Ahmadiyya Movement in, or against, Islam?
The "Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam" (called by
Muslims everywhere as
"Qadianism") was established, in 1889, by Mirza Ghulam Qadiani (1835
- 1908) in a small Punjabi village of India. Mirza Ghulam Qadiani’s family
were in the service of the British colonial powers and, to his dying days,
Mirza Ghulam openly declared his allegiance to the British imperialism. In
fact, the culmination of his service to foreign power was his declaration
that resistance to oppressors
(Jihad) -- as ordained
in the Holy Quran by God -- had
become unIslamic!
Mirza Ghulam Qadiani’s life was laden with contradictory and anti-Islamic
claims. In 1880, he declared himself to be only a Muslim writer; in 1885,
he announced he was a revivalist (Mujaddid); in 1891, he claimed to be the
Promised Mehdi and the Promised Messiah; and in 1901, he pronounced himself
a prophet of God! Facing an open and strong opposition by Muslim Scholars
and religious leaders for this blasphemous declaration and other teachings
which belittled Jesus
Christ(pbuh)
and contradicted the Quranic revelations, he also announced that he was the
second and improved coming of the Prophet
Muhammad(SAW)
with authority to reinterpret the Holy Quran at his pleasure! Not happy with
mere prophethood, in 1904, he declared himself the Krishna (the Hindu Lord).
Obviously, like an unethical modern-day politician, he was trying to appeal
to all uneducated segments of the public in India!
Fortunately, the Almighty
Allah(SWT),
time and time again, exposed Mirza Ghulam Qadiani's falsehood through his
own statements and so-called prophecies. Even many of his own family members
were aware of his treachery and openly opposed his anti-Islamic teachings.
Mirza Ghulam Qadiani finally died by intervention of the Almighty Allah and
as the result of religious prayer challenges
(Mubahala), in 1908.
Since the death of Mirza Ghulam Qadiani, his heirs -- the leaders of the
Qadiani organization ("Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam") -- have been
extremely busy trying to clean up his image. Backed by seemingly unlimited
support they receive from their anti-Muslim allies, they have been promoting
falsehood and deception through the media. They have even resorted to removing
some of most controversial writings of Qadiani leadership -- which had become
a source of embarrassment to them -- from circulation. Their partial English
translation of their original text has been heavily edited to exclude all
controversial and anti-Islamic sayings of their cult leaders. Obviously,
they themselves realize the true nature of their "Ahmadiyya
Mission".
The goal of the "Ahmadiyya Mission" is, and has always been, to confuse
uninformed Muslims, divide the
Ummah, prevent resistance
to oppressors (Jihad),
and provide an alternative to non-Muslims who find the message of Islam
appealing. Quite cunningly, they do so by using Islamic terminology and
teachings, and hiding the controversial writings of their founders. Today,
only the most learned Muslims are able to attend one of their functions and
realize that their brand of Islam is a form of
Kufr (disbelief). Even
when their leaders mention the
Kalima (I bear witness
there is only one God and Muhammad is his messenger), they are referring
to their founder who proclaimed himself to be (God forbid) the second
improved coming of the prophet
Muhammad(SAW) and
not to the true
Prophet(SAW) of
Allah(SWT).
Muslim brethren everywhere should not be confused by Qadiani leadership's
superficial use of Islamic concepts to promote their cult. Our beloved Prophet
Muhammad(SAW) and
the four Khalifah also faced
such false prophets. Of particular interest is the claim by an Arab, named
Musailama, to prophethood, during the latter part of the life of the
Prophet(SAW).
Although he simply claimed co-prophethood with the Prophet
Muhammad(SAW) of
Arabia and did not belie any other teaching of the Holy Quran, he and all of
his mislead followers were declared out of the fold of Islam, by righteous believers.
Under the leadership of Hadrat Abu Bakr
Siddique(RA)
and with the unanimous consensus of all the companions of the Prophet
Muhammad(SAW), a
victorious war was waged against Musailama for using Islamic concepts and
claiming prophethood. This should indeed be sufficient evidence to declare
the Qadianis as non-Muslims.
In 1974, after an exhaustive examination of all the evidence presented for
and against the Qadianis, the Muslim World League (Rabita Alame Islami)
-- which represents all religious scholars from every Muslim country of the
world -- passed an unanimous resolution declaring the Qadiani
Movement and its leadership out of
the fold of Islam. Indeed, "Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam" is a man-made
organization with no divine authority or guidance.
Say: "O ye men! Now Truth hath reached you from your Lord! those who receive
guidance, do so for the good of their own souls; those who stray, do so to
their own loss: and I am not (set) over you to arrange your affairs."
(The Holy Quran, Yunus, 10:108) |
May Allah(SWT) expose
the falsehood of the Qadiani leadership and show its unfortunate followers
the path to the perfected and completed religion of Allah: Al-Islam.
