Mirza Ghulam's Tirade against Jesus
Christ(pbuh)
(In light of his own Writings)
Among his other claims, Mirza Ghulam also stated to be the Promised Messiah of the
revelations and superior to Jesus(pbuh), the son of Mary(RA), in every aspect. However,
when he became aware of the authentic teachings (Hadith) of our beloved Prophet
Muhammad(SAW) confirming the fact that Jesus(pbuh) will descend before the end of this
world, he had to resort to deception and treachery to misguide and impress the
uninformed.
Naturally, all learned Muslims and Christians were disgusted that a person of such a
questionable character would even dare to make such an outrageous claim. They
could not reconcile Mirza's many faults with the perfection of the Messiah and
refused to pay any attention to his claims. But, the claim to being the Messiah was an
integral part of Mirza's satanic scheme to promote himself to prophethood; hence, he
insisted in propagating his lies. Outraged Christians demanded that he perform
miracles as Jesus(pbuh) had done and ridiculed him when he was unable to do so.
In this page, we have listed some of the better known writings of Mirza Ghulam in
this regard. We like to apologize, in advance, for any offense you might find at these
writings - we also hope that Allah(SWT) will forgive us for having reproduced these
blasphemous statements. Please be assured that no Muslim would hold these same
beliefs. Indeed, we like for you to keep the following verses of the Holy Quran in
mind, as you are reading the quotes documented in this page.
"Those who deny Allah and His messengers, and (those who)
wish to separate Allah from His messengers, saying: "We believe
in some but reject others": And (those who) wish to take a
course midway,- They are in truth (both) unbelievers; and we
have prepared for unbelievers a humiliating punishment."
(The Holy Quran, An-Nisa, 4:150-151)
Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and
to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given
to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their
Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them:
And we bow to Allah (in Islam)."
(The Holy Quran, Al-Baqara, 2:136; also 3:84)

Mirza Insults the Family of Jesus(pbuh)
• "Jesus's three paternal and maternal grandmothers were fornicators and
prostitutes, from whose blood Jesus came into existence."
(Anjam-i-Atham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 291, addenda; Anjam-i-
Atham, P. 9, appendix)
• "You may have tried to find a solution to my claims about the Messiah's
parental and maternal grandmothers. I am tired of thinking. Up to now, no
nice solution has occurred to me. What a glorious god is he whose paternal
and maternal grandmothers are of such repute?"
(Nur-ul-Quran, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 9, P. 394; Nur-ul-Quran, Vol. 2, P.
45)
• "Islam, unlike Christianity, does not teach us that God was born of a woman -
and was fed by sucking blood from the womb of his mother for nine months -
the blood which had the qualities of prostitutes like the daughters of Saba,
Tamar, and Rabah."
(Anjam-e-Athum, P. 41)
• "Jesus had an inclination for prostitutes perhaps due to his ancestral
relationship with them..."
(Anjam-i-Atham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 291, addenda)
You might want to compare these devilish statements with those made in the Holy
Quran:
How does Mirza dare to suggest that the Grandmother of Jesus(pbuh) were prostitutes?
Page 4 of 18
such men are wicked transgressors;-
(The Holy Quran, Al-Noor, 24:4)
We hope that everyone can readily see what Mirza Ghulam is insinuating here:
• It was common among Jews to go out with their fiancee and have premarital
sex;
• Mary(RA) was a Jews and used to go out with his fiancee, Joseph;
• Mary(RA) broke her oath of celibacy (had multiple children);
• Joseph was the Father of Jesus(pbuh);
• Jesus(pbuh) had Paternal grandmothers (did Jesus(pbuh) even have a father?);
• Jesus(pbuh) had brothers/sisters and all were the children of Joseph and Mary(RA).
In short, Mirza insolently suggested that Mary(RA) had engaged in premarital sex with
Joseph; and Jesus(pbuh) was the result of that fornication. Each one of these claims of
Mirza are unfounded and untruthful charges rejected by the Holy Quran. Let's see
what Allah(SWT) has said about these accusations set forth by Mirza Ghulam Qadiani:
Page 5 of 18
(to Mary) Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen
thee and purified thee - chosen thee above the women of all
nations."
(The Holy Quran, Aal-e-Imran, 3:42)
She (Mary) said: 'O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no
man hath touched me?' He said: 'Even so: Allah createth what
He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it,
'Be,' and it is!
(The Holy Quran, Aal-e-Imran, 3:47)
That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave
false charge;
(The Holy Quran, An-Nisa, 4:156)
And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and
produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog
them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for
such men are wicked transgressors;-
(The Holy Quran, Al-Noor, 24:4)
Would any Muslim dare make such shameful allegations against one of the great
women in history?

much for your kind advice. However, if I get into the habit of using
opium, I am afraid that people will mock that the first Messiah (Jesus)
was an alcoholic and the second (Mirza himself) was a drug addict."
(Nasim-i-Dawat, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 19, P. 434; Nasim-i-Dawat,
P. 66-67)
o "(Jesus) had the habit of uttering obscenities and frequently using foul
language."
(Zamimah Anjam-i-Atham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 289;
Zamimah Anjam-i-Atham, P. 5)
o "It should be remembered that he (Jesus) had also to some extent the
habit of lying."
(Zamimah Anjam-i-Atham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 289;
Baraheen-e-Ahmadia, P. 369)
o "Then surprisingly hazrat Eisa (Jesus), peace be upon him, did not
practice the moral teachings himself."
(Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 20, P. 346)
o "The teachings of Jesus ruined the whole of Europe since it permitted
unrestrained and unconditional liberty. So much so that it resulted in
all (practicing) adultery and fornication like pigs and dogs..."
(Nur-ul-Quran, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 9, P. 416)
Page 7 of 18
excitement and arousal had done its work to the fullest. This is the
reason why Jesus could not even open his mouth to say 'Oh adulteress!
Keep away from me'."
(Nur-ul-Quran, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 9, P. 449; Nur-ul-Quran, Vol.
2, P. 9; Maktoobat-e-Ahmadia, Vol. 3, P. 23-24)
o "A cunning and wicked (person) who had the soul of Messiah from
head to toe."
(Zamimah Anjam-i-Atham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 289)
o He (Jesus) had nothing to his credit except cunning and deceit."
(Anjam-i-Atham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 291, addenda)
o "A most shameful thing is that the sermon on the mount, which is the
essence of the Bible, Jesus plagiarized from Talmud."
(Anjam-i-Atham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 290, footnote)
o ".... Now who is responsible for all these sins? The burden of these sins
is undoubtedly on Jesus."
(Nur-ul-Quran, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 9, P. 416)
o "Jesus, peace be upon him, repented for his sins at the hands of John
the Baptist and became one of his select disciples. This decides the
superiority of John the Baptist over Jesus, since it is not proven that
John the Baptist ever repented at the hands of anyone."
(Dafi-ul-Bala, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 18, P. 220)
o "Jesus was not any more righteous than other righteous ones of his
time. Indeed, the prophet John the Baptist was superior to him,
because he did not consume alcohol, nor allowed any prostitute to
massage his head with perfume purchased from her earnings or touch
his body with her hands and hair, or that any unchaste woman should
serve him. This is the very reason that God named John the Baptist as
'Circumspect' (Quran 3:39). But He did not give the Messiah such a
title due to these kind of episodes."
(Dafi-ul-Bala, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 18, P. 220)
[Comment: And did Allah(SWT) give this title to any other Prophet? We
wonder what their sin was?!!]
Mirza Ghulam exceeded all boundaries of belief and decency when he uttered these
words about one of the great Messengers of Allah(SWT). Anyone who has studied the
writings of Mirza Ghulam and his supporters will readily realize that all the
accusations Mirza levied against our beloved Jesus(pbuh) were among his own faults
and shortcomings. By falsely accusing Jesus(pbuh) of these acts, he was hoping to be
able to impress upon his naive followers that he was not any different than the first
Messiah.
