Ahmadis and the Aryas of Qadian

Ahmadis and the Aryas of Qadian is the English translation of Qadian kei Arya aur Hamm —written by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah(as) and published in 1907. The background to this book is that during the Jalsa Salana of 1906 in the month of December that year, whilst the Promised Messiah(as) was leading Zuhr Prayer, a Hindu got up and began uttering the most vile obscenities to a crowd of almost 2,000 guests who were praying behind the Promised Messiah. When the Promised Messiah(as) had completed his Prayers he felt the hearts of his followers to be aggrieved owing to the abuse and comforted them by saying a few words. He highlighted that the Hindus of Qadian were the foremost witnesses of the signs which had been manifested at his hand, as they were the first people to witness them. He further explained which signs had been manifested that caused thousands of people to enter the fold of his Community, many of which were directly related to the Hindu faith.

The Promised Messiah(as) challenges two Aryas by name to swear on oath whether the signs of the Promised Messiah(as) are false, stating that he is certain that if they falsely swear an oath, God’s wrath shall descend upon them.
