Muslims should rejoice that the era of the second rejuvenation of Islam has arrived” – Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad

(Given below are the few extracts from the address of Ahmadiyya Khalifa, related to the fulfilment of Latter Days Prophecies, delivered at Concluding Session of the last month Qadian Convention.)

His Holiness mentioned numerous prophecies relating to the latter days and the advent of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him). One of the prophecies quoted by His Holiness was in relation to chapter 73, verse 16 of the Holy Qur’an, which states:

Verily, We have sent to you a Messenger, who is a witness over you, even as We sent a Messenger to Pharaoh.”

His Holiness mentioned that the verse contained two prophecies whereby the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was to be a prophet with certain likeness to the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). Just as Moses (peace be upon him) overcame his enemies during his lifetime, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings) was also granted victories in his lifetime.

The second prophecy contained in the verse related to the latter days. Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad quoted the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (peace be upon him) who stated:

The similarity relating to the Latter Days is that God Almighty sent a Prophet in the last days of the Mosaic dispensation, who was against violence, had nothing to do with religious warfare, and preached forgiveness and mercy, and Jesus (peace be upon him) had appeared at a time when the moral condition of the Israelites had badly deteriorated and their character and conduct were thoroughly corrupted. They had also lost their kingdom and lived under the dominion of the Roman Empire. Jesus (peace be upon him) had appeared at the turn of the fourteenth century after Moses (peace be upon him), and since the chain of the Israelite Prophets came to an end with him, he was as such, the last link in the Israelite Prophethood.”

Thereafter, Ahmadiyya Khalifa referenced a chain of verses from chapter 81 of the Holy Qurán:

Speaking of chapter 81, verse 11 which states, And when books are spread abroad,” His Holiness said this tells us of the time when means would become established to publish books in large numbers, which referred to the printing presses and postal services and how they would become abundant so that books are published, and knowledge is spread more widely than ever before in history.

His Holiness also referred to chapter 81, verse 8 which states, And when people are brought together.”

In relation to this prophecy, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad quoted the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (peace be upon him) who said:

This prophecy refers to the increased interconnection that was to develop between nations of the world. It means that in the latter days, because of the transportation infrastructure improving and because of the postal and electrical means of communication, humanity would have far greater means of contact. Countries will be able to connect with one another and people would make relations with one another despite living at large distances and there would be trade pacts and contact with people from around the world that will expand.”

Referring to the developments seen in the past few decades, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:

TV and internet, air travel and other facilities are continuous proof of the fulfilment of this prophecy. The fact that people have come together today in Qadian (birth-place of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad) is proof of this. The fact is that the message of Islam as a result of preaching the message of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) is also proof of this prophecy coming true.”

Speaking of the truth of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:

The people that have gathered here today in Qadian and the fact that around the world people are viewing and listening to this Convention (Jalsa Salana), are they not a proof of the support that Allah the Almighty is granting to the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him)?

Does a person who makes a false claim to Prophethood ever receive this fame, whereby slogans of his name are raised around the world?

134 years have passed and every day that rises, it carries with it the news of the progress of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Those who oppose the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, take heed!” 

His Holiness mentioned that countless signs are still being fulfilled and that many people are being guided to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, adding that Ahmadi Muslims are being spiritually uplifted by the fulfilment of these signs.

His Holiness emphasized the need for Muslims to rejoice as this is the era for the second rejuvenation of Islam.
