Fatwas of Muslim Scholars and Organizations Regarding The Qadiani (Ahmadiyya) Cult | PDF | Muhammad | Prophets And Messengers In Islam (scribd.com)
The 1974 Declaration of Muslim World League:
Qadianism or Ahmadiyya: It is a subversive movement against Islam and the Muslim world,which falsely and deceitfully claims to be an Islamic sect; who under the guise of Islam and forthe sake of mundane interests contrives and plans to damage the very foundations of Islam. Itseminent deviations from the basic Islamic principles are as follows:
1. Its founder claimed that he was a Prophet.2. They deliberately distort the meanings of the verses of the Holy Quran.3. They declared that Jihad has been abolished.
Qadianism was originally fostered by the British imperialism. Hence it has been flourishing underher flag. This movement has completely been disloyal to and dishonest in affairs of the MuslimUmmah. Rather, it has been loyal to Imperialism and Zionism. It has deep associations andcooperation with the anti Islamic forces and teachings especially through the following nefariousmethods:1. Construction of mosques with the assistance of the anti Islamic forces wherein the misleadingQadiani thoughts are imparted to the people.2. Opening of schools institutions and orphanages wherein the people are taught and trained as tohow they can be more anti Islamic in their activities. They also published the corrupted versions ofthe Holy Quran in different local and international languages.
In order to combat these dangers, the Conference recommends the following measures:
1. All the Muslim organization in the world must keep a vigilant eye on all the activities of Qadianisin their respective countries; to confine them all strictly to their schools, institutions and orphanagesonly. Moreover he Muslims of the world be shown the true picture of Qadianism and be briefed oftheir various tactics so that the Muslims of the world be saved from their designs.2. They must be declared non Muslims and ousted from the fold of Islam. And be barred to enter theHoly lands.3. There must be no dealings with the Qadianis. They must be boycotted socially , economically andculturally Nor they be married with or to Nor they be allowed to be buried in the Muslimsgraveyards. And they be treated like other non Muslims.4. All the Muslim countries must impose restrictions on the activities of the claimant of
Prophethood Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani’s followers; must declare them a non Muslim m
inority

must not entrust them with any post of responsibility in any Muslim country.5. The alterations effected by them in the Holy Quran must be made public and the people be briefed of them and all these be prohibited for further publication.6. All such groups as are deviators from Islam must be treated at par with the Qadianis.
Fatwa of permanent board of Inquiry and Fatwa (Saudi Arabia):
Question:
What is the Islamic ruling (fatwa) about this new religion Ahmadiyya and its followers?In addition, when and where did this religion originate and what is the Islamic ruling (fatwa) about people who are in its favour?All Praise to Allah who is The One and Blessings and Peace be upon his Messenger, his Followers
and Companions … To the Point:
Answer:
The Pakistan government has ruled these people outside the fold of Islam; also, the
Muslim World League (Rabita A’ailm
-e-Islami) in Mecca has passed a similar fatwa. In the
gathering of the Muslim Scholars (Rabita A’ailm
-e-Islami) in the year 1394 A.H. (1974), a writtenstatement was drafted to explain the true principles of this group, how and when they started, and soon. Very briefly, this group has declare that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, an Indian, is a prophet who hasreceived revelations from Allah and that no one will be correct in his Islam, unless he believes inhim (Mirza). He (Mirza) was born in the 13th century, but Allah(SWT) has told us in his Book(Quran) that prophet Muhammad(SAW) is the last of Prophets1; all Muslim scholars have given anunanimous ruling that whoever makes the claim that after him(SAW) there can appear a new prophet is a Kafir (non-
Muslim), because he will be lying about Allah’s Book and about the
Hadithof the Prophet(SAW) which states that he(SAW) is the very last of the Prophets. In addition, thiswould be contrary to the consensus of the Muslim Ummah.With Allah is Success and Peace of Allah be upon his Messenger Muhammad and his Followers andCompanions.

Question:
We request your explanation on the Islamic ruling regarding the Qadiani group, and their
self-proclaimed “prophet” Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. We also request you send us some books whichhave researched this group since I am concerned in studying them.
