Appendix III: Ahmadiyya Muslim<br />

Beliefs<br />

What follows is a list of beliefs central <strong>to</strong> the Ahmadiyya<br />

Muslim Jamā‘at. Unlike the ‘Aqīdah at-Tahawī (quoted in Farhan<br />

Khan’s book), it is a simple list without long elaborations and<br />

complicated statements. It is based entirely on the Holy Qur’ān<br />

and ahādīth. It has been extracted from the booklet, Our<br />

Teaching, Pages 33-36.<br />

1. We believe that God exists and <strong>to</strong> assert His existence is<br />

<strong>to</strong> assert a most important truth.<br />

2. We believe that God is ONE without an equal in heaven<br />

or in earth. Everything else is His creation, dependent<br />

upon Him and His subsistence. He is without son or<br />

daughter or father or mother or wife and brother. He is<br />

one and unique.<br />

3. We believe that God is Holy; free from all imperfections<br />

and possessed of all perfections. There is no imperfection<br />

which may be found in Him. His power and knowledge<br />

are unlimited. He encompasses everything and there is<br />

nothing which encompasses Him. He is the First, the<br />

Last, the Manifest, the Hidden, the Crea<strong>to</strong>r, the Master.<br />
