The concept of Mubahalah (prayer duel) is deeply rooted in Islamic tradition, where parties who hold opposing beliefs invoke Allah’s curse upon the liars among them as a decisive proof of truth. Several incidents of Mubahalah during the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), his successors (Khulafa), the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), and his Khulafa demonstrate divine support and victory for truth. Below are notable examples:

Mubahalah During the Time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

1. Mubahalah with the Christians of Najran
•Incident: In 10 AH, a delegation of Christians from Najran visited Medina to debate with the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) regarding the divinity of Jesus (peace be upon him). After lengthy discussions, the Prophet (SAW) invited them to a Mubahalah, where each side would pray for Allah’s curse upon the liars.
•Outcome: When the Christians saw the Prophet (SAW) arriving with his family (Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Fatimah, Hazrat Hasan, and Hazrat Husayn), they withdrew, acknowledging the Prophet’s truthfulness, and agreed to pay Jizyah (a tax for protection).
•Source: (Surah Aal-e-Imran: 61)

2. Mubahalah with Abdullah ibn Ubayy
•Incident: Abdullah ibn Ubayy, a hypocrite, repeatedly spread slander against the Prophet (SAW) and Islam. The Prophet (SAW) offered Mubahalah as a challenge to expose his lies, but Abdullah withdrew, fearing the consequences.
•Outcome: Abdullah’s failure to accept the Mubahalah was seen as a divine indication of his guilt.

Mubahalah During the Time of the Rightly Guided Caliphs

3. Mubahalah with Persian Opponents
•Incident: During the caliphate of Hazrat Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA), some Persian leaders refused to acknowledge the message of Islam and mocked its teachings. Hazrat Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (RA), a commander, engaged them in Mubahalah.
•Outcome: The opponents faced immediate divine chastisement, including losses in battles like Qadisiyyah, affirming Allah’s support for the Muslims.

Mubahalah During the Time of the Promised Messiah (AS)

4. Mubahalah with Atham
•Opponent: Abdullah Atham, a Christian missionary.
•Incident: In 1893, the Promised Messiah (AS) engaged in a public debate with Atham. When Atham accused Islam of falsehood, the Promised Messiah challenged him to a Mubahalah, praying for divine judgment.
•Outcome: Atham initially accepted but later expressed fear and retracted. He faced humiliation, while the Promised Messiah (AS) emerged victorious, further evidenced by Atham’s prolonged silence and subsequent demise under circumstances perceived as divine chastisement.

5. Mubahalah with Lekh Ram
•Opponent: Lekh Ram, a prominent Arya Samaj leader.
•Incident: Lekh Ram repeatedly insulted the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and challenged the Promised Messiah (AS). A Mubahalah was invoked, and the Promised Messiah prophesied Lekh Ram’s death within six years.
•Outcome: Lekh Ram was brutally killed on March 6, 1897, exactly as prophesied, fulfilling the challenge and demonstrating divine judgment.

6. Mubahalah with Dowie
•Opponent: Dr. John Alexander Dowie, an American Christian preacher.
•Incident: Dowie claimed to be a prophet and made inflammatory remarks about Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The Promised Messiah (AS) challenged him to a Mubahalah.
•Outcome: Dowie faced disgrace, financial ruin, and death in 1907 after suffering a severe stroke, fulfilling the prophecy of his downfall.
Mubahalah During the Time of Khulafa of the Promised Messiah (AS)

7. Mubahalah with Maulvi Sanaullah Amritsari
•Khalifa: Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) initiated it, followed by his successors.
•Incident: Sanaullah repeatedly slandered the Promised Messiah (AS) and challenged his claims. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) prayed for divine judgment, and the challenge continued during the time of his Khulafa.
•Outcome: Sanaullah eventually distanced himself from the challenge, and his opposition dwindled over time, with his influence significantly reduced.

