Will there ever be a 'Reformation' in Islam?

Not exactly sure what you think I am saying, sorry.

I'm saying is Mirza Ghulam one of the hundred year reformers/prophets in the passage of time. Because since the 7th century many 'hundreds' have passed.

To avoid confusion I'm going to attempt to stay on task with one person at a time.

Thanks for the utter clarity, I really do appreciate it. :)

What I meant was:

Or even less specifically, Do you think they could be one of the reformations throughout time, not necessarily THE one and only or the last?

Thanks.

Well, i don't think so because he claimed to be a Prophet, and many people claimed to be so after the death of Prophet Mohamed, so he is not special in anyway.

Prophet Mohamed mentioned to us clearly, as did the Quran, that Prophet Mohamed will be the last Prophet.

If he claimed to be just a scholar then i would have giving it another thought, a Prophet? nah.

Thanks, I just wondered what your opinion was, not necessarily what was right or wrong.

I can dig your logic though. Thanks for taking the time to work that out with me :)

I don't consider Tariq Ramadan as a reformer at all...

I don't belief that Reformation in a religious way can happen since most of us try to follow the most early Islamic teachings.

Most of reformers stick to early islamic teachings as well since it's the foundation for their views.

I recall a hadith of the Prophet which states that in every 100 years, a Muslim reformer would arise.

For exemple: Abdulkadie Geylani, Imam Rabbani, Imam Gazali etc. but wahabi movement not an islamic reform. Islam has no need to change but each 100 years there are new comments by a Muslim reformer as I gave some names.

What is the wahabi movement?

The reformer you ask about has come. He came as was prophesied by the Holy Prophet; in the 14th(Islamic) century. The teachers who came about every 100 years were not of the same status.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam was a Messiah like Jesus Christ. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's role was to return Islam to its original, beneficial teachings free from all the accumulated dogma of 1400 years.

Unfortunately, like the Jewish authorities at the time of Jesus, the reformed teaching of MIrza Ghulam Ahmad is unacceptable to the establish hierarchy of Islam who prefer their traditional interpretation which can no longer benefit the followers.

So like the Jews before them the Muslims are destined for decline and exile from their own lands as their society disintegrates without the support of God.
At the time of Jesus it was the Romans who inflicted this on the Jews. Who will it be for the Muslims - time will tell! UN, Americans, EU, take your pick.

Mirza claimed prophethood. He is not a reformer, just another false prophet. He claimed to be 2 persons (Jesus soul+mahdi).

G-d (Allah) appointed Mirza Ghualm Ahmad Messiah-(Second Coming)-Imam Mahdi, so did Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claim to be prophet-messenger of G-d (Allah). Moses could not deny or refuse the office (prophet-hood), the same happened with Jesus, it is so easy to understand. Isn't it? Please.
