Similarities between the allegations raised against Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmed (AS) and Prophet Muhammad (saw)

Holy Qur'an records:
"And indeed we know that they say that it is only a man who teaches him. (But) the tongue of him towards whom (their minds) incline (in making this insinuation) is foreign while this is Arabic (tongue) plain and clear." (Holy Quran, 16:104) 

"And those who disbelieve say, 'It is naught but a lie which he has forged and other people have helped him with it.' Indeed they have perpetrated a (great) injustice and a (great) falsehood. And they say, '(These are) fables of the ancient; (and) he has got them written down, and they are read out to him morning and evening." (Holy Quran, 25:5-6)

These verses are referring to the allegation of the disbelievers that the Christian and Jewish slaves who have been converted to Islam had secretly helped Holy Prophet (saw) in compiling the Qur'an and hence there is a foreign hand behind this conspiracy. Such allegations are raised even today by anti-Muslim forces against the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw).

Similar allegations have been raised against the Ahmadiyya Muslim community by the opponents. Firstly Ahmadi Muslims were alleged to have been helped by Hindus. Ehsan Elahi Zaheer, one of bitter enemies of the Ahmadiyya movement wrote:

"Hindus supported the Ahmadi cause through pen, press and platform" (Zaheer, E.E., "Qadiyyaniat. An Analytical Survey, p6.)

How much that help was could be understood by any person by the prophecies of Promised Messiah (AS) about Pundit Lekh Ram and the prayer duels as well as open debates held by Promised Messiah (AS) with Ariyya Smajists. Secondly an equally absurd and unsubstantiated charge against Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at is the theory of British sponsorship. Nearly every hostile witness alleges that the Ahmadiyya Jama'at owes its foundation, existence and success to the Imperial British Government [Naeem Osman Memon, "Ahmadiyya or Qadianism! Islam or Apostasy?" Islam International Publications Ltd, Islamabad Tilford England, (1989) p41.]. While the message of the founder of this Jama'at to the British Queen is recorded in Ayenae Kamalat e Islam which ends in the following words:

"O' Queen of the earth! accept Islam and thou wilt be safe. Be a Muslim. God will provide for thee till the last day and he will save thee and protect thee from thine enemy." (Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS), "Ayenae Kamalat e Islam: Roohani Khazain", p533-534.)

Thirdly Ahmadis are alleged to have been helped by Jews just as the Holy Prophet (saw) was alleged:

"Jews helped the Ahmadis academically and equipped them with arguments and self manufactured documents against the accepted principles of Islam" (Zaheer, E.E., "Qadiyyaniat. An Analytical Survey, p6.)

Further allegation raised against Holy Prophet (saw) is recorded in the holy Qur'an as :

"And those who disbelieve say, 'Why was not Qur'an revealed to him all at once? (We have revealed it) in this manner that We may strengthen thy heart therewith. And we have arranged it in the best form." (Holy Quran, 25:33)

The above does not seem to be any different from the allegation raised against the Promised Messiah (AS) by the opponents by saying that why did Promised Messiah (AS) not advance all the claims at once? Why did he first claim to be Mujaddid, then Muhadith then Mahdi and then Messiah? And a similar answer is given that it was necessary to strengthen the Promised Messiah's own heart about his mission and thus he laid claims to the status's whenever Allah informed him and commanded him to do that.
