Some Muslims allege that since Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (AS) lied that the following hadith exists in Bukhari, he cannot be a Messiah sent by Allah.

…those ahadith of Şahih al-Bukhāri foretelling the appearance of Khulafa’ in the Latter Days, especially that khalifah about whom it is recorded in Şahih al-Bukhari that, for him, a voice will descend from heaven: هذا خَلِيفَةُ اللَّهِ الْمَهْدِي [This is God’s Khalifah, the Guided One]. Now consider the status and credibility of this hadith-which is recorded in the most authentic of books after the Book of Allah. On the other hand, the hadith that has been presented by the critic has been criticized by the ulema on many grounds and its authenticity has been questioned.

[Testimony of the Holy Quran, pg. 66]

In this article, we will show how this argument declares all the prophets of Allah as false.

Refutation

Can Prophets make mistakes?

Anti-Ahmadis showcase their ignorance of basic Islamic principles with these allegations. This allegation on Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) is actually an allegation on the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) as he too made humanly mistakes in day to day matters. If an accidental misquoting of a hadith to a different book makes one a false Messiah, then same must be said about the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), and other Prophets of Allah.

Adam (AS)

وَلَقَدۡ عَہِدۡنَاۤ اِلٰۤی اٰدَمَ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ فَنَسِیَ وَلَمۡ نَجِدۡ لَہٗ عَزۡمًا

And verily, We had made a covenant with Adam beforehand, but he forgot, and We found in him no determination to disobey.

[Quran 20:115]

Muhammad (SAW)

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ : لَا أَدْرِي زَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ ، قِيلَ لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ ، قَالَ : وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ قَالُوا : صَلَّيْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَثَنَى رِجْلَيْهِ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ ، قَالَ : إِنَّهُ لَوْ حَدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ لَنَبَّأْتُكُمْ بِهِ ، وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ ، فَإِذَا نَسِيتُ فَذَكِّرُونِي ، وَإِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَتَحَرَّى الصَّوَابَ ، فَلْيُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمْ ، ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ سَجْدَتَيْنِ .

Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet prayed (and the sub-narrator Ibrahim said, I do not know whether he prayed more or less than usual ), and when he had finished the prayers he was asked, O Allah’s Apostle! Has there been any change in the prayers? He said, What is it?’ The people said, You have prayed so much and so much. So the Prophet bent his legs, faced the Qibla and performed two prostration’s (of Sahu) and finished his prayers with Taslim (by turning his face to right and left saying: ‘As-Salamu `Alaikum- Warahmat-ullah’). When he turned his face to us he said, If there had been anything changed in the prayer, surely I would have informed you but I am a human being like you and liable to forget like you. So if I forget remind me and if anyone of you is doubtful about his prayer, he should follow what he thinks to be correct and complete his prayer accordingly and finish it and do two prostrations (of Sahu).

[Sahih al-Bukhari 401]

Ahmad (AS): No Mahdi in Bukhari

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) has already mentioned in multiple books that Mahdi is not mentioned in Bukhari and Muslim.

• Izala Auham (1891): No Mahdi
• Testimony of the Holy Quran (1893): “This is God’s Khalifah, the Guided One”
• Haqiqatul Mahdi (1899): No Mahdi

This clearly shows that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) has mistakenly attributed the hadith to Bukhari and such humanly mistakes are normal for even the prophets to do.

Sunni Scholars attribute the same narration to Bukhari

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) mistakenly attributed the hadith to Bukhari, just like many other scholars of Islam had done the same. It is possible that all of them quoted this hadith from Kanzul Ummal or another scholarly book which had a similar mistake.

Qari Muhammad Tayyab, son of Qasim Nanotvi, who is the founder of the Deobandi sect says:

مہدی علیہ السلام کے بارے میں کچھ علامتیں آئی ہیں ۔ مثلاً یہ کہ مہدی علیہ السلام کا مکہ مکرمہ میں ظہور ہو گا۔ اور یہ حدیث صحیح بخاری شریف میں موجود ہے کہ غیب سے آواز آئے گی اور وہ آواز یہ ہوگی ۔ هَذَا خَلِيفَةُ اللَّهِ الْمَهْدِي فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَأَطِيعُوهُ ۔ یعنی یہ اللہ کے خلیفہ مہدی ہیں ان کی بات مانو اور ان کی اطاعت کرو ۔

There are some signs regarding the Mahdi, peace be upon him. For example, that the Mahdi, peace be upon him, will appear in Mecca. And this hadith is present in Sahih Bukhari Sharif that a voice will come from the unseen, and that voice will be: ‘This is Allah’s Caliph, the Mahdi, so follow him and obey him.‘ Meaning, this is Allah’s Caliph, the Mahdi – listen to him and obey him.

[Majalis i Hakeem ul Islam]

What is the source of this Hadith?

Lastly, this hadith is a famous narration found in multiple ahadith book. It is not made up by the Promised Messiah (AS).

أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يُوسُفَ الْعَدْلُ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، أَنْبَأَ خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الرَّايَاتِ السُّودَ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ قِبَلِ خُرَاسَانَ فَأْتُوهَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا، فَإِنَّ فِيهَا خَلِيفَةَ اللَّهِ الْمَهْدِيَّ» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ، وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ “

Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When you see that an army carrying black flags has emerged from the direction of Khorasan, then you must join them because in that army is the Caliph of Allah, Mahdi.

** This Hadith is Sahih (authentic) according to the criteria of Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) and Imam Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him), but the two Sheikhs (may Allah have mercy on them) did not narrate it.

[Mustadrak Al Hakim 8531]

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَرُومَةَ، ثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَقْتَتِلُ عِنْدَ كَنْزِكُمْ ثَلَاثَةٌ كُلُّهُمُ ابْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، ثُمَّ لَا يَصِيرُ إِلَى وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ، ثُمَّ تَطْلُعُ الرَّايَاتُ السُّودُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ فَيُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ قِتَالًا لَمْ يُقَاتِلْهُ قَوْمٌ – ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ – إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَبَايِعُوهُ وَلَوْ حَبْوًا عَلَى الثَّلْجِ، فَإِنَّهُ خَلِيفَةُ اللَّهِ الْمَهْدِيُّ» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ “” [التعليق – من تلخيص الذهبي] 8432 – على شرط البخاري ومسلم

Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Three people, all of them sons of Caliphs, will fight over your treasure, but none of them will acquire it. Then, black banners will emerge from the east, and they will fight you in a way that no nation has ever fought before.” He (the Prophet) mentioned some other things then said: “When you see him (the one with the black banners), pledge allegiance to him, even if you have to crawl over ice on your buttocks, for he is the Mahdi, the Caliph of Allah.“

**This hadith is sahih (authentic) according to the criteria of Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim, but the two Sheikhs (Abu Bakr and Umar) did not narrate it.**

[Mustadrak Al Hakim 8432]

Conclusion

• The hadith was misattributed to Sahih Bukhari by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS).
• Such mistakes are not uncommon for even the Prophets of Allah. Muhammad (SAW), and other prophets also made humanly mistakes in their life
• If such mistakes prove that Ahmad (AS) is a false Messiah, then one has to declare all prophets of Allah as false too. Nauzubillah.
• The hadith exists in many books of ahadith and graded as authentic by numerous scholars (Ibn Kathir etc)
• A few other Muslim scholars have misattributed this hadith to Bukhari as well

Some anti-Ahmadis, such as Nuzhat Haneef and Adnan Rashid, allege that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (AS) had a bad character because he was uncivil when mocking the Christians.

But the mockery must remain within bounds of civility and also must be fair.

They show this picture as “Proof”

The claim is, look, how Mirza Ghulam Ahmad drew up this picture of Dowie, meanwhile his own picture is there.

Refutation

First of all, if we go to the original edition, we see how bogus this claim really is

Original Edition has a Drawing of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS

The claims that these images are a caricature of Dowie is extremely laughable at best.. The original edition of the same book quoted by Adnan) also has a sketch of Masih Mau’ud ASWill anti-Ahmadis claim he drew a caricature of himself?

*Note: The page numbers are different because Ruhani Khazain compilation came after, and in the lifetime of Promised Messiah AS there was no such compilation called “Ruhani Khazain”, where multiple books can be in a singular volume

Why the need of sketches?

Photocopiers as we have today were not available and did not come into existence until the 1960’s onwards. Reproducing images was difficult and tedious – sketches, drawings etc were common : https://www.npr.org/2013/10/23/239241106/happy-birthday-copy-machine-happy-birthday-copy-machine

An Actual Caricature of Dowie

Definition of Caricature

A caricature is a painting, or more usually drawing, of a person or thing in which the features and form have been distorted and exaggerated in order to mock or satirise the subject.

Here is one historical caricature of Dowie:

Sketches were taken from Newspapers

Promised Messiah AS himself has denoted in his books that he has taken images from newspapers and published them (He didn’t draw them).

اور وہ یہ ہے جس کو ہم نے عیسائیوں کی شائع کردہ تصویروں سے لیا ہے۔

…and which was taken from the pictures published by the Christians.’

[Ruhani Khazain, vol. 11, pg. 35]

Each sketch in the book of the Promised Messiah AS was from the newspapers:

Example 1:

Example 2:

Some more images of Dowie:

Sanaullah Amritsari’s caricature of Jesus!

In fact it is @MrAdnanRashid and @Farid_0v ‘s scholar, Ahle Hadith

Sanaullah Amritsari who made a caricature of ISA AS

Above the image is the words of Jesus from the Bible “Eli Eli Lama Sabacthani – O God why hast thou forsaken me

Conclusion

According to the absurd conclusion of the Anti-Ahmadis, Promised Messiah AS drew a caricature of Dowie but also of himself. Clearly, these ignorants do not even know what the meaning of the word caricature is. Sketches of an images which are accurate can not be deemed as a caricature as by definition a caricature has exaggerated features.

Promised Messiah AS didn’t draw these pictures; rather these were sketched by an artist/scribe based on newspaper photos.

Some anti-Ahmadis allege that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (AS) had a bad character because he was uncivil when mocking the Christians. This was mentioned by an Anti-Ahmadi by the name of Nuzhat Haneef:

But the mockery must remain within bounds of civility and also must be fair.

Refutation

This allegation shows how low the intellectual level of these people are. Literally right before the image, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) writes:

اور وہ یہ ہے جس کو ہم نے عیسائیوں کی شائع کردہ تصویروں سے لیا ہے۔

…and which was taken from the pictures published by the Christians.’

[Ruhani Khazain, vol. 11, pg. 35]

Anti-Ahmadis cannot edit the Holy Quran as Allah has promised to protect it so they do what they can. They photoshop words into AhadithTahrif in the Hadith | Imam Bayhaqi’s Narration | Minas Samaa and not so surprisingly, into the books of Jama’at-e-Ahmadiyya as well. In this example, they have added a filthy sentence in the book, Seerat-ul-Mahdi by Mirza Bashir Ahmad (RA).

میں نے دیکھا کہ آپ کے منہ سے گو نکل رہا تھا اور گو کے ساتھ خون بھی شامل تھا

I saw that feces was coming out of his [Mirza] mouth, and with the feces there was also blood.

[Seerat ul-Mahdi]

Refutation

This line is edited and does not exist in this edition nor any edition of Seeratul Mahdi. This is why the Anti-Ahmadis show only a portion of the page. They will never show a full page ever, nor give page number.

As seen in the video/GIF below, they have cut the page into 2 parts, added their own line in the middle, and stitched everything together. It can be noticed by their bad editing because the right margins go from straight lines to not-so-straight.

Even the grammar of the sentence is off. It’s not ‘go’ but ‘goo’ and it’s a Punjabi word, not Urdu.

Conclusion

This behavior of ‘Sunnis’ is exactly like the Jews as described in the Holy Quran.

فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَكْتُبُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَـٰذَا مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ لِيَشْتَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ثَمَنًۭا قَلِيلًۭا ۖ فَوَيْلٌۭ لَّهُم مِّمَّا كَتَبَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَوَيْلٌۭ لَّهُم مِّمَّا يَكْسِبُونَ

Woe, therefore, to those who write the book with their own hands, and then say, ‘This is from Allah,’ that they may take for it a paltry price. Woe, then, to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they earn.

[Quran 2:79]

Anti-Ahmadis cannot edit the Holy Quran as Allah has promised to protect it so they do what they can. They photoshop words into Ahadith¹ and not so surprisingly, into the books of Jama’at-e-Ahmadiyya as well. In this example, they have added a filthy sentence in the book, Seerat-ul-Mahdi by Mirza Bashir Ahmad (RA).

آپ اکثر محمدی بیگم کی حیض والی سلوار سونگھا کرتے تھے

He (Mirza) mostly used to sniff Muhammadi Begum’s menstrual trousers

[Sirat ul-Mahdi; v.1, p.200, #179, 1935 ed.]

Refutation

This line is edited and does not exist in this edition nor any edition of Seeratul Mahdi. It is such an absurd thing that no one except the filthy minds of Sunnis can think of. Here is the side-by-side view of the low quality editing of the Khatme Nabuwat group.

Even the grammar of the sentence is off. It’s not ‘Salwar’ but ‘Shalwar’ and there is no period at the end of the sentence. These filthy Anti-Ahmadis cannot even edit properly.

Conclusion

This behavior of ‘Sunnis’ is exactly like the Jews as described in the Holy Quran.

فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَكْتُبُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَـٰذَا مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ لِيَشْتَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ثَمَنًۭا قَلِيلًۭا ۖ فَوَيْلٌۭ لَّهُم مِّمَّا كَتَبَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَوَيْلٌۭ لَّهُم مِّمَّا يَكْسِبُونَ

Woe, therefore, to those who write the book with their own hands, and then say, ‘This is from Allah,’ that they may take for it a paltry price. Woe, then, to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they earn.

[Quran 2:79]

It is no surprise because it was a prophecy of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that the Muslims will become exactly like the Jews.²

References

There is a famous Anti-Ahmadiyya book circulated on the internet. It is titled: “An Unequivocal Clarification – Exposing the Qadiyani Ahmadiyya Sect“¹.

Blatant Lies

In this section, we will only list the very blatant lies mentioned in the book

Death on toilet

The Indian newspaper also published a piece on the death of Ghulām Aḥmad. They stated that, when Ghulām Aḥmad al-Qādiyānī—the false prophet—was stricken with cholera, there was filth exiting from his mouth prior to his death. And he died while sitting on the toilet, defecating in the bathroom.

[Pg 11232321]

This is a blatant lie without any citation. No newspaper has this and there is no proof of this anywhere.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) died exactly like the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), surrounded by his family, in remembrance of Allah and after prophesying his own death. Full article can be read here.

Death after hitting on the bed

The next lie he makes up is that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) dies because he hit his head on the bed post. So what is true? He died because he hit on the bed post or that he died on the toilet? This ignorant Mawlavi can’t even make up his mind.

When he stopped vomiting, he wanted to lie down, but he fell down on the bed and hit his head against the wooden bedpost and died.
Reference: Mirzā Bashīr ad-Dīn. Biography of the Mahdī, 1/11, narration #12.

[Pg 11232321]

He quotes a reference but no such reference exists in the book, Seeratul Mahdi that says Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (AS) died after hitting his head on the bed post. Full article can be read here again which contains the narrations from the same book.

Deny Virgin Birth of Isa (AS)

» THEY DENY THAT JESUS  WAS BORN WITHOUT A FATHER
They deny that Jesus (‘Īsā) was born from a mother without a father. They say that he has a father; thus, they accuse Allāh of lying in His statement:

Verily, the likeness of Jesus with Allāh is the likeness of Ādam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: “Be!” and he was.
[Sūrah Āli ‘Imrān 3:59]

[Pg 11232321]

This is again a blatant lie and no reference from any book of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) is quoted. Ahmad (AS) has numerous times mentioned that Isa (AS) was born without a father. Full article with references can be read here.

Deny Miracles of Prophets

» THEY REJECT THE MIRACLES OF THE PROPHETS
They reject the miracles of the prophets, even though these miracles are narrated through reports with numerous chains of narration; and they are stated in several places in the Qur’ān, such as in the stories of Ṣāliḥ, Moses (Mūsā), Jesus, and Muḥammad.

[Pg 14]

Another lie and again without any reference or citation.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) never denied any miracle of any prophets. On the contrary, he showed numerous miracles throughout his life, like healing the sick, death prophecy of many individuals, miracles through acceptance of dua and many more. These can be read under the section of our website called, Sign of Messiah.

Ahmad (AS) even challenged his enemies that they can throw him into a live burning hell fire and God would save him like he saved Ibrahim (AS).

Abrogated Jihad

» THEY CLAIM THAT JIHĀD HAS BEEN ABROGATED
They claim that jihād has been abrogated, even though the Qur’ān, the Sunnah, and the consensus of the scholars [all agree] that it remains.

[Pg 14]

No citation or reference again!

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) never claimed that Jihad is abrogated. He even rejected the theory of abrogation (Naskh Mansukh) that Sunnis believe in. They believe that there commandments and verses in Quran that are abrogated (are useless) and can never be used for legal rulings or otherwise. Full article here.

Get Money from British and British Spies

» THEY HAVE ANIMOSITY & ENMITY TOWARDS THE MUSLIMS
Their enmity towards the Muslims is immense while they have allegiance towards the non-Muslims, especially Britain, from whom they receive large amounts of money to disseminate their false beliefs. For this reason, you will rarely find a country that England has colonized except that the Ahmadiyya have centers and preachers within it. They even established a center in Israel, where they are given complete support and assistance such that they publish a monthly magazine there called Al-Bushra. All of this—and other matters, as well, which will be mentioned during this analysis—proves that they have evil intentions against the Muslims, and their destructive principles clearly oppose the religion of Islām and contradict the foundations and principles of this religion.

[Pg 14]

Again no citation or reference. What is wrong with this ‘scholar’? Why can’t he ever provide any proof of his claim?

This is absolutely absurd. Ahmadi Muslims are probably the only group of Muslims who never receives monetary favors from any country or any other group. Unlike the Sunni Muslims who get government funding from the British government and other governments around the world. This has been the case since the British were in India. Just one example is the famous Salafi Sunni Green Lane Masjid in UK receiving multi million dollar donation from the government.²Birminghammail.co.uk]³

Lastly, Arab Sunnis converted to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community settled in Palestine, long before the Sunnis lost it to the Zionists. Just like many Sunni Muslims, they have been living in the Palestine since decades. Claiming that Ahmadis get any special favors from Israel is completely absurd, that too without citing any source.

No Miracles from Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS)?

His followers answered his call and believed in him without any evidence or clear proof from him; rather, they followed
him simply because he appealed to them. They complied with his wishes without scrutinizing his statements or examining his claim. If they’d had any knowledge about the rules of the religion, the verses from the Qur’ān, and the miracles of the prophets and messengers, they would have never accepted his fallacious claim; they would have never accepted his fabrication. Surely, it is a must that prophets bring miracles and evidence to substantiate their prophethood, miracles that will necessitate the people to believe in them [because they can do] things man is not able to do.

If only these Qādiyānis would have requested their alleged prophet to perform any such miracle so they would have proof of his truthfulness.

[Pg 23]

I am tired of repeating but again, he cites no proof or a reference.

I have already mentioned the numerous miracles of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS). These can be read under the section of our website called, Sign of Messiah.

The rest is childish tantrums saying people believe in him without evidence and so on. Unlike the ‘Giant scholar’ of Sunnis, we will stay academic.

Qadian greater than Mecca and Madina?

» GHULĀM AḤMAD CLAIMED THAT HIS HOMELAND OF QADIAN IS GREATER THAN MAKKAH & MADĪNAH
He said: “Verily, the Noble Qur’ān mentions the names of three towns with reverence and veneration: Makkah, Madīnah,
and Qadian.”11

He said: “Verily, Qadian is the Mother of Towns; whoever cuts it off will be cut and shredded. Thus, fear lest you be cut and shredded. The fruits of Makkah and Madīnah have ceased, but the fruits of Qadian continue to be fresh.”12

—-

11 Notes on Dispelling Illusions, p. 34
12 The Reality of Dreams, p. 46

[Pg 34]

Finally, he gave some references to his lies.

The first reference does not say Qadian is greater than Mecca and Medina. Rather, it is placed third, after Mecca and Medina. Moreover, the statement is from Kashf (vision) of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS). Read more here.

The second reference is not from any book of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS). There is no book named The Reality of Dreams by Ahmad (AS).

There are many more lies and misquotes in the book but it will be added to this article over a period of time.

References

To justify the persecution of Ahmadis, Anti-Ahmadis use an excuse that the Ahmadi Muslims consider all non-Ahmadis Kafir (non-Muslim). They use this allegation to further incite hatred and violence against the community whose members are already killed, imprisoned, their mosques destroyed and graves desecrated.

In this article, we will expose the hypocrisy of the Anti-Ahmadis and show the authentic belief of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community regarding the status of non-Ahmadi Muslims.

Implication of the Takfir of Sunnis and Shias

When the ‘Sunnis’ and Shias declare someone a Kafir, this is what it implies:

1. They have become apostates. Thus, their blood is Halal and must be killed.
2. They will burn in Hell for eternity,

The takfir of the Sunnis and Shias is a disgusting murder tool through which they have spilled the blood of hundreds and thousands. This takfir causes murder of innocents even today and the prime example for this is the murder of 100s of innocent Ahmadis in the recent decades, all across the world, especially Pakistan.

This severity of the Takfir of ‘Sunnis’ was mentioned by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) more than a century ago.

About 200 maulawis put their seals of affirmation on it and I was declared a kafir [disbeliever]. These edicts were so harsh that some of the clerics even declared that my followers and I are worse than the Jews and Christians in our kufr. In general, edicts were issued stating, ‘These people should not be buried in Muslim graveyards, nor greeted with the greeting of peace, nor should a handshake be extended to them.’ Also, they declared that since we are kafirs, it is not permissible to offer prayers behind us. Rather, we should not be allowed to enter the mosques because we are disbelievers; mosques become defiled by us and if we do enter, the mosque ought to be thoroughly washed. Moreover, it is permissible to steal our goods, and we deserve execution because we deny the coming of a murderous Mahdi and repudiate jihad [with the sword].

[Haqiqatul Wahi, pg. 142]

Ahmadi Muslims reject such filthy beliefs. These are not proven from either the Holy Quran or the words and actions of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The 2nd Khalifa of Ahmadiyya Islam, Mirza Basheerudin Mahmud Ahmad (RA) clarifies that we do not hold such unislamic beliefs:

Moreover, there is a great deal of difference between our definition of Kufr and theirs. They understand by Kufr to mean the denial of Islam, which is the meaning we do not ascribe to this term when using it about the non-Ahmadis. Our view is that if a person conforms to the tenets and teachings of Islam to a given extent, he is entitled to be called a Muslim.

But when he falls below even that point then although he may be called a Muslim, he cannot be regarded a perfect Muslim. We never allege on the basis of this definition that every Kafir is doomed to hell-fire for ever. We do not call even the Jews and the Christians to be Kafirs of that description.

[Political Solidarity of Islam, pg. 9]

Who initiated Takfir first?

It was the Sunnis and Shias who first declared Takfir of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (AS) and his followers. In 1891, when the Promised Messiah (AS) claimed to be the Messiah and proved that Isa (AS) has died, Muhammad Hussain Batalvi travelled throughout the Indian subcontinent to gather signatures of 100s of scholars on the Fatwa of the Takfir of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS).¹

Over the next decades, these scholars also continued to publish numerous such articles and pamphlets that incited the mobs for the murder of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) and his followers. This continues till this day and these references are posted elsewhere for the brevity of this article. [Add ref]

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) challenged them to prove he takfired non-Ahmadis first. He says:

Can any maulawi, or any other opponent, or any custodian of a shrine prove that we were the first to issue edicts of apostasy against them? Let them produce any document, announcement, or treatise published by me prior to their own edicts of apostasy against us, in which I had pronounced my Muslim antagonists to be kafirs; otherwise, they should consider how dishonest it is that they are the ones who declared us to be kafirs, yet accuse us of denouncing all Muslims as kafirs.

[Haqiqatul Wahi, pg. 143]

Takfir of a Muslim renders one a Kafir

So it is a hypocrisy of the Anti-Ahmadis to complain that we Takfir them when they were the ones who initiated it. For argument’s sake, even if Ahmadis did Takfir Sunnis and Shias, it would still be okay as the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said that if a Muslim Takfirs another Muslim, he himself becomes a Kafir:

إِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لأَخِيهِ يَا كَافِرُ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِهِ أَحَدُهُمَا

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “If a man says to his brother, O Kafir (disbeliever)!’ Then surely one of them is such (i.e., a Kafir). “

[Sahih al-Bukhari 6103]

And lastly—even if Ahmadi Muslims did declare the Sunnis and Shias as Wajib-ul-Qatl (liable to be killed) and eternally hell-bound in the same vicious manner that they do—it’s surprising to see them play the victim. We are only repeating the Fatwa of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). But we don’t even do such a thing.

Khalifatul Masih II (RA) mentions this as well:

غیر احمدیوں نے جب احمدیوں پر فتویٰ لگایا تو انہوں نے انہیں دائمی جہنمی قرار دیا لیکن احمدیوں نے جب کسی پر فتویٰ لگایا تو ساتھ ہی یہ کہہ دیا کہ اول تو اس فتویٰ کے یہ معنی نہیں کہ اسلام کی جامع و مانع تعریف سے وہ نکل گئے ہیں۔ دوم لفظ گفر کا اگر کسی معنوں میں بھی اُن پر اطلاق ہو تو اس کا یہ مطلب نہیں کہ وہ خدا تعالیٰ کے نزدیک بھی قابل مواخذہ ہیں۔ اللہ تعالیٰ کا مواخذہ محض بد نیتی اور اتمام حجت پر ہوا کرتا ہے۔ اگر اُن کی نیت نیک ہے اور اگر اُن پر اتمام حجت نہیں ہوا تو وہ کسی سزا کے مستحق نہیں۔

When non-Ahmadis issued a fatwa against Ahmadis, they declared them to be eternally destined for hell. But when Ahmadis issued a fatwa against anyone, they simultaneously stated that firstly, this fatwa does not mean that they have been expelled from the comprehensive and exclusive definition of Islam (Millat-e-Islam).

Secondly, if the word kufr applies to them in any sense, it does not mean that they are also accountable before Allah the Almighty. Allah the Almighty’s accountability is solely based on ill-intention and the completion of proof (itmam-e-hujjat). If their intention is good and if the proof has not been completed against them, then they are not deserving of any punishment.

[Anwarul Ulum, vol. 23, pg. 372, Masala Wahi-e-Nabuwat ke Mutaliq Islami Nazariya]

Definition of a Muslim

Before we can define who is a Kafir, and who is not, we need to look at the definition of a Muslim as per the Quran and Hadith and we need to look who has the right to call himself a Muslim? Luckily, our beloved Prophet, Muhammad (SAW) has made it extremely simple for us.

When doing a census of Medina, the Prophet (SAW) did not ask individual Muslims for their Aqeedah (belief) breakdown. All he requested was to ask people if they claim to be Muslim.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to us),

“List the names of those people who have announced that they are Muslims.”

So, we listed one thousand and five hundred men.

[Sahih al-Bukhari 3060]

Notice, that he did not ask each person to detail their Aqeedah. He did not ask if that person believes Allah is above the Arsh or He has 2 eyes or rejects a certain belief and so on, something that Muslims do today. Similarly, the Prophet (SAW) defines who is a Muslim in another hadith. He says:

“Whoever prays like us and faces our Qibla and eats our slaughtered animals is a Muslim and is under Allah’s and His Apostle’s protection. So do not betray Allah by betraying those who are in His protection.”

[Sahih al-Bukhari 391]

In summary, anyone who claims to be a Muslim has the full right to call himself a Muslim. Anyone who prays like a Muslim and eats the Zabiha (slaughtered meat) like a Muslim, has the full protection of a Allah and his prophet. This further refutes the unislamic and disguting belief of the ‘Sunnis’ and Shias that calls for the murder of those who are declared Kafir.

The 2nd Khalifa of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Mirza Basheerudin Mahmud Ahmad (RA) says the following after mentioning the above ahadith:

From all these references, it is proven that for inclusion in the Islamic community (Millat-e-Islam), merely reciting the Kalima (declaration of faith) is sufficient. There is no other matter that is necessary for inclusion in the Islamic community.

[Anwarul Ulum, vol. 23, pg. 348, Masala Wahi-e-Nabuwat ke Mutaliq Islami Nazariya]

Status of non Ahmadis in an Ahmadi state

Finally, one may ask that if Ahmadi Muslims did not initiate the Takfir of the non-Ahmadi Muslims and the Ahmadis don’t call for the murder of non-Ahmadis, then what is their status?

The answer is that anyone claims to be a Muslim will be given the rights of a Muslim. That person is far more closer to Ahmadi Muslims than anyone else. They are closer to us than the Jews and Christians. They will be given the same status within an Ahmadi Muslim state as any Ahmadi Muslim. No Jizya will be taken from them nor any other discrimination will be done to them.

This is contrary to how Ahmadi Muslims are treated in the Sunni and Shia countries. For example, in Pakistan, it is illegal for us to even say Islamic terms like Asslam-o-Alaikum, Alhmadulillah etc. Our mosques are destroyed, graves desecrated and Ahmadi Muslims murdered and jailed regularly.

Non-Ahmadi Muslims are not True Muslims

As explained in the previous sections, Ahmadi Muslims believe that anyone who calls themselves Muslim will have the right to do so. No one can take that right from them or force them to do otherwise. But just like all the sects of Muslims, we also believe that no one else is a true Muslim except us.

Honesty requires that we be truthful. It was the prophecy of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that in the latter days, Muslims will become just like the Jews and divided into numerous sects. Only 1 of them will be right while the rest would be Hell-bound. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is that 1 Heaven-bound sect.

It was narrated from ‘Awf bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:

“The Jews split into seventy-one sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy in Hell. The Christians split into seventy-two sects, seventy-one of which will be in Hell and one in Paradise. I swear by the One Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, my nation will split into seventy-three sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy-two in Hell.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, who are they?” He said: “The united community.”

[Sunan Ibn Majah 3992]

Moreover, we cannot dare say that those Muslims who do all of the following are true Muslims just like us:

• Istagatha (Asking Dua from the dead saints/prophets)²
• Believe that Quran has abrogated (useless) verses³
• Believe that Isa (AS) will murder innocent women/old/men for merely rejecting Islam ⁴
• Believe that Isa (AS) will abrogate many more verses of Quran when he returns⁵
• Believe that Allah has literal 2 eyes, fingers and other body parts⁶
• Reject ahadith completely (Quranists)
• Believe in Imams/Prophets/Saints who have all knowledge of unseen and control every atom of the universe⁷
• Believe that sex/sexual pleasures with pre-pubescents is allowed⁸

There are many, many more unislamic beliefs that are widespread amongst all the Muslims but for the sake of brevity, we only posted a few.

In short, Ahmadi Muslims are the only only Muslims who follow the true Islam that was followed by the Prophet (SAW) and Sahaba (RA). This is because it is only the Ahmadi Muslims that have accepted the Messiah and Mahdi of the age, whose job was to bring back Muslims to the pure Islam, as taught by the beloved Prophet, Muhammad (SAW).

The rest of the Muslims are only Muslims by name and have full rights to identify themselves as Muslim. This is the summary of the “Takfir” done by the Ahmadis.

Rejection of prophet of Allah deems one a Kafir?