Answer:
The Prophethood was completed by our prophet Muhammad(SAW) so there is no prophetafter him, according to what is confirmed in the Book (Quran) and the Sunnah. So whoever claimsProphethood after this, then he is a liar. And from amongst these is Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. So hisclaim of Prophethood is a lie, and what the Qadianis claim regarding his Prophethood is false.The judgement of the Council of Senior Scholars of Saudi Arabia was passed regarding theQadianis that they are an unbelieving group because of their ideology.With Allah is Success and Peace of Allah be upon his Messenger Muhammad and his Followers andCompanions.

Question:
What is the difference between the Muslims and the Ahmadis (Qadianis)?
Answer:
The difference between the two is:The Muslims are those who worship Allah alone and follow His messenger Muhammad(SAW) and believe that he is the seal of the prophets, and that there is no prophet after him.As for the Ahmadis, who are followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, they are kuffar and not Muslims, because they claim that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a prophet after Muhammad(SAW), and whoever believes in this ideology then he is an denier of truth, according to all the scholars of Islam, asAllah(SWT) says:“Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the Messenger of Allaah and the last(seal) of the Prophets” [al-Ahzaab, 40].And because of what has been authenticated on the authority of the Messenger of Allah(SAW) thathe said:“I am the seal of (all) the prophets, there is no prophet after me”, [Imam Ahmad – volume 2, page398 and 412, volume 3 page 79 and 248, volume 4, page 81, 84, 127 and 128, volume 5, page 278;al-Bukhari (Fath al-Bari) number 3535; Muslim – number 2286 and 2287; Abu Dawud – number4252].With Allah is Success and Peace of Allah be upon his Messenger Muhammad and his Followers and
Companions.

Fatwa of Islamic Fiqh Academy, Egypt:
Question:
Dear scholars, As-Salaam `AlaykumWould you please shed some light on the Ahmadiyyah or Qadyaniyyah movement? Jazakum Allahkhayran.
Answer:
Wa`alykum As-Salaamu Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh.In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.Dear sister in Islam, thanks for showing great keenness on understanding the teachings of yourreligion and we pray to Allah to keep us firm on the Straight Path.As regards the question you posed, we quote for you the fatwa issued by Islamic Fiqh Academy onQadyaniyyah, with slight additions from other sources. It goes as follows:Definition: Qadyaniyyah (also known as Ahmadiyyah) is an Indian-based movement that wasestablished under the patronage of the British colonial powers in 1900 for the aim of drivingMuslims away from their religion and, most definitely, the religious duty of Jihad, which, theyfeared, might be used to stage rebellion against the British occupation. The mouthpiece of themovement was Religions, a magazine that was issued in English at that time.
Dogmas and Ideology:
Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the movement, began his activities as an Islamic caller to attract asmany supporters as he could. Later, he claimed himself a reformer and a divinely-inspired man.Afterwards, he said that he was the awaited Mahdi. Later on, he claimed Prophethood and even saidthat his Prophethood was much better than that of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be uponhim.The followers of this group believe that Allah, Glorified be He, performs some acts befitting themortals, like fasting, praying, sleeping, and even committing mistakes. But Allah Almighty is Far
Exalted above what they say!A Qadiani believes that his lord is English as he speaks to him in English. He also believes thatMuhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is not the seal of Prophets and that Allah Almightysends new prophets according to time and need, and that Ghulam Ahmad is the greatest prophet.The followers of this sect also believe that Angel Gabriel used to come to Ghulam Ahmad andconvey revelations to him. In addition, they say that the only accepted book is the book presented byGhulam Ahmad, his words are the only accepted words and that all prophets stand under his control.Furthermore, they believe that their book, known as Al-Mubeen is a heavenly-revealed one.They continue spreading their false ideas by saying that they have a new religion totally different
from all other religions and that the companions of Ghulam Ahmad are like the Prophet’sCompanions. Moreover, they say that Qadyan, their leader’s place of birth, is like, or even better
than, Makkah and Madinah, so they take it as their prayer direction and a center of pilgrimage. Theycall for ignoring Jihad and showing complete obedience to the British empire, because it representsthe ruler to whom obedience is due. To them, every Muslim is a Kafir (disbeliever) until he convertsto their belief, and that anyone who marries a non-Qadiani is considered an unbeliever. They alsoallow wine, opium, intoxicants and drugs.In 1914 the followers of Ghulam Ahmad were divided into two groups. The overwhelming majorityof his followers belong to the first group known as Qadianis and were headed by BashiruddinMahmud, the second successor of Ghulam Ahmad. The second group known as Lahori, and
founded by Muhammad ‘Ali Lahori, is a minority among the followers of Ghulam Ahmad. The
second group have a less striking tone of their principles by claiming that they do not believe inGhulam Ahmad as a prophet in the real sense of the term but as Mujaddid (a renovator). However,they still believe him to be true in all other claims, which led Muslims to regard them also as outsidethe pale of Islam.
