Pandit Lekh Ram From WikiAhmadiyya, the free encyclopedia on Islam and Ahmadiyyat ![]() Pandit Lekh Ram (1858-1897) was a leader of the Arya Samaj religion and a vicious opponent of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. He repeatedly wrote derogatory abuse against the prophet of Islam, Muhammadsa, as well as publishing defamatory statements against the character of Ahmad. Lekh Ram even went so far as to 'prophecise' Ahmad would be killed by 1889 (he lived to 1908) and demanded Ahmad offer a sign. Ahmad responded to Ram's abuse of Muhammadsa by meeting his demand for a sign . In 1893, he foretold Ram would meet an unusual punishment from God by 1899, close to the day of the Eid festival:
Ram replied by attacking Islam once more:
However Ahmad's prophecy was fulfilled when Ram was murdered in his house during the Eid festival of 1897 by a man Ram had converted from Islam to his own Arya Samaj beliefs. Despite a large number of people being in and around the house at the time, the convert was never apprehended or seen again. The British police of India investigated the affair and Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his followers were entirely exonerated of any wrongdoing in the affair. See also |
