Is the (Anti-Ahmadiyya) Imam Right or Wrong?:
by Soner Uguz


Printer-friendly Page

In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful!

Praise, glory, greatness and honour be to Allah, the One and only True Living and Eternal God Who is the Lord and Creator of the Universe. Peace and blessings be upon the Holy Prophet, the prophet of mercy and grace, the beloved of God, the last of all prophets after whom no prophet shall ever come. He is Muhammad Mustafa, the seal of prophethood, the son of Abdullah and Amina and the grandson of Abdul Muttalib of the tribe of Quraish and of the clan of Hashim. Peace also unto his family and Companions who strove with him in support and true allegiance to spread the good news that is true salvation and that is Islam, the only true religion. May Allah also bless the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, the Reformer of the fourteenth century Hijrah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Ameen.

I am writing this article to refute the assumptions of an anti-Ahmadiyya Imam who made a website a few years back but only a few weeks ago I had found it when searching through Yahoo. I joined this Movement a while ago and I did not just say, "He’s right; let me join immediately." No, I did not do it this way. First I studied the Movement by the help of the brothers and sisters at the Lahore Ahmadiyya websites and I requested information from them because I had already read most of the literature on their website. They sent me books and I studied them over and over again and I did my own research. In short, I studied fully and carefully before I joined the Ahmadiyya Movement and I know for a fact that this Movement is surely right. I already knew about some of the allegations, which I had read in booklets which refuted Qadiani beliefs and stated that Ahmadi beliefs were the same, but I discovered this to be false by reading from the Lahore Ahmadiyya websites and the books they had sent me and are still sending me. By the grace of Allah and I am studying these books thoroughly and have seen that these allegations are false. In this article I propose to answer some of those allegations levelled against the Holy Movement. It begins thus: 

"Qadianism (Ahmadiyyat) in the News
Qadiani/Ahmadi Cult has been crushed on the Internet
July 15, 1999
Has removed its Official Propaganda Sites
Has ordered its followers not to communicate with knowledgeable Muslims

All Praise is due to Allah (swt) that after just two years of operation, the irrefutable evidence provided on our website on the absolute finality of prophethood and the deceptive arguments and methods of the Qadiani leadership have forced the Ahmadiyya Mission to shut down all of their official internet sites. Previously, the Qadiani leaders had been boasting about the arguments they had presented on their websites to convert unsuspecting individuals to Qadianism. However, their falsehood was exposed by the light of Truth and the evidence presented on our website. The Head of the Mission was forced to order the removal of all of their literature after we produced the account of several high-level Ahmadis who had verified the facts, testified to the falsehood of the Mission and embraced Islam. And say: Truth has (now) arrived, and falsehood perished: for falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish (17:81). "

My Answer:

The assumptions stated here are all stated by a charlatan who is a liar for he states that all the official websites have been shut down and I ask him to name these sites for I know a lot of good websites which defend the Holy Movement. Maybe he has succeeded in having a few Qadiani (now Rawbah Jama’at) sites closed but he has not succeeded in closing the websites by the Ahmadiyyah Anjuman Isha’at Islam, Lahore. All his allegations are false and are simply answered on the great website, aaiil.info. The Imam asserts that we have falsehood. Let me reassure him that we -- Ahmadis -- have no falsehood in our teachings for all our teachings are Islamic and are based on the concepts of Ahle Sunnah wat Jamm’at. Maybe it is true that Qadianis use deceptive methods to make people join their Movement but not so [Lahori] Ahmadis, for we base all our proof on the Holy Quran and Sunnah. The Imam persists in referring to Ahmadis also as infidels and heretics and I say that these words are fit only for those who have said it. The website made by this Imam is full of bigotry and deception, which he uses to trick people and to ignite in them hate and prejudice and to give up all sense of respect and tolerance. This goes to show that this imam lacks good moral qualities so how can we trust him and his comrades who assist in making similar sites? But Allah is our Protector against such plots of bias, ignorance and sheer pride which can lead to sedition. May Allah have mercy on this imam.

