		<description><![CDATA[at Mr. Aziz 

MGAQ was so contradictory that it is hard to understand his doctrines.  In terms of the fire, whether Ibrahim (as) was thrown into it or not, MGAQ appears to give the same type of circumlocution based answers.  

The moral of the story is MGAQ was a quack-job, he was totally nuts.  That is the underlying truth.   In the same sense, I have asked Mr. Aziz to answer many of my questions which he has carefully avoided.  Instead, he focuses on technicalities and looks to use counter-arguments in this area.

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The following is what Hazrat Mirza sahib wrote about the fire:

&quot;It is established that the Holy Prophet had the same nature as Abraham. Just as Abraham, for the love of Tauheed, got himself placed in the fire and then was saved by the voice of &quot;O fire, be coolness and peace&quot;, similarly our Holy Prophet, for the love of Tauheed, got himself placed in the fire of that persecution which, after his coming, arose all over the world&quot; (Tiryaq-ul-Qulub, p. 155).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;When a believer wishes to be a true believer, tribulations come upon him till he thinks he is going to die. Then the mercy of Allah comes into action and the order is given: O fire, be coolness and peace.&quot; (Al-Hakam, December 1902).

Which fires are these, that the Holy Prophet and a believer faces?

Zafrullah hasn&#039;t given any reference to Hazrat Mirza sahib&#039;s words, but in an extract which is similar to the one in his book, it is stated:

&quot;Let any opponent try, and start a fire and place me in it. The fire will not work and Allah will save me according to His promise. But this does not mean that I should myself jump into a fire. God says: Do not destroy yourselves by your own hands. I do not enter fire deliberately. It is a promise of protection against the enemies that if they try to burn me in fire I will not burn.&quot; (Badr, December 1903)

He is talking about &lt;strong&gt;his opponents, &lt;/strong&gt;not about us or Maulana Nur-ud-Din nor asking the Maulana to put him in a fire as a test!

In the extracts from the book &quot;Nur-ud-Din&quot; referred to by Zafrullah, the Maulana constantly mentions &quot;opposition&quot; as fire. And, as I quoted above, he writes that Allah will safeguard him as He safeguarded Abraham and our Holy Prophet&quot;. Zafrullah stops at &quot;Abraham&quot;.

Bilal writes: &quot;Why does it matter if Nur al Din changed his position?  WHAT ???&quot;

I wrote this about the birth of Jesus: &quot;Why does it matter to you...&quot;

If he changed his position about the birth of Jesus then according to you that is an improvement and he got nearer to Islam! Strange that a person who is further away from Islam about the birth of Jesus is, according to you, brought closer to true Islam by Hazrat Mirza sahib!&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr Aziz 

It appears that I am the most action this blog has had in years.  My viewpoint must be tremendous for the 6-7 bloggers here.  lol.  

Zafrullah presented this information in a much different way than you are.  That is a problem in itself.  Then, you are pulling the technicalities out of the statement of Nur ud Din.  Stop it, stop behaving in this manner.  Deal with the issues, not the minor inconsistencies therein.  

Then you quote only a portion of the passage:  

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Those who are unable to comprehend how the fire was cooled for Abrahamas are welcome to throw me into the fire and see whether I emerge safe from it or not.&quot;  
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
This is the whole sentence.  MGAQ was talking about YOU.  YOU and Ikram are unable to comprehend.  Your own leader disagrees with you on this entire topic.  And you guys called me the LIAR????  Are you kidding?  

Why does it matter if Nur al Din changed his position?  WHAT ???  This is paramount to the discussion.  We must establish facts that find conclusions based on facts.  You might not know how to do that.  

You must wonder...did I know ahead of time about the fire???  Did I set you guys up for failure??  Maybe I did...I warned you...im really smart.  lol. 

&lt;hr&gt;

@ Ikram 

You must think....did Bilal set me up???  Did Bilal know of what MGAQ had written about the fire before hand???  i warned you guys.  Im not the Ulema of india.  Im that new-age boy.  I have the internet at my disposal, they didnt!!!!!!  

Why dont you search the books of your founder and tell me what he wrote in terms of the fire.  

And also, I hypothesize that Malik Ghulam Fareed/Mahmud Ahmad copied Muhammad Ali&#039;s Quran in this case, any many others.

		<description><![CDATA[Fire and Abraham:

Immediately after &quot;as he had safeguarded Abraham (as)&quot;, Maulana Nur-ud-Din says in that reference: &quot;and our Holy Prophet (saw)&quot;. 

From which fire was the Holy Prophet guarded and how? Then he goes on to write that the non-Muslim opponents of Mirza sahib started fires against him, the Muslim opponents started different types of fires but all were disappointed. Which fire is he talking about here?

Your quote from Zafrullah says: &quot;are welcome to throw me into the fire&quot;. Maulana Nur-ud-Din writes in that reference: &quot;Abraham did not himself jump into the fire, nor do the believers or righteous or prophets themselves test Allah. They are commanded not to destroy themselves. ... You foolishly say that he (HMGA) should himself enter into fire. Is this obedience to the example of prophets and messengers? The Quran says: Throw him. So you give this command to your followers and forces&quot;.

Birth of Jesus:

Why does it matter to you whether M. Nur-ud-Din sahib changed his view or not? In either case he remains a kafir according to you. If he didn&#039;t change, as we say (i.e. continued believing Jesus had a father), he is an even worse kafir according to you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
Bilal: Your approach towards these silly issues of pyrotechnics and fatherless child and its hair-splitting proves nothing but like Jews and Christians these are articles of faith for you.
 
Assuming (just like you) that these are article of faith for you, then its imperative for you to walk in the footsteps and accept the sunnah of these Holy Prophets and replicate these stories in your life. Now following your faith, if your wife (to be if you are not married) uses the same logic about fatherhood of your child or your child wants to play with fire, what will be your response? Will you be accepting of such a “sunnah”? If you reject it, then you prove once again that you have double standards.
 
Your malice is quite clear in your writing and questioning. Your behavior is no different than the role of his fellow Jews who distracted Jesus (PBUH) from passing his message to the Romans.  It was their polemics, hypocrisy and  hurdles that apparently made mission of Jesus (PBUH) fail in Palestine and he had to escape to Kashmir to continue with his program.  You are trying to be the lamp of knowledge but in your ignorance you might be actually trying to burn down your own house of faith. You remind me of a  couplet which translated into English states:
 
Blisters of the soul inflamed further by the malice in the chest
Ah! this house (i.e. body) burnt down by its own lamp
 
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad&#039;s (ra) message which is unquestionably credited for Tauheed, refocusing Ummah to absolute finality of prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH) and Quran as penultimate source of one&#039;s faith, cannot be derailed by nonsensical paper pollution and jumbled noise of your doubts. Your arguments have reached an asymptote because your purpose is not to seek truth but to find a crack in the system, just like Dajjal which has been prophesied to circle Kabbah to find any weakness so that it can inflict damage. But the same prophecy denies him this success.
 
Not once in your debate have you quoted a single verse of Quran to backup your arguments. It exposes your source of faith which is anything but Quran and for sure is based upon finding faults in others, that you have not been able to do so far.
 
LAM literature is built upon and expounds Quran and in the process the authors had their own personal spiritual experiences, and there is nothing wrong at all with that. For this movement the discussion of pragmatic issues did not end with with the founders, it is still going on, because no human word is final. The only finality is in Quran. Please quote any mutual discrepancy between LAM literature and Quran. That will be a real good service to the cause of faith, else you are not important. I fear that if you start to critically read and understand Quran, you too might become LAMi. What do you have to say about that? Scary?
 
