking fast […] and then five very dignified, holy and handsome personages came into my vision. They were the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, Hazrat Ali, Hasan, Husain and Fatimah al-Zahra, may Allah be pleased with all of them. One of them, and I think it was Hazrat Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her, out of great affection and kindness, like a loving mother, placed this humble one’s head upon her thigh. Then I was given a book concerning which I was told, ‘It is a commentary on the Holy Quran, which has been compiled by Ali and now Ali bestows it upon you.’فالحمد‭ ‬للّٰه‭ ‬على‭ ‬ذلك [Allah be praised for all this]”
_{[Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, Part 4, pg. 389-390]}

Can anyone point out the blasphemy in the quote above? Where is the indecent and sexual passage that the Anti-Ahmadis talk about? Their minds are filled with filth and indecent thoughts themselves.

Lastly, these filthy minded Anti-Ahmadis should start with the Takfir of their own saints and scholars. For example, Hazrat Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani RH – a highly respected scholar and saint in Islamic history – narrated his vision:

“And that I saw in the dream that I was in the lap of Hazrat Aisha^ra and she suckled me from the right side and then the left. At the same time, Hazrat Muhammad^sa came inside.”
_{[Qala‘idul-Jawahir fi Manaqib, Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, published in Egypt, p. 57]}

Furthermore, the leading scholar of the Deobandis, Ashraf Ali Thanvi, writes:

ہم‭ ‬ايک‭ ‬دفعہ‭ ‬بيمار‭ ‬ہوگئے‭ ‬ہم‭ ‬كو‭ ‬مرنے‭ ‬سے‭ ‬بہت‭ ‬ڈر‭ ‬لگتا‭ ‬ہے‭ ‬ہم‭ ‬نے‭ ‬خواب‭ ‬ميں‭ ‬حضرت‭ ‬فاطمہ‭ ‬رضی‭ ‬الله‭ ‬عنها‭ ‬كو‭ ‬ديكها‭ ‬انہوں‭ ‬نے‭ ‬ہم‭ ‬كو‭ ‬اپنے‭ ‬سينے‭ ‬سے‭ ‬چمٹا‭ ‬ليا‭ ‬ہم‭ ‬اچهے‭ ‬ہو‭ ‬گئے
“Once, I was very ill and I was extremely afraid of dying. I then saw Hazrat Fatimah^ra in a dream and she embraced me to her chest, and I got well.”
_{[Malfuzat by Ashraf Ali Thanvi, Vol. 8, p. 65]}

Conclusion

This clearly shows us that when the top scholars and saints of these Anti-Ahmadis see dreams of being embraced by Hazrat Fatimah RA or being suckled by Hazrat Aisha RA, it’s all seen as pious and spiritual, and these are readily accepted as signs of nearness to Allah.

However, when Allah vouchsafes a vision of profound love and dignity to His beloved Messiah and Mahdi, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS, it is attacked and misrepresented as disrespect. This double standard only exposes their bias and proves that they do not judge by the truth at all.

We will end this refutation article by quoting our beloved Imam Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V, Mirza Masroor Ahmad (ABA) who beautifully answered this allegation in his Friday Sermon on 28 August 2020:

The maulvis [clerics] who have polluted minds raise allegations against this extract where the Promised Messiah^as has written that Hazrat Fatimah^ra placed his head on her thigh. The Promised Messiah^as is saying this in context to how a mother shows affection to her child; however, how can one explain this to these people whose minds are polluted? When ordinary Muslims hear their statements, they think that Hazrat Fatimah^ra has been dishonoured, God forbid. Even though the Promised Messiah^as clarifies it further by saying just how affectionate she was to him just like that of a mother [to her child].
_{[Friday Sermon, 28 August 2020]}

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS deeply loved and respected Ahlul Bayt. His writings are filled with praise, admire and respect for the family of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. A beautiful and heartwarming example can be seen below:

But Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) was undoubtedly pure and manifestly righteous, and without question he was among those chosen ones whom God Himself purifies with His own hand and fills with His love. Without a doubt, he is from the chieftains of paradise, and harboring even an iota’s worth of rancour against him is a means of being deprived of faith. And this Imam’s righteousness, love for God, patience, steadfastness, devotion and worship is a perfect example (uswa hasana) for us. We are followers of the guidance granted to this innocent Imam. Perished is the heart that bears enmity towards him, and truly successful is the heart that demonstrates love for him in practice and reflects, through complete devotion, all the marks of his faith, character, courage, piety, steadfastness, and love of God; just as the image of a beautiful person is perfectly reflected in a clear mirror.

[Majmu‘ah-e-Ishtiharat, Vol. 3, p. 375]

In this article, we will refute the lies and misquotations of the Anti Ahmadis regarding their claim that Promised Messiah AS disrespected Ahlul Bayt i.e the family of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) or Hazrat Ali RA or Imam Hussain RA.

Anti Ahmadis present the following reference and claim that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS disrespected Imam Hussain RA.

وَأَمَّا حُسَيْنُ فَاذْكُرُوا دَشْتَ كَرْبَلَا إِلَى هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ تَبْكُوْنَ فَانْظُرُوا

There is a marked difference between me and your Husain,
For I am ever supported and helped by Almighty God.

But, so far as Husain is concerned, recall what happened in the desert of Karbala;
You still cry over it. You ought to reflect.

[The Miracle of Ahmad, pg. 130]

This allegation is a prime example of how Anti-Ahmadis nitpick on one line while hiding the rest of the context, a practice that Christians and Islamophobes do regarding the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and Islam.

Refutation

This passage is an accusatory response to a Shia scholar named Ali Hairi who believed Imam Hussain RA was God, or possessed all divine attributes and powers of Allah. He had exaggerated the status of Imam Hussain (RA) above even the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). This is why the Promised Messiah AS uses the word “your” to distinguish that it is not our Hussain RA but rather the imaginative/fictional Imams of the Shia that is god.

Immediately before writing the poem, Promised Messiah (AS) clarifies that there is no disrespect of Imam Hussain (RA) in the Qasidah. Anti-Ahmadis won’t mention this ever!

This is going to be the final battle, so the Shiite should seek help from Husain, and Golarhi from some of his own elders.
…
What I have written in the qasidah about Imam Husain, may Allah be pleased with him, or about Hadrat ‘Isa [ Jesus], peace be upon him, is not based on human understanding. Evil indeed is he who speaks foul of God’s perfect and righteous servants based on his own selfish notions. I believe firmly that no one can survive even for a night after having spoken impertinently about such righteous people like Husain and Hadrat ‘Isa. Instead, according to the wa‘id مَن ْ عَادَا وَلیًّا لِي [He who is at enmity with a friend of Mine] such a person is quickly seized.
[The Miracle of Ahmad, pg. 66]

Similarly, the context of the Qasidah completely explains everything. These are few couplets immediately before and after those which are quoted by the Anti-Ahmadis that clearly show that it is talking about the fictional Imam Hussain (RA) that Shias have made up.

Do you consider him [Husain] to be more pious than the entire world?
O exaggerator, what have you gained from such exaggeration?

You have believed Husain to be better than the entire creation,
And all those whom God has created.