We in the Ahmadiyyah Movement believe that Muhammad is the last of all prophets and that Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad never claimed prophethood but only to be a reformer (muhaddith). Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad did not innovate or abrogate or omit anything in the religion. He was a Muslim and we are also. We believe in all that the Holy Quran and the Sunnah state and we have the utmost respect for the scholars of fiqh (jurisprudence). The persons he claims to have left the Movement and joined Islam are persons who used to be Qadianis. But his statement tries to show that Ahmadis are not Muslims and thus charges us as non-Muslims; this allegation fits his own character only. 

"The discussion forum we established in February 1999 was also an instant success and attracted participants around the globe. On this forum, Qadiani missionaries were defeated hands down and their century-old arguments were proven to have been based on conjecture, fabricated evidence and false claims. As a result of this forum, several Ahmadis were guided to Islam and the leader of the Qadiani movement was once again forced to ban his followers from discussing their faith and history with knowledgeable Muslims. Obviously, if the Qadiani leaders had the Truth on their side, they would be eager to share it with others, rather than hide it! Once again, the Word of Allah (swt) has been proven against the Ahmadi Mission. Nay, we hurl the Truth against falsehood and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood does perish! Ah! Woe be to you for the (false) things you ascribe (to Us) (21.18)."

My Answer:

All his statements of accusations levelled against this Movement are sheer lies. This imam is nothing but a charlatan who gathered others who possess his likeness, and his statements and so-called answers against the Movement are all futile. A close study shows this to be true. Let him take heed from the ayahs he himself conveys for it is obvious he does not know what he is talking about. And I would like to say that the Qadianis are the ones who broke off from the true teachings of the Promised Messiah in. We in the Ahmadiyyah Movement are Muslims. Ashadu ala ilaha illallah wa ashadu anna Muhammad-ur rasululla. This is what we bear witness to. His statement that the world is against us is a sheer lie and fantasy which he tries to project as the truth. May Allah give this imam a rational mind. Ameen

"We like to advise our Muslim brothers and sisters to be on guard about the deceptive ways of the Qadiani missionaries. They are now concentrating their effort on individuals who may not be aware that the founder of Qadianism, while claiming to be the Mahdi, Messiah, Hindu Lord Krishna, a second advent of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and a new prophet, had attempted to subjugate Muslims to the oppressive British colonial rule. The Qadiani missionaries will often present selected portions of the writings of their founder to suggest they hold the same view of Islam as Muslims do, but they omit those writings and claims of their leaders which have placed them outside the fold of Islam. If you are aware of anyone who has been misguided by the Ahmadi propaganda, please refer them to our Idara immediately.

"Alhamdulillah, every day more and more Ahmadis are realising that the objection of the Muslim ummah against Ahmadiyyat is due to the falsehood of the Qadiani Mission. It is not directed at them individually. We invite every Ahmadi to reflect, with a clear mind and receptive heart, upon the evidence and strive to save themselves and their loved ones from a mission which had relied on deception to misguide the former generation of Ahmadis from the path of truth and salvation."

My Answer:

In this part of his assumption we see that surely this imam is a total liar and a fanatic. I will answer his allegations in the very words of the Promised Messiah regarding belief in khatam an-nabiyyin.

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and members of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha`at Islam Lahore believe that the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may peace and the blessings of God be upon him, is the khatam an-nabiyyin. Hazrat Mirza wrote as follows:

"I believe that the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the khatam (seal) of the Prophets" (Ainah Kamalat Islam, p. 21).

"I believe in the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, being the khatam an-nabiyyin, and I know with perfect certainty and I firmly believe that our Holy Prophet is the khatam al-anbiya" (Nishan Asmani, p. 28).

"I hold that our Messenger Muhammad Mustafa, peace be upon him, is the most excellent of messengers and the khatam an-nabiyyin" (Hamamat al-Bushra, p. 8; new edition p. 36).

"I believe in God and His Messenger, and I also believe that the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, is the khatam an-nabiyyin" (ibid. p. 81; new edition p. 290).

"My belief is that our Leader and Master Hazrat Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the khatam al-anbiya" (Kitab al-Barriyya, p. 182, footnote).

"We believe that there is none worthy of worship except Allah Almighty, and our leader Muhammad Mustafa, peace be upon him, is His Messenger and the khatam al-anbiya" (Ayyam as-Sulh, pp. 86-87).

"As for belief, what God wants from you is that God is One, and Muhammad, peace be upon him, is His Prophet and the khatam al-anbiya and the greatest" (Kishti-i Nuh, p. 15).

"The finality of prophethood with the Holy Prophet is not only due to his being the last in time, but also because all the accomplishments of prophethood were completed with him" (Lecture on Islam at Sialkot, p. 6).

"The age of the prophethood of the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, extends till the Day of Judgement, and he is the khatam al-anbiya" (Chashma-i Ma`rifat, p. 82).

"I have written again and again that it is a real and actual fact that our leader and master, peace be upon him, is the Khatam al-anbiya" (ibid. p. 324, footnote).

"I swear by Almighty God that I am not a kafir [non-believer]. My belief is: There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. And regarding the Holy Prophet, I believe (the verse of the Quran): He is the Messenger of Allah and the khatam an-nabiyyin. I swear to the truth of this statement of mine as many times as there are holy names of God, and as many times as there are letters in the Holy Quran, and as many times as there are virtues of the Holy Prophet in the sight of God. None of my beliefs is opposed to the commands of God and the Apostle" (Karamat as-Sadiqeen, p. 25).

"The interpretation I have given to the descent of the Messiah is not a new one. In fact, it is the same interpretation that Jesus himself expounded (when explaining the descent of Elijah as the coming of John the Baptist), because the case of the descent of Jesus is exactly analogous to the case of the descent of Prophet Elijah" (Kitab al-Barriyya, p. 195).

"Raising me at the head of the fourteenth century, God disclosed the logic behind this prophecy and made it clear that the second coming of the Messiah to this world was destined to have been in the same sense and manner as the second coming of the prophet Elijah, which had been prophesied in the book of Malachi (in the Old Testament). This book explicitly mentioned that the Promised Messiah awaited by the Jews would not come into the world until the Prophet Elijah had returned. If our opponents had any element of goodness or truth-seeking in them, they would have benefited much by this prophecy of Malachi, upon which both the Jews and the Christians agree. As the re-appearance of the prophet Elijah in person in this world was a pre-requisite to the coming of the Messiah, under this condition Jesus would not be proved to be a true prophet. He can only be proved to be true if some other interpretation is given to the return of the prophet Elijah. In other words, by the second coming of Elijah it should be taken to mean the arising of someone like him, and that ‘like’ was John the Baptist, the son of Zacharias. This was the interpretation given by Jesus when challenged by the Jews. This interpretation, which is proved to have come from a prophet's lips, shows plainly that the second coming of the Messiah to this world is on the same lines as the return of Elijah. To ignore a precedent that has been established and to adopt the literal meaning, leading to many inconsistencies in one's beliefs, is the work of people who have very little sense and understanding. Metaphors and allegories predominate in prophecies, and there would be no stupidity greater than taking a word in a prophecy literally when such literal interpretation leads to many contradictions. It was this attitude for which the Jews met their destruction" (ibid, p. 194).

"God has repeatedly favoured me with His exclusive word, saying that He has sent me in the likeness, and with the qualities, of Jesus in order to remove the Jewishness (i.e., Pharisaic attitude and behaviour of Muslims of the latter days). Hence, I am the promised son of Mary in a metaphorical sense, who had been promised to appear at a time of ‘Jewishness’ and supremacy of Christianity. I have come devoid of material means, with spiritual power and weaponry, as opposed to the wrong conception of physical warfare that prevailed among the Muslims about (the second coming of) Jesus. My war is spiritual and my kingdom is not of this world. I have nothing to do with the battles and offensives of the world. My life is one of humility and meekness, like that of Jesus. I have come to re-establish humility, meekness, righteousness, civility, and inner purity in the Muslims, and to teach the path of high morals. If Muslims do not accept me, I shall not be grieved at all because before me the Israelites did not accept Jesus" (Majmu`a Ishtiharat, vol. I, pp. 232-233).

"Why should one turn one's face away from the unanimously acknowledged belief of all the prophets, that sometimes God's prophecies are fulfilled literally and sometimes in a metaphorical sense?" (Supplement to Barahin Ahmadiyya, Part V, p. 93).

"When God, having seen the condition of the present age and finding the earth filled with sin, impiety and misguidance, appointed me for the propagation of the truth and reformation, it was also such an age that…the people of the world, having finished the thirteenth century Hijrah, had reached the head of the fourteenth century. In obedience to this command I began to announce to the ordinary public, through printed posters and speeches, that the man who was to come from God at the head of this century for the revival of the religion was myself, so that faith which had disappeared from the earth, I should re-establish, and, having obtained strength from God, I should draw the world by the power of His Hand towards reform, piety and righteousness, and correct errors in belief and weaknesses in deeds. Then, after a few years had passed, it was disclosed to me clearly by Divine revelation that the Messiah who had been promised to the Muslim nation from the beginning, and the last Mahdi who was to be guided by God directly at a time of the decline of Islam and the spread of evil, the good news of whose advent was given thirteen centuries ago by the Holy Prophet Muhammad, was myself. The Divine communications and revelations about this matter came with such clarity and persistence that there remained no room for doubt" (Tazkira Shahadatain, p. 1).

"With great respect and humility I send this notice to Muslim ulama, Christian divines and Hindu pundits, informing them that I have been sent into the world to remedy and correct weaknesses and errors of morals, doctrines and faith. I follow the same lines as Jesus. On account of this I am called the Promised Messiah, for I have been commanded to spread the truth in the world by means of supernatural signs and holy teachings" (Majmu`a Ishtiharat, vol. iii, p. 342).

"The case of the second coming has already been decided in the court of Jesus, and the verdict has been pronounced in our favour. Jesus rejected the belief of the Jews that the prophet Elijah would re-appear in the world, declaring the prophecy to be metaphorical, and considered John the Baptist to be the fulfiller of the prophecy. Look how clearly this verdict of Jesus resolves the issue in contention. Tell us, if two parties have a dispute on an issue, and one of them puts forward the decision of a prophet as a precedent while the other party is unable to give a precedent, which of the two is more worthy of being believed? (Tuhfa Golarwiya, p. 6).

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad always denied the allegation levelled against him that he claimed to be a prophet (nabi). Had he indeed been a claimant to prophethood (nubuwwat), he could not have made denials such as those quoted below.

"There is no claim of prophethood; on the contrary, the claim is of sainthood (muhaddasiyyat) which has been advanced by the command of God" (Izala Auham, p. 421).

"In conclusion, there is no claim of prophethood on my part either. The claim is only of being a saint (wali) and a reformer (mujaddid)" (Majmu`a Ishtiharat, vol. ii, p. 298).

"By way of a fabrication, they slander me by saying that I have made a claim to prophethood. But it should be remembered that all this is a fabrication. Our belief is that our master and leader, Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa, peace and the blessings of God be upon him, is the last of the Prophets. We believe in angels, miracles, and all the doctrines held by the Ahl-e Sunnah" (Kitab al-Barriyya, footnote, p. 182).

"In confronting the present ulama, this humble one has sworn many times by God that I am not a claimant to any prophethood. But these people still do not desist from declaring me as kafir (Letter to Maulavi Ahmad-ullah of Amritsar, 27 January 1904).

