“Take a look at history, you will see that His Holiness the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was that orphan whose father died a few days after his birth, and whose mother died leaving behind an infant son who was only a few months old.”

This scan is from Ruhani Khaza’in, Volume 23, Paigham-e-Sulh, page 465.

The highlighted Urdu passage contains Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani’s statement about the early life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The highlighted section says that the Prophet ﷺ was an orphan whose father died only a few days after his birth, and whose mother died while leaving behind an infant son who was only a few months old.

The issue being raised is that this statement conflicts with the well-known seerah account that the Prophet’s father, Abdullah, died before his birth, and that his mother, Aminah, died when the Prophet ﷺ was around six years old, not when he was only a few months old.

Why do you think the Qadianis did not believe this information provided by Fathel Qadian, or do they not believe the news received by their alleged prophet as is their custom?!

It seems clear that the second Caliph ignored the inspirations of his father, who was afflicted with hypochondria (obsessive-compulsive disorder).

This scan shows the cover of the Arabic book The Life of Muhammad and page 7 of the same work. The book is attributed to Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad, the second Qadiani Caliph.

The highlighted Arabic passage says that in the sixth year of the Prophet’s ﷺ life, his mother took him to Madinah to visit his maternal relatives. During the return journey to Makkah, they stopped at Abwa, where Aminah, the mother of the Prophet ﷺ, died. The passage then says that Umm Ayman brought the Prophet ﷺ back to his grandfather Abdul Muttalib.

This scan directly contradicts the earlier statement attributed to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. Mirza said that the Prophet’s ﷺ mother died when he was only a few months old, while the second Qadiani Caliph’s own book states that Aminah died when the Prophet ﷺ was six years old.

• Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani claimed that the Prophet’s ﷺ mother died when he was only a few months old.
• The second Qadiani Caliph’s own book states that the Prophet’s ﷺ mother died when he was six years old.

So the question remains:

Did Mirza Qadiani know basic seerah, or did his own followers later reject his information?