Qadariyyah in the Eyes of Muslims:
On the month of Rabi` Al-Awwal 1394 A.H. (April 1974 A.C.) a large conference was held in theMuslim World League headquarters in Makkah and was attended by many representatives ofinternational Islamic organizations. The communiqué issued by this conference branded this groupas Kafirs (unbelievers). It also recommended that all Muslims should stand to face this group andnever deal with its members and not to bury them in Muslim cemeteries.Moreover, Qadyaniyyah followers have good relations with Israel that helped them issue a specialmagazine (that stands as their mouthpiece) and many other pamphlets that are distributed all over
the world.
Conclusion:
Based on the above-mentioned facts, we can say that Qadyaniyyah is a deviant group that hasnothing to do with Islam. Muslims are to be aware of them especially after they have been brandedas Kafirs by all scholars.

Fatwa of Islamic Fiqh Council, South Africa:
After discussing the question put to the Islamic Fiqh Council in Cape town, South Africa,concerning the ruling on the Qadianis and their off-shoot which is known as Lahoriyyah, andwhether they should be counted as Muslims or not, and whether a non-Muslim is qualified toexamine an issue of this nature:In the light of research and documents presented to the members of the council concerning MirzaGhulam Ahmad al-Qadiani, who emerged in India in the last century and to whom is attributed theQadiani and Lahori movements, and after pondering the information presented on these two groups,and after confirming that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be a prophet who received revelation, aclaim which is documented in his own writings and speeches, some of which he claimed to havereceived as revelation, a claim which he propagated all his life and asked people to believe in, justas it is also well-known that he denied many other things which are proven to be essential elementsof the religion of Islam
In the light of the above, the Council issued the following statement:

Firstly:
the claims of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to be a prophet or a messenger and to receiverevelation are clearly a rejection of proven and essential elements of Islam, which unequivocallystates that Prophethood ended with Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) andthat no revelation will come to anyone after him. This claim made by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad makeshim and anyone who agrees with him an apostate who is beyond the pale of Islam. As for theLahoriyyah, they are like the Qadianiyyah: the same ruling of apostasy applies to them despite thefact that they described Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a shadow and manifestation of our ProphetMuhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
Secondly:
it is not appropriate for a non-Muslim court or judge to give a ruling on who is a Muslimand who is an apostate, especially when this goes against the consensus of the scholars andorganizations of the Muslim Ummah. Rulings of this nature are not acceptable unless they areissued by a Muslim scholar who knows all the requirements for being considered a Muslim, whoknows when a person may be deemed to have overstepped the mark and become an apostate, whounderstands the realities of Islam and kufr, and who has comprehensive knowledge of what is stated
in the Qur’aan, Sunnah and scholarly consensus. The ruling of a court of that nature is invalid. And
Allaah knows best.

Fatwa of Dr Muzammil Siqqiqi, USA:
Question:
As-Salamu `Alaykum. What can you tell us about Ahmadis? I think you can give ussome insight into their ideology and method and what should our attitude be toward theirmissionaries.
