Which prophecies of Jesus (as) have been fulfilled according to the understanding of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat?

Two are especially clear. According to the Holy Qur’an, Jesus (as) foretold a messenger named Ahmad, and he linked his second coming with signs in the sun and the moon, which took place in Ramadan in 1894.

The interpretation of prophecies is always debated, so none of them can be forced on others as compelling proof. Yet whoever reads them without prejudice will recognise a clear and balanced pattern in some of them.

According to the first verse above, Jesus (as) foretold a messenger whose name would be Ahmad. Elsewhere the Holy Qur’an says that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) had already been foretold in the Torah. So two names stand side by side. Moses (as) foretold Muhammad, and Jesus (as) foretold Ahmad. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat understands it this way: just as Jesus (as) came in the later days of the community of Moses (as), so in the later days of the community of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) someone comes to whom the promise of Ahmad refers. What Jesus (as) was to Moses (as), he is to the Holy Prophet (saw).

The second prophecy concerns the heavens. Jesus (as) linked his second coming with a time when the moon would be darkened and the sun would lose its light. The same language is found in the verses above, where the sun is joined with the darkened moon. An old tradition about the Mahdi, known among Muslims, makes this precise. In Ramadan the moon is to be eclipsed on the first of its possible eclipse nights, and the sun on the middle of its possible eclipse days.

That is exactly what happened in 1894, when the moon was eclipsed on the 13th and the sun on the 28th of Ramadan. By then Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), the Promised Messiah, had already declared that he was the awaited Messiah and Mahdi. So prophecies of Jesus (as) and the expectations of Muslims were fulfilled in him together.