This would be like the statement issued by the Christians regarding ‘Isa [Jesus],
O ye who are so similar to the Christians!

I find it amazing how the hearts of these two groups have come to bear such striking resemblance;
Indeed, the heavens may well-nigh rend asunder because of what they say.

Was Husain better than all the Prophets?
Was he an intercessor for the Prophets and more pious than all of them?

Be on your guard! For Almighty God invokes His curse on the person,
Who tells lies by making exaggerated statements and utilizes not the insight granted to him.

I consider Shirk [associating partners with Allah] among the Shias to be as perilous as Shirk among the Christians;
I see the ignorant embracing the Shiite faith and Christianity.

Therefore, O Ali Hairi! Fear God and repent;
If you have decided to confront me, then here I am to confront you.

Like the idol-worshippers you have made rounds of Husain’s grave;
He still failed to grant you salvation and did not come to your help.

This exposed the weakness and shortcomings of the person, that is, Husain,
About whom you said that on the Day of Judgment he would intercede even on behalf of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, so reflect.

You believe that Husain is the Chief of all mankind;
And that every Prophet shall be granted salvation and forgiveness by his intercession alone.

If the Faith could warrant such Shirk,
Then the advent of all the Messengers of God was simply absurd.

This belief is a calumny and denigration of the high spiritual station of the Prophets;
O beast of the jungle! May you perish! Why have you become so audacious?!

You declared Husain to be better than all the Messengers;
And thus you crossed all limits of truthfulness. And, surely God is a witness to this

In times of trial and hardship you seek help only from him,
As if Husain is your Lord, O wicked liar!

Your religious scholars fell down before him like ones prostrating;
How can you now hold the disbelievers and Christians guilty of such acts of sinfulness?

You have forgotten the honour and glory of Almighty God,
And recite only the name of Husain. Do you think you can deny this?

The Promised Messiah (AS) clearly compares the Shia scholar to the Christians who claim Isa (AS) is god and also uses the same words used for trinitarian Christians in the Holy Quran, “Indeed, the heavens may well-nigh rend asunder because of what they say.“

He then quotes their beliefs that:

• Imam Hussain (RA) is better than Muhammad (SAW)
• Better than all prophets
• All prophets attain salvation through Imam Hussain (RA)
• Shia scholars ask only Hussain (RA) for Dua
• They even prostrate towards Imam Hussain (RA) just like the Christians!

Conclusion

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) never disrespected anyone from the Ahlul Bayt. He used this Qasidah to warn the Shias about their Shirk and asked them to worship the God that is helping him everyday, rather than a mere human who had died long ago.

The Qasidah from which the Anti-Ahmadis make this allegation is filled with defense of Tawhid (unit of Allah) and refutation of Shirk. Anti Ahmadis who have an issue with this Qasidah are no different than the Christians who also make a mere human their deity and worship him rather than Allah.

Introduction

In multiple Ahadith, its prophesied that the Dajjal will have a huge donkey. This donkey will be used by Dajjal to travel through the earth with remarkable speed.

All the descriptions of this donkey are interpreted to refer to modern modes of transportation. In this article, the primary sources, scans, and translations will be provided for these ahadith, along with how they clearly apply to a modern mode of transportation.

Note on Authentication

Normally, we strive to establish the authenticity of Ahadith in our articles. However, in this case—due to the variety of narrations regarding Dajjal’s donkey—we will not delve deeply into the authentication of each individual Hadith. Instead, we will adhere to the principle that the fulfillment of a Hadith is itself a strong proof of its authenticity and truth. As you read this article, it will become evident how these Ahadith have been fulfilled.

Moreover, many non-Ahmadi Muslims—even when acknowledging that some of these Ahadith have weak chains—still accept the signs related to Dajjal’s donkey as valid. Therefore, to accept these narrations initially, but then reject them solely because Ahmadis reference them, is a clear example of double standards.

Holy Quran

Verse 1: Dajjal Donkey Metaphorical

If great modes of transport were to be built in the future, then the primary prophecies would be found in the Holy Quran. the book that contains comprehensive knowledge, and prophecies.

وَّالۡخَیۡلَ وَالۡبِغَالَ وَالۡحَمِیۡرَ لِتَرۡکَبُوۡہَا وَزِیۡنَۃً ؕ وَیَخۡلُقُ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

And He has created horses and mules and donkeys (al-hamayr) that you may ride them, and as a source of beauty. And He will create what you do not yet know.

[Holy Quran 16:9]

This verse is extremely explicit, it says that in the future God will create a mode of transport which the Arabs know nothing about. Which is obviously referring to all our modern modes of transport. It also explicitly says that the mode of transport God will create in the future are not donkeys (al-hamayr, plural of Himar), it is something else. Therefore, this verse proves that the Himar (donkey of Dajjal) must be interpreted metaphorically. There is no other choice, because the verse clearly distinguishes that the future mode of transport will not be literal donkeys. And Dajjal is also in the future. Therefore the “donkey of Dajjal” can never refer to a literal Himar (donkey).

Verse 2: Camels abandoned for travel at Messiah’s time

وَاِذَا الۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ

And when the she-camels, tenmonth pregnant, are abandoned,

[Holy Quran 81:5]

This Surah prophesies that one day the most valuable form of transport for the Arabic (10 month pregnant camel) would be abandoned.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger or Allah (ﷺ) observed:

I swear by Allah that the son of Mary will certainly descend as a just judge and he would definitely break the cross, and kill swine and abolish Jizya and would leave the young she-camel and no one would travel upon it. Spite, mutual hatred and jealousy against one another will certainly disappear and when he summons people to accept wealth, not even one would do so.

[Sahih Muslim 155c]

Sunnah.com translated (وَلَتُتْرَكَنَّ الْقِلاَصُ فَلاَ يُسْعَى عَلَيْهَا) very strangely. We have put the correct translation above. This says that at the time of the Messiah’s descent, camels would be abandoned as a mode of transport. And the first first in Surah an Nahl in which Allah Almighty says He will create what the Arabs did not yet know, is the mode of transport that would be used. The Holy Quran and Sahih Ahadith hold clear prophecies for modern transport. Moreover, it should be noted that the time of the Messiah is the time of Dajjal, therefore camels would be abandoned for transport at the time of Dajjal too.

Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) was in an apartment and we were beneath that, that he peeped in and said to us: What are you discussing about? We said: (We are discussing about the Last) Hour. Thereupon he said: The Last Hour would not come until the ten signs appear: land-sliding in the east, and land-sliding in the west, and land-sliding in the peninsula of Arabia, the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast of the earth, Gog and Magog, the rising of the sun from the west and the fire which would emit from the lower part of ‘Adan. Shu’ba said that ‘Abd al-‘Aziz b. Rufai’ reported on the authority of Abu Tufail who reported on the authority of Abu Sariha a hadith like this that Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) did not make a mention of (the tenth sign) but he said that out of the ten one was the descent of Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him), and in another version it is the blowing of the violent gale which would drive the people to the ocean.