Answer:
Wa`alaykum As-Salaamu Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.In The Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.Dear questioner, thank you very much for having confidence in us, and we hope our efforts, which
are purely for Allah’s Sa
ke, meet your expectations.In his response to the question, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, former president of the Islamic Society of North America, states the following:Ahmadiyyah is a movement that started in India in the beginning of the 20th century. The founderof this movement, Ghulam Ahmed, from the village of Qadiyan in Punjab, claimed to be theMessenger of Allah.Because of this claim, the scholars of Islam unanimously consider him as a non-believer. Some of
his followers still believe that he was the Messenger although they say that he was not the fullMessenger, but a subsidiary Messenger. They misinterpret the verse of Surat Al-Ahzab where AllahAlmighty says, ” Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the messenger ofAllah and the Seal of the Prophets; and Allah is Aware of all things.” (Al-Ahzab: 40)
They claim that the word Khatam An-nabiyyin doesn’t mean the last Prophet, but the best Prophet.According to them, Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was the best Prophet, but it is possible to have lesser or minor Prophets. However, this is obviously a wrong interpretation because there are many other verses and Prophetic Hadiths that indicate that Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was sent as a Prophet of Allah for all people, and there are manyauthentic Hadiths, of which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said that there would beno Prophet after him.So Ahmadi’s have rejected a basic principle of Islamic faith and because of this, they are notconsidered Muslims. Among them, there is a group that says that Ghulam Ahmad was not aProphet, but that he was the Messiah or the Mehdi or things like that.However, that is also obviously wrong because the Messiah and the Mehdi will come at the end ofthe world and the end of the world has not come yet, so that shows that this claim was a false claim.The Ahmadi missionaries succeed because they are organized and they spread their message allover the world while many of us are lazy and we don’t present the authentic message of Islam withthe same vigour and enthusiasm. Thus, instead of getting into arguments with Ahmadis or any othergroup, let us concentrate on presenting the authentic message of Islam and Insha Allah, the truthwill prevail.”May Allah guide you to the straight path, and guide you to that which pleases Him, Amen.Allah Almighty knows best.Fatwa of Shariah Council, UK:Question:There has been a local dispute in which a Muslim community has prevented a Qadiani women from burying her husband in a Muslim cemetery. Given that Qadianis are consensually agreed to beoutside the fold mainstream of Islam, is this a reasonable stance to take or is religious bigotry?Answer: This is not religious bigotry. We do not have an excommunicating authority in Islam butwe do have a set of beliefs which are indisputable. Anybody calling into question these beliefs isconsidered a Murtadd (an apostate). The finality of Prophethood is established in the Qur’an inChapter 33 where Allah says that Muhammad was not the father of any man among you, but he isthe Messenger of God and the seal of all the Prophets. The Prophet, peace be upon him, himselfconfirmed this when he said, “I am the last of all the Prophets. There will be no more after me.”Thus the finality of Prophethood is an act of faith to which every Muslim must submit.
Those who dispute this belief with arguments, even though they may be couched in Islamic terms,have been declared as non-Muslims by all the scholars and research academies. As such they haveno right whatsoever to be buried in a Muslim cemetery.This is not bigotry. It is part of the Islamic way of life in which only Muslims should be buried in anIslamic cemetery to the extent that where a non-Muslim woman is married to a Muslim man and she passes away during pregnancy she is not to be buried in a Jewish or Christian cemetery because sheis conceiving a Muslim child. Nor is she to be buried in a Muslim cemetery because she herself isnot a Muslim. She has to be interred somewhere neutral.(31 – Jana’iz 2)Shaykh Syed Mutawalli ad-DarshFaqih from Al-Azhar, CairoChairman of the UK Shari’ah CouncilFatwa of Mufti Ebrahim Desai, South Africa:Question: How should we act toward the Ahmadis or (Qadianis) people who are in Pakistan also,and they believe that Imam Mehdi(A) has come to the world? I wanted to know how to treat these people? Now that the government in Afghanistan is western backed, I noticed these people alsotrying to come for their Tabligh to Afghanistan and the difficulty is that these people act likeMuslims and they try to spread in Afghanistan too, so how could we take steps towards them and Iwant you to please inform as many Muslims as possible about these people and that they could go toAfghanistan to take every step to stop them. may Allah give you the reward WasallamAnswer: Qadianis are not Muslims.It is incumbent upon every individual to inform his associates about Qadianis and every possibleeffort should be made to protect and safeguard innocent people from the net of Qadianis.and Allah Ta’ala Knows BestMufti Ebrahim Desai FATWA DEPT.Fatwa of Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-MunajjidQuestion: I appeal to you to answer the questions that I have previously submitted or to answer theone that follows, as the problem has for months caused me nothing but trouble in my localcommunity. Even if I had the support of a fatwa, it might not help because this local communitydoes not respect the ulema, but at least I would know that I am not erring.I know that you cannot answer all questions, but surely something as important as this cannot beignored. It is Ramadan and I hope for your answer.If someone is not a Qadiani but knows that they believe in a false prophet and accepts Qadianis as amadhab in Islam, are they out of Islam? I believe that they are out of Islam, and I am acting on that
belief in my conduct towards such people.Answer: Praise be to Allah.Definition: Qadianism is a movement that started in 1900 CE as a plot by the British colonialists inthe Indian subcontinent, with the aim of diverting Muslims away from their religion and from theobligation of jihad in particular, so that they would not oppose colonialism in the name of Islam.The mouthpiece of this movement was the magazine Majallat Al-Adyaan (Magazine if Religions)which was published in English.
Foundation and prominent personalities:
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad al-Qadiani (1839-1908 CE) was the main tool by means of whichQadianiyyah was founded. He was born in the village of Qadian, in the Punjab, in India, in 1839CE. He came from a family that was well known for having betrayed its religion and country, soGhulam Ahmad grew up loyal and obedient to the colonialists in every sense. Thus he was chosenfor the role of a so-called prophet, so that the Muslims would gather around him and he woulddistract them from waging jihaad against the English colonialists. The British government did lotsof favours for them, so they were loyal to the British. Ghulam Ahmad was known among hisfollowers to be unstable, with a lot of health problems and dependent on drugs.
Among those who confronted him and his evil da’wah was Shaykh Abu’l
–
Wafa’ Thana’ al
–
Amritsari, the leader of Jama’iyyat Ahl al
–
Hadeeth fi ‘Umoom al
-Hind (The All-India Society ofAhl al-Hadeeth). The Shaykh debated with him and refuted his arguments, revealing his ulteriormotives and Kufr and the deviation of his way. When Ghulam Ahmad did not come to his senses,
Shaykh Abu’l
–
Wafa’ challenged him to come together and invoke the curse of Allaah, such that the
one who was lying would die in the lifetime of the one who was telling the truth. Only a few days passed before Mirza Ghulam Ahmad al-Qadiani died, in 1908 CE, leaving behind more than fifty books, pamphlets and articles, among the most important of which are: Izaalat al-Awhaam
(Dispelling illusions), I’jaaz Ahmadi (Ahmadi miracles), Baraaheen Ahmadiyyah (Ahmadi proofs),
Anwaar al-
Islam (Lights of Islam), I’jaaz al
-Maseeh (Miracles of the Messiah), al-Tableegh(Conveying (the message))and Tajalliyyaat Ilaahiyyah (Divine manifestations). Noor al-Deen (Nuruddin): the first Khaleefah of the Qadianis. The British put the crown ofKhilaafah on his head, so the disciples (of Ghulam Ahmad) followed him. Among his books is: Faslal-Khitaab (Definitive statement).Muhammad Ali and Khojah Kamaal al-Deen: the two leaders of the Lahore Qadianis. They are theones who gave the final shape to the movement. The former produced a distorted translation into
English of the Qur’aan. His other works include: Haqeeqat al
-Ikhtilaaf (The reality of differences),al-
Nubuwwah fi’l
-Islam (Prophethood in Islam) and al-Deen al-Islami (The Islamic religion). As forKhojah Kamaal al-Deen, he wrote a book called al-Mathal al-
A’laa fi’l
–
Anbiya’ (The highest
example of the Prophets), and other books. This Lahore group of Ahmadis are those who think ofGhulam Ahmad as a Mujaddid (renewer or reviver of Islam) only, but both groups are viewed as asingle movement because odd ideas that are not seen in the one will surely be found in the other.Muhammad Ali: the leader of the Lahore Qadianis. He was one of those who gave the final shape toQadianiyyah, a colonialist spy and the person in charge of the magazine which was the voice of theQadianiyyah. He also produced a distorted translation into English of
the Qur’aan. Among his
works are Haqeeqat al-Ikhtilaaf (The reality of differences), and al-
Nubuwwah fi’l
-Islam(Prophethood in Islam), as stated above.Muhammad Saadiq, the mufti of the Qadianiyyah. His works include: Khatim al-Nabiyyeen Theseal of the Prophets).Basheer Ahmad ibn Ghulam. His works include: Seerat al-Mahdi (the life of the Mahdi) andKalimat al-Fasl (Decisive word).Mahmood Ahmad ibn Ghulam, his second Khaleefah. Among his works are: Anwaar al-Khilaafah(Lights of the caliphate), Tuhfat al-Mulook and Haqeeqat al-Nubuwwah (The reality ofProphethood).The appointment of the Qadiani Zafar-Allaah Khan as the first Foreign Minister of Pakistan had amajor effect in supporting this deviant sect, as he gave them a large area in the province of thePunjab to be their world headquarters, which they named Rabwah (high ground) as in the aayah(interpretation of the meaning): “And We gave them refuge on high ground (rabwah), a place ofrest, security and flowing streams.” [al-
Mu’minoon 23:50].
