(Pun­

Messiah and Mahdi" Ghulam Ahmad (whom see) and leader of the Rabwah (Qaqianl) faction of the Ahmadiyya movement, contains only a few passages of interest here. The first, pp.27-9, deals with Islamic prophecy, Jesus, he says, was sent "only to estab­ lish the Law revealed through Moses", "No doubt some of the say­ ings and teachings of Jesus are said to be different from the teachings of the Torah, but if we carefully study the Torah we can discover in it the basis of all that Jesus taught," (.Note the difference between this and the orthodox Islamic position, that Jesus himself was a lawgiver,) The Promised Messiah, like Jesus, was a prophet, but affirmed rather the Islamic dispensa­ tion. (It was on this point that the factional split in the Ahmadiyya movement developed.)

The second passage, pp,l84-6, says that the Promised Messiah has fulfilled the test which Jesus gave in Matt. 7, 1520, and is not a false prophet.