8. Mubahalah with Opponents of Khilafat
•Khalifa: Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad (RA)
•Incident: During the anti-Ahmadiyya riots in 1974, opponents of the Jama’at openly mocked the Khilafat and challenged its truthfulness. Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad (RA) invoked Allah’s judgment upon the liars.
•Outcome: Many prominent opponents faced humiliation, disgrace, and divine retribution, including the political downfall of leaders who had led the movement against Ahmadis.

9. Mubahalah Against Opponents of the Jama’at
•Khalifa: Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (ABA)
•Incident: Challenges of Mubahalah have been extended to various opponents who spread falsehood against the Ahmadiyya community.
•Outcome: In several instances, opponents have suffered clear signs of divine chastisement, reinforcing the community’s belief in Allah’s support.

Significance of Mubahalah

These incidents demonstrate the power of truth and divine support throughout Islamic history. In every era, Allah has shown His support for His chosen servants through clear signs, humiliating falsehood, and exalting truth, reinforcing the message of Islam and its divine authenticity.

Mubahalah and the Persecution Under General Zia-ul-Haq (Modern Context)

10. Persecution of Ahmadis and General Zia-ul-Haq
•Opponent: General Zia-ul-Haq, the military dictator of Pakistan (1977–1988), initiated state-sponsored persecution of Ahmadis under Ordinance XX in 1984. This law criminalized Ahmadis’ religious practices, including identifying as Muslims, saying the Kalima, or calling their places of worship “mosques.”
•Incident: Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (RA), the fourth Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, prayed for divine judgment during Zia-ul-Haq’s oppressive rule. The situation effectively became a form of Mubahalah, as Zia repeatedly justified his actions in the name of religion and sought to destroy the Jama’at.

Outcome of Divine Judgment:
•Zia-ul-Haq died in a mysterious plane crash on August 17, 1988, along with his top military and intelligence officials. The cause of the crash remains unsolved, and many viewed this as divine chastisement.
•Following his death, his anti-Ahmadi policies began to lose momentum internationally, and the community continued to grow despite ongoing challenges.

This incident is considered a striking modern example of divine intervention akin to a Mubahalah, where oppressive leaders or opponents of truth face humiliating and unexpected ends, affirming Allah’s support for the righteous. The Ahmadiyya Jama’at interprets this as a sign of Allah’s protection for the community, just as He protected the early Muslims and the Promised Messiah (AS) in their times of persecution and prayer duels.

The 313 Companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW):

The 313 companions of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) are famously remembered as the participants of the Battle of Badr, the first significant battle in Islamic history. This battle took place in 624 CE and is regarded as a turning point for Islam. The companions who participated in this battle are known as “Badriyyun” (People of Badr).

Who Were These 313 Companions?

While the exact list of names is extensive, some of the prominent companions who participated include:
1.Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (RA)
2.Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA)
3.Uthman ibn Affan (RA)
4.Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA)
5.Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib (RA)
6.Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (RA)
7.Bilal ibn Rabah (RA)
8.Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (RA)
9.Miqdad ibn Aswad (RA)
10.Abu Hudhayfa ibn Utbah (RA)

The participants were selected not because of their military experience or numbers but because of their faith and steadfastness in Islam. They were outnumbered by the Quraysh (approximately 1,000) but achieved a decisive victory with the help of Allah.

Another Historical Figure with 313 Companions:

The number 313 is also associated with Prophet Talut (King Saul), as mentioned in the Qur’an (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:249). Talut led an army of 313 soldiers to confront the much larger forces of Goliath (Jalut). Despite being outnumbered and facing great odds, Talut’s army was victorious, as their faith and reliance on Allah outweighed their lack of numbers.