[Sahih Muslim 2901b]

So at the time of Dajjal and the true Messiah, camels would be abandoned for travel. This is a clear proof for Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) of Qadian for being the Messiah. At his (as) time camels were being abandoned for travel and were replaced with railways etc.

Hadith 1: Journeys take year/month/week, 40 cubits earspan

دثنا محمد بن سابق حدثنا إبراهيم بن طهمان عن أبي الزبير عن جابر بن عبد الله أنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يخرج الدجال في خفقة من الدين وإدبار من العلم فله أربعون ليلة يسيحها في الأرض اليوم منها كالسنة واليوم منها كالشهر واليوم منها كالجمعة ثم سائر أيامه كأيامكم هذه وله حمار يركبه عرض ما بين أذنيه أربعون ذراعا فيقول للناس أنا ربكم وهو أعور وإن ربكم ليس بأعور مكتوب بين عينيه كافر ك ف ر مهجاة يقرؤه كل مؤمن كاتب وغير كاتب يرد كل ماء ومنهل إلا المدينة ومكة حرمهما الله عليه وقامت الملائكة بأبوابها نهران أنا أعلم بهما منه نهر يقول الجنة ونهر يقول النار فمن أدخل الذي يسميه الجنة فهو النار ومن أدخل الذي يسميه [ ص: 368 ] النار فهو الجنة قال ويبعث الله معه شياطين تكلم الناس ومعه فتنة عظيمة يأمر السماء فتمطر فيما يرى الناس ويقتل نفسا ثم يحييها فيما يرى الناس لا يسلط على غيرها من الناس ويقول أيها الناس هل يفعل مثل هذا إلا الرب عز وجل قال فيفر المسلمون إلى جبل الدخان بالشام فيأتيهم فيحاصرهم فيشتد حصارهم ويجهدهم جهدا شديدا ثم ينزل عيسى ابن مريم فينادي من السحر فيقول يا أيها الناس ما يمنعكم أن تخرجوا إلى الكذاب الخبيث فيقولون هذا رجل جني فينطلقون فإذا هم بعيسى ابن مريم صلى الله عليه وسلم فتقام الصلاة فيقال له تقدم يا روح الله فيقول ليتقدم إمامكم فليصل بكم فإذا صلى صلاة الصبح خرجوا إليه قال فحين يرى الكذاب ينماث كما ينماث الملح في الماء فيمشي إليه فيقتله حتى إن الشجرة والحجر ينادي يا روح الله هذا يهودي فلا يترك ممن كان يتبعه أحدا إلا قتله

“…the Dajjal will emerge during a time of religious decline and decline of [religious] knowledge. In forty nights he will travel across the earth. One of these days will be like a year, one day will be like a month, one day will be like a week, and the rest of his days will be like your days. He will have a donkey to ride, the distance between its ears being forty cubits… He will have a mountain of bread with him, and everyone will be in hardship except those who follow him”

[Arabic: Musnad Ahmad 14537]

This hadith is among those of Dajjal’s donkey that are considered Sahih:

1. Hamza Ahmed Al-Zein in his grading of Musnad Ahmad says its Sahih
2. Imam Hakim graded a rendering with slightly different wording, saying the same thing, Sahih
3. Imam Haytami said its narrated via 2 chains in Musand Ahmad, one of which is Sahih
4. Shu’aib al-Arnaut graded it Sahih on the condition of Imam Muslim

This hadith says a couple of points:

• Dajjal will be able to travel to whole earth in forty days
• Some days of his travel will be the length of a year
• Some days of his travel will be the length of a month
• Some days of his travel will be the length of a week
• Some days of his travel will be the length of a day
• His travelling is related to a donkey which he will ride
• This donkey will have an ear-span of 40 cubits
• Dajjal will possess mountains of bread/food

The interpretation only takes a second to figure out, due to the clarity of this hadith. Dajjal’s donkey’s ear-span is the wing-span of an airplane. And this is also the length of many railways. Dajjal travelling the whole earth in forty days, is a reality which is possible due to modern modes of transportation.

Hadith says some days will be like a year, some a month, some a week, and the rest like normal days. The hadith is literally saying that it will take these specific periods of time to travel the earth. To travel from Europe to other continents, travelling on foot and basic animals takes years (like in the ancient days). Then, travelling to different continents took months when great ships were innovated. Then travelling on railways took weeks (ex. the Trans-Siberian railway takes 7 days to span the entirety of Asia, from East to West). And now with the invention of airplanes, it takes days to get everywhere.

The hadith connects this travelling taking weeks, months, years to Dajjal’s donkey, meaning to say, Dajjal will be seated on his donkey when travelling these different distances (days, weeks, months, years).

And all these different modes of transportation, take mountains of food, bread, and resources along with them.

This hadith is narrated by multiple Ai’mmah, has different renderings, and has multiple chains. It is Sahih.

Hadith 1.1: Donkey is like cloud on wind

Another rendering of this hadith is in Sahih Muslim, which gives the speed of Dajjal on his donkey.

‏.‏ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا لَبْثُهُ فِي الأَرْضِ قَالَ ‏”‏ أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْمًا يَوْمٌ كَسَنَةٍ وَيَوْمٌ كَشَهْرٍ وَيَوْمٌ كَجُمُعَةٍ وَسَائِرُ أَيَّامِهِ كَأَيَّامِكُمْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَسَنَةٍ أَتَكْفِينَا فِيهِ صَلاَةُ يَوْمٍ قَالَ ‏”‏ لاَ اقْدُرُوا لَهُ قَدْرَهُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا إِسْرَاعُهُ فِي الأَرْضِ قَالَ ‏”‏ كَالْغَيْثِ اسْتَدْبَرَتْهُ الرِّيحُ

We said: Allah’s Messenger, how long would he stay on the earth? He (ﷺ) said: For forty days, one day like a year and one day like a month and one day like a week and the rest of the days would be like your days. We said: Allah’s Messenger, would one day’s prayer suffice for the prayers of day equal to one year? Thereupon he (ﷺ) said: No, but you must make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer). We said: Allah’s Messenger, how quickly would he walk upon the earth? Thereupon he (ﷺ) said: Like cloud driven by the wind.

[Sahih Muslim 2937a]
[Sunan Ibn Majah 4075]
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2240]

So, along with the different periods of time it will take the Dajjal on his donkey to get to places (years, months, weeks, days), the speed of the Dajjal¹ on his donkey, will be like a cloud driven by wind. Which donkey travels like a cloud in the sky on the wind? Its referring to airplane. And what modes of transportation go so fast, that some of them can even reach the fastest wind speeds? Cars, trains, jets etc. For reference the fastest wind speed ever recorded is 231 mph, while the bullet train goes at 200 mph, and jets go a wopping 500 mph or more. Therefore, this hadith refers to nothing but modern transportation.

The hadith specifically says “cloud driven by wind”, an average cloud travels 30-40 mph, and average car has to go, due to road rules, 50 mph. The speeds of car vary on the roads, just like the speeds of clouds can also vary. This hadith is very clear.