If Hazrat Mirza had indeed claimed to be a prophet, he could not have written that he was a recipient of "the revelation of saints" (wahy wilayat) or (wahy muhaddasiyyat). This, however, was exactly what he wrote:

"Has it ever happened in the world that God should have so helped an impostor that he could be speaking a lie against God for eleven years, to the effect that His wahy wilayat and wahy muhaddasiyyat (revelation as granted to saints) comes to him, and God would not cut off his jugular vein? (Ainah Kamalat Islam, p. 323).

"I have noticed that at the time of revelation, which descends on me in the form of wahy wilayat, I feel myself in the hands of an extremely strong external force" (Barakat-ud-Dua, p. 21).

If Hazrat Mirza had indeed claimed to be a prophet, he would not have called himself ‘a follower and a prophet’ or ‘a follower from one aspect and a prophet from another’, because these two aspects are combined only in a muhaddas (Muslim saint), a prophet only having the aspect of prophethood. He wrote:

"So the fact that he (the Messiah to come) has been called a follower (of the Holy Prophet Muhammad) as well as a prophet indicates that the qualities of both discipleship and prophethood will be found in him, as it is essential for both of these to be found in a muhaddas. The possessor of full prophethood, however, has only the quality of prophethood. To conclude, sainthood (muhaddasiyyat) is coloured with both colours. For this reason, in (the Divine revelations published in) Barahin Ahmadiyya, God named this humble one as follower and as prophet" (Izala Auham, p. 533).

"I cannot be called only ‘prophet’, but a prophet from one aspect and a follower from another" (Haqiqat al-Wahy, footnote, p.150).

"There is no need now to follow each prophet or Book separately that came before the Holy Quran because the prophethood of Muhammad comprises and comprehends them all. All truths that take man to God are to be found in it, no new truth shall come after it, nor is there any previous truth that is not in it. Hence, upon this prophethood (of Muhammad) ends all prophethood. Rendering obedience to this prophethood takes one to God very easily, and one receives the gift of God's love and His revelation in a much greater measure than people used to before (the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad). However, its perfect follower cannot be called just a ‘prophet’ because it would be derogatory to the perfect and complete prophethood of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. But both the words ummati (follower of the Holy Prophet) and nabi (prophet) can jointly be applied to him, because that would not be derogatory to the prophethood of the Holy Prophet Muhammad" (Al-Wasiyyat, pp. 27-28).

"Islam is the only religion in the world having the virtue that, provided the truest and fullest obedience is rendered to our leader and master, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and the blessings of God be upon him, one can have the privilege of Divine revelation. For this reason it is recorded in the hadith, 'Ulama ummati ka-anbiya Bani Israil', that is, ‘the spiritual savants from among my followers are like the prophets of Israel.’ In this saying, too, the godly savants are on the one hand called followers, and on the other hand they are called the likes of prophets" (Supplement to Barahin Ahmadiyya, Part V, pp. 182-184).

So take heed and beware of slandering this great man. You should know who he is. Below is an account of his life which he himself had written.

Brief Account of the Life of the Promised Messiah:

"I was born of a distinguished family of chiefs and rulers. One of my ancestors, I am told, migrated to this country from Samarkand. The king of the time made him a chief and placed him in command of a force. Later on, when the Sikhs rose to power and overran the country and oppressed the people, they wrested from my family, along with others, all their territories, and imprisoned its members and forced them to flee from their capital. It was winter and the cold was biting. They had to leave the town by night shivering with cold and overcome with grief. They sojourned in the territory of another chief, who treated them with a degree of kindness and showed unsolicited sympathy towards them and in consideration of their sad plight granted them an allowance for their maintenance. This was however very inadequate for their needs.

"Then with the advent of the British power and the passing away of the devilish regime and the restoration of peace my ancestors returned to their homes with the friends of their exile, and offered thanks to God. Some of the villages that were formerly under their rule were now restored to them with their other possessions and departed fortune once more returned to the family. They had a twofold reason for gratification. Firstly, they were restored to peace, and secondly, they came to enjoy religious freedom. Little, however, of these ancestral possessions actually came down to me and after the death of my father, I became a veritable derelict. There was indeed a time when, except for a few people of my own village, nobody knew me, and of those who lived in the surroundings villages only a few knew me by sight. My condition was that when I returned home from a journey nobody cared to enquire where I had stayed.