Similarities Between the Two Groups:
1.Faith Over Numbers:
•Both groups faced significantly larger and better-equipped enemies but relied on their unshakable faith in Allah to achieve victory.
•Talut’s companions were tested by drinking from a river, and only those who passed the test remained (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:249). Similarly, the companions of Badr were tested through trials of faith and hardships.
2.Divine Assistance:
•Allah’s help was evident in both cases. For Talut’s army, Allah gave them the strength to overcome Goliath. For the Badriyyun, angels descended to assist them in the Battle of Badr.
3.Leaders Appointed by Allah:
•Talut was chosen by Allah as a king and leader for his people. Similarly, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was the divinely appointed leader and guide for his companions.
4.Turning Points in History:
•Talut’s victory marked a significant moment in the history of the Israelites, leading to the eventual establishment of Prophet Dawud’s (David’s) kingdom. The victory at Badr marked the beginning of the Muslim community’s strength and influence in Arabia.
5.Lessons in Obedience and Sacrifice:
•Both groups demonstrated remarkable obedience to their leaders and willingness to sacrifice everything for the cause of Allah.

Significance:

The stories of these two groups serve as eternal lessons in how faith, discipline, and reliance on Allah can overcome any odds, inspiring Muslims to uphold these values in their own lives.
Another Group of 313: The Companions of Imam Mahdi (AS):

In Islamic eschatology, it is prophesied that Imam Mahdi (AS), the guided one, will appear in the end times to establish justice and truth on Earth. According to traditions in both Sunni and Shia sources, Imam Mahdi (AS) will have 313 close companions, who will act as his core supporters and advisers.

Details About the 313 Companions of Imam Mahdi (AS):
1.Character and Faith:
•These individuals will be the most pious, devoted, and righteous people of their time, chosen by Allah for their unwavering faith and steadfastness.
•They are described as people of deep wisdom, knowledge, and courage who will stand firm against falsehood and oppression.
2.Global Representation:
•According to some narrations, the 313 companions will come from diverse parts of the world, symbolizing the universality of Imam Mahdi’s mission.
•They will unite under the banner of justice and equality.
3.Role in the Mission:
•The 313 companions will form the nucleus of Imam Mahdi’s army and assist him in his mission to establish a global system of justice and eradicate tyranny.

Similarities Between the Three Groups of 313:
1.Divine Selection:
•All three groups—the companions of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) at Badr, the companions of Prophet Talut (AS), and the companions of Imam Mahdi (AS)—are chosen by Allah for their faith, obedience, and moral excellence.
2.Facing Great Odds:
•Each group confronts overwhelming forces of oppression, demonstrating that faith in Allah and steadfastness outweigh numbers or material strength.
3.Turning Points in History:
•Each group’s actions mark significant historical or eschatological shifts: the Battle of Badr strengthened Islam, Talut’s victory established a prophetic kingdom, and Imam Mahdi’s companions are prophesied to help usher in an era of justice and peace.
4.Leadership Under Divine Guidance:
•All three groups are united under leaders appointed by Allah: Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Prophet Talut (AS), and Imam Mahdi (AS).

Spiritual Lessons:

These groups of 313 emphasize that success and victory are not dependent on worldly power or numbers but on unwavering faith, divine guidance, and steadfast commitment to justice and truth. They serve as role models for believers in all times.
In Islamic history, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835–1908), the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, claimed to be the Imam Mahdi and the Promised Messiah prophesied in various Islamic traditions. He also claimed to fulfill the role of the Mahdi with a group of 313 devoted companions, mirroring the prophetic traditions.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as Imam Mahdi:
1.Claim of Being the Mahdi and Messiah:
•In 1889, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad announced his claim to be the Promised Messiah (Isa ibn Maryam’s spiritual return) and Imam Mahdi, prophesied to appear in the latter days to revive Islam, establish justice, and unite humanity under the banner of truth.
2.313 Companions:
•The Ahmadiyya Community lists the 313 early companions of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad who pledged allegiance to him through Bai‘at (an oath of allegiance) when the community was first established.
•These individuals were among the earliest followers who accepted his claim, supported his mission, and sacrificed their time, wealth, and efforts to spread his message.
3.Historical Record of 313 Companions:
•The names of these 313 companions are documented in the early history of the Ahmadiyya Community. They hailed from diverse backgrounds, reflecting a global representation of his message.
•They were committed to promoting his teachings of non-violence, spiritual reform, and the revival of true Islam.

Similarities with Other Groups of 313:
1.Faith and Devotion:
