The
Holy Prophet SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam has narrated almost one
hundred and eighty signs of Hazrat Isa Alaih-i-Salam
and Hazrat Mehdi (Alaih-i-Rizwan).
Continuity of Ahadith prove their appearance. Allama Shakani (Rahmatullah
Alaih) writes in this connection:
“It
is proved now that the Ahadith concerning the expected Mehdi are
‘Matwater’ and the Ahadith concerning Hazrat Isa Alaih-i-Salam are also
‘Matwater.”
And
Hafiz Asqalani (Rahmatullah Alaih) has written in Manaqeb Shafe that
‘Matwater Ahadith’ appear regarding this that Mehdi will be from
this Ummah and that Isa Alaih-i-Salam
will say prayer behind Mehdi (Alaih-i-Rizwan).
Abu Al Hasan Khase has mentioned this to nullify the Hadith to which Ibne Maja
has quoted with reference to Hazrat Ans (Razi
Allah-o-Anho), which says that Hazrat Isa Alaih-i-Salam himself will be Mehdi.”
(Fathal Bari, v.6, p.358)
One
of the Ahadith to which Hafiz Asqalani (Rahmatullah Alaih) has referred to is
as follows: “Hazrat Jabar Abdullah (Razi
Allah-o-Anho) relates that he heard God’s Messenger
The
Hadith proves that Mahdi (Alaih-i-Rizwan)
and Christ will be two different personalities. The Hadith also proves
God’s special blessing to this Ummah that even near the time of the day
of Judgement there will be holymen and Hazrat Isa Alaih-i-Salam, God’s Messenger, will say prayer behind the
man from this Ummah. It shows that group, among the Muslims, will always remain
piety. The same thing happened earlier when the Holy Prophet SallAllah-o-Alaihi
Wa Aalihi Wasallam was suffering from mortal disease, He
Mirza
Qadiani himself accepts that Christ, Mehdi and Dajjal, the cursed, are three
persons:
“So,
I had to accept that the promised Christ, Mehdi and Dajjad will appear in the
East.” (Tohfa
Goledia, p.47. Khazain, v.17, p.16)
The Qadiani point of view
The
Qadianies are deprived of faith. They believe that Christ and Mehdi are the one
and the same personality, and that is Mirza Qadiani. The fact is that these two
are two different personalities. Their names, work, place of birth, place of
appearance. Duration of stay, age etc. can be traced in Ahadith. But the
Qadianies did not pay heed to hundreds of such ‘Sahey’ Ahadith.
Instead they are trying to prove their false faith with the help of a false and
concocted traditions. Mirza said:
(Khutba Ilhamia; Khazain, v.16, p.61) “O people! I am the
‘Messiah in Muhammad’a SallAllah-o-
Qazi Muhammad Nazeer Qadiani writes: “I am Mehdi
and the promised Christ are the one and the same personality.” (Imam Mehdi Ka Zahor, p.16)
A misconception:
The
Qadianies present tradition from Ibn-e-Majja as on argument. 
(Ibn-e-Majja, p.292)
“There is no Mehdi except the Christ, son of
Mary.”
Qazi Muhammad Nazeer writes about the Hadith:
“The Hadith has made it clear that only Christ,
the son of Mary, is Mehdi and that there is no Mehdi except him.”
The
Hadith is poor. Moreover, it has not the meaning as is understood by the
Qadianies. Mulla Ali Qari (Rahmatullah Alaih) says:
“The Hadith, 
is ‘Zaeef’ (poor)
by the common consensus of the ‘Muhadeseen’. Ibn Jerry has
explained it. Moreover, it belongs to the category of 
(Marfatah, v.10, p.183)
so
it is wrong to think that Mehdi and Christ are one personality. Mirza Qadiani
himself gives a principle:
“When
almost all the ‘Ahadith’ are in keeping with the Holy
Quran…… if exceptionally a Hadith is contrary to the clear verses
of the Holy Quran, we will either exclude the Hadith or there will be need to
reinterpret it. It is impossible to have a ‘Zaeef’ Hadith and
ignore the clear verses of the Quran (to destroy the whole building made of
clear verses of the Holy Quran and Ahadith.” (Azala Oham, pp.225, 226)
Keeping
in mind this principle, the tradition in Ibn Maja has no importance.
‘Sahey Matwatra Ahadith’ make it clear that Hazrat Isa Alaih-i-Salam will descend from sky or
heaven and not that he will take birth in the world. While about Mehdi (Alaih-i-Rizwan)
Ahadith say:
1-
(Abu Dawood, v.2,
p.131)
“The Holy Prophet said:
‘Mehdi will be from my progeny, i.e. from the lineage of Fatima Razi
Allah-o-Anha”
2-
(Abu Dawood , v.2, p.)
“His name will be similar to that of mine and his father’s name will be similar to that of my father”
And the
following Hadith made the matter clear
(Mishqat,
p.573)
“How can the Ummah fall that
has me (Hazrat Muhammad SallAllah-o-Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wasallam
in the beginning, Mehdi in the middle and Christ in the end.” It is strange
that the Qadianies could not see so much clear cut Ahadith. Their point of view
is based solely on falsehood. There are separate traditions concerning the two
personalities but they are blind to these traditions.
Dajjal
About
Dajjal they continuously change their opinion. In the beginning Mirza Qadiani
said that Dajjal would be a ‘padri’ (Priest). Objection arose on
it. A tradition is presented as an objection. ‘Hazrat Aisha Razi
Allah-o-Anha relates that once she was weeping and the Holy Prophet SallAllah-o-Alaihi
Wa Aalihi Wasallam came at that time. He
1- The
priests were present in Holy Prophet’s
2- Then
Mirza said that Dajjal stands for the British people. He was asked that if the
British are Dajjal and the Dajjad will be killed by Christ while you are
planted by the British.’
3- After it, Mirza said that Dajjad
stands for