"This unimportance and want of fame were dear to me for I had a natural aversion to fame, honour and wealth and preferred a life of seclusion and felt weary and suffered in mind when visitors came to see me. My father had despaired of me and thought that I was like a stranger in the family, the guest of a night who merely shared their table. He was of the opinion that as I loved solitude I could not possibly manage a big house or have dealings with people. In consequence, he often scolded me and expressed himself in harsh and bitter words. He counselled me in public and in private to strive to better my worldly fortune, holding up before me pictures of worldly comfort. But on the other hand, my mind felt more and more inclined towards God. My brother also, who bore the mind of my father, dealt with me in a like manner. Now, God took them both away before long, because, as He told me, He wished that there should be none left to chide me or tune his rebuke to hurt me. Then my Lord gradually drew me towards honour and election. I had no knowledge that He would elect me to be the Promised Messiah or fulfil His promise through me. Indeed I preferred to be left in the corner of solitude, because I found all my pleasure in seclusion and want of renown. I coveted neither worldly nor religious fame and yearned to lead the life of a common mortal. It was the explicit command of God that at last overpowered me and brought me to public notice and compelled me to deliver my message to mankind. He is the Sovereign Lord and to Him it belongs to command whatever He wills.

I have a Friend and I am filled with His Love,
And I have an aversion to all rank and dignity.

I see that the world and its votaries are stricken with famine,
But that the land of my love never suffers from want.

Men incline towards worldly pleasures while I
Incline towards the Face that gives delight and thrill.

I am attached to the shinning skirt of my Beloved
So much so that what was dull and dark has been illuminated in me.

My foes have been turned into the swine of the wilderness,
And their women have been converted into worse than curs.

They abuse me and I know not why they abuse me.
Should I prove false to my Friend or turn my back to Him!

I have sworn that I will not part from Him,
Even though the lions or the wolves should tear my body.

The kingdom of men depart with their death,
But the Kingdom of my Love forever stays.

"Thus I had withdrawn myself from men, and having detached myself from all earthly love or hate, consecrated myself wholly to God. For, while I was still young, I had come to realise that God had created me for a higher purpose. My mind yearned after spiritual advancement and communication with God. The jewel of my nature sparkled even on the surface and wanted not the miner to dig to discover it.

"My father felt sad on my account and my indifference to and want of interest in worldly matters troubled him and filled him with anxiety. It was his constant wish to see me rise in fortune and to regain the power and prestige of my forefathers. He wanted that I should achieve the highest worldly eminence. But God had designed other eminence for me. And it came to pass as God had wished. He vouchsafed to me a light in the gloom of a long dark night, and illumined my mind in order to illumine nations and peoples. He was gracious to me and made me the Messiah regarding whom He had given a promise of old. He helped me in diverse ways and manifested His signs. He displayed in the heavens the signs of the eclipse of the sun and the moon, in order to prove the truth of my claim and to save it from imputation of being an idle myth. When I announced my claim of being the Promised Messiah, the people of my country looked upon me with extreme disfavour. They called me a heretic and rejected me and would have killed me had not the fear of the rulers restrained their hands. They argued that the Promised Messiah would descend from the sky as it was written in the ancient books, and decided by the consensus of theologians. They stuck to that opinion and when I spoke to them they would not listen to me, and when I tried to explain things to them, they would not understand. I have, therefore, resolved to carry my message to other people so as to make them witnesses against these people, and thus have a double condemnation against my adversaries. And my help is with the Lord, the Best Master and the Best Helper."

So the answer to the question "Is the Imam right or wrong?" is that the Imam is wrong and he should read what is written above carefully and beware of slander.

Peace be with you.