While talking of Quran I will redirect the nature of your logic for your self reflection in light of verse 30:30. &lt;a href=&quot;../../06/supernatural%E2%80%9D-as-rejected-by-quran/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Take a look.&lt;/a&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[at Mr. Ikram and Mr. Aziz 

It seems that your founder disagreed with Mahmud Ahmad (the Qadianis)as well as Muhammad Ali and the LAM.  Read it:

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;He had also opined that the fire mentioned in 21:70 was the fire of opposition; but the Promised Messiah&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;as observed: &quot;There is no need to have recourse to such a construction. I too have been called Abrahamas by God. Those who are unable to comprehend how the fire was cooled for Abrahamas are welcome to throw me into the fire and see whether I emerge safe from it or not.&quot; So Maulawi Sahibra, in refutation of Dharampal’s objection, wrote in Nur-ud-Din: &quot;You can throw our Leader into the fire, and youwill see that Allah, the Exalted, will, according to His promise, safeguard him against the fire as He had safeguarded Abrahamas.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;30
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[At last we are making progress.  And thank you for publishing all of my comments.  

Im still not done with you and Muhammad Ali in terms of his response to that letter.  More to come on that.  

Question 1:  When did Noorudin write this book entitled Nur al Din?  What year?  

Question 2: Is Zafrullah Khan a liar?  

I read this, from his book entitled, &quot;Noorudin&quot;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;The birth of Jesusas without a father had been a somewhat controversial question. Maulawi Nur-ud- Dinra had held the view that Jesus had a father. The Promised Messiahas, in his book Mawahibur Rahman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&quot;

&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Then, I actually bumped into a good reference about the fire of Abraham (as).  I will post that data into the proper thread.  

You need to solved yet another contradiction in Ahmadiyyat thought.  

&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;, announced that it was part of his doctrine that Jesusas had been born without a father. On reading this Maulawi Sahibra  discarded his view and fell into line with the view propounded by the Promised Messiah as He frankly confessed this change of view in his book Nur-ud-Din&lt;/em&gt;]]></description>

<p><em><strong>&#8220;The birth of Jesusas without a father had been a somewhat controversial question. Maulawi Nur-ud- Dinra had held the view that Jesus had a father. The Promised Messiahas, in his book Mawahibur Rahman</strong></em><em><strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p></strong></em>Then, I actually bumped into a good reference about the fire of Abraham (as).  I will post that data into the proper thread.  </p>
<p>You need to solved yet another contradiction in Ahmadiyyat thought.  </p>
<p><em>, announced that it was part of his doctrine that Jesusas had been born without a father. On reading this Maulawi Sahibra  discarded his view and fell into line with the view propounded by the Promised Messiah as He frankly confessed this change of view in his book Nur-ud-Din</em></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Bilal says: &quot;I know more than you can imagine.&quot; Allah says in ayat-ul-kursi: Humans cannot encompass any of His knowledge except as He pleases. Bilal says we cannot encompass any of Bilal&#039;s knowledge except as he pleases to let us have a glimpse of it!

Maulana Nur-ud-Din wrote a book entitled &lt;em&gt;Nur-ud-Din&lt;/em&gt; in refutation of the arguments of a Muslim who had become an Arya and published a book &lt;em&gt;Tark-i Islam,&lt;/em&gt; raising a large number of objections against the Quran which were the reasons for his leaving Islam.

Question: Why did Maulana Nur-ud-Din write this book to defend Islam and the Quran if he himself is a non-Muslim who is against Islam (as Bilal Roberts alleges about us)?

One reason for leaving Islam (no. 74) given by the apostate was that Islam teaches that a woman can become pregnant without a man, as happened in case of the birth of Jesus.