Hadith 1.2: Donkey has lights, 70 cubits earspan

عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : ” يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ عَلَى حِمَارٍ أَقْمَرَ ، مَا بَيْنَ أُذُنَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ بَاعًا ” ، قَالَهُ لِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ : عَنْ أَخِيهِ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ

The Prophet (saw) said: The Dajjal will emerge on a moon-lit donkey, the span between its ears being seventy cubits”

[Arabic: At-Tarikh al-Kabir, Vol 1, pg 198]

This chain of transmission is weak. However, it gives more information on the first hadith which is sahih, so it can be used. Moreover, a fulfilled hadith has the highest level of authenticity.

Imam Bukhari writes this rendering in his famous work, Tarikh-al-Kabir, that the Dajjal will be in a Himar Aqmar, a moon-lit donkey. This Himar Aqmar word has multiple literal meanings 1. the donkey will have moon-like lights, inside or outside 2. the donkey will be the shining color of the moon, pure white. Aqmar (أَقْمَرَ) comes from Qamar (moon), the word means “be moon-lit” i.e. have moon-like lights according to lexicons. Therefore the hadith is saying the donkey will be moon-lit via some lights.

The hadith goes on to say, that the span between its ears will be seventy cubits.

Now what has moon-like lights, inside or outside, is pure white, and its span is seventy cubits or the like? The donkey is an airplane.

The first narration says forty cubits (أربعون ذراعا), while this one says (سَبْعُونَ بَاعًا). This shows that the donkey will have different earspans. Forty cubits, seventy cubits, or even more. Therefore an ignorant one’s allegation that a commercial airplane wingspan is not seventy cubits is completely baseless. 1. Small planes do have 70 cubits wing-span 2. The variation in the ear span shows that it’s not a set span, it can be greater or smaller than the ear span given in the Ahadith.

Hadith 2: Donkey is very fast

The Dajjal will travel to every town except Makkah, and Madinah, this is another hadith which shows the immense speed of his mode of transport, its inferred Dajjal will be seated on his donkey. However, even if one doesn’t want to accept this inference, it doesn’t disprove the point – that the Dajjal will have an extremely fast way to travel the earth and could go to every city very fast.

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ لَيْسَ مِنْ بَلَدٍ إِلاَّ سَيَطَؤُهُ الدَّجَّالُ، إِلاَّ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةَ، لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْ نِقَابِهَا نَقْبٌ إِلاَّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ صَافِّينَ، يَحْرُسُونَهَا، ثُمَّ تَرْجُفُ الْمَدِينَةُ بِأَهْلِهَا ثَلاَثَ رَجَفَاتٍ، فَيُخْرِجُ اللَّهُ كُلَّ كَافِرٍ وَمُنَافِقٍ ‏”‏‏.‏

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “There will be no town which Ad-Dajjal will not enter except Mecca and Medina, and there will be no entrance (road) (of both Mecca and Medina) but the angels will be standing in rows guarding it against him, and then Medina will shake with its inhabitants thrice (i.e. three earthquakes will take place) and Allah will expel all the non-believers and the hypocrites from it.”

[Sahih al-Bukhari 1881]
[Sahih Muslim 2943a]

So, Dajjal will travel very fast – that’s how he can reach all towns so fast except Mecca, Medina.

Hadith 3: Donkey is filthy

 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْحَافِظُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، ثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ بِالْكُوفَةِ، فَقِيلَ: خَرَجَ الدَّجَّالُ، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ، فَقُلْتُ: هَذَا الدَّجَّالُ قَدْ خَرَجَ، فَقَالَ: اجْلِسْ، فَجَلَسْتُ فَأَتَى عَلَيَّ الْعَرِّيفُ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا الدَّجَّالُ قَدْ خَرَجَ وَأَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ يُطَاعِنُونَهُ، قَالَ: اجْلِسْ، فَجَلَسْتُ فَنُودِيَ إِنَّهَا كَذِبَةٌ صَبَاغٌ، قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا يَا أَبَا سَرِيحَةَ مَا أَجْلَسْتَنَا إِلَّا لِأَمْرٍ فَحَدِّثْنَا، قَالَ: ” إِنَّ الدَّجَّالَ لَوْ خَرَجَ فِي زَمَانِكُمْ لَرَمَتْهُ الصِّبْيَانُ بِالْخَذْفِ، وَلَكِنَّ الدَّجَّالَ يَخْرُجُ فِي بُغْضٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَخِفَّةٍ مِنَ الدِّينِ، وَسُوءِ ذَاتِ بَيْنٍ، فَيَرِدُ كُلَّ مَنْهَلٍ، فَتُطْوَى لَهُ الْأَرْضُ طَيَّ فَرْوَةِ الْكَبْشِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَيَغْلِبُ عَلَى خَارِجِهَا وَيَمْنَعُ دَاخَلَهَا، ثُمَّ جَبَلَ إِيلِيَاءَ فَيُحَاصِرُ عِصَابَةً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُمُ الَّذِينَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا تَنْتَظِرُونَ بِهَذَا الطَّاغِيَةِ أَنْ تُقَاتِلُوهُ حَتَّى تَلْحَقُوا بِاللَّهِ أَوْ يُفْتَحَ لَكُمْ، فَيَأْتَمِرُونَ أَنْ يُقَاتِلُوهُ إِذَا أَصْبَحُوا، فَيُصْبِحُونَ وَمَعَهُمْ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فَيَقْتُلُ الدَّجَّالَ وَيَهْزِمُ أَصْحَابَهُ، حَتَّى إِنَّ الشَّجَرَ وَالْحَجَرَ وَالْمَدَرَ، يَقُولُ: يَا مُؤْمِنُ هَذَا يَهُودِيٌّ عِنْدِي فَاقْتُلْهُ “، قَالَ: ” وَفِيهِ ثَلَاثُ عَلَامَاتٍ: هُوَ أَعْوَرُ وَرَبُّكُمْ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ، وَمَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ كَافِرٌ يَقْرَأُهُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ أُمِّيٌّ وَكَاتِبٌ، وَلَا يُسَخَّرُ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَطَايَا إِلَّا الْحِمَارُ، فَهُوَ رِجْسٌ عَلَى رِجْسٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَنَا لِغَيْرِ الدَّجَّالِ أَخْوَفُ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَيْكُمْ “، قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا: مَا هُوَ يَا أَبَا سَرِيحَةَ؟ قَالَ: «فِتَنٌ كَأَنَّهَا قِطَعُ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ» ، قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا: أَيُّ النَّاسِ فِيهَا شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: «كُلُّ خَطِيبٍ مُصْقِعٍ، وَكُلُّ رَاكِبٍ مُوضِعٍ» ، قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا: أَيُّ النَّاسِ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: «كُلُّ غَنِيٍّ خَفِيٍّ» ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَنَا بِالْغَنِيِّ وَلَا بِالْخَفِيِّ، قَالَ: «فَكُنْ كَابْنِ اللَّبُونِ لَا ظَهْرَ فَيُرْكَبَ، وَلَا ضَرْعَ فَيُحْلَبَ»

Hudhaifa bin Asid (ra): No creature will be made subserviant to him [Dajjal] except a donkey, filth upon flith

[Arabic: Al-Mustadark Ala’ Sahihayn, Vol. 4, pg. 574-575]

Sahih according to Imam Hakim.