Let's examine a few verses of the Holy Quran which contradict what Mirza
insinuated:
Page 8 of 18
Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings
of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of
Mary, held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the
company of) those nearest to Allah;"
(The Holy Quran, Aal-e-Imran, 3:45)
He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And
he shall be (of the company) of the righteous.
(The Holy Quran, Aal-e-Imran, 3:46)
While he was standing in prayer in the chamber, the angels
called unto him: "Allah doth give thee glad tidings of Yahya,
witnessing the truth of a Word from Allah, and (be besides)
noble, chaste, and a prophet,- of the (goodly) company of the
righteous."
(The Holy Quran, Aal-e-Imran, 3:39)
Anyone who knowingly utters such blasphamy has given up faith in Islam.
Mirza was not happy with having attacked the character of Jesus(pbuh), he needed to
also reject his(pbuh) very prophethood. Naturally, he had to attack the teachings of this
great Prophet, in his attempt at suggesting that his own failures were not any different
than the ones he fabricated against the real Messiah! Unfortunately for him, Allah(SWT)
rejects this false accusation, as well:
Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My
favor to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee
with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in
childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and
Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold!..."
(The Holy Quran, Al-Maeda, 5:110)
Page 9 of 18
Then, in their wake, We followed them up with (others of) Our
messengers: We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and
bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of
those who followed him Compassion and Mercy...
(The Holy Quran, Al-Hadid, 57:27)
o "It is no wonder that God Almighty may have given Jesus some
knowhow so that by pressing a trigger of blowing on it, the clay-toy
took flight or, if it did not fly, walked. Because the Messiah, son of
Mary, had worked as a carpenter with his father Joseph for twenty two
years, we know that he was able to invent different sorts of
machines and instruments."
(Azalah-i-Auham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 3, P. 254)
o "Besides, it is also possible that such miracles may have taken place by
mesmerism (magic) and for play and amusement, rather than in
reality. Since in mesmerism, there are such marvels which come about
by the expert practitioner casting his own spirit on objects to make
them appear alive... However, Jesus was inferior to Elisha, because
even the corpse of Elisha performed that miracle of reviving the dead
person who touched him bones. But Jesus's dead body could not
revive the thieves crucified along with Jesus despite their bodies being
in contact with Jesus's body."
(Azalah-i-Auham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 3, P. 255)
o "...He (Jesus) had nothing to his credit except cunning and deceit."
(Anjam-i-Atham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 291, addenda)
o "Very likely he (Jesus, The Messiah) may have healed some blind
person or cured some other ailment by ordinary means. Due to luck,
there was a pond which was the source of great miracles, during his
time. It can be assumed that he also used the clay of the same (magic)
pond. The complete reality of his miracles is unfolded by this pond. A
categorical inference drawn from the presence of this pond is that, if he
performed any miracles at all, they were not his miracles, rather those
attributable to this pond. He (Jesus) had nothing to his credit except
cunning and deceit."
(Anjam-i-Atham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 291, addenda)
o "The Messiah's miracles were worthless and insignificant due to the
pond which was a source of wonders even before the Messiah's birth.
All kinds of sick, lepers, cripples, etc., used to be cured by one dip in
Page 10 of 18
this pond."
(Azalah-i-Auham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 3, P. 263, addenda)
o "It is also possible that the Messiah used to bring the clay of the pond
which had the spiritual effect of the Holy Spirit. Anyhow, this miracle
(of creating birds and making them fly) was merely a kind of play."
(Azalah-i-Auham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 3, P. 263)
o "The number of objections and doubts about the miracles and
prophecies of the Messiah are so great that no other prophet's miracles
or prophecies have been doubted so much. Doesn't the story of the
Pond belittle the Messiah's miracles?"
(Azalah-i-Auham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 3, P. 106)
o "...if he (Jesus) performed any miracles at all, they were not his
miracles, rather those attributable to this pond. He (Jesus) had nothing
to his credit except cunning and deceit."
