By: Mufti Taqi Usmani & Moulana Sami-ul-Haq THE VIEW OF THE UMMAH ON QADIYANISM ﺑِﺴْﻢِ اﷲِ اﻟﺮﱠﺣْﻤﻦِ اﻟﺮﱠﺣِﯿﻢِ وَﻣَﻦْ أَﻇْﻠَﻢُ ﻣِﻤﱠﻦِ اﻓْﺘَﺮَى ﻋَﻠَﻰ اﻟﻠّﮫِ ﻛَﺬِﺑًﺎ أَوْ ﻗَﺎلَ أُوْﺣِﻲَ إِﻟَﻲﱠ وَﻟَﻢْ ﯾُﻮحَ إِﻟَﯿْﮫِ ﺷَﻲْءٌ وَﻣَﻦ ﻗَﺎلَ ﺳَﺄُﻧﺰِلُ ﻣِﺜْﻞَ ﻣَﺎ أَﻧَﺰلَ اﻟﻠّﮫُ وَﻟَﻮْ ﺗَﺮَى إِذِ اﻟﻈﱠﺎﻟِﻤُﻮنَ ﻓِﻲ ﻏَﻤَﺮَاتِ اﻟْﻤَﻮْتِ وَاﻟْ ﻤَﻶﺋِﻜَﺔُ ﺑَﺎﺳِﻄُﻮاْ أَﯾْﺪِﯾﮭِﻢْ أَﺧْﺮِﺟُﻮاْ أَﻧﻔُﺴَﻜُﻢُ اﻟْﯿَﻮْمَ ﺗُﺠْﺰَوْنَ ﻋَﺬَابَ اﻟْﮭُﻮنِ ﺑِﻤَﺎ ﻛُﻨﺘُﻢْ ﺗَﻘُﻮﻟُﻮنَ ﻋَﻠَﻰ اﻟﻠّﮫِ ﻏَﯿْﺮَ اﻟْﺤَﻖﱢ وَﻛُﻨﺘُﻢْ ﻋَﻦْ آﯾَﺎﺗِﮫِ ﺗَﺴْﺘَﻜْﺒِﺮُونَ (ﺳﻮرة اﻷﻧﻌﺎم ٦ اﻻﯾﺔ ٩٣ ) And who can be more wicked than one who forges a lie against Allah (SWT) or says; “This has been revealed to me”, when nothing has (ever) been revealed to him. Al-Qur’an (6:93) وَ إِﻧﱠﮫ ﺳَﯿَﻜُﻮْنُ ﻓِﻲْ أُﻣﱠﺘِﻲْ ﻛَﺬﱠاﺑُﻮْنَ ﺛَﻼَﺛُﻮْنَ ﻛُﻠﱡﮭُﻢْ ﯾَﺰْﻋَﻢُ أَﻧﱠﮫ ﻧَﺒِﻲﱞ وَ أَﻧَﺎ ﺧَﺎﺗَﻢُ اﻟﻨﱠﺒِﯿِّﯿْﻦَ ﻻَ ﻧَﺒِﻲﱠ ﺑَﻌْﺪِيْ (ﺳﻨﻦ اﻟﺘﺮﻣﺬي ﻓﻲ ﺑﺎب اﻟﻔﺘﻦ رﻗﻢ ٢١٤۵) The Holy Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said, “Verily thirty liars will be born in my ummah; every one of them will claim to be a Prophet, though I am the last Prophet, and there will be no Prophet after me.” (At-Tirmizi) 2 THE VIEW OF THE UMMAH ON QADIYANISM A plea from the Architect of Pakistan: “In my opinion the best course of action for the government would be to declare Qadiyanis a separate (religious) group. This will be in direct accordance with the policy of the Qadiyanis, and the Muslims will treat them with the same toleration as they award to the followers of other religions.” (Dr Muhammad Iqbal: Harf-e-Iqbal/P118 Lahore) “The Muslim ummah has every right to demand the separation of Qadiyanis. If the government doesn’t accept this demand then the Muslims will think that the government is deliberately delaying this decision. After all; in 1919 the government didn’t wait for a demand from the Sikhs to be separated from the Hindus, then why is the government waiting for such a demand from the Qadiyanis?” (Dr Muhammad Iqbal: Harf-e-Iqbal) 3 THE VIEW OF THE UMMAH ON QADIYANISM Opinion of Mirza Basheer Ahmad Qadiyani (son of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad): “The claim of the promised Messiah (i.e. Mr. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad) that he is appointed by Allah (SWT), and that Allah (SWT) communicates with him can only have two distinct possibilities. Either he is a liar in his claims and he has attributed a great lie upon Allah (SWT), in which case he is a KAAFIR; indeed a KAAFIR of the worst kind, or the promised Messiah is truthful in his claims and Allah (SWT) is indeed in communication with him in which case this title of KUFFAR should be truly attributed to the ones who deny his claim. Thus you are free to make the choice as to either call the deniers of the promised Messiah “Muslims” or accept the promised Messiah as truthful and call his deniers “KUFFAR”. It is not possible for you to call both of them Muslims at the same time. (Mirza Basheer Ahmad (M.A): Kalimatul Fas’l/p123) Cited in the “Review of Religions: Vol14/March-April 1915 A quotation from Muhammad Ali Lahori (Ameer of Lahore Jamaat): “The Ahmadiyya Movement stands in the same relation to Islam in which Christianity stood to Judaism” (Excerpt from “Mubahisa-e-Rawalpindi”: printed in Qadiyan/p240) 4 THE VIEW OF THE UMMAH ON QADIYANISM The Belief of the Finality of Prophethood (Khatme-Nubuwwat) And The Mirza’i Jamaats: “We have said in our resolution that, “It is an established fact that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadiyan has claimed Prophethood after Hazrat Muhammad (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam)” The complete explanation of this claim is to be presented in the proceeding pages. 5 THE VIEW OF THE UMMAH ON QADIYANISM Table of Contents: Pubilishers Note 8 Prefece By Shaikh Mohammad Yousuf Albennuri 11 Introduction By Shaikh Taqi Usmani 22 Chapter One (1) Finality of Prophethood is the Basic Belief of Islam 23 Impostors of the Past 24 Mirza’s Claims towards Prophethood 26 Gradual claims of Mr. Mirza 28 Last Belief of Mr. Mirza 29 The Myth of Non-Legislative Prophethood 30 Mr. Mirza’s claim of Legislative Prophethood 30 The Belief of Finality of Prophethood is unambiguous 32 Myth of “Zilli” and Buroozi” Prophethood 36 Mirza’s claim of being Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) 37 Superiority to previous Prophets 38 The reality of the Final Prophet 39 Superior then Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) 40 Anyone can surpass Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) 42 Logical result of the Prophetic claim 44 Mirzais confess to be a separate sect 46 The writings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani 46 Fatawa of the First Mirzai Caliph Hakeem Nuruddin 49 Fatawa of the Second Mirzai Caliph Mirza