From his early life, he dedicated himself to prayer, and the study of the Holy Quran and other scriptures. He was deeply pained to observe the plight of Islam, which was being attacked from all directions. In order to defend Islam and present its teachings in their pristine purity, he wrote more than ninety books, thousands of letters, and participated in many religious debates. He argued that Islam is a living faith, which can lead man to establish communion with God to achieve moral and spiritual perfection. Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as started experiencing divine dreams, visions, and revelations at a young age. In 1889, under divine command, he started accepting initiation into the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. The divine revelations continued to increase and he was commanded by God to announce that God had appointed him to be the same Reformer of the latter days as prophesied by various religions under different titles. He claimed to be the same Promised Messiah and Mahdi whose advent had been prophesied by the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is now established in more than two hundred countries. After his demise in 1908, the institution ofkhil afat (successorship) was established to succeed him, in fulfilment of the prophecies made in the Holy Quran and by the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw. Hadrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad aba is the Fifth Successor to the Promised Messiah as and the present head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Publisher’s Note Please note that, in the translation that follows, words given in paren- theses ( ) are the words of the Promised Messiah as. If any explanatory words or phrases are added by the translators for the purpose of clar- ification, they are put in square brackets [ ]. Footnotes given by the publisher are marked ‘[Publisher]’. The translators’ primary objective was to adhere to the author’s original text as strictly as possible. Contemporary nineteenth century classical lexicons were utilized to precisely define Urdu, Arabic and Persian words and phrases. To preserve the author’s writing style, and particularly his points of emphasis, we have retained his original under- lined and bold text styling as well as exclamation marks, including end punctuation for rhetorical questions. However, to facilitate readability for an English speaking audience, punctuation and pauses were inserted as needed, and longer paragraphs were broken into smaller ones. References to the Holy Quran contain the name of the surah [i.e., chapter] followed by a chapter:verse citation, e.g., Surah al-Jumu‘ah, 62:4, and counts Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim [‘In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful’] as the first verse in every chapter it appears. The following abbreviations have been used: saw sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, meaning ‘peace and blessings of Allah be upon him’, is written after the name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw. x BarĀhĪn-e-aHmadiyya — Part three as ‘alaihis-salam, meaning ‘peace be on him’, is written after the names of Prophets other than the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw. ra radiyallahu ‘anhu/‘anha/‘anhum, meaning ‘Allah be pleased with him/her/them’, is written after the names of the Companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw or of the Promised Messiah as. rta rahmatullah ‘alaihi/‘alaiha/‘alaihim, meaning ‘Allah shower His mercy upon him/her/them’, is written after the names of those deceased pious Muslims who are not Companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw or of the Promised Messiah as. aba ayyadahullahu Ta‘ala binasrihil-‘Aziz, meaning ‘may Allah the Almighty help him with His powerful support’, is written after the name of the present head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hadrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul- Masih V aba. Readers are urged to recite the full salutations when reading the book. In general, we have adopted the following system established by the Royal Asiatic Society for our transliteration. at the beginning of a word, pronounced as a, i, u preceded by a ا very slight aspiration, like h in the English word honour. .th – pronounced like th in the English word thing ث .h – a guttural aspirate, stronger than h ح .kh – pronounced like the Scottish ch in loch خ .dh – pronounced like the English th in that ذ .s – strongly articulated s ص .d – similar to the English th in this ض .t – strongly articulated palatal t ط .z – strongly articulated z ظ Publisher’s Note xi a strong guttural, the pronunciation of which must be learnt – ‘ ع by the ear. gh – a sound similar to the French r in grasseye, and to the غ German r.

The Royal Asiatic Society’s rules of xii BarĀhĪn-e-aHmadiyya — Part three transliteration for names of persons, places, and other terms, are not fol- lowed throughout the book as many of the names contain non-Arabic characters and carry a local transliteration and pronunciation style. Foreword Under the guidance and auspices of Hadrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul-Masih V aba [the Fifth Successor to the Promised Messiah as], the English translation of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, Parts I & II, was published in 2012. By the grace of Allah, we are now presenting the English translation of Part III. The translations of Part IV and Part V will follow, God-willing. After the Promised Messiah as published Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, Parts I & II, in 1880, there were urgent requests from Muslims, as well as non-Muslims, for the remainder of the book, but the funds needed for its publication were insufficient. He, therefore, arranged to publish, as Part III, whatever could be financed with the available funds. As a consequence, the

  • The District Magistrate Remarks: "On the 9Th and 10Th, Dr
    CALIPHATE CONFERENCE 201 The District Magistrate remarks: "On the 9th and 10th, Dr. Nur Muhammad Walad Hukumatrai and others came when called. They did not make immediate promises, but undertook to consult the Caliphate Committee. A consultation took place on the 9th evening and subsequently Dr. Nur Muhammad, Amminudin Munshi, Haji Shah, Bakhsh and Haji Ahmad Patoli were reported to be against any co-operation with the District Magistrate, and it was not clear that they would fall in line with the other members. Though assured that Pir Mahbub Shah would not come on the 19th to Hyderabad, I got information that he was coming and he arrived on the 18th. I had told the members of the Committee to keep him out of Hyderabad as he was likely to advocate jehad. Sheikh Abdul Majid pretended to be reasonable, but defended the Bengal resolutions to me and also in a reply to Jethmal's letter in the Bharatwasi. Notices, therefore, under section 42, Bombay District Police Act, were served on the above few persons. " As Amminudin stated in his speech at the Holmstead Hall that he would have said much if his mouth had not been stopped by a piece of paper and Nur Muhammad, Pleader, told a C.I.D., officer that Pir Mahbub Shah was restrained with difficulty from proclaiming jehad, the notices had a good effect". (q) Hyderabad, March 27th.—The District Magistrate writes: "On 22nd I saw Kamil Shah, and his brother Salim Shah at Tando Mahomad Khan. Both are Honorary Magistrates and the former Vice-President, Taluka Local Board.

Ali Dayan Hasan, senior South Asia researcher On May 28, 2010, extremist Islamist militants attacked two Ahmadiyya mosques in the central Pakistani city of Lahore with guns, grenades, and suicide bombs, killing 94 people and injuring well over a hundred. Twenty-seven people were killed at the Baitul Nur Mosque in the Model Town area of Lahore; 67 were killed at the Darul Zikr mosque in the suburb of Garhi Shahu. The Punjabi Taliban, a local affiliate of the Pakistani Taliban, called the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility.

Some have argued this to reflect the growing conservative outlook of Indonesians. While such a view may be naïve, there could be some reason for concern. Controversies Surrounding the Ahmadiyyah Sect THE AHMADIYAH sect was founded in1889 by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, a preacher from the village of Qadian in Punjab, India. The followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad are commonly known as the Ahmadiyyahs or Qadianis. The main controversy surrounding the Ahmadiyyah is Ghulam Ahmad's claim that he was the Imam Mahdi (Messiah) whose advent was foretold by Prophet Muhammad and had come to save the world. Later, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad declared himself as a prophet and was denounced by mainstream Muslims as heretical. Other aspects, such as the Ahmadiyyah’s belief that the leadership of the Muslims would transfer to ‘Caliphs’, seen as successors to Ghulam Ahmad, were viewed controversial by mainstream Muslims.