(Anjam-i-Atham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 291, addenda)
o "The Christians have written about many miracles of Jesus, but the fact
is that he performed no miracles."
(Anjam-i-Atham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 11, P. 290, Addenda)
o "Let it be known that this practice (of mesmerism) is not as honorable
as it is deemed by the public. If I had not regarded this practice as
detestable and hateful, I would hope that, by the grace of God
Almighty, this humble one (me) would not have been inferior to
Messiah, the son of Mary, in showing wonderful acts (of mesmerism)."
(Azalah-i-Auham, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 3, P. 257)
Mirza, quite shamelessly, rejected clear verses of Quran testifying to the miracles of
Jesus(pbuh) and charged Jesus(pbuh) to have been deceitful (by magic, invention, or luck).
As apparent from the last quote, he only did this because he was not able to perform
miracles and he needed a way to discount the miracles of the real Messiah. In His
book, Allah(SWT) confirms the miracles of Jesus(pbuh) and testifies that only the
unbelievers will dare to call the miracles of Jesus(pbuh) magic acts:
Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My
favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee
with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in
childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and
Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! Thou makest out
of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou
breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou
healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And
behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I
did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when
thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among
them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic'."
(The Holy Quran, Al-Maeda, 5:110)
And (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, (with
Page 11 of 18
this message): "I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord,
in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird,
and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave: And I
heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by
Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store
in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;"
(The Holy Quran, Aal-e-Imran, 3:49)
A careful reading of Mirza Ghulam's own writings paint a clear picture of a misguided
individual.
Much like all prophets of Allah(SWT), Jesus(pbuh) only preached and prophesied what he
was told by Allah(SWT). Mirza Ghulam advanced these unsubstantiated charges to
discount the repeated failure of his own prophecies. To believers, his statements only
serve to point out Mirza's own insolence and lack of faith. In the Holy Quran, we are
told only of the accurate prophecy of Jesus(pbuh) regarding the advent of hazrat
Muhammad(SAW). Additionally, by the leave of Allah(SWT), Jesus(pbuh) did perform many
miracles:
Behold! the disciples, said: "O Jesus the son of Mary! can thy
Lord send down to us a table set (with viands) from heaven?"
Said Jesus: "Fear Allah, if ye have faith."
They said: "We only wish to eat thereof and satisfy our hearts,
and to know that thou hast indeed told us the truth; and that we
ourselves may be witnesses to the miracle."
Page 12 of 18
(The Holy Quran, Al-Maeda, 5:112-113)
No prophet could (ever) be false to his trust...
(The Holy Quran, Aal-e-Imran, 3:161)
A believer would be expected to show absolute reverence for a prophet of God; Mirza
rejected the verses of the Holy Quran in rejecting Jesus(pbuh).
These accusations are not only baseless and inaccurate but also are devoid of Islamic
knowledge:

nearly related. Thou canst but admonish such as fear their Lord
unseen and establish regular Prayer. And whoever purifies
himself does so for the benefit of his own soul; and the
destination (of all) is to Allah.
(The Holy Quran, Fatir, 35:18)
If ye reject (Allah), Truly Allah hath no need of you; but He
liketh not ingratitude from His servants: if ye are grateful, He is
pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of
another. In the end, to your Lord is your Return, when He will
tell you the truth of all that ye did (in this life). for He knoweth
well all that is in (men's) hearts.
(The Holy Quran, Az-Zumar, 39:7)
Mirza Ghulam was preaching to individuals who were ignorant of Islamic teachings.
Any Muslim would readily see that each one of his accusations was a testimony to
his own ignorance.

habit of drinking Wine."
(Satt Bachan, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 10, P. 296; Satt Bachan, P. 172,
footnote)
Only an unbeliever would doubt Jesus(pbuh) after Allah(SWT) has testified to his
prophethood and mission in the Holy Quran. A Muslim believes that Jesus(pbuh) did
not ever lay claim to divinity:
And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst
thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in
derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could
I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou
wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my
heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in
full all that is hidden.
