In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the ever Merciful. The Difference between an Ahmadi Muslim and non-Ahmadi Muslim ‘An Invitation to Ahmadiyyat’ by Hadhrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad Khalitaftul Masih II رضی هللا عنه The Difference between an Ahmadi Muslim and non-Ahmadi Muslim • Ahmadis are Muslims and their religion is Islam. The slightest deviation from it they consider wrong and degrading. • The name Ahmadiyyat is the name of a reinterpretation or a restatement of the religion of the Holy Quran. The Difference between an Ahmadi Muslim and non-Ahmadi Muslim • The Death of Jesus son of Mary سالم ّ علیهما ال • Prophets greater than Jesus سالم ّ علیه ال, have died and their death brought no humiliation to them. The Difference between an Ahmadi Muslim and non-Ahmadi Muslim • The Finality of Prophethood And Muhammad is only a Messenger. Verily, all Messengers have passed away before him. If then he die or be slain, will you turn back on your heels? And he who turns back on his heels shall not harm Allah at all. And Allah will certainly reward the grateful. (Aal-e-`Imran Chapter 3 : Verse 145) • The Ahmadiyya Muslims believe that a follower of the Holy Prophet ﷺhas appeared as the Promised Messiah سالم ّ علیه ال The Difference between an Ahmadi Muslim and non-Ahmadi Muslim • The Ahmadis regard the founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (Gurdaspur, Punjab, India), as the Promised Messiah and Mahdi سالم ّ علیه ال. • The Holy Quran declares that Jesus is dead. The Traditions echo the same truth. • The Second Coming of the Messiah • In the Ahadith, the Promised One is called Jesus son of Mary. • The name Jesus is freely applied to persons other than Jesus. • The name Maryam has been used to describe a spiritual condition by the Holy Quran. The Difference between an Ahmadi Muslim and non-Ahmadi Muslim • The truth about the Institution of Revelation • Ahmadi Muslims believe that the institution of revelation and of the coming of prophets continues after the Holy Prophet ()ﷺ. • Prophethood which comes through the Holy Prophet ( )ﷺand which, therefore, is glory to him. And whoso obeys Allah and this Messenger of His shall be among those on whom Allah has bestowed His blessings, namely, the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And excellent companions are these. Chapter Al-Nisa Verse 70 The Difference between an Ahmadi Muslim and non-Muslim • The True Conception of Jihad • Ahmadis deny and resist vehemently the view which makes it right to shed blood, to spread disorder and disloyalty, and to disrupt civil peace in the name of Islam. • Ahmadis are not against Jihad. They are only against the tendency to label any kind of aggrandizement as Jihad. • Among the wrongs done to the Holy Prophet is the wrong which Muslims themselves have done to him by misrepresenting the Holy Prophet ()ﷺ, by holding up a wrong image of him before others. The Difference between an Ahmadi Muslim and non-Muslim • The highest Jihad is with the help of the Quran. Is it such a Jihad to which the Muslims are invited today. • According to Islam, every human individual is free to believe or not to believe. He is free to follow reason. • A religious war may be justified when there is interference in religion. But even when permitted, a religious war is not intended to force a people to give up their faith, nor is its purpose to desecrate or destroy places of worship, or to kill. Permission to fight is given to those against whom war is made, because they have been wronged — and Allah indeed has power to help them - Those who have been driven out from their homes unjustly only because they said, ‘Our Lord is Allah’ — And if Allah did not repel some men by means of others, there would surely have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft commemorated. And Allah will surely help one who helps Him. Allah is indeed Powerful, Mighty. Surah Al-Hajj Verse 40 -41 The Difference between an Ahmadi Muslim and non-Ahmadi Muslim • The claim of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad سالم ّ علیه ال • God has granted him insight into the Holy Quran, and revealed to him its innermost meaning and truth; that He has revealed to him the secrets of a virtuous life. • Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (سالم ّ )علیه الwas the Messiah for Christians and Jews, the Masiodarbahmi for the Zoroastrians and Krishna for the Hindus.
