It's fascinating to me, as a English Muslim with a Christian background, how the early 19th century was a hotpot of religious zeal with many groups actively preparing and awaiting the Messiah. Was this upsurge of spirituality because in this century the Messiah did appear and all the prophecies were fulfilled by the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community who made his claim in 1889 and now his followers exist allover the world.

"He neither begets nor is born," "Nor is there to Him any equivalent." (QS. Al-Ikhlaas 112). Quran doesnt changed until end of time and God promise to preserved it in originality, in Arab language, and ofcourse with translation, and the other side mostly the bible has been changed, edited, added, deleted, but some of the words are from God original, that Jesus as prophet said to the folower, view of them are : Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! Mark 12:29 Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; Mark 12:32 The scribe said to Him, “Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that He is One, and there is no one else besides Him Galatians 3:20 Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one. but mostly cristian dont care, they just interprete as they want to, not being sincere. a clear message become ilogically be intrepreted. but stil some cristian that being sincere, and truely asking for guidence from God, indeed they revert to the Oneness of God, come back to islam.

Thank you for bringing this history and sharing it with truth . I can't imagine how a white person had to keep it a secret and struggle through his journey .

Very interesting. The name Reschid is French for RASHID. Meaning, it is a French spelling for North African Muslim name. I see some connections, perhaps, with North African Sufi Orders e.g. Alawiyya, Darqawiyya and the rest. That's how I see it. But what is interesting is that of Sir Richard Francis Burton, who only disguised as Muslim but died Christian. I am not sure if this might be connected to some Western mysticism and Freemasonry. But Robert was certainly Muslim. Did he have titles like Sidi, or Shaykh, or Maulay etc? In my opnion, Robert and his group were somehow connected with some North African Sufi Orders.

@Elisha Muslims don't accept the bible, so using it has no avail, or very little in the bigger picture. That said, we accept he is the Messiah and we accept his second coming, in fact if I'm not mistaken our master Jesus (may he be blessed) is mentioned 25 time in the Quran, and the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) only 4 times.....Muhammad (peace be upon him) comes with the Quran but talks more about jesus than himself..... It's about the message.

When you look at Islam with an open mind it's impossible for it not to make sense to you. If you are logical you will see the truth but if you are ignorant you will not be able to see the logical points.
