renew their Iman (belief) and Nikah (marriage contract), because it is Kufr to consider
the beliefs of an apostate as Islam. Their Iman and Nikah both became null and void. If
anyone of them had performed the HaiJ, it is incumbent on him to perform the HajJ
again.
It must be mentioned here that the Qadianis do not consider it lawful to offer funeral
prayer for a Muslim, so much so that according to their belief even the funeral prayers for
innocent Muslim children are unlawful. Mirza Mahmud, the second vice regent of the
Qadianis writes in his book, Anwar-i-Khilafat:
"Another question remains (to be answered): The non-Ahmadis (i.e. the Muslims) deny
the promised Masih, (Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani) so we: should not offer funeral prayers
for them; but if a small child of a non-Ahmadi dies, why should funeral prayer not be
offered for him when he is not guilty of denying the promised Masih?
"I put this question to the inquirer: If this is correct, then why are no funeral prayers held
for the children of Hindus and Christians? How many are there who offer funeral prayers
for them? The fact remains that the Shari'at considers the children to be of the same faith
which their parents follow. Thus, the child of a non-Ahmadi is also non-Ahmadi.
Therefore, his funeral prayer should not be offered. I further say that a child is not a
sinner and needs no funeral prayer. The funeral prayer for a child is really an invocation
for the benefit of his survivor; and his survivors do not belong to us. As such, funeral
prayer should not be offered even for a child". (Anwar-i-Kh~lafat, p.93).
A Fatwa by Mirza Mahmud was published in Al-Fazl, dated 23rd October, 1922, to the
effect that: "Just as no funeral prayer can be offered for a Christian child, although he is
innocent, in the same way no funeral prayer can be offered for a non-Ahmadi child".
(Qadiani Mazhab, 5th Edition. 13th Chap. No. 56).
As such. following the beliefs of his religion, Choudhry Zafarullah Khan the then Foreign
Minister), did not participate in the funeral prayer of the Quaid-i-Azam. When he was
asked to account for this before the Munir Enquiry Tribunal, he replied:
"Maulana Shabbir Ahmad Usmani, the leader of the funeral prayer, has declared that the
Ahmadis are Kafirs and liable to be executed. So I could not decide to join a prayer
which was being conducted under the Imamat of the Maulana". fReport of the Enquiry
Tribunal, Puniab, p.212).
When he was asked outside the Tribunal:
"Why did you not join the Quaid-i-Azam's funeral prayer?" He replied, "You may take
me to be the Musalman Minister of an infidel Government or the infidel employee of a
Muslim Government". (Zamindar, Lahore, dated 8th February, 1950).
When the Press published reports about this adamant attitude of Choudhry Zafarullah
Khan, then the Rabwah Association of the Ahmadis issued the following reply to this:
"An objection is being raised against Choudhry Zafarullah Khan as to why he did not join
the funeral prayer of the Quaid-i-Azam. The entire world knows that the Quaid-i-Azam
