Dawood Majokas post:
One year before his death Hazrat MM a.s. wrote many things in his
book "Haqiqatul Wahi". In context of lahori controversy
I would would like to quote the following and ask lahori brethren
to explain them!
1.
QUOTE
In this ummah, there were thousands of auliya and a one, who was
ummati as well as nabi
Haqiqtul Wahi RK vol 22 Page 30
2.
QUOTE
Therefore due to this reason only I have been exclusively given
the name "Nabi" and all other people are not worthy of
this name.
Waqiqatul Wahi RK vol 22 page 406-407
These quotes shows that there was to date only one person who was
both ummati and nabi. Whereas lahories call MM a.s. a mujjadid and
explain his nabuwat on the pattern of previous auliya and mujjadedeen.
Thus making MM a.s. simply one of many auliya and mujadids of ummat,
albeit a greater one. In clear contradiction to this lahori belief,
MM a.s. says that he is the only one to be given this status.
Another assumption of Molvi Mohammad Ali sb and his companions
was that ALL sahaba of MM a.s. held him to be a mujadid and not
a prophet before the start of the controversy. He even threw challenges
in support of this claim. In this book MM a.s. has himself refuted
this assumption by quoting one letter of a sahabi.
3.
QUOTE
Hazrat Karamdad from Dulmial Dist Jehlum wrote in his letter to
MM a.s. which is quoted in Haqiqatul Wahi RK vol 22 Page 380-385
see page 385 where he writes:
Aaey Khuda key piyarey rasul / O beloved prophet of God
There is no qualification mentioned in this letter. And MM a.s.
has not commented on these words as being inaccurate etc. Moreover
the letter shows clearly that the Sahaba held MM a.s. to be a Rasul
/ Prophet. Thus the challenge by Molvi M Ali Sb is refuted by the
writings of MM a.s. himself.
Haziqs post:
Twelve references from the book "Haqiqat-ul-Wahi" to
prove that he was not among the saints of this Ummah, rather he
was more than that, a prophet, as written and proved by him. If
any Lahori would like to comment on these references then I would
explain with detail how they conclusively refute the beliefs of
lahoris, for me these references are so clear, even 'heavy' than
lahoris 200 references stunt.

"Purely and quite exclusively, from the grace of God, not by
any dexterity on my part, I have received a full measure of the
blessings, before my time, conferred on the earlier Prophets, Apostles,
and the righteous servants of Allah. It would not have been possible
for me to be granted this bounty had I not followed the ways of
my lord and master, the pride of the Prophets, the best of mankind,
Muhammad Mustafa, peace be on him " (Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Roohani
Khazain, Vol 22, page 64)

"A stalwart from Persia" and the Promised Messiah are
two names for one and the same person, as pointed out by the Holy
Quran where it says : "And among others from among them who
have not yet joined them", i.e., included among the Companions
of the Holy Prophet Mohamrnad, is another body of men, which has
not yet appeared. Evidently, Companions are only those present at
the time of the advent of a Prophet, who come to believe in him,
and receive the teaching, and training, directly from him. So it
stands proved from this verse, that among the people spoken of here,
a Prophet would be raised, who would be a buruz of the Holy Prophet,
which fact would qualify his followers, his companions, for being
reckoned as Companions of the Holy Prophet Mohammad himself; and
just as the Companions in the first instance, strove valiantly in
the Way of the Lord God, according to the need of their time, the
later also would render service to the cause of Islam, according
to the specific needs of their time. In any case, this Verse contains
a prophecy about the advent of a Prophet towards the latter days.
Otherwise there is no justification why some people should be called
Companions of the Holy Prophet, who were to be born a long time
after the Holy Prophet, and who never saw him." (Tatimma Haqiqat-ul-Wahi,
Roohani Khazain, Vol 22, page 502)

"Some thoughtless people say that, generally speaking, those
in Europe and America are not aware even of my name; why then have
they perished in earthquakes, and volcanic outbursts? The reply
is that they were ripe for punishment, on account of excesses and
misdeeds. So, in accordance with his normal, usual manner, He held
His hand till a Prophet had been raised, to warn them. But when
that Prophet came, and those people bad been given a call, by means
of thousands upon thousands of pamphlets and leaflets, the moment
had come when they were to get in this world what they had come
to deserve
So the truth is what has been stated in the Holy
Quran : "We could not, properly, have punished these people,
until we had raised an Apostle among them." This is the manner
and method of the Lord God; and, evidently, no Prophet, no Apostle
from the Lord has appeared at the time, anywhere in Europe or America.
Therefore the punishment that has fallen on them, it has fallen
only after my claim had gone out." (Tatimma Haqiqat-ul-Wahi,
Roohani Khazain, pages 486-487)