The Maulana replied:

“i. The Islam taught to us by that Divine Scripture, the Holy Quran, does not say anywhere that to become a Muslim you need to believe that Jesus had no father. 
“ii. The Holy Prophet has not told us that a part of Islam is to believe that Jesus had no father. 
“iii. Our beloved holy Companions, our four leaders of jurisprudence, and other great Imams, have nowhere instructed us that it is necessary to believe that Jesus was born without a father. 
“iv. Our respected Sufi saints have not exhorted us anywhere in their teachings that to attain the ranks of Divine nearness, to accomplish self-reform, and to acquire noble morals, it is necessary to believe that Jesus had no father. 
“v. Besides Jesus, how many prophets, messengers and appointed ones of Allah, have there been! Is the genealogy of any one of them recorded in the Holy Quran? In fact, Allah says, ‘None knows the hosts of thy Lord, save He’. So it is not necessary to know of the existence of everyone, let alone how they were born.
 
&quot;Then in the Christian religion, the birth of Jesus without a father is not an evidence of his Divinity, because they believe that Melchizedek and Adam were also born without a father. Again, this teaching is not a part of Islam, so how did this teaching make you leave Islam? This is one of those issues which are matters of general investigation.&quot;

(p. 181-182).

(On p. 184, in connection with something else, he writes: &quot;Today is 11th December 1903&quot;. The book has 258 pages.)

Years later Maulana Nur-ud-Din said:

&quot;There is another debate, as to whether the Messiah was born without father or not. I say: Did 124,000 prophets have fathers or not? The Shariah has not laid upon us the obligation to make investigation about the mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers of prophets. These matters are not a part of your spiritual progress.&quot; (Badr, 24th August 1911)]]></description>

You didnt even answer my questions.  

1.  Why did MGAQ issue a fatwa on the birth of Esa (as) in 1903?  Why did he wait sooo long?  He waited 12 years.  Why doesnt the LAM follow the fatwa of MGAQ?  Didnt Noorudin change his views in 1903?  

I talk about all things, people, events and ideas.  I discuss and think about all 3.  I am well schooled in Ahmadiyya psychology mate.  I know more than you can imagine.  

You appear to be a liberal, you want Islam to have boundaries in terms of science.  Science has no boundaries!!!!!!  The speed of light is a starting point, not a boundary.  You put boundaries on Allah. ]]></description>

Bilal: once again word for word reply to your statements, questions and hate
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;And in about 200 additional years the Quran will again be re-interpretted to fit the new ideas of science technology.&lt;/em&gt;
Why not?  By then we will have new Mujaddids who will shed light on contemporary issues and needs of the time.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;When will it stop???&lt;/em&gt;
Why should it stop?
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Why not cling to the interpretations from the earliest time?&lt;/em&gt;
Please feel free to do so.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Isnt that what socialogists do?&lt;/em&gt;
No, this is not what sociologist do. They find the social causes of fall of Roman Empire. They should look into decay of Muslim Empire, Muslim Ideology as so on.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What about anthropologists?&lt;/em&gt;
Anthropologists study human behavior and its decay.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What about the great archeologists scholar Zahi Hawass of Egypt?&lt;/em&gt;
What about him? Please quote some of his work.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Just because the science doesnt currently exist that can prove that fire can be cooled though some type of supernatural process, doesnt mean that it cant happen.&lt;/em&gt;
Have you graduated high school yet? Where are you coming from? Even the Madrassas have more science in their curriculum than the one you reflect.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dont you believe that angels magically and supernaturally appeared to Muhamad (saw)??? Where did they come from???  Remember, angels are called messengers of Allah.  They brought a message from somewhere.  Are they from a different dimension?  Can Allah rip through space-time???&lt;/em&gt;
You apparently are master of “supernatural” why don&#039;t you enlighten us all? For extra flavor throw in some jinn sprinkles as well.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Grow up guys…we have only scratched the surface of science.  We have no idea what the rules of the universe are.&lt;/em&gt;
Are you speaking about yourself?
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Explain to me how a cell phone compresses voice and then sends it to the heavens to a satellite in less than a second?&lt;/em&gt;
Once you graduate high school then we can talk of lossy compression algorithms, fast fourier transforms, reed-solomon error correction coding. But you need diploma first before we go any further.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dont you know that humans are made of light particles??&lt;/em&gt;
Yes may be from string theory, but not by your “supernatural” and “archeological” Noor!
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dont you think that in the future we will be teleporting back and forth?&lt;/em&gt;
I will pay for your fare. You might be surprised to see that Abraham(PUBH) was no fire-walker.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;1.  Are you claiming that your founder didnt experience a supernatural event with the red drops?  Thats amazing.  What did Muhammad Ali have to say on the matter.  That would be an interesting read.&lt;/em&gt;
On one hand you believe in Abraham (PBUH) walking out of an inferno alive, while on the other hand you ridicule the above event. You contradict yourself. You have one set of rules for yourself and another for others. This is what Quran states about double standards such as yours:
 
