COULD HE BE A PROPHET???
AN URGENT APPEAL TO THE MUSLIM
UMMAH OF THE WORLD
All praises to Allah Almighty and Peace be upon the holy Prophet and his Companians
(Sahabas)!! The holy Prophet (SAW) once defined "Faith" as advice and included it
amongst one of the obligations of our faith for the Muslim Ummah. Therefore, the
universal body of "Tahaffuz-e-Khatme Nubuwwat" wish to invite the attention of the
Muslim Ummah towards an important universal and religious matter, which is "The
Qadiani problem".
This group (the so-called Ahmadi or Ahmadiya group) was founded by one Mirza
Ghulam Ahmed from Qadian, a town in the district of Gurdaspur in India. He started his
campaign by confronting non-Muslims in polemics. But later on when he found people
reposing faith in him he started making improbable claims. In 1884 he claimed himself to
be a "Mujaddid" of 14th century. In the year 1891 he disclosed a revelation, viz "Prophet
Isa alaihis salaam is dead and thou art now the promised Masih as described in the holy
Quran and Hadith". In 1892 he claimed himself to be both, Masih as well as Mahdi. In
1901 he claimed that whereas Christ is described as a "nabi" (prophet) in a Hadith [Sahih
Muslim], therefore, he too was a "nabi" or prophet. In one of his pamphlets titled, "Ek
Ghalati Ka Izalah" he claimed that he was exactly the same as Muhammed-ur-Rasool
Allah (Allah forbid). In other words, he proclaimed himself as the re-incarnation of the
holy Prophet and his prophethood (SAW). Mirza Ghulam Ahmad pronounced the
following articles of faith to his followers:
Belief No. 1
That the holy Prophet Muhammad (S A W) has reappeared in the shape and person of
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani, and in the verse of the Holy Qu’ran “MUHAMMAD-
UR-RUSULLAH WALL LAZEENA MA’HU” Muhammad ur-Rasullah stands for Mirza
Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. (Ek Ghalati Ka Izalah).
Belief No. 2
The Qadiani faith places Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in the same respect, status, nomenclature,
and honour as that of the holy prophet Muhammad (SAW). ( Al-Fazl, September 16,
1925, Qadiani Mazhab, p. 275).
Belief No. 3
The Qadiani faith enjoins upon all human beings to accept Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as we
recognise the holy prophet (S A W), because from 14th century onward Mirza Ghulam
Ahmad is a proclaimed prophet (Tazkirah p. 260).
Belief No. 4
The Qadiani faith considers Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as Khatam-ul-Anbia, the last prophet.
(Al Fazl, 26th Sept 1915).