Some ask that denial of any prophet of Allah deems one a Kafir. Since Ahmadis believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (AS) is the Messiah and has the status of a Prophet, then how come his denial does not render the non-Ahmadi Muslims as Kafir?

A simple answer to this is that yes, this is exactly why Ahmadi Muslims consider non-Ahmadis to be Kafir i.e they are not true Muslims (Momin) and only Muslims by name.

But again, our takfir does not imply that we kill them or declare them eternally hell-bound or that we stop them from praying Salat or jail them for merely saying “Asslam-o-Alaikum” or “Alhamdulillah”. Or that we consider them to be outside the nation of Islam (Millat-e-Islam). Khalifatul Masih II (RA) explains the same in the Munir Enquiry Commision in 1954

Question: Do you count Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib among those commissioned ones (divinely appointed figures) whose acceptance is necessary to be called a Muslim?

Answer: I have already answered this question before. A person who does not believe in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib cannot be declared outside the circle of Islam (Millat-e-Islam).

[Anwarul Ulum, vol. 24, pg. 383, Tehqiqati Adalat mein Jama’at Ahmadiyya ka bayan]

Why Takfir is important?

Another question that’s often asked is: why do even Ahmadis do Takfir in the first place? What’s the benefit of it? It’s understood that the Sunnis are calling for the murder of Ahmadis by declaring them disbelievers, and that they were the first to initiate the Takfir. But still—why can’t Ahmadis be the “bigger person” and just ignore it?

Firstly, Ahmadis only bring up the topic of Takfir when asked—either by curious individuals or hostile attackers. We don’t go around labeling people Kafir the way many non-Ahmadi Muslims do, including Sunnis and Shias. They’ve made it into a national sport. We haven’t.

This can be easily confirmed by reviewing any Sunni and Shia books, websites, articles, social media posts, and videos. Each of them will declare us kafir without question. Then check the literature of the Ahmadis and you will notice that those same Sunnis and Shias have been called Muslims repeatedly.

Secondly, the Takfir of non-Ahmadis has been specifically mentioned in our literature addressed to the Lahori Ahmadis. It was never addressed to non-Ahmadi Muslims. So the term Kafir has been used in a way that both Ahmadi groups understand, i.e, it only means they are not true Muslims (Momin), but they still have the right to identify as Muslim and are part of the Millat-e-Islam.

Thirdly, the answer to the question as to why takfir is important lies in understanding the status of the Messiah. According to Sunni and Shia belief, the Messiah who appears in the latter days will hold the rank of a Prophet (Nabi), and his rejection will lead to eternal Hell. In their own theology, rejecting him is no light matter. They also declare the rejectors of that Messiah and Mahdi to be Kafir, worthy of death and eternally Hell-bound.

Ahmadis simply apply that same principle but not the same implication. The rejection of the Promised Messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani (AS), is no trivial act. When a person denies him, they’re not just disagreeing with a scholar or ignoring a random saint—they are rejecting the very Messiah and Mahdi prophesied in the Quran, Ahadith, and supported by hundreds of living signs from Allah. Rejecting him is a major sin, and everyone will be accountable before Allah based on their intellect, sincerity, and effort in seeking the truth.

And because the rank of the Messiah is so high, it becomes necessary to state the consequences of denying him. Silence in the face of that would be dishonesty.

Conclusion

The following is the summary of all the points in the article.

1. The non-Ahmadis first initiated Takfir of the Ahmadis.
2. The non-Ahmadis also have the same Takfir fatawa against each others
   • Barelvi Sunni vs Deobandi Sunni vs Salafi
   • Sunni vs Shia
   • Shia vs Shia
3. When non-Ahmadis Takfir, it means:
   • The accused has left Islam entire
   • The accused cannot legally claim to be Muslim or follow any Islamic commadments
   • The accused is Wajib-ul-Qatal (liable for death) as he is an apostate
   • The accused is eternally Hell-bound
4. When Ahmadis used the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to put a Fatwa of Kufr on the non-Ahmadis, even then they were cautious. Non-Ahmadis:
   • Are not outside the Millat-e-Islam (nation of Islam)
   • Are not eternally Hell-Bound
   • Are not Wajib-ul-Qatl (liable for death)
   • Can still identify as Muslim
   • Have all the rights of a Muslim
5. Non-Ahmadis proudly Takfir Ahmadis even today while Ahmadi Muslim literature continues to address all non-Ahmadis as Muslims.

I will end with the following summary by Khalifatul Masih II (RA):

یادر ہے کہ احمدی تمام مسلمان کہلانے والے لوگوں کو اُمتِ محمدیہ میں سمجھتے ہیں اور اگر انہوں نے کسی جگہ پر کافر کا لفظ استعمال بھی کیا ہے تو اس کے صرف یہ معنے ہیں کہ وہ مرزا صاحب کی صداقت کے منکر ہیں یہ معنے نہیں کہ رسولِ کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی امت میں نہیں یا اصولِ اسلام کو نہیں مانتے۔کافر کے معنے عربی زبان میں منکر کے ہیں۔جب کوئی شخص مرزا صاحب کو نہیں مانتا تو عربی زبان اس کے لئے کافر کا لفظ ہی استعمال کیا جائے گا لیکن اگر کوئی یہ لفظ بولے تو اس کے معنے کھینچ تان کر یہ کر لیں کہ وہ اسے خدا اور رسول کا منکر کہتا ہے یہ سخت ظلم کی بات ہے۔کبھی احمدیوں نے مسلمانوں کو امت محمدیہ سے خارج نہیں سمجھا۔کبھی احمدیوں نے مسلمان کہلانے والوں کو کلمہ کا منکر قرار نہیں دیا، کبھی احمدیوں نے مسلمانوں کو خدا اور قرآن اور محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اور حشر و نشر اور تقدیر کا منکر قرار نہیں دیا۔جب بھی کہا یہی کہا ہے کہ ان سے غلطی ہوئی ہے کہ انہوں نے ایک بڑی بھاری صداقت کا انکار کیا ہے۔یعنی حضرت مرزا صاحب کو جو خدمت دین اور اشاعت کے لئے آئے تھے نہیں مانا اور اس طرح اسلام کی ترقی میں روک بنے۔

It should be remembered that Ahmadis consider all people who call themselves Muslims to be part of the Ummah of Muhammad. And if they have used the word ‘kafir’ (disbeliever) anywhere, it only means that they are deniers of Mirza Sahib’s truthfulness – it does not mean that they are not part of the noble Prophet’s (peace be upon him) Ummah or that they do not accept the principles of Islam. The meaning of ‘kafir’ in the Arabic language is ‘denier.’ When someone does not accept Mirza Sahib, then in the Arabic language the word ‘kafir’ will be used for them. But if someone utters this word and its meaning is stretched and distorted to suggest that they are calling them deniers of God and the Prophet, this is a matter of grave injustice. Ahmadis have never considered Muslims to be outside the Ummah of Muhammad. Ahmadis have never declared those who call themselves Muslims to be deniers of the Kalima (declaration of faith). Ahmadis have never declared Muslims to be deniers of God, the Quran, Muhammad the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), resurrection, or divine decree. Whenever they have spoken, they have only said that they (non-Ahmadis) have made an error in that they have denied a great truth – namely, they have not accepted Hazrat Mirza Sahib who came for the service and propagation of the religion, and thus have become an obstacle to the progress of Islam.