It means that the filthy Dajjal will be seated on a filthy donkey. Is not pollution (spread of filth) through modes of transport a big issue in our time? There are always complaints of air pollution through our transport, water pollution etc. The fuel of our transport is considered very filthy.

★ Hadith 4: In-depth donkey description

This hadith possesses some of the most famous and well-known signs of Dajjal’s donkey. It is weak in chain, but its signs have been widely accepted by non-Ahmadis, and its signs are often quoted even today. Moreover it possesses such clear signs as have been fulfilled therefore denying it would be tantamount to foolishness. This same rendering has also been recorded by Shais in Bihar al Anwar. They both have the same signs.

عَنْ عَلِىٍّ: أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ[…] تَحْتَهُ حِمَارٌ أَقْمَرُ ، طُولُ كُلِّ أُذُنٍ مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ ثَلاَثُونَ ذِرَاعًا، مَا بَيْنَ حَافِرِ حِمَارِهِ إِلَى الْحَافِرِ الآخَرِ مَسيَرَةُ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ، تُطْوَى لَهُ الأَرْضُ مَنْهَلًا مَنْهَلًا، يَتَنَاوَلُ السَّحَابَ بيَمينِه، ويَسْبِقُ الشَّمْسَ إِلَى مَغِيبِهَا يَخُوضُ الْبَحْرَ إِلَى كَعْبَيْهِ، أَمَامَهُ جَبَلُ دُخَانٍ، وَخَلْفَهُ جَبَلٌ أَخْضَرُ، يُنَادى بصَوْتٍ لَهُ يُسْمِعُ بِهِ مَا بَيْنَ الْخَافِقَيْنِ: ” إِلَىَّ أَوْلَيَائِى! إِلَىَّ أَولِيَائِى! إِلَىَّ أَحِبَّائِى! إِلىَّ أحِبَّائِى! أَنَا الَّذِى خَلقَ فَسَوَّى، والَّذى قَدَّرَ

On the authority of Ali: He addressed [in sermon] the people […] Underneath him [he Dajjal will be seated upon] a moon-lit donkey (Himar Aqmar). The span of each of its ears is 30 cubits. The distance between the hooves of his donkey amounts to a journey lasting a day and a night. The earth will be stretched out for it, span by span. It shall take hold of the clouds with his right hand. It shall precede the sun to its place of setting, it shall traverse the sea, which will be up to its ankles. In front of it shall be a mountain of smoke, and behind it shall be a green mountain (holding abundance). He shall announce with a voice which shall heard in the two horizens, “[Come] to me, O my friends! [Come] to me, O my friends! [Come] to me, O my beloved ones! [Come] to me, O my beloved ones! I am the One who created and perfected, and the One who determined […]”

[Arabic: Jami‘ al-Jawāmi‘ – Al-Jāmi‘ al-Kabīr, Vol. 17, pg. 769]
[Urdu: Bihar al Anwar Vol 12 pg. 80-86]

Lets analyze it.

This donkey will be ( حِمَارٌ أَقْمَرُ ) meaning a moon-lit donkey which has already been explained.

(طُولُ كُلِّ أُذُنٍ مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ ثَلاَثُونَ ذِرَاعًا) The span of each of his two ears is 30 cubits. This says the ear-span of this donkey will be absolutely huge, and will be 30 cubits. This is clear indication about the wingspan of an airplane, and also the length of railways. It should be noted, notice that 70 cubits is in one hadith, and 30 cubits in this one, and 40 cubits will be in the next one (مَا بَيْنَ أُذُنِي حِمَارِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ ذِرَاعًا). This shows that the span of this “donkey” (airplane or railway) wont be the same but will vary. It may be bigger or smaller than 30, 40, or 70 cubits. So, again, no one can raise the allegation that planes have wingspans larger than 70 cubits, since the ahadith themself vary in the length of the ears.

(مَا بَيْنَ حَافِرِ حِمَارِهِ إِلَى الْحَافِرِ الآخَرِ مَسيَرَةُ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ) The distance between one hoof of his donkey, to another hoof, will be equal to journey of a day and night. The next rendering of this same hadith says, (مَا بَيْنَ حَافِرِهِ إِلَى الْحَافِرِ الْآخَرِ مَسِيرَةُ أَرْبَعِ لَيَالٍ) the distance between one hoof and the other is a four-night journey. This shows that the journeys of this donkey will sometimes last 4 nights, and other times may last a single day and night, just like airplanes. This sentence also says that one hoof (leg) of this enormous donkey to another hoof will be a day and night journey, and surprisingly, a single flight between two airports in aviation is called a flight-leg². This shows the wondrous nature of this prophecy. It literally predicted that airplanes will take off from one airport (one hoof/leg), and land in another aiport (another hoof/leg), and these journeys would take a day and night or 4-nights i.e. the length of these journeys will vary.

( تُطْوَى لَهُ الأَرْضُ مَنْهَلًا مَنْهَلًا) The earth will be stretched out for it (the donkey) span by span. The word span used here is the Arabic, minhal (مَنْهَلً). Meaning the earth will be folded for him, making his journey swift from one minhal, to another minhal. What does minhal mean? A minhal is basically where an animals stops, and refuels themselves by drinking water. Its a stopping point to refresh and re-gain energy. Now this donkey will have multiple minhal (watering points). Its a clear description of train stations, airports, ports etc. Our modern transportations always have to stop on multiple points to refuel themselves. The hadith also conveys that the journeys between one minhal and another minhal (stopping points for this extraordinary donkey) will be very swift. The entire point of our modern transportation is swiftness.

(يَتَنَاوَلُ السَّحَابَ بيَمينِه) He shall take hold of the clouds with his right hand. In the next rendering of this hadith its written, (، يَتَنَاوَلُ السَّمَاءَ بِيَدِهِ) He will told hold of the sky with his right hand. This means that Dajjal will be able to fly and reach the sky, due to this donkey. It also means that the sky will be in the complete control of the Dajjal. This has been fulfilled with the flight of airplanes, and the fact that those countries who have aviation technology, or ballistic technology, have control over their respective skies. Is this not true?

(ويَسْبقُ الشَّمْسَ إِلَى مَغيبهَا) It will precede the sun to its place of setting. This is incredibly wondrous. This donkey will be able to precede the sun to its place of setting, a concept that was impossible before due to the slow pace of travel but is totally possible now. Airplanes travel so fast that they traverse multiple timezones, it becomes difficult to ascertain sunrise and sunset. Even faster are rockets, which can litearlly precede the sun to its place of setting. If a spacecraft were to travel eastward (in the direction of the Earth’s rotation) at a speed faster than the Earth’s rotation, it would “outrun” the setting sun, staying in perpetual daylight.

(يَخُوضُ الْبَحْرَ إِلَى كَعْبَيْهِ) It will wade through the sea which shall be up to its ankles. So this magnificent donkey wont just be flying, it will also traverse the seas which will be up to its ankles. The next sign says that it will have mountain of smoke in front of it, and mountain of abundance behind it. Now which thing travels extremely fast in the sea, is 30, 40, and even 70 cubits long, and holds huge mountains of abudance on its back? Its talking about cargo ships and other sea faring transportation. Which litearlly looks like they carry mountains of abundance on their backs.