Mahmood Ahmad 50 Statements ofww Mirzwa B.kashaheert mAhmeanud (Mb.Au)ww at.org 51 Statements of Muhmmad Ali Lahori 52 Practical Disassociation from the Muslims 53 To Pray Behind a Non-Ahmadi 53 Matrimony with Non-Ahmadis 54 The Funeral Prayers of Non-Ahmadis 55 The Funeral Prayer of Quaid-e-Azam 55 Their own demand of declaring themselves as a minority 56 Clarification regarding the statements of the Mirzais 57 6 THE VIEW OF THE UMMAH ON QADIYANISM www.khatmenubuwwat.org 7 THE VIEW OF THE UMMAH ON QADIYANISM Pubilishers Note This current work “Qadiyani Fitnah Aur Millat-e-Islamiyya ka Mauaqif” which you are reading was compiled when the “Qadiyani issue” was being debated in the Pakistan National Assembly 1974. The Chanab-Nagar (Rabwa) tragedy occurred on the 29th of May 1974. Muslim students attacked the Qadiyanis on the Rabwa Railway station which sparked off the “Khatme Nubuwwat (Finality of Prophethood)” movement throughout Pakistan. The Muslims of Pakistan were demanding that the Qadiyanis (both Qadiyanis and Lahoris) should be legally and constitutionally declared a Non-Muslim minority. Pakistan’s religious organisations formed an action committee to strengthen this movement under the banner of “Majlis-e-Amal Tahafuzze Khatme Nubuwwat (Action committee for the protection of Finality of Prophethood) which was headed by Maulana Muhammad Yusuf Binnori (RA). This demand by the Muslims was not new, the movement of “Khatme Nubuwwat” was also started in 1953 but it was crushed by the authorities with brute force resulting in the death of thousands of Muslims and imprisonment of many Muslims and scholars associated with the movement. www.khatmenubuwwat.org The movement continued from 29th of May 1974 until 7th of September 1974 when the Pakistan National Assembly amended the constitution and declared both groups of Qadiyanis (Qadiyanis and Lahoris) Non-Muslim minorities. This was not a hasty declaration but it was a result of prolonged, methodical and detailed debate and consideration. The leaders of both groups of Qadiyanis were summoned to the Assembly and they presented their standpoint verbally and in print. As their past 8 THE VIEW OF THE UMMAH ON QADIYANISM performances suggest they resorted to lying since their interests (as a Jamaat) were threatened and tried to twist the issue and present their differences with the Muslims as similar to being the differences between differing sects of Islam. The reality was on the contrary. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani had categorically claimed to be a Prophet, and declared everyone who didn’t believe in him an unbeliever (Kaafir) in no uncertain terms. Furthermore it is evident from his writing that he founded a new and parallel religion (to Islam) and not a sect. The scholars had declared him and his followers to be outside the fold of Islam based on their misguided beliefs and doctrine which was in contradiction to Islam. However the members of the National Assembly like the common Muslims were not aware of the full facts. Some of the scholars who were also members of the National Assembly (although not in large numbers) as being the participants of “Majlis-e-Amal Tahafuzze Khatme Nubuwwat” decided to convey the true nature of the Qadiyanis, their misguided beliefs and treacherous plans towards Pakistan and the Islamic world to the members of the Assembly in writing to inform them of the position of the Islamic world on this issue. Hence this book was compiled, the first part of which consists of religious arguments written by Mufti Taqi Usmani, and the second part which is comprised of Qadiyani politics and their ambitions was written by Maulana Sameel-Haq Akora Khattak. The work was completed under the guidance of Maulana Muhammad Yusuf Binnori (RA). www.khatmenubuwwat.org The original work was done in Urdu which was later translated and published in Arabic and English. The Arabic and English versions have long been out of print; however the need for an updated translation particularly in English for the Muslims in the west has long been felt. Khatme Nubuwwat Academy (London) is now presenting this updated translation prepared by Sayyidina Umar AlFaruq Islamic Institute (Birmingham) and we would like to thank all of our friends who have supported us in this effort and pray that Allah (SWT) rewards them greatly for their work. 9 THE VIEW OF THE UMMAH ON QADIYANISM Khatme Nubuwwat Academy (London) would like to acknowledge the sacrifices of all the Shuhada, workers and scholars of the “Khatme Nubuwwat” movement which was successful and resulted in the 1974 declaration of both groups of Qadiyanis as a Non-Muslim minority. The last part of the book contains the constitutional amendments about the Qadiyani minority and the Qadiyani ordinance of 1984.
