Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you....May 27 th 1908 is the day when Khilafat of Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) in Jama'at Ahmadiyya started. It was linked with the Prophecies, mentioned in the following:
1-
Allah the Exalted said in Holy Quran:
[ch62:v3] He it is Who has raised among the Unlettered people a Messenger from among themselves who recites unto them His verses, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and wisdom, although they had been, before, in manifest misguidance;
[ch62:v4]And among others from among them, who have not yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
The Companion Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: One day we were sitting with Holy Prophet when Surah Jumua [ch 62] was revealed. I enquired from the Holy Prophet, Who are the people to whom the words, "And among others who have not yet joined them" Salman, the Persian was sitting among us. Upon my repeated asking him the same question the Holy Prophet put his hand on Salman and said; If faith were to go up to the Pleiades, a man from these would surely find it.
[Ref: Book of Hadith, Bukhari]
a-This is the man which is the second coming of Messiah and also is Mahdi. Titles carry meaning of peace and guidance from Allah.
b- Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) saw two very different persons as Jesus, in his dreams; one was reddish with curly hairs [follower of Moses], the other was man of brownish skin with straight hairs circuiting around Kaaba while antichrist too was circuiting. [Both Ahadith are in Bukhari] -- Therefore the second coming of Jesus a.s. was to be as someone else [as second coming of Elijah was fulfilled as John the Baptist (Yahya a.s.)]
These words of Allah the Exalted and explanation by the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) fulfilled in 1889 when Hazrat Promised Messiah – the Mahdi (on whom be peace) was sent by Allah the Exalted (as ardent devotee of Holy Prophet sa) to begin the promised peaceful reforms by the commandment of Allah the Exalted.
That is how the the first aspect of words of Allah the Exalted and explanation of Holy Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be on him) were fulfilled. The second aspect was fulfilled as follows:
2-
Allah the Exalted makes a conditional promise in Holy Quran:
[24:56] “Allah has promised to those among you who believe and do good works that He will surely make them Successors in the earth, as He made Successors from among those who were before them; and that He will surely established for them their religion which He has chosen for them; (and) that He will surely give them in exchange security (and peace) after their fear: They will worship Me, and they will not associate anything with Me. Then whoso is ungrateful after that, they will be the rebellious.”
This above verse is well understood in the light of saying of The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) who prophesied about various era. He said:
i- Prophethood will remain among you as long as Allah wills, then Allah, the Exalted will take it away.
ii- Then Khilafat on the precept of Prophethood will commence as long as Allah wills, then Allah, the Exalted will take away this.
iii- Then tyrannical monarchy would be established, it will be there as long as Allah wills. Then Allah, the Exalted will take it away.
iv- Then despotic kingship would emerge. It will stay as long as Allah wills. Then Allah, the Exalted will take it away.
v- Then (again), Khilafat on the precept of Prophethood shall be established. Then he became silent.
Reference: Narrated by Sahabi (Companion) Hadhrat Huziafah (may Allah be pleased be him): Musnad Ahmad, Mish'kaat
a-In above hadith, first the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.), told about his own Prophethood. ( in #i).
b-Then he (s.a.w.) foretold about Righteous Khilafat [the Khilafat e Rashidah; Hadhrat Abu Baker, Hadhrat Umer, Hadhrat Uthman, Hadhrat Ali , may Allah be pleased with them]. Their sole aim was to follow their beloved master (s.a.w.) in seeking Allah's pleasure and establishing Islam. (in #ii)
c-Then he (s.a.w.) told about various times of rulers, in whose sovereignty, faithful lived through hard times. (in #iii, #iv)
d-The last part of the prophecy fulfilled in two ways:
Firstly when Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) appeared as subordinate Prophet to Last Prophet with Shariah and Chief of all Prophets i.e. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) [in Hadith of Muslim, the incoming man is called ‘Esa Nabiullah, four times],
Secondly when Khilafat started after the Promised Messiah (a.s.) and continues by the grace of Allah the Exalted.
3-
Holy Quran and Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) foretold various inter-linked signs [no chance could have mimic these] in Heavens and Earth which determined the last era. These Signs included specific conditions of the world in wars and other matters, anti-truth forces, natural resources, human rights, pollution, religious world’s chaos, selfish political affairs, decay in morals, new sciences, plague, earthquakes, change in vehicles, special eclipse of Sun and Moon in the Fasting month of Ramadhan when the promised person was to come (and he came).…..These extraordinary signs began to take place from late 1800 and onward and right at that time the promised reformer appeared too. He was opposed by joint resistances from various quarters but Allah the Exalted took his message of peaceful reforms (which emerged from an very little known town in India) to 206 countries in the world under his Khilafat.

Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (a.t) explains, in general, that:
a) God of Islam is universal as Holy Quran teaches. He is of everyone.
b) Islam and Holy Quran teach peace and love. That is why teachings of all Prophets are praised in Quran.
c) Few militants are using name of Islam for their evil motives and it happens to other religions too.
d) When Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) and his followers were persecuted beyond limits, they self defended themselves but with immense care against innocents. Now there is no attack on Muslims because of their religion therefore there should be no war on the name of religion.
e) The Promised Messiah has been sent by Allah to establish peace.
f) World need to avoid impending world war.
g) Islam presents solution to world problems.
Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (may help him with His Might Help) said in the recent Friday sermon:
Friday Sermon: Suspicion and Faith
“Speaking of the time of the Promised Messiah's (on whom be peace) passing, Hazrat Musleh Maud says God greatly strengthened his heart and his mind promptly grasped that they were faced with a great responsibility. And made this pledge: 'God I stand by the body of Your Messiah and affirm that even if not a single person remains in the world to do this task, I shall carry on.' He said he felt an indescribable strength at the time.”
“….every member of our Jama'at should pledge that they have to work for the cause of faith. Every adversity will turn into comfort for us and we will feel delight in our work. Indeed, we will be faced with difficulties but to march onwards and upwards is the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
It is the task of Ahmadiyya Jama'at to take the message of One God to the world and bring them in the sphere of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). It is a tremendous task and can only be done with God's help and support. None of our tasks are accomplished without Divine help.
The pledge that Hazrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) made by the side of his blessed father's body should be the pledge of each one of us. We should indeed pledge to remain distant from shirk (associating partners with God) and try our utmost for the mission of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and fulfil the pledge of waving the banner of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). May God enable us to do so!”