(أَمَامَهُ جَبَلْ دُخَانٍ ، وَخَلَفَهُ جَبَلْ أَخْضَرُ) In front of it, is a mountain of smoke, and behind it is a green mountain [i.e. mountain of abundance]. This is self explanatory. All of our modes of transport produce smoke, and all of them carry mountains of abundance on their backs. Especially cargo ships, which is prophesied in the hadith right before this sentence. At this point these prophecies are getting a little too accurate don’t you think!

( يُنَادى بصَوْتٍ لَهُ يُسْمِعُ بِهِ مَا بَيْنَ الْخَافِقَيْنِ: ” إِلَىَّ أَوْلَيَائِى! إِلَىَّ أَولِيَائِى! إِلَىَّ أَحِبَّائِى!) He shall announce with a voice which shall heard in the two horizens, “[Come] to me, O my friends! [Come] to me, O my friends! [Come] to me, O my beloved ones!. So this magnificent donkey, before taking off, Dajjal will annouce on it extremely loudly to come to him and the donkey. So this donkey will annouce its arrival and take off! Is it not true that all of our modes of transports in every station (railway station), airports etc. annouce their arrivals and take off! Before moving annoucements are made for passengers to get on.

Then the hadith goes on to explain how Dajjal will claim to be God. This is perhaps an explaination of athiestic views of these nations which do not believe in God, and think they hold every power there is. All these advances in transportation and techonology have led them to think this way.

Hadith 4.1

This is another rendering of the above comprehensive hadith,

خَطَبَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ[…]خْرُجُ مِنْ يَهُودِيَّةِ أَصْبَهَانَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ أَبْتَرَ مَا بَيْنَ أُذُنِي حِمَارِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ ذِرَاعًا، مَا بَيْنَ حَافِرِهِ إِلَى الْحَافِرِ الْآخَرِ مَسِيرَةُ أَرْبَعِ لَيَالٍ، تُطْوَى لَهُ الْأَرْضُ مَنْهَلًا مَنْهَلًا، يَتَنَاوَلُ السَّمَاءَ بِيَدِهِ، أَمَامَهُ جَبَلٌ مِنْ دُخَانٍ وَخَلْفَهُ جَبَلٌ آخَرُ

Ali bin Abi Talib (ra) did a sermon on the minbar: […] He will emerge from the Jewish region of Isfahan, riding a slit donkey. The distance between the ears of his donkey is forty cubits, and the distance between one hoof and the other is a four-night journey. The earth will be folded for him, making his journey swift from one watering place to another. He will reach the sky with his hand, with a mountain of smoke before him and another behind him.

[Arabic: Al-Sunan al-Wārida fī al-Fitan li al-Dānī. Vol 6, pg. 1196]

Many amazing signs have been mentioned in this hadith, lets analyze all of them. This narration says that Dajjal’s donkey will be a donkey that does not have any progeny (حِمَارٍ أَبْتَرَ) or the word `Abtar, after, Himar (donkey), means tailess. This shows that this donkey is not an actual donkey as actual donkeys can reproduce and have tails, it says that this extraordinary donkey cannot reproduce and/or does not have a tail. Our modes of transport, transport us from place to place like actual riding animals, however, our modern modes of transport do not reproduce, they are `abtar (no progeny), and they are also `abtar since obviously our transportations have no tails like riding animals. This word seems to establish that this enormous and wondrous “donkey” that Dajjal will have will absolutely not be like a regular everyday donkey. We make our modes of transport again and again. Our modes of transport dont reproduce and have progeny like the riding animals of the past.

(مَا بَيْنَ أُذُنِي حِمَارِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ ذِرَاعًا) Between the ears of his donkey is 40 cubits. This has already been explained

(مَا بَيْنَ حَافِرِهِ إِلَى الْحَافِرِ الْآخَرِ مَسِيرَةُ أَرْبَعِ لَيَالٍ) and the distance between one hoof and the other is a four-night journey. This has already been explained.

(تُطْوَى لَهُ الْأَرْضُ مَنْهَلًا مَنْهَلًا) The earth will be folded for him, making his journey swift from one minhal, to another minhal. This has already been explained.

( يَتَنَاوَلُ السَّمَاءَ بِيَدِهِ) He will reach the sky with his right hand. This shows the donkey can fly allowing Dajjal to reach the sky (السَّمَاءَ).

( أَمَامَهُ جَبَلٌ مِنْ دُخَانٍ وَخَلْفَهُ جَبَلٌ آخَرُ) In front of him is a mountain of smoke, and behind him another mountain. This is self explanatory. This amazing donkey will have smoke being produced from it, that will be in front of it. Behind this donkey will be another mountain, other ahadith in this article show that this other mountain is actually a “mountain of abundace”, meaning it will carry mountains of food and resources behind it. This is exactly what all our forms of modern transportation do, all of them carry mountains of resources and abundance behind them on their backs. This has also already been explained

Hadith 4.2

١٥٢٧ – حدثنا أبو عمر عن ابن لهيعة، عن عبد الوهاب بن حسين، عن محمد بن ثابت، عن أبيه، عن الحارث عن عبد الله عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال بين أذني حمار الدجال أربعون ذراعا وخطوة حماره مسيرة ثلاثة أيام يخوض البحر على حماره كما يخوض أحدكم الساقية على فرسه

It was narrated to us by Nuʿaym, who said: Abū ʿUmar narrated to us, from Ibn Lahīʿah, from ʿAbdul-Wahhāb bin Ḥusayn, from Muḥammad bin Thābit, from his father, from Al-Ḥārith, from ʿAbdullāh, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: “Between the ears of the Dajjāl’s donkey is a distance of forty cubits, and the stride of his donkey covers the journey of three days. He will traverse the sea on his donkey as one of you crosses a small stream on his horse.”

[Arabic: Kitab ul Fitn, Vol. 2, pg. 541-542]

Here, the Holy Prophet (saw) says the news about the earspan being 40 cubits as has been explained multiple times.

Then he (saw) conveys ( وخطوة حماره مسيرة ثلاثة أيام) And the stride of his donkey covers the journey of three days. In the first rendering it said a day and night journey, the second rendering said 4-nights journey, and this rendering says 3 day journey. This shows that Dajjal’s donkey will have journeys that vary in their lengths. Just like how our modern modes of transport vary in their journey lengths. Cargo ships may take longer to get to one place, than to another. Even still, a journey lasting one day, 4 nights, or 3 days, to travel the whole Earth was impossible at the time of the Arabs 1400 years ago, this has only been made possible with modern transport!

The the hadith says, (يخوض البحر على حماره كما يخوض أحدكم الساقية على فرسه) He crosses the ocean on his donkey as one of you crosses a stream on his horse. So crossing the sea will be so easy for this donkey as the Arabs crossed a small stream on their horses. Is it not true that our sea-faring transport, ships etc. travel the sea extremely easily!? Interestingly, the fastest U.S ship that crossed the Atlantic ocean took 3 days, 10 hours, and 40 minutes. This ship called the SS United States, holds the record to this day.

