Are Qadianis / Ahmedis Muslims? (2/5)

We have addressed the issue of someone who claims to have received the revelation in the previous question. Here we wish answer the latter part of this question. The Islamic scholars are unanimous that one who vilifies and insults the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is an apostate and cannot be classified a muslim.

This consensus was narrated by many great scholars such as Imaam Ishaaq ibn Raahawayh, Ibn al-Mundhir, al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad, al-Khattaabi and others.

This ruling is furthermore indicated in the Qur’aan. It is mentioned in the Qur’aan:

“The hypocrites fear lest a Surah (chapter of the Qur’aan) should be revealed about them, showing them what is in their hearts. Say: ‘(Go ahead and) mock! But certainly Allah will bring to light all that you fear.’ If you ask them (about this), they declare: ‘We were only talking idly and joking.’ Say: ‘Was it at Allah, and His Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger that you were mocking?’ Make no excuse; you disbelieved after you had believed” (Qur’ān 9:64-66)

The adherent of any faith who insults and vilifies the key symbols and embodiments of the very faith is regarded with contempt and apostasy. What would happen if a Christian vilifies Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him)? We can well imagine the end result of a Hindu who vilifies and insults the Hindu God, Krishna. Would any other religion be willing to tolerate anyone vilifying and hurling absurdities against the fundamental symbols and embodiments of its faith?

Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani has at numerous occasions uttered, penned down and proclaimed statements which are extremely offensive to Muslims and Islamic Faith. We present just a few of them.

1. “Like Maryam, Christ’s spirit was infused into me and metaphorically I was conceived. At last after several months, not more than ten months, through revelation that I have stated in the part four page. 556 of Brahīn e Ahmedia, I was made Christ from Mary. In this way I am Ibn e Maryam (son of Mary).” [25]

2. “The Promised Christ once stated his condition that under the feeling of revelation he felt as if he were a woman and God had intercourse with him.” [26]

3. “I dreamt that I myself am God. I believed that I was God.” [27]

4. “In a revelation I saw that I was God and I believed that I was so.” [28]

5. “And God named me Mary in the book Brahīn e Ahmedia.” [29]

6. A man kissed my foot I said I am the Black Stone (Hajra e Aswad).” [30]

7. An outstanding poet, Mirza introduces himself as follows:

I am neither made of clay nor I am any human being’s child

I am really a shame for human beings and I am worth hating. [31]

8. We also refer to those ‘Hadīths’ that confirm to the Qur’ān and do not contradict my revelation. While to other sayings of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (Hadiths) we throw them in dust bin. [32]

9. Christ had the habit of calling names and abusing. He got furious at petty things; he was a prey to his emotions. And often he used to tell a lie. [33]

10. It is a matter of shame that he stole the teachings of the mountain that is the crux of the Bible, from the Jews’ Book, Talmud. After this plagiarism he revealed them as his own teachings. [34]

11. The Christians have written much about Christ’s miracles, but the fact is that he had none. And when he abused people who were demanding miracles, the pious people broke all connections with him. [35]

12. Christ belonged to a very ‘virtuous’ family. Three of his maternal and paternal grandmothers were adulterers and prostitutes. He had the blood of these women in his veins, but perhaps this was also an eternal requirement. [36]

13. Taking wine has caused much loss to the Europeans. Perhaps they have the justification that Christ himself took wine; he took wine because of some disease or he was a habitual drinker as the case may be. [37]

14. Once a friend of mine suggested that opium is good for diabetics. So it is not bad to use it for the sake of treatment. I replied to him, “Thank you for your concern, but if I develop the habit of taking opium, I fear people will laugh and say that the first Christ was a drunkard and the second one an opium-eater”. [38]

15. God sent His Promised Christ (Masseah–e–Maud) towards the Ummah, who is superior to the first Christ in all respects. He named the second Christ as Ghulam Ahmed. [39]

16. Some foolish ‘Sahāba’ could get (benefit) nothing from knowledge. [40]

17. Whoever believes in Qur’ān should throw away the sayings of Abu Hurairah like a useless thing. [41]

18. What was the status of Abu Bakr and Umar. They were not even worth of untying the laces Hazrat Ghulam Ahmed’s shoes. [42]

19. Do not dispute over caliphate. Now think about the new caliphate. You have a living Ali amongst you. You reject him and reach for the dead Ali. [43]

20. A verse says ‘I am always visiting Karbalah’. (Hundreds of Husseins are in my pocket) [44]

21. Oh Christian missionaries! Do not call Christ. Because there is one among you who is greater than Christ. And O Shia people! Do not insist on Hussein, I tell you truly that there is one among you greater than Hussein, [45]
