**Topics:** Ahmadiyya and false messiahs; Prophethood and miracles

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was born in 1839 in Punjab. Mufti Abu Layth argues that God intervening in an age of colonial suffering by merely talking to one man in Punjabi, with nothing changing, is not a credible divine plan.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth says he will share the emails anyway, then turns to explaining who Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian was, showing a printed photograph and remarking repeatedly on his looks. He says he was born in 1839 in Punjab. He recounts an exchange with a convert to Ahmadiyya who said she believed God spoke to Mirza, and that he asked whether she really believed God spoke to him in Punjabi. He then puts his argument: in an age of colonialism, mass killing and the plunder of resources, the idea that God would break the laws of nature and intervene in free will by having a chat with a man in Punjabi, with no change following, is not a credible divine plan. The segment ends with an extended comparison of Mirza's photograph with a social-media personality known for photoshopped pictures, which Mufti says is not an insult because Mirza later claimed to be an incarnation of Krishna.