&lt;em&gt;23:1. Woe be to those who make a default in any of their duties and give short measure.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;23:2. When they receive measure from other people they receive in full (not allowing the least shortage and loss),&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;23:3. But when they give by measure to others or weigh to them they give them less (than what is due).&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;23:4. Do not such people realize that they will be raised (to life again),&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;23:5. To face (and hear the Judgment of) that Great Day?&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;2.  Do you even know the history of the ‘birth of Esa (as) theory in ahmadiyya thought??? &lt;/em&gt;
Do I have to know any thought but Quran?
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;It wasnt until 1903, that was when MGAQ finally gave a ruling on the matter.  Zafrullah Khan writes about it.  He also writes that Noorudin confessed that he was wrong and changed his belief on the matter.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;This theory of the LAM proves that they were only in business to sell Muhammad Ali’s Qurans.  They really dont care what their messiah said or did.  After 1903 did Noorudin revert to his old beleifs?  I think not.  Show me the evidence. &lt;/em&gt;
Please let go of he-said, she-said. What do you have to say about your faith? Someone said quite wisely - great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and low minds discuss people. Which one are you? You do not even have to answer, we all know.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;You only deny the supernatural because the science doesnt exist yet to explain these events.  During the time of your founder flight to the moon was thought to be impossible.&lt;/em&gt;
See similar answers above.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;You should show some respect to the prophets (as) of Allah.  Maybe the Lam is liberable in their overall approach to religion, which is the impression that I am getting.&lt;/em&gt;
No wonder others have repeatedly emphasized you being a liar. Unlike degrading all the Holy Prophets by smearing them with mythologies like you, LAM respects them in letter and spirit by defending their human-ness, their accomplishments that can be repeated in our times, like Abraham (PBUH) going to the world leader and kings and inviting them to Islam. Defending the finality of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) without any apologies, without any ifs, ands or buts. Hello, give us a sampler of your respect, which is obviously no more but talk, and talk is cheap.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;So…back when Arabic was like the english of today, you are telling me that those arabs had it all wrong.&lt;/em&gt;
Your respect of Islamic philosophers/scholars is no more than a lip service.  Why ask us, its your question to yourself. You answer it. But this much I can tell you that Arabs translated Greek and Roman works, which includes that of Plato (student of Socrates (PBUH), and teacher of Aristotle). The following is a pertinent quote:
 
“Whenever any skeptic or bigot claims to be heard on the question of intellect and morals, we ask if he is familiar with the books of Plato, where all his pert objections have once for all been disposed of. If not, he has no right to our time. Let him go and find himself answered there.” - &lt;em&gt;Ralph Waldo Emerson&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What a theory!!!!  Next thing that you are gonna tell me is that the British govt were a blessing to mankind…oh wait, your founder said that. &lt;/em&gt;
Prove your point to the contrary. You have the microphone.
&lt;em&gt;---------&lt;/em&gt;
Bilal, I leave you with:
“How it infuriates a bigot, when he is forced to drag out his dark convictions!” - &lt;em&gt;Logan Pearsall Smith&lt;/em&gt;]]></description>