★ Hadith 5: Carrying alot of passengers

عن كعب الأحبار[…] ويخرج على حمار وهو يتناول السحاب بيده ويخوض البحر إلى كعبيه ويستظل في أذن حماره خلق كثير

Ka’b al Ahbar: “And it will come out riding a donkey, reaching out to the clouds with its hand and wading through the sea up to its ankles. Sheltered/shaded in the ear of the donkey will be large number of people/creation”

[Arabic: Fayd al-Qadīr, Vol. 3, pg. 537]

Hazrat Ka’b al Ahbar is known to relate alot of narrations from the Children of Israel (Israeliyyat), however the subject matter of this narration is exactly in line with the Ahadith of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and similar signs with some differences and details have been mentioned, so we can take it.

This hadith says previously mentioned signs about controlling/reaching the clouds with his right hand, and wading through the seas up to its ankles.

(ويستظل في أذن حماره خلق كثير) This hadith mentions an important and extremely useful sign which is that this donkey will not just be limited to the transport of Dajjal, infact a large number of people/creation will be shaded/protected under the “ears of this donkey”, meaning to say in its travels this donkey will be carring a large number of people/creation. Passengers can use this extraordinary donkey.

Hadith 6: Carrying thousands of passengers

١٥٣٩ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، وَوَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ حَوْطٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أُذُنُ حِمَارِ الدَّجَّالِ تُظِلُّ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا

١٥٤٠ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ الزَّرَّادِ، عَنْ حَوْطٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «يَسْتَظِلُّ فِي ظِلِّ أُذُنِ حِمَارِ الدَّجَّالِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا

١٥٤١ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ حَوْطٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «أُذُنُ حِمَارِ الدَّجَّالِ تُظِلُّ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا

1539 – It was narrated to us by ʿAbdah and Wakīʿ, from Misʿar, from ʿAbdul-Malik bin Maysarah, from Ḥawṭ al-ʿAbdī, from ʿAbdullāh, who said: “The ear of the Dajjāl’s donkey will provide shade/sheltered security for seventy thousand people.”

1540 – It was narrated to us by ʿAbdur-Razzāq, from Sufyān, from al-Aʿmash, from ʿAbdul-Malik bin Maysarah az-Zarrād, from Ḥawṭ al-ʿAbdī, from ʿAbdullāh, who said: “Seventy thousand people will take shelter in the shade of the Dajjāl’s donkey’s ear.”

1541 – It was narrated to us by Muḥammad bin Jaʿfar, from Shuʿbah, from ʿAbdul-Malik bin Maysarah, from Ḥawṭ, from ʿAbdullāh, who said: “The ear of the Dajjāl’s donkey will provide shade for seventy thousand people.”

[Arabic: Kitab ul Fitn, Vol. 2, pg. 548]

This hadith clearly conveys that Dajjal’s donkey will not just be a mode of transport for Dajjal himself rather thousands of people will be able to be passengers on this donkey, and ride it. This hadith uses the word (يَسْتَظِلُّ) meaning, the donkey will shelter thousands of people under its ears. This is conveying how inside and under our modern modes of transport thousands of people can sit inside in the shade of the vehicle and are protected therein. The next rendering says thousands of Jews, however this one says thousnads of people in general. From this we can deduce that not only Jews will be riding Dajjal’s vehicle, rather any body in general will be able to ride on it.

وعن حذيفة رضي الله عنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في قصة فتح القسطنطينية وغيرها: […]يركب حماراً أبتر، بين أذنيه أربعون ذراعاً، يستظل تحت أذنيه سبعون ألفاً من اليهود عليهم التيجان، فإذا كان يوم الجمعة من صلاة الغداة، وقد أقيمت الصلاة، فالتفت المهدي، فإذا هو بعيسى ابن مريم، قد نزل من السماء في ثوبين، كأنما يقطر من رأسه الماء 

“And from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), who narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in the story of the conquest of Constantinople and others: […] He will ride a donkey with a broken tail (or donkey without progeny), and between its ears, there will be a span of forty cubits. Seventy thousand Jews, wearing crowns, will seek shade under its ears. When it is Friday, after the Fajr prayer has been established, the Mahdi will turn around, and then he will see Jesus (the son of Mary) descending from the sky in two garments, as if water is dripping from his head.'”

[Arabic: ‘Aqd al-Durar fi Akhbar al-Muntazir, pg. 332]

Himar Abtar has already been explained.

This hadith also says that under the protected ears of the donkey, during its travels 70, 000 Jews will be be there.

( بين أذنيه أربعون ذراعاً، يستظل تحت أذنيه سبعون ألفاً من اليهود عليهم التيجان) Between its ears, there will be a span of forty cubits. Seventy thousand Jews, wearing crowns, will seek shade under its ears. This is not to mean only Jews will ride this donkey, as in some Ahadith its said Muslims will one day become exactly like Jews etc. As explained the first rendering doesn’t specify Jews but all people in general will ride on Dajjal’s donkey under its plane-like “ears”.

This renderin then says that Jesus (as) will descend from the sky and the Mahdi will come, this has already been explained in other articles regarding descent of Isa (as). From the Holy Quran Jesus (as) has died, therefore this descent and coming of the Mahdi is in regards to an Ummati (follower of Islam) who will achieve the same status as Jesus (as) and will be the Messiah of Muslims. This has been explained in many of our other articles. The fact that this hadith says “from the sky” proves nothing as this rendering seems to be weak in chain.

Hadith 7: Transport of fire

This hadith is not in regards to any Dajjal donkey, some Ahadith in this article directly prophecy modern forms of transportation without mention of Dajjal and a donkey, therefore this hadith is one of them.

١٥٦٥٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ هُوَ أَبُو بِسْرٍ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ” يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ نَارٌ مِنْ حُبْسِ سَيَلٍ، تَسِيرُ سَيْرَ (١) بَطِيئَةِ الْإِبِلِ، تَسِيرُ النَّهَارَ وَتُقِيمُ اللَّيْلَ، تَغْدُو وَتَرُوحُ، يُقَالُ: غَدَتِ النَّارُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَاغْدُوا، قَالَتِ النَّارُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَأَقِيلُوا (٢) ، رَاحَتِ النَّارُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، فَرُوحُوا. مَنْ أَدْرَكَتْهُ أَكَلَتْهُ ” (٣)

Narrated by Uthman bin Umar, he said: ‘Abdul Hamid bin Ja’far narrated to us, he said: ‘Muhammad bin Ali Abu Ja’far narrated to us from Rafi’ bin Bishr (Abu Bisr al-Sulami) from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Soon a fire will emerge from a reservoir of water, moving at the pace of slow camels. It will travel during the day and halt at night. It will depart/set off in the morning and return in the evening. It will be said: ‘The fire has risen, O people, rise!’ When the evening comes, it will be said: ‘The fire has stopped, O people, rest!’ Whoever it overtaken by it will be eaten by it.”

