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. -

The Construction of the Ahmadiyya Identity
a?il w a n / nV From Sufism to Ahmadiyyat The presence of Jama‘at-i Ahmadiyya has reinvigorated the debate on Islamic orthodoxy in South Asia’s Muslim mainstream. Assessing Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s career has been made difficult by the polarized nature of the questions surrounding his reputation which oscillates between messianic saviour and antichrist, where one extreme represents pristine orthodoxy and the other a perverse infidelity beyond the pale of Islam. The pre-eminence of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad over his disciples, the esoteric ambiguity of his spiritual claims, the emphasis he placed on internal and external reform, and the exclusivity of his early followers are indicative of a medieval Sufi order. The advent of modernity, however, with the community’s lack of the isolation and the politics of colonial subjugation, influenced and shaped the development of an unexpected Ahmadi identity. The Ahmadi identity is not wholly based on Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s controversial claims, but also a result of the socio-political context of the early twentieth century South Asian environment from which it emerged. British rule in India initiated a reassessment of Muslim institutions and an evaluation of Muslim political autonomy leading up to the partition. Jama4at-i Ahmadiyya’s involvement in major political crises such as the conflict in Kashmir, the partition itself, and the Punjab disturbances of 1953 gradually led to the politicization Ahmadi Islam. As the notion of Ahmadiyyat became increasingly politicized the formation of the Ahmadi identity evolved, and the dichotomy between Ahmadiyyat and Islam widened. This thesis traces the development of the Ahmadi identity from its Sufi style beginnings to a formalized construct that has the potential to shed its Islamic origins altogether. -

Implications of Sunni Islam's Persecution of the Ahmadi
religions Article Doors to the Imaginal: Implications of Sunni Islam’s Persecution of the Ahmadi “Heresy” Ali Qadir ID New Social Research Programme & Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Tampere, 33014 Tampere, Finland; ali.qadir@uta.fi Received: 26 February 2018; Accepted: 16 March 2018; Published: 21 March 2018 Abstract: This article focuses on the implications of Sunni persecution of Ahmadiyyat by analyzing texts by the movement’s founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, to identify the epistemological basis of his claims to prophecy in 19th century India. Rather than situating the claims within an Arabist, juridico-theological lineage, as is normally done, the analysis emphasizes their points of convergence with Persianate, Illuminationist theosophy of the 12th century mystic, Suhravardi. This convergence rests on acknowledging the existence of an intermediate cosmological realm that Henry Corbin termed the mundus imaginalis, which can be accessed by the subtle imagination of spiritual adepts and prophets. Situating Ahmadiyyat within the Persianate theosophical tradition sheds new light on the community’s persecution. In declaring Ahmadiyyat as “heresy,” and in Sunnism’s symbolic violence against Ahmadiyyat, the theosophical features of Ahmad’s thought have also been marginalized. Consequently, Sunni Muslims around the world are excluding Muslim access to the imaginal realm. The conclusion points out how other communities have faced and are facing similar exclusion on similar grounds, and argues for further investigation into the axiom that exclusion of the imaginal is a feature of modernity. Keywords: Ahmadiyyat; heresy; Islam; Persianate; Sufi; imaginal; theosophy 1. Introduction The Ahmadiyya community has been the subject of much enquiry on account of its extreme persecution by Muslims worldwide.