"Whosoever shall study the Holy Quran, with care, and honesty
of mind, he would realise that at the time of the later tribulations,
when most portions of the globe would be turned upside down; a virulent
plague would spread; and death on every side would gather up a great
harvest, the advent of an Apostle would be necessary at that time,
as Allah Himself has said : "It is not Our way that We send
a chastisement, until We have sent an Apostle." Again, when
the advent of Apostles has preceded even comparatively smaller punishments,
as borne out by past events, how is it possible that on the occasion
of the great chastisement of the later days, which was to overwhelm
the whole world, a chastisement foretold by all the Prophets of
old, that chastisement should descend on the people, without the
advent of the Prophet destined and ordained to appear at the juncture?
Any idea that such a thing is possible, involves an evident falsification
of the Word of God. Now this same Apostle is the Promised Messiah."
(Tatimma Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Roohani Khazain, page 498-499)

"Almighty God made the Holy Prophet into a 'seal' in the sense
that for extending the benefits and excellence he was given a 'seal'
which had never been given to anyone before. This is the basis why
he has been called 'Khatam-un-Nabiyeen', i.e., loyalty and obedience
rendered to him brings down on one excellence of Nabuwwat and his
spiritual concentration in capable of carving out a prophet. This
holy power has not been extended to any other Prophet." (Haqiqat-ul-Wahi,
Roohani Khazain, Vol 22, page 100)

"In this Ummat, through the blessings resulting from following
in the footsteps of the Holy Prophet peace be upon him, there have
been thousands of Aulia and also the one who is an Ummati, and a
Nabi as well." (Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Roohani Khazain, Vol 22, page
30, footnote)

"Themselves, they read in Ahadith reports which prove, in the
Ummat of the Holy Prophet, there would be people like the prophets
among the Israelites, and there would be one, who from one angle
would be a nabi while from another angle he would be an ummati and
he would be the one called the promised Messiah." (Haqiqat-ul-Wahi,
Roohani Khazain, Vol 22, page 104)

"In Ahadith of the Holy Prophet it has been foretold that in
the Ummat of the Holy Prophet, there shall appear one who will be
called Issa and Ibne Maryam and will be called Nabi which means
that he will be getting the excellence of communion and communication
and the matters of unseen disclosed to him with such abundance that
cannot be done except to a Prophet as Allah says, 'Allah does not
grant anyone a full power and dominance on matters pertaining to
the unknown obtaianable on the basis of amplitude and clarity except
in the case of His own chosen Apostle. And it is a thing well established
that the amplitude and abundance of communion and the volume of
knowledge in regard to the unknown bestowed on me by Allah, in the
last thirteen hundred years, has not been granted to anyone else.
If there be anyone who desires to deny this, the burden of proof
lies on him.
In short, in point of abundance and matters pertaining to the unknown,
in this ummat, I am the only specific individual and out of the
Auliyya, Abdaals and Aqtaabs, as have gone before my time, such
amplitude of the great blessing has not been given to anyone at
all. Because of this reason I am the only person specified to get
the name of prophet while everyone else held as not deserving this
name for amplitude of wahi and an abundance of knowledge in respect
of matters unknown is an indispensable condition and this condition
is not found in them. And it was necessary that it should happen
so that the Prophecy of Holy prophet peace be upon him should be
fulfilled because if the other righteous persons, who have gone
before me, had received the same volume of communion and communication
with Allah and tidings in regard to the future, they would certainly
have come to deserve being called prophets and in that case a hole
would have appeared in the prophecy of the Holy Prophet, the sagacity
of the Allah therefore let them fall short of obtaining a full share
of this blessing, so that, as foretold in Hadith, there should be
only one of this kind and the prophecy come to be fulfilled."
(Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Roohani Khazain, Vol 22, page 406-407)

"Apart from him, to no other prophet has this seal bean extended.
He is the only one under whose seal a prophethood can be obtained,
for which a binding condition is that he should be his Ummati."
(Haqiqat-ul-Wahi page 28)

"The content, which you call communion and communication, amplitude
and abundance of the same, under mandate from the Lord God, I designate
as Nabuwwat. wa likullin an yastaliha." (Tatimma Haqiqat-ul-Wahi,
Roohani Khazain, Vol 22, page 503)

"Similarly, in the beginning this was my belief that in no
way was I comparable with reference to Jesus son of Mary. He was
a prophet, great among those chosen by the Lord. Even when something
occurred, which seemed to establish my superiority over him, always
I took it to imply some partial preference. Later on, however, the
revelation sent down on me by the Lord, like pouring rain, it did
not allow me to remain clinging to this belief and I found the title
of Nabi clearly conferred on me, in a manner that I was a Nabi from
one angle, an ummati from another." (Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Roohani
Khazain, Vol 22, page 153-154)
12.
"My dear people, when I have proved that Massih the son of
Mary is dead and the Massih to come is I, myself, now, in this position,
whosoever holds that the first Massih was superior, he should, on
the basis of conclusive Reports from the Hadith and verses of Holy
Quran prove that the Messiah to come is nothing at all, being neither
a Nabi, nor an arbitor, the first being everything there was need
for him to be." (Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Roohani Khazain, Vol 22,
page 159)
