The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was established in 1889 by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas (1835-1908) in Qadian, a small and remote village in the Punjabi province of India. He claimed to be the expected reformer of the latter days, the Awaited One of the world community of religions (The Mahdi and Messiah). The Movement he started is an embodiment of the benevolent message of Islam – peace, universal brotherhood, and submission to the Will of God – in its pristine purity. Hadhrat Ahmadas proclaimed Islam as the religion of man: “The religion of the people of the right path” (98:6).The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was created under divine guidance with the objective to rejuvenate Islamic moral and spiritual values. It encourages interfaith dialogue, diligently defends Islam and tries to correct misunderstandings about Islam in the West. It advocates peace, tolerance, love and understanding among followers of different faiths. It firmly believes in and acts upon the Qur’anic teaching: “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:257).

    PROTEST FOR THE PROPHET: THE PRODUCTION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE ANTI- AHMADI MOVEMENT A thesis submitted by Shayan Rajani In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History TUFTS UNIVERSITY August 2012 ADVISERS: Ayesha Jalal Kris Manjapra 1 Table of Contents Introduction 3 Chapter 1 9 Contesting Christianity Chapter 2 24 Converging on Anti-Ahmadi Politics Chapter 3 49 Challenge from the Margins Chapter 4 79 Transnational Constitution-Writing Conclusion 112 Bibliography 116 2 Introduction On September 7, 1974, the National Assembly of Pakistan unanimously amended the constitution to deny the Ahmadi community legal standing as Muslims. Most Ahmadis believed in the prophethood of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, a nineteenth century religious reformer from the Punjab. Many had come to see this belief as an affront to Muhammad’s status as khatm-i-nubuwwat or seal of the prophets, which is predominantly, although not universally, interpreted to mean that Muhammad was God’s last prophet.1 With the passage of the Second Amendment, this predominant interpretation was enshrined in the constitution. In his speech on that day, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto insisted, “This is a religious issue. It is a decision affecting our faith and it is a decision of the whole House, of the entire nation.”2 His statement was a mischaracterization on two counts. The issue of khatm-i-nubuwwat was not “purely religious.”3 Nor was the amendment simply a result of formal political process in the National Assembly. In fact, Bhutto had been strong-armed into passing the amendment by the anti-Ahmadi movement.

  • S Sej 044715 BAB II
    BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA Bagian ini merupakan hasil tinjauan kepustakaan dan telaah berbagai referensi yang berhubungan dengan perkembangan Ahmadiyah di Eropa pada masa Mirza Bashirudin Mahmud Ahmad sebagaimana yang digunakan sebagai judul dalam skripsi ini. Kajian pustaka ini berguna sebagai landasan dalam mengambil posisi terhadap objek kajian. Sumber informasi yang khusus menyoroti gerakan Ahmadiyah di Eropa secara menyeluruh memang terbatas. Kelangkaan sumber ini bisa jadi karena penulisan mengenai Ahmadiyah lebih terfokus kepada teologinya dan sedikit sekali yang mengkaji Ahmadiyah dari perspektif gerakan dakwah atau missionaris terutama kajian tentang perkembangannya di Eropa. 2.1 Perkembangan Ahmadiyah di Eropa Kajian terhadap perkembangan Ahmadiyah di Eropa telah banyak ditulis seperti oleh, Tahir Ahmad (2004), Alhadar (1990), Zafrullah Khan (1978), Karimulah Zirvi (2008), Maulana Dost Muhammad (1965) dan beberapa penulis yang lainnya. Perkembangan Ahmadiyah di Eropa tidak bisa terlepas dari sejarah dan corak gerakannya, Ahmadiyah seperti yang diungkapkan oleh Bashir Ahmad (1998:7) bahwa dalam kepercayaan Ahmadiyah tugas yang diemban oleh Agama Islam dapat dibagi menjadi dua bidang yang pokok yaitu, pertama tabligh (propaganda), yaitu menyampaikan suara kebenaran pada orang-orang yang 14 belum masuk Islam dan berusaha menarik mereka ke dalam lingkungan orang- orang yang mukhlis. Kedua adalah tarbiat (pendidikan), menanam dan membina pemahaman dalam beragama. Kedua bidang tersebut dipandang oleh Ahmadiyah sebagai bagian yang penting bila salah satu bagian dari dua hal itu terabaikan akan mengakibatkan tatanan organisasi Islam akan hancur, yang satu merupakan pemikul panji kuantitas dan yang lainnya pemikul panji kualitas. Abdur Rahim Dard (2008:11) dalam bukunya berjudul Life of Ahmad, Founder of The Amadiyya Movement berpendapat dalam pandangannya mengenai gerakan Ahmadiyah.

  • Sectarian Strife in Pakistan: a Legacy of Nineteen Eighties
    Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 17, No. 2, July-December 2012 Sectarian Strife in Pakistan: A Legacy of Nineteen Eighties * Imrana Begum Abstract In religious and ethnic violence the human race faces ‘a moral collapse that leads to the most diabolical acts of cruelty’.1 Sectarian strife took roots in Pakistan in the decade of eighties. Scholars have articulated two different views about the emergence of sectarianism in Pakistan. One school of thought blames General Zia’s Islamization policy for the emergence of this phenomenon that established a sort of state monopoly on religion and the majority Sunni sect became more overtly dominant than ever before. On the other hand scholars like S. V.R. Nasr claims that the sectarian violence in the eighties was the direct result of the unfolding Iranian revolution and the beginning Afghan-Soviet war in the end of 1979. Pakistan utterly failed to contain the impact of these developments on its domestic politics. In undivided India there used to be sporadic outbreaks of Shia-Sunni clashes particularly in Bengal, Awadh and northern India2 but after the creation of Pakistan, sectarian clashes were not so common nor were they on a big scale.3 ––––––––– The history of Islam in South Asia shows that Shia and Sunni sects have lived side by side in considerable harmony and peace in the region. The first president of All India Muslim League, Sir Agha Khan III was the spiritual leader of Ismaili Shia4 and Quaid-i-Azam, the founder of * Dr. Imrana Begum, Assistant Professor, Humanities Department, NED University of Engineering & Technology, Karachi.
