All religions of the world have foretold the coming of a Reformer in the Latter Days (the 20th century). Here are a few reminders from the Holy Quran.
Muslims are directed to pray for guidance to the path of the righteous and the blessed in their five daily prayers
The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings, those who have not incurred Thy displeasure, and those who have not gone astray. [The Holy Quran, 1:7]
What are the blessings God gives to His people?
And remember when Moses said to his people, ‘O my people, call to mind Allah’s favor upon you when He raised Prophets among you and made you kings, and gave you what He gave not to any other among the peoples. [The Holy Quran, 5:21]
As for those who say, ‘Our Lord is Allah;’ and then remain steadfast, the angels descend on them, reassuring them: ‘Fear not, nor grieve; and rejoice in the glad tidings of the Garden which you were promised. [The Holy Quran, 41:31]
Can Reformers appear after the Holy Prophet Muhammad (the Seal of the Prophets)? Yes- but only with the seal of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa).
And whoso obeys Allah and this Messenger shall be among those on whom Allah has bestowed His blessings – the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And an excellent company are they. [The Holy Quran, 4:70]
The Holy Quran describes two advents of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa).
He it is Who has raised among the unlettered people a Messenger from among themselves who recites unto them His Signs, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and Wisdom though before that they were in manifest error. [The Holy Quran, 62:3]
And He will raise him among others of them who have not yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise. [The Holy Quran, 62:4]
Note: The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) described that the Second Advent will be through his pupil/follower from among Salman Farsi’s people—Bukhari.
This reformer of the Latter Days has been named Ahmad
And call to mind when Jesus, son of Mary, said, ‘O children of Israel, surely, I am Allah’s Messenger unto you, fulfilling that which is before me of the prophecies of the Torah (about Muhammad), and giving glad tidings of a Messenger who will come after me, his name being Ahmad. And when he came to them with clear proofs, they said, this is manifest sorcery.’ But who does greater wrong than he who forges a lie against Allah while he is invited to Islam? Allah guides not the wrongdoing people. [The Holy Quran, 61:7-8]
Note: The Promised Messiah and Ahmadi Muslims were declared non-Muslims by the Pakistan National Assembly in 1974. The so-called on-Muslim clerics are “inviting” the Promised Messiah and his followers towards their Islam, thus fulfilling the Quranic prophecies.
The Promised Messiah will be mentioned as the Son of Mary
And when the son of Mary is mentioned as an instance, lo! thy people raise a clamor thereat. [The Holy Quran, 43:58]
Can he, then, who stands upon a clear proof from his Lord, and to testify to whose truth a witness from Him shall follow him, and who was preceded by the Book of Moses, a guide and a mercy, be an imposter? Those who are the true followers of Moses believe therein, and whoever of the opposing parties disbelieves in it, the Fire shall be his promised place. So be not thou, O reader, in doubt about it. Surely, it is the truth from thy Lord; but most men believe not. [The Holy Quran, 11:18]
A false reformer can never prosper.
And if he had forged and attributed any sayings to Us. [The Holy
Quran, 69:45]
We would, surely, have seized him by the right hand. [The Holy
Quran, 69:46]
And then, surely, We would have cut his life-vein. [The Holy Quran, 69:47]
And not one of you could have held Our punishment off from
him. [The Holy Quran, 69:48]
True reformers are always opposed.
Alas for y servants! there comes not a Messenger to them, but
they mock at him. [The Holy Quran, 36:31]
God Almighty always helps a true Reformer to be
triumphant.
Most surely, We help Our Messengers and those who believe, both in the present life and on the day when the witnesses will stand forth, [The Holy Quran, 40:52]
And those who take Allah and His Messenger and the believers for friends should rest assured that it is the party of Allah that must triumph. [The Holy Quran, 5:57]
Allah has decreed: ‘Most surely, I will prevail, I and My Messengers.’ Verily, Allah is Powerful, Mighty. [The Holy Quran, 58:22]
