(Mirza's) prophethood. (Mirza Mahmud's speech pub- lished in Al-Fazl, Qadian, vol.<br />
13/3, dated July 11,1925, Qadiani Mazhab, Fifth Edition, Fifth Chapter, No. 74).<br />
It is now quite clear from the above-cited statements of Mirza that, if it is denied that he<br />
received revelations and that he was a prophet, then in his (Mirza's) opinion the belief in<br />
the Prophethood of Muhammad (SAW) becomes (Allah forbid) null and void and the<br />
religion of Islam is no more than a collection of stories. Declaring such Islam as cursed,<br />
satanic and contemptible, Mirza expresses his disgust with it, rather proclaims himself to<br />
be the greatest of all atheists. The Muslims should take this as a warning. Can there be a<br />
more heinous form of infidelity, heresy, Zandaqah and atheism than to revile the noble<br />
Prophet (SAW) and the religion of Islam to one's fill?<br />
4. The Muslims believe that Muhammad (SAW) is the Prophet of Allah. But in his<br />
pamphlet, Ek Ghalati ka Izalah, the Mirza has, on the basis of his "revelations", decl<strong>are</strong>d<br />
that he himself is --Allah forbid--Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah. As the <strong>Qadianis</strong> have<br />
firm faith in the wahi of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, they believe that the late Mirza was<br />
Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah, and they regard as Kafir all those who do not believe<br />
that Mirza was Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah.<br />
5. On the basis of the Qur'an and the Traditions (Ahadith) of uninterrupted narration, the<br />
Muslims believe that Hazrat Isa (Christ) (AS) was raised up to the heavens alive and that<br />
when the Day of Resurrection draws near, he will come down and kill Dajjal (Anti-<br />
Christ). The Mirzais, on the contrary believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani himself<br />
is Isa and the prophecies mentioned in the Qur'an and the Traditions about the descending<br />
of Hazrat Isa (AS) apply to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani.<br />
Thus, the <strong>Qadianis</strong> profess countless Zindiqana (heretic) beliefs about which scholars of<br />
the Ummah have compiled many books which make it abundantly clear that the <strong>Qadianis</strong><br />
<strong>are</strong> Kafirs, apostates, heretics and Zindeeq.<br />
Fourthly: Funeral prayers <strong>are</strong> offered only for Muslims. It is not lawful to offer funeral<br />
prayer for a non-Muslim. The Qur'an says: :..and never (O Muhammad) pray for one of<br />
them who dies, nor stand by his grave, for they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger,<br />
and they died while they were evil-doers". (HQ 9.84) All jurists (of Islam) <strong>are</strong> unanimous<br />
on the point that funeral prayer is lawful on the condition that the deceased was a<br />
Muslim. There is consensus of opinion that funeral prayer is not lawful for a non-Muslim,<br />
nor is it permitted to pray for his salvation and bury him in the graveyards of the<br />
Muslims.<br />
After these introductory remarks answers to the questions <strong>are</strong> given seriatim:-<br />
ANSWER TO THE FIRST QUESTION<br />
If the Muslims who offered funeral prayer for theMirzai were unaw<strong>are</strong> of his belief, they<br />
committed a vice for which they should implore Allah's forgiveness, because they<br />
committed an unlawful act by offering funeral prayer for an apostate Mirzai.<br />
If they offered funeral prayer for him, despite their knowledge that the man believed in<br />
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's so-called prophethood, had faith in his 'wahi" (revelation) and<br />
denied that Hazrat Isa (AS) will come down (to earth), then they (the Muslims) should all