[Musnad Ahmad 15658]

Now this is such a magnificently fulfilled prophecy, the like of which is impossible to refute. It says first that (يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ نَارٌ مِنْ حُبْسِ سَيَلٍ) Very soon a fire will emerge from the trapping or confinement of water. This is litearlly clearly a description of steam engine. One does not even need to explain it. Then it says this will (تَسِيرُ سَيْرَ بَطِيئَةِ الْإِبِلِ) it (the fire) will move at the slow pace of camels. This is talking about how steam engine and how trains made of it used to move in the 20th century. Then the hadith says (تَسِيرُ النَّهَارَ وَتُقِيمُ اللَّيْلَ), it will travel during the day and halt at night. This is clearly referring to the moving of trains in the morning and their halting at night. Then it says further! ( تَغْدُو وَتَرُوحُ) It will depart/set off [in the morning] and return [in the evening] giving even more of a description of trains in the 20th century! Furtherstill it goes on to say ( يُقَالُ: غَدَتِ النَّارُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَاغْدُوا) it will be said the fire has risen, O people rise. Meaning when the train comes, O people, rise up and get on. Then the hadith says ( رَاحَتِ النَّارُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، فَرُوحُوا) The fire has stopped O people, so halt and rest. Referring to trains stopping and people aboard halting and resting with it. Then it says ( مَنْ أَدْرَكَتْهُ أَكَلَتْهُ) whoever it overtaken by it will be eaten by it, meaning whoever this fire or steam engine powered transport reaches, when the people will get on, its looks like the train has eaten the person and then the fire i.e. the train carries the person place to place.

We are not concerned with the chain of this hadith, but the clear fulfilment of its prophecy is what we are currently concerned with.

★ Hadith 8: Modern transport resembling saddles

This hadith is extremely clear, and on top of that Sahih. It does not speak about Dajjal’s donkey or Dajjal, rather its a direct prophecy about cars and other trasnport and about Muslims using it in the End Times.

٧٠٨٣ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الْقِتْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عِيسَى بْنَ هِلَالٍ الصَّدَفِيَّ، وَأَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيَّ، يَقُولَانِ: سَمِعْنَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ” سَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ أُمَّتِي رِجَالٌ يَرْكَبُونَ عَلَى سُرُوجٍ، كَأَشْبَاهِ الرِّحَالِ، يَنْزِلُونَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ ، نِسَاؤُهُمْ كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ، عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ كَأَسْنِمَةِ الْبُخْتِ الْعِجَافِ، الْعَنُوهُنَّ، فَإِنَّهُنَّ مَلْعُونَاتٌ، لَوْ كَانَتْ وَرَاءَكُمْ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَخَدَمْنَ نِسَاؤُكُمْ نِسَاءَهُمْ، كَمَا يَخْدِمْنَكُمْ نِسَاءُ الْأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ

“It was told to us by ʿAbdullāh bin Yazīd, who said: ʿAbdullāh bin ʿAyāsh bin ʿAbbās Al-Qutbānī (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard my father say: I heard ʿĪsā bin Hilāl As-Sadāfī (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abū ʿAbdur-Raḥmān Al-Ḥubalī (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: We heard ʿAbdullāh bin ʿAmr (may Allah be pleased with him) say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: “In the last [part] of my nation there will be men who ride on saddles resembling those of camels..  They will alight at the doors of the mosques.  Their women are clothed but naked.  On their heads are [what appears to be] like the humps of [lean] camels.  Curse them for they are cursed.  If there were a nation from the nations to come after you, your women would serve them, just as the women of the nations that were before you served you.”

[Arabic: Musnad Ahmad 7083]

These saddles are not camel saddles literally, but the hadith says they rememble them. Behold this is what a camel saddle looks like, and its put into comparison with a car seat. This hadith is authentic, and has even been attested by Sunnis to refer to cars.

It may also refer to different types of saddles and how our modern modes of transport relate to it. If one looks at other camel saddles like the following, they can see that they look similar to motorcycle seats. In short it seems that different types of camel saddles resemeble different types of seats in our modes of transport!

The U shaped camel saddle looks like the motorcycle and bike seats. Its amazing what connections you can make!

Conclusion

Let us summarize all the signs about transport we have collected above:

• At the time of the Messiah (as) and Dajjal in the Latter Days camels would be abandoned for travel according to the Holy Quran
• Allah Almighty says in Holy Quran He will create another form of transport that is different to riding animals like camels and donkeys in the End Times, so Dajjal’s donkey in End Times must be a metaphorical donkey
• The length of the journeys of this “donkey” will vary, sometimes it will take a week, sometimes a month, sometimes a day, or sometimes years
• This donkey will carry mountains of resources/abundance on its back
• The donkey will be able to fly and reach the speed of wind i.e. will be like a cloud driven by wind
• The donkey will have moon-like lights all over it.
• On the inside it will be lit with moon-like lights for the people inside
• On the outside it will have moon-like lights
• The donkey will be shining pure white like the moon
• The ear-span of the donkey will be 70 cubits, 40 cubits, or 30 cubits. The earspan of this huge donkey will vary.
• The donkey will be able to travel to any town it likes all over the world extremely fast
• The donkey will be very filthy, or perhaps it will produce filth
• The donkey will take off and land in another place.
• The distance between one hoof to another hoof (length of travel) will be a day or night, 4-nights, or 3 days i.e. the journeys on this donkey will vary, it will take off and land (flight-leg in aviation)
• The donkey will travel to earth from one minhal to another minhal meaning, it will have multiple ports to refuel, refresh, gain energy and then continue its journeys all over the earth. It will have to keep stopping at these ports to refresh and refuel.
• Dajjal on his donkey will have the ability to fly and complete control over the sky (airspace)
• The donkey will have such velocities that it will be able to precede the sun to its place of setting i.e. the rockets/planes in modern age
• The donkey will not just be able to fly, and have control over the skies, but the Donkey will also have sea-faring abilities, it will able to carry mountains of resources while the ocean is up to its “ankles”
• In front of this donkey will be a mountain of smoke, i.e. the donkey will produce a whole lot of smoke
• Before taking off, the Dajjal on his donkey will call people to “Come to it” i.e. annoucing to invite passengers aboard
• This donkey will not be like regular donkeys. It will not be able to reproduce at all. It’s ‘Abtar.
• It is ‘Abtar in another sense too as it will have no tail like regular donkeys i.e. it’s clearly a metaphorical donkey
• The donkey will be able to cross the ocean very easily
• The donkey will shelter/carry in shade a large number of passengers
• The donkey will be able to carry thousands of passengers
• In the future Muslims will see a mode of transport that will gain fire/energy by trapping a resevoir of water (steam-engine)
• This “fire” will carry people inside it, it will annouce its departures, and returns, and travels for all people to hear so that the people can halt or go into it to go along with this “fire”
• The Muslims in the end times will come to the Mosques in transport that will resemble camel saddles, so this modern mode of transport will look like seats and/or have seats

Decide for yourself what these signs apply to. Which nation invented this mode of transport (donkey) to ride on it? It was the Europeans. So who is the Dajjal? Certainly the Dajjal is not a person rather its a nation who invented these modes of transport.
