Abuse and Vile Language

Obsession with 'Haramzada' (Bastard)

This was the favourite abusive word used by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. This example will give the reader an idea of the ways in which he used this word (Anwar-ul-Islam, Roohani Khazain Vol. 9, page 32):

Food and drink is 'haram' (forbidden) for him if he reads this advertisement and does not go to Mr. Abdullah Atham, and if not for the fear of God then for the fear of this dirty label (bastard) . . . Christians were victorious otherwise it is a sign of bastards that . . . we do not call anyone illegitimate nor name someone bastard unless . . . . what can we say except 'mistake once, mistake twice, third is the mother's mistake (illegitimate birth)'.

The original edition of the book Anwar-ul-Islam had the Urdu translation of the last part of the passage, which is a Persian saying.

Self-awareness of Abuse and Mistransalation

The 1890s were the 'death prophecy' period of Mirza's career and he would lash out with abuse at everyone whenever he was criticized or his prophecies failed.

As a result of this non-scholarly approach, scholars and leaders of other faiths would not stoop to his level and started to ignore Mirza, which was interpreted by his followers as 'victory'. One of the things this site has done is to bring out evidence from history that those opponents wrote scholarly replies and left it at that, and those replies were not generally accessible.

Mirza's followers often say that Mirza's abuse was his response to abuse levelled at him. This is largely incorrect as other scholars and leaders had large followings and literary ranking and would not have stooped to abuse and we have evidence of their replies and books now, which may have been sarcastic but not abusive. Also, Mirza himself negates this in Kashf-ul-Ghita when, under pressure from the authorities, he says that he preaches and practices no abuse even if abused.

Here is an interesting contrast that shows his own awareness of this issue: He called Saadullah 'son of prostitution' in an Arabic poem (from 1890s) and translated it into Persian as it is in Arabic. Years later, when Mirza was gloating over the death of Saadullah, he left out the vile epithet in the Urdu translation -- not once, but twice:

Original with correct Persian translation. (Anjam-e-Atham, RK vol. 11, page 282):

You have pained me with filth and I would not be truthful

If you do not die in humiliation, O son of Prostitution

Then, on page 446 of the Appendix of Haqeeqat-ul-Wahi (RK, vol. 22), there is no mention of the offensive phrase in the translation:

And again on page 450 of the same, there is a longer translation, but no mention of the abusive phrase that is there in Arabic. Mirza mentions that the translations are his own.

Opponent's Wives

About Abdul Haq's wife:

"Ab Abdul Haq ko zaroor poochna chahiey ke uss ka wo mubahla ki barkat ka larka (boy) kahan gaya, kia andar hi andar pait me tahleel(disappear) pa gia ya phir rajaat qahqari(again) ker ke nutfa bun gia" (Roohani Khazain Volume 11, Page 311)

And again, "aur ab tak iss ( Abdul Haq ) ki aurat ke pait sei aik chooha bhi paida na hoa" (Roohani Khazain Volume 11, Page 311)

About Sa'adullah's wife:

"Khuda ne uss ki Biwi ke reham(bacha dani) per mohar laga di" (Roohani Khazain Volume.22, Page 444)

About General Muslims

• "Except for the CHILDREN OF PROSTITUTE, whose hearts have been sealed by God, everyone else believes in me and has accepted me." (Aina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam, Roohani Khazain vol.5 p.547)
• "God has revealed to me that anyone to whom my message has reached and he has not accepted me , he is not a muslim." (Letter of Mirza to Dr. Abdul Hakeem Khan Patialvi)
• "I have God’s inspiration that 'he who does not follow you and will not enter your Ba’ith and remain your opponent, he is disobedient of God and His Prophet, Hellish." (Advertisement in M’ayaar-ul-Akhyar by Mirza Ghulam p.8)
• "Thus remember as God has informed me, it is forbidden and absolutely forbidden to pray behind any disbeliever and hesitant; but is should be that your imam should be one of you." (Arba’een No 3, Roohani Khazain vol.17 p.417 footnote)
• Some one asked a question and Mirza has replied to it. Both are mentioned in his book, Haqeeqat-ul-Wahi. "Question: Huzoor-e-aali has mentioned in thousands of places that it is not at all right to call KAFIR a Kalima-go (one who recites a Kalima) and an Ahle-Qibla. It is quite obvious that except those Mo’mineen who become Kafir by rejecting you, just by not accepting you no one becomes a Kafir. But you write to Abdul Hakeem Khan that anyone who has recieved my message and he has not accepted me, he is not muslim. There is contradiction between this statement and the statements in previous books. Earlier in ‘Tiryaq-ul-Quloob’ etc. you had mentioned that no one becomes Kafir by not accepting you and now you are writing that ‘by rejecting me he becomes a Kafir.’ (Haqeeqat-ul-Wahi, Roohani Khazain vol.22 p.167)
• Muslim women were called 'bitches' (see Urdu text below)
• Muslim men are 'pigs of the jungle' (see Urdu text below)
• Muslim scholars are 'piles of excrement' (see Urdu text below)

Urdu text explaining the abuse (unknown writer):
