First claim of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani:

“This verse indicates the glorious coming of Hadrat Masih… And Hadrat Masih, may peace be upon him, would descend to the world with great glory and would cleanse all paths and roads of rubbish…” (Barahin-e-Ahmadia part 4, Ruhani khazain vol. 1, page 601-602)

So you can see in the beginning, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad asserted that Isa (AS) would return and had not passed away. In fact, his claim seemed to suggest that he (Mirza) was giving a soft warning, and when Isa (AS) comes, he would be harsh. This implies that there were two distinct individuals and not the same person. It also implies that Mirza had a different role from that of Isa (AS).

Second claim:

“Isa (AS) died in his country, Galilee” (Izala-e-Auham part 2, Ruhani Khazain vol. 3, page 353)

Here, we see that in 1891, when he first claimed to be the Messiah, he also claimed that Isa (AS) was buried in Galilee. This marks a significant departure from his earlier claim, as it shows that he was now asserting that he was fulfilling the role of Isa (AS) ,whereas initially he claimed that the Massiah was Isa(AS) himself and that they were different individualds.

Third claim:

“The grave of Isa is also in Syria” (Itmamul hujjah, Ruhani Khazian vol. 8, page. 296)

In 1894, he then claimed that the grave of Isa (AS) is in Syria–shifting the previously stated burial location from Galilee to Syria.

Fourth Claim:

“And his (Isa’s) grave is present in Srinagar.” (Ruhani Khazian, vol. 18 p. 361)

By 1902, he claimed that the grave of Isa (AS) is in Kashmir, specifically in Srinagar. Again, this was a completely different location from his previous two claims.

Conclusion:

If he were a true prophet and had been receiving divine revelation, why would his claims so often? If he were speaking the truth, all his claims would have been consistent. The truth does not change– and a true prophet is always revealed the truth.