[Anwarul Ulum, vol. 24, pg. 26, Mawlana Maudidi ke Risala “Qadiani Masala’ ka Jawab]

References

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS deeply loved and respected Ahlul Bayt. His writings are filled with praise, admire and respect for the family of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Even his visions testify to the love he had for the family of Prophet Muhammad SAW.

But as is the case with all disbelievers, the enemies of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) are no different. Filthy minded Anti-Ahmadis allege that the Promised Messiah (AS) wrote sexual or indecent stuff about Fatima (RA). They further claim that this indecent writing takes one outside the fold of Islam. Let’s take a look at that ‘indecent’ writing.

Refutation

This is the passage:

“At this point, I recall a very clear vision which was as follows: After Maghrib prayer, while I was fully awake, I was overtaken by a slight numbing of my faculties […] and had a wonderful experience. First, there was a sound of some people walking fast […] and then five very dignified, holy and handsome personages came into my vision. They were the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, Hazrat Ali, Hasan, Husain and Fatimah al-Zahra, may Allah be pleased with all of them. One of them, and I think it was Hazrat Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her, out of great affection and kindness, like a loving mother, placed this humble one’s head upon her thigh. Then I was given a book concerning which I was told, ‘It is a commentary on the Holy Quran, which has been compiled by Ali and now Ali bestows it upon you.’فالحمد‭ ‬للّٰه‭ ‬على‭ ‬ذلك [Allah be praised for all this]”
_{[Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, Part 4, pg. 389-390]}

Can anyone point out the blasphemy in the quote above? Where is the indecent and sexual passage that the Anti-Ahmadis talk about? Their minds are filled with filth and indecent thoughts themselves.

Lastly, these filthy minded Anti-Ahmadis should start with the Takfir of their own saints and scholars. For example, Hazrat Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani RH – a highly respected scholar and saint in Islamic history – narrated his vision:

“And that I saw in the dream that I was in the lap of Hazrat Aisha^ra and she suckled me from the right side and then the left. At the same time, Hazrat Muhammad^sa came inside.”
_{[Qala‘idul-Jawahir fi Manaqib, Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, published in Egypt, p. 57]}

Furthermore, the leading scholar of the Deobandis, Ashraf Ali Thanvi, writes:

ہم‭ ‬ايک‭ ‬دفعہ‭ ‬بيمار‭ ‬ہوگئے‭ ‬ہم‭ ‬كو‭ ‬مرنے‭ ‬سے‭ ‬بہت‭ ‬ڈر‭ ‬لگتا‭ ‬ہے‭ ‬ہم‭ ‬نے‭ ‬خواب‭ ‬ميں‭ ‬حضرت‭ ‬فاطمہ‭ ‬رضی‭ ‬الله‭ ‬عنها‭ ‬كو‭ ‬ديكها‭ ‬انہوں‭ ‬نے‭ ‬ہم‭ ‬كو‭ ‬اپنے‭ ‬سينے‭ ‬سے‭ ‬چمٹا‭ ‬ليا‭ ‬ہم‭ ‬اچهے‭ ‬ہو‭ ‬گئے
“Once, I was very ill and I was extremely afraid of dying. I then saw Hazrat Fatimah^ra in a dream and she embraced me to her chest, and I got well.”
_{[Malfuzat by Ashraf Ali Thanvi, Vol. 8, p. 65]}

Conclusion

This clearly shows us that when the top scholars and saints of these Anti-Ahmadis see dreams of being embraced by Hazrat Fatimah RA or being suckled by Hazrat Aisha RA, it’s all seen as pious and spiritual, and these are readily accepted as signs of nearness to Allah.

However, when Allah vouchsafes a vision of profound love and dignity to His beloved Messiah and Mahdi, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS, it is attacked and misrepresented as disrespect. This double standard only exposes their bias and proves that they do not judge by the truth at all.

We will end this refutation article by quoting our beloved Imam Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V, Mirza Masroor Ahmad (ABA) who beautifully answered this allegation in his Friday Sermon on 28 August 2020:

The maulvis [clerics] who have polluted minds raise allegations against this extract where the Promised Messiah^as has written that Hazrat Fatimah^ra placed his head on her thigh. The Promised Messiah^as is saying this in context to how a mother shows affection to her child; however, how can one explain this to these people whose minds are polluted? When ordinary Muslims hear their statements, they think that Hazrat Fatimah^ra has been dishonoured, God forbid. Even though the Promised Messiah^as clarifies it further by saying just how affectionate she was to him just like that of a mother [to her child].
_{[Friday Sermon, 28 August 2020]}

Promised Messiah AS has himself answered that he does not quote Ahadith word for word but rather by their meaning and in the style of interpretation

Answer of Promised Messiah

Question from Batalwi:

His Statement (Qawluhu): One of your fabrications is that on page 201 of Izala-e-Auham, in the translation of the hadith “Wa Imamukum”, you added your own words.

I Say (Aqawal): This is a deficiency in your understanding or an outright fabrication, because this humble one has always had the habit of not intending literal translation but rather explaining the meanings.
However, I do not do so from myself, but rather unfold and present what is contained in the original text. Indeed, here the “wa” (and) in “Wa Imamukum” relates to the interpretation of the previous sentence. When this discussion with you begins, you will be made to understand based on the rules of grammar. Be a little patient and see my book Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya – my translations are always in the style of interpretation. It is regrettable that despite writing a review, you did not object to these translations nor accused me of fabrication anywhere. The real reason for this is nothing other than that your eyes were different at that time, and now they are different. May God Almighty restore your former vision. And He has power over all things. And remember that I have also mentioned the descent of the Messiah in Jerusalem or Damascus only by way of interpretation, not as a literal translation.

