Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad – Khalifatul Masih IV argued in his magnum opus Revelation, Rationality, Knowledge & Truth
that Socrates was a prophet of the ancient Greeks. The apparent
prophetic qualities of Socrates are even today, a subject for academic
debate [1]. His constant reference to the oracle and how it
performs the active function of a moral compass by preventing him from
unseemly acts could easily be taken as a reference to - or substitute
for revelation. Similarly, Socrates often refers to God in the singular
as opposed to the plural and actively rejected the Greek pantheon of
Gods and Goddesses unless citing them as examples of their falseness.