If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servant: If Thou dost
forgive them, Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise".
(The Holy Quran, A-Maeda, 5:116-118)
Page 15 of 18
Mirza Ghulam scheme next involved claiming that Jesus(pbuh) had died and that he
(Mirza) was the Messiah prophecised by our Holy Prophet Muhammad(SAW). But, the
Hadith of the Prophet(SAW) are absolutely clear that Jesus(pbuh) is alive and will descend
from the heavens before the day of Judgment. The Holy Quran also states:
That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of
Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor
crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those
who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain)
knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they
killed him not:-
Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in
Power, Wise;-
And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in
him (Jesus) before his (Jesus's) death; and on the Day of
Judgment he will be a witness against them;-
(The Holy Quran, An-Nisa, 4:157-159)
And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of
Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but
follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way.
(The Holy Quran, Az-Zukhruf, 43:61)
Mirza Ghulam was indeed misguided. Every accusation he made against Jesus(pbuh)
was an attempt to ridicule a great prophet of Allah(SWT) and part of his master plan to
slowly raise himself to the level of Jesus(pbuh).
Having tested the gullibility of his followers, Mirza and his associates dreamt up the
story that Mirza had been converted to Mary and given birth to Jesus (himself)!
• "Indeed, God named me Mary who was pregnant with Jesus. I am the object
of the words of the Almighty in Surah Tehrim: 'And Mary, daughter of Imran,
who guarded her chastity, so we blow into it our spirit'; as I am the only one
who has claimed that I am Mary and that into me has been blown the soul of
Jesus."
(Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, P. 337; Bahareen-e-Ahmadia, P. 388)
• "God named me Mary in the third volume of Baraheen-e-Ahmadia (the book
of "revelations" written by Mirza). I was nurtured for two years as Mary and
was raised in a womanly seclusion. Then, the spirit of Jesus was breath into
me just as was done with Mary. Hence, I was considered to be pregnant in a
metaphorical manner. After a period of several months, not exceeding ten, I
Page 16 of 18
was made Jesus out of Mary by the revelation embodied in the last part of the
fourth volume of Baraheen-e-Ahmadia; and thus, I became Jesus, son of Mary.
But, God did not inform me of this secret at that time."
(Kashti-i-Nuh, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 19, P. 50; Kashti-i-Nuh, P. 46-47)
• "I am nominated as Messiah, the son of Mary."
(Anjam Autham, P. 75; Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, P. 294, 339, 72)
• "It is my claim that I am that same Christ whose advent in the last days of the
world has been prophesied in all the sacred scriptures."
(Tufa-i-Gooladia, P. 195)
Finally, the picture is becoming clear. The reason for all the obscenity and blasphemy
Mirza Ghulam uttered against Jesus(pbuh) and his family and the reason he had declared
Jesus(pbuh) dead becomes clear. Miraz Ghulam was not any different than the modern
age claimants to messiahship: David Koresh, Jim Jones, and Charles Manson.
Page 17 of 18
• "To this community, God sent the promised Messiah (Mirza) who is better in
all glory that the first Messiah (Jesus) and calls this new Messiah Ghulam
Ahmad."
(Dafi-ul-Bala, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 18, P. 233; Dafi-ul-Bala P. 27)
• "After all, when God and His Apostle (Muhammad(SAW)) and all the Prophets
have declared the supremacy of the second Messiah (Mirza) of this period due
to his great achievements; then, it is a satanic act to question me 'Why do you
proclaim yourself superior to the first Messiah, the son of Mary?'."
(Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 22, P. 159)
• "Give up all mention of the son of Mary, because Ghulam Ahmad is superior
to him."
(Dafi-ul-Bala, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 18, P. 240; Dafi-ul-Bala, P. 30)
Mirza Ghulam Qadiani abused Jesus(pbuh) and, in doing so, rejected verses of Quran
speaking of Jesus(pbuh) and his family. He was no more than an opportunist and a
fabricator. Our holy Prophet(SAW) has warned us about the advent of impostors who
will claim to be a prophet:
