Ahle Sunnat have been following one of the four imams for about a thousand years. If you ask any sunni about the differences among these imams, they will say that those differences do not matter, as they are only the furoo. This reply is ok. Because in the absence of a divine person, it is reasonable to do ijtehad, just like those four imams did.
It is obvious that each one of them went wrong SOMEWHERE. They did the best they could, but only one ruling can be correct at one time, and hence the three are wrong, even if we can not decide which one is correct and which one is not.

However, if we have someone claiming to be in contact with God then his first and one of the most important task should be get rid the ummah of this confusion, and tell everyone in clear terms where each of the four imams went wrong.

This is important because these rulings have severe implications on people's lives and society in general, as anyone can imagine.

Mirza wrote one book after another to explain how he is the Promised Messiah, Imam Mahdi, Prophet's Image, etc. I am looking at a single book he might have written which combines the rulings of four imams, and thus tell the true rulings of Islam.

Thanks.
