A Muslim Convert Once Before

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ A preacher in an Amritsar mosque claimed that he was more learned than Imam Abu Hanifah Nu’man ibn Tsabit ( r.a. ) because he remembered more ahadits .  This fact was brought to the attention of Mawlana ‘Abd al-Jabbar al-Ghaznawi ( r.a. ), who was his teacher.  Mawlana ‘Abd al-Jabbar ( r.a. ) rusticated the offender from his school, and predicted that he would become an apostate.  After a week, he became a follower of the deviant, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.  Someone later asked Mawlana ‘Abd al-Jabbar ( r.a. ), how he knew that that this man, called ‘Abd al-‘Ali would apostatise, he replied. “I was reminded of a hadits , from Swahih al-Bukhari , which Allah ( s.w.t. ) states, ‘I Declare war on the enemies of my friends.’”

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ Once, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad al-Qadiyani paid a visit to Sayyid Hassan Shah al-Qadri al-Batalwi ( q.s. ).  He advised in these words: “Be steadfast to the faith of the Ahl as-Sunnah and do not be a slave to Satan and your desires.”   After Mirza Ghulam left, one of the disciples of Sayyid Hassan Shah ( q.s. ) asked him, “You have given some very strange advise to this fellow.  What is the reason?”   He replied, “In time, this man’s mind will turn, and he will claim prophethood.  Even now, Satan is leading him.”   Thirty-six years after the foretelling, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad al-Qadiyani falsely claimed prophethood.
