عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُبْعَثَ دَجَّالُونَ كَذَّابُونَ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ كُلُّهُمْ يَزْعَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The Hour will not be established until thirty such Dajjals and liars appear, each of whom will claim that he is the Messenger of Allah.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the Seal of the Prophets; after him, no prophet has come nor will come, and anyone who makes such a claim will be deemed a liar, a fabricator, and a deceiver (dajjal). It should be kept in mind that this hadith does not refer to those claimants of prophethood who made a general claim to prophethood, for there have been many such individuals. The twenty-seven or thirty liars mentioned in the ahadith refer to those wretched ones who, due to their claim, gained prestige and grandeur, and even began to have real doubts about their own prophethood, and a considerable number of people joined them. The case of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani is an example of this.

Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah says: Among those dajjals who claimed prophethood is Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani al-Hindi, who, during the period of British colonial rule in India, claimed that he was the Mahdi, then presented himself as Isa alayhis salam, and eventually claimed prophethood. Many ignorant people, lacking knowledge of the Qur’an and Sunnah, followed him. I met such individuals from India and Syria who believed in his prophethood. I had many debates and discussions with them, including one written debate. In these debates, their claim was that their belief is that after the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, many prophets will come, and among them is Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. In the beginning, they tried to mislead and distract, and attempted to divert from the main topic of the debate. But I rejected their tricks and remained firm on the main subject. Thus, they suffered a humiliating defeat, and the attendees realized that this is a people devoted to falsehood.

Some of their other beliefs are also false and contrary to the consensus (ijma‘) of the Ummah. For example: denying bodily resurrection and claiming that Paradise and Hell pertain only to the soul, not the body; that the punishment given to disbelievers will eventually cease; that jinn do not exist, and that the jinn mentioned in the Noble Qur’an are in reality a group of humans.

When these people find a verse of the Qur’an contrary to their beliefs, they interpret it in an unacceptable and rejected manner, just like the Batiniyyah and Qaramitah, which are deviant sects. For this reason, the British used to support and assist them against the Muslims. Mirza Qadiani used to say that it is forbidden (haram) for Muslims to fight against the British. I have authored several books in refutation of them, in which I have clarified that this sect is outside the community of Muslims (Jama‘at al-Muslimin). They should be studied. (Sahihah: 1683)
