Intro
When Ahmadi’s are cornered on the life of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, they pivot to trying to make Muslims fight each other and pit Muslims against each other as a response and will quote a famous hadith about Muslims splitting into 73 sects and all going to Hell except one, see the Quran too, 6:159 (6:160 in the Qadiani Quran). However, what they won’t tell you MGA alleged that 73 sects were in existence as early as 300 years after Muhammad (Saw) died. It should be noted that Muhammad ibn Wahab used the same hadith. Yasir Qadhi explains that this hadith is allegorical, it’s doesn’t actually mean that there will be 73 sects of Muslims. It only means that there will be lots of division, and the only Muslims who will go heaven will be the ones who mimic the Prophet (saw) and his companions (sahaba). And this is only for Allah to decide.
In 1899, MGA named his cult as “Muslim Firqa Ahmadia” (See Tiryaq ul Qulub, RK-18, page 526) and told his followers to indicate that they were in this cult per the upcoming 1901 census of British India (this was published in 1902, see the scans in the below).
In 1900, MGA officially created his own firqa, Ahmadiyya, and to be annotated properly in the famous census of 1901. MGA didn’t specifically mention that his sect was the only one to go to heaven in this specific quotation, however, in other comments he does elude towards that. This is MGA’s only comment on this hadith.
In 1901, MGA and his team argued (Al-Hakam, vol. 5, no. 6, dated 31 January 1901, p. 11
Via Malfuzat-3, online English edition, page 102) that the entire Hanafi madhab was an error, as well as the Maliki madhab. MGA also said that Sunni and Shia are wrong. MGA said that there were only 2 sects of Islam now, Muhammadi or Ahmadi.
In 1902 (See ROR of Feb-1902, page 47), MGA and his team argued that Ahmadiyya was a sect and they don’t acknowledge any temporal ruler other than the British Government, as Khalifa of the Muslims.
In 1903, MGA said that all Muslim groups believe in the same foundational concepts of Islam (See Malfuzat-7, Online English edition, page 39-45, Al-Hakam, vol. 8, no. 43, 44, p. 5, 6, dated 17 & 24 December 1904, Malfuzat-7, Urdu, page 27, Edition 2022, Edition 1984 May 2, 1904 to August 31, 1905 V-7 Pg. 241).
In 1905 , MGA and his team of writers criticized the beliefs of sects (firqay) like the “Naturalist”, led by Syed Ahmad Khan, who deny Heaven, Hell, angels, revelation and etc. (See Malfuzat-8, online English edition, page 40, via al-Badr, vol. 1, no. 32, p. 2–4, dated 3 November 1905). MGA then says, to distinguish itself from all these sects, this sect was named ‘Ahmadiyya’.
In 1915, the ROR Of April-1915 gives explanations as to why MGA made a separate sect in 1901 for the census.
In 1922, 14 years after MGA died, with the publishing of Tajalliyat-e-Ilahiyyah (Divine Manifestations in English, page 24)(1922), MGA called Ahmadiyya a firqa 3 times.
In 1974, at the NA wherein Ahmadi’s were declared as Non-Muslim, 73 sects of Muslims were not there. It seems that after 1974, Mirza Nasir Ahmad began to use this hadith more frequently and thus brainwashed a generation.
In the 1980’s, Mirza Tahir translated “ma ana alayhi wa ashabi as” = they will be found in the same conditions as I and my followers are facing. Mirza Tahir Ahmad argued that only Ahmadi’s have been persecuted like the early Muslims and thus only Ahmadi’s qualify. At the 3:40 timestamp (link doesn’t work anymore), Mirza Tahir Ahmad said that Ahmadiyya is not a sect. Mirza Tahir Ahmad said that there are 72 Muslim sects, and they differ with each other on fundamental beliefs (MGA said the opposite). Mirza Tahir Ahmad alleges that the 73rd would be a Jamaat. Mirza Tahir Ahmad said the Jamaat will be those who are on “ma ana alayhi wa ashabi as” (what me and my companions are upon). Mirza Tahir Ahmad said that Muhammad (Saw) already gave the answer.
Check out Bro Imtiaz’s stream on this topic herein. Check out Amir Haq vs. Razi Ullah (of Ahmadi Answers). Amir Haq asked Razi to define what a firqa is and then kicked Amir Haq out. Here is another clip of Amir Haq humiliating Razi. Here is another clip wherein Amir Haq explains how in Islam there are no sects (firqa’s). Bro Imtiaz streamed the whole thing herein. The video is on Amir Haq’s channel too. Qaiser Raja tweeted about this too. The 73 sects were mentioned in the ROR of Jan-1939 and again in June-July-1940. Watch Syed Dr. Holy Spirit’s video on this topic herein.
In 2024, Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi Razi Ullah Noman recently moved to the UK and is living in Tilford with his wife and small child. A few months ago, he accidentally did Takfir of the Lahori-Ahmadi’s (the Lahori-Ahmadi’s responded too), even though they accepted MGA as a Messiah, Mahdi and the second coming of Muhammad (Saw)(naozobillah)(see on twitter and tiktok). A few days later, Razi alleges to have made a mistake (see the screenshot in the below).
By 2025, Ahmadis themselves have had over 20 splinter sects in 100 years. We have a made a list herein. In May-2025, Adnan Rashid was on the True Islam UK stream and was asked by Maulvi Razi about what groups fall into the saved “Jamaah” category (1:16:09 time stamp). Adnan Rashid referred to MGA who said that all the sects of Islam have only minor differences between them. This caused the panel to get mad.
In Aug-2025, an Ahmadi on TikTok allegedly named Nur (@Ahmadi_muslim)(from Kababir, Israel), spoke to Brother Omar, Arise and Warn, Sher-e-Khuda and Ibn Hajar about the fire that cooled for Ibrahim (as)(see 21:69) and Istigatha/Wilayat-e-Takwini/Tasarruf and “ma ana aelai wa sahabee” (what me and my companions are upon).
In Dec-2025, Ansar Raza said that he doesn’t care about the path of the sahaba (companions).

“”Similarly, the various sects of Islam have erred. Some call themselves Hanafi, others Maliki, certain others Shia and some Sunni. However, the Noble Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, only had two names: Muhammad and Ahmad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. There can only be, therefore, two sects within the Muslims: Muhammadi and Ahmadi. The Muhammadi sect will exist only in an era in which might and glory is to be manifested, while the name Ahmadi is reserved for a time that is characterised by beauty.”

Pastor William Scott and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad – ahmadiyyafactcheckblog
Pastor Scott—What is the difference between you and the Christian faith?
Promised Messiah as—There is a vast difference between the present Christian religion and us. However, there is no difference between the original teaching and religion of [ Jesus] the Messiah, peace be on him, and the principles of our religion. He also worshipped God and sermonized and preached His Tauhid [Oneness of God], and all other Prophets brought the same teaching.
Pastor Scott—But there are many sects among you people?
Promised Messiah as—I am surprised you raise this objection against Islam. Do you not know how many sects there are among Christians who reject each other and do not even agree upon fundamental principles? If there is any difference between Muslim sects, it is in ancillary issues and details. The fundamental principles are the same for all.

In 1907, MGA wrote:
“”””The truth of the matter is that after the passage of the first three centuries, the blessed ummah split into seventy-three sects and hundreds of mutually contradictory beliefs took root among them to the extent that they were no longer in agreement even regarding such beliefs as the appearance of the Mahdi and the coming of the Messiah. For example, the Mahdi of the Shias is hidden in a cave and he has the original Holy Quran. He will appear at a time when the Companions, Allah be pleased with them, will also be brought back to life, and he will take revenge from them for the usurpation of the Khilafat [from Hadrat ‘Ali ra].””””

Am ahmadi
I read this blog and the blogger had written ahmadis convert for job security. Is it so?den y my jamaat is not offering me a job despite being me an ahmadi y am i jobless here
Dis is so ridiculous
A humble advice to the blogger stop spreading lies and fear allah
And the hadees u said in this blog and view of ahmadis on it is totally wrong and haqiqatul wahi u hve mentioned page number as well i request u to re read it and understand it again by asking allah’s help to mke u understand dat dnt just put a part of it on ur blog and start saying lie after a lie
I say u again and again fear allah
And most important thing yes we(ahmadis)believe v r true muslims as all other muslims believe dat dey r true muslims wats wrong in dat
But u said v believe only v(ahmadis) vll go to heaven and all others to hell
This is ur lie not ahmadis belief
We(ahmadis)believe the authority of hell and heaven is in the hands of our lord allah the almighty
Let allah decide this who goes to heaven and hell
Neither us nor u hve the authority to even comment who goes wer
We(ahmadis) are not ignorant like you to say such things
May allah guide u and all other ignorant people to the right path

1. You don’t need any God to help to understand simple urdu or english. See..you have been brainwashed.
2. 1.5 billion Muslims don’t believe in any true-Muslim concept. Sorry…you are mistaken.
You have purposely not answered any of the questions that we raised. SMH