(Al-Haqq Mubahhatha Ludhiana, Ruhani Khazain, Vol. 4, p. 122)

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS deeply loved and respected Ahlul Bayt. His writings are filled with praise, admire and respect for the family of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. A beautiful and heartwarming example can be seen below:

But Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) was undoubtedly pure and manifestly righteous, and without question he was among those chosen ones whom God Himself purifies with His own hand and fills with His love. Without a doubt, he is from the chieftains of paradise, and harboring even an iota’s worth of rancour against him is a means of being deprived of faith. And this Imam’s righteousness, love for God, patience, steadfastness, devotion and worship is a perfect example (uswa hasana) for us. We are followers of the guidance granted to this innocent Imam. Perished is the heart that bears enmity towards him, and truly successful is the heart that demonstrates love for him in practice and reflects, through complete devotion, all the marks of his faith, character, courage, piety, steadfastness, and love of God; just as the image of a beautiful person is perfectly reflected in a clear mirror.

[Majmu‘ah-e-Ishtiharat, Vol. 3, p. 375]

In this article, we will refute the lies and misquotations of the Anti Ahmadis regarding their claim that Promised Messiah AS disrespected Ahlul Bayt i.e the family of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) or Hazrat Ali RA or Imam Hussain RA.

Anti Ahmadis present the following reference and claim that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS disrespected Imam Hussain RA.

وَأَمَّا حُسَيْنُ فَاذْكُرُوا دَشْتَ كَرْبَلَا إِلَى هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ تَبْكُوْنَ فَانْظُرُوا

There is a marked difference between me and your Husain,
For I am ever supported and helped by Almighty God.

But, so far as Husain is concerned, recall what happened in the desert of Karbala;
You still cry over it. You ought to reflect.

[The Miracle of Ahmad, pg. 130]

This allegation is a prime example of how Anti-Ahmadis nitpick on one line while hiding the rest of the context, a practice that Christians and Islamophobes do regarding the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and Islam.

Refutation

This passage is an accusatory response to a Shia scholar named Ali Hairi who believed Imam Hussain RA was God, or possessed all divine attributes and powers of Allah. He had exaggerated the status of Imam Hussain (RA) above even the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). This is why the Promised Messiah AS uses the word “your” to distinguish that it is not our Hussain RA but rather the imaginative/fictional Imams of the Shia that is god.

Immediately before writing the poem, Promised Messiah (AS) clarifies that there is no disrespect of Imam Hussain (RA) in the Qasidah. Anti-Ahmadis won’t mention this ever!

This is going to be the final battle, so the Shiite should seek help from Husain, and Golarhi from some of his own elders.
…
What I have written in the qasidah about Imam Husain, may Allah be pleased with him, or about Hadrat ‘Isa [ Jesus], peace be upon him, is not based on human understanding. Evil indeed is he who speaks foul of God’s perfect and righteous servants based on his own selfish notions. I believe firmly that no one can survive even for a night after having spoken impertinently about such righteous people like Husain and Hadrat ‘Isa. Instead, according to the wa‘id مَن ْ عَادَا وَلیًّا لِي [He who is at enmity with a friend of Mine] such a person is quickly seized.
[The Miracle of Ahmad, pg. 66]

Similarly, the context of the Qasidah completely explains everything. These are few couplets immediately before and after those which are quoted by the Anti-Ahmadis that clearly show that it is talking about the fictional Imam Hussain (RA) that Shias have made up.

Do you consider him [Husain] to be more pious than the entire world?
O exaggerator, what have you gained from such exaggeration?

You have believed Husain to be better than the entire creation,
And all those whom God has created.

This would be like the statement issued by the Christians regarding ‘Isa [Jesus],
O ye who are so similar to the Christians!

I find it amazing how the hearts of these two groups have come to bear such striking resemblance;
Indeed, the heavens may well-nigh rend asunder because of what they say.

Was Husain better than all the Prophets?
Was he an intercessor for the Prophets and more pious than all of them?

Be on your guard! For Almighty God invokes His curse on the person,
Who tells lies by making exaggerated statements and utilizes not the insight granted to him.

I consider Shirk [associating partners with Allah] among the Shias to be as perilous as Shirk among the Christians;
I see the ignorant embracing the Shiite faith and Christianity.

Therefore, O Ali Hairi! Fear God and repent;
If you have decided to confront me, then here I am to confront you.

Like the idol-worshippers you have made rounds of Husain’s grave;
He still failed to grant you salvation and did not come to your help.

This exposed the weakness and shortcomings of the person, that is, Husain,
About whom you said that on the Day of Judgment he would intercede even on behalf of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, so reflect.

You believe that Husain is the Chief of all mankind;
And that every Prophet shall be granted salvation and forgiveness by his intercession alone.

If the Faith could warrant such Shirk,
Then the advent of all the Messengers of God was simply absurd.

This belief is a calumny and denigration of the high spiritual station of the Prophets;
O beast of the jungle! May you perish! Why have you become so audacious?!

You declared Husain to be better than all the Messengers;
And thus you crossed all limits of truthfulness. And, surely God is a witness to this

In times of trial and hardship you seek help only from him,
As if Husain is your Lord, O wicked liar!

Your religious scholars fell down before him like ones prostrating;
How can you now hold the disbelievers and Christians guilty of such acts of sinfulness?

You have forgotten the honour and glory of Almighty God,
And recite only the name of Husain. Do you think you can deny this?

The Promised Messiah (AS) clearly compares the Shia scholar to the Christians who claim Isa (AS) is god and also uses the same words used for trinitarian Christians in the Holy Quran, “Indeed, the heavens may well-nigh rend asunder because of what they say.“

He then quotes their beliefs that:

• Imam Hussain (RA) is better than Muhammad (SAW)
• Better than all prophets
• All prophets attain salvation through Imam Hussain (RA)
• Shia scholars ask only Hussain (RA) for Dua
• They even prostrate towards Imam Hussain (RA) just like the Christians!

Conclusion

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) never disrespected anyone from the Ahlul Bayt. He used this Qasidah to warn the Shias about their Shirk and asked them to worship the God that is helping him everyday, rather than a mere human who had died long ago.

The Qasidah from which the Anti-Ahmadis make this allegation is filled with defense of Tawhid (unit of Allah) and refutation of Shirk. Anti Ahmadis who have an issue with this Qasidah are no different than the Christians who also make a mere human their deity and worship him rather than Allah.