Their thought and beliefs
Ghulam Ahmad began his activities as an Islamic daa’iyah (caller to Islam) so that he could gather
followers around him, then he claimed to be a mujaddid inspired by Allaah. Then he took a furtherstep and claimed to be the Awaited Mahdi and the Promised Messiah. Then he claimed to be aProphet and that his Prophethood was higher than that of Muhammad (peace and blessings ofAllaah be upon him).*The Qadianis believe that Allaah fasts, prays, sleeps, wakes up, writes, makes mistakes and hasintercourse – exalted be Allaah far above all that they say.*The Qadiani believes that his god is English because he speaks to him in English.
*The Qadianis believe that Prophethood did not end with Muhammad (peace and blessings ofAllaah be upon him), but that it is ongoing, and that Allaah sends a messenger when there is a need,and that Ghulam Ahmad is the best of all the Prophets.
*They believe that Jibreel used to come down to Ghulam Ahmad and that he used to bringrevelation to him, and that his
inspirations are like the Qur’aan.
*They say that there is no Qur’aan other than what the “Promised Messiah” (Ghulam Ahmad)
brought, and no hadeeth except what is in accordance with his teachings, and no Prophet exceptunder the leadership of Ghulam Ahmad.
*They believe that their book was revealed. Its name is al-Kitaab al-Mubeen and it is different from
the Holy Qur’aan.
*They believe that they are followers of a new and independent religion and an independent
Sharee’ah, and that the friends of Ghulam
are like the Sahaabah.
*They believe that Qadian is like Madeenah and Makkah, if not better than them, and that its land issacred. It is their Qiblah and the place they make hajj to.*They called for the abolition of jihaad and blind obedience to the British government because, as
they claimed, the British were “those in authority” as stated in the Qur’aan.
*In their view every Muslim is a Kaafir unless he becomes a Qadiani, and everyone who married anon-Qadiani is also a kaafir.*They allow alcohol, opium, drugs and intoxicants.
Intellectual and ideological roots:
The westernizing movement of Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan paved the way for the emergence of theQadianiyyah, because it had already spread deviant ideas.The British made the most of this opportunity so they started the Qadiani movement and chose aman from a family that had a history of being agents of the colonialists.In 1953 CE, there was a popular revolution in Pakistan which demanded the removal of Zafar-Allaah Khan from the position of Foreign Minister and that the Qadiani sect should be regarded as anon-Muslim minority. In this uprising around ten thousand Muslims were martyred, and theysucceeded in having the Qadiani minister removed from office.
In Rabee’ al
-Awwal 1394 AH (April 1974), a major conference was held by the Muslim WorldLeague in Makkah, which was attended by representatives of Muslim organizations from around theworld. This conference announced that this sect is Kaafir and is beyond the pale of Islam, and toldMuslims to resist its dangers and not to cooperate with the Qadianis or bury their dead in Muslim
graveyards.The Majlis al-Ummah in Pakistan (the central parliament) debated with the Qadiani leader Mirza Naasir Ahmad, and he was refuted by Shaykh Mufti Mahmood (may Allaah have mercy on him).The debate went on for nearly thirty hours but Naasir Ahmad was unable to give answers and theKufr of this group was exposed, so the Majlis issued a statement that the Qadianis should beregarded as a non-Muslim minority.
Among the factors that make Mirza Ghulam Ahmad an obvious Kaafir are the following:
*His claim to be a Prophet*His abolition of the duty of jihaad, to serve the interests of the colonialists.*His saying that people should no longer go on Hajj to Makkah, and his substitution of Qadian asthe place of pilgrimage.*His anthropomorphism or likening Allaah to human beings.*His belief in the transmigration of souls and incarnation.*His attributing a son to Allaah and his claim to be the son of God.*He is denying that Prophethood ended with Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be uponhim) and his regarding the door of Prophethood to be open to “any Tom, Dick or Harry”.
The Qadianis have strong ties with Israel. Israel has opened centres and schools for them, andhelped them to publish a magazine which is their mouthpiece, to print books and publications fordistribution worldwide.The fact that they are influenced by Judaism, Christianity and al-Baatiniyyah is clear from their beliefs and practices, even though they claim to be Muslims.
Their spread and positions of influence
Most of the Qadianis nowadays live in India and Pakistan, with a few in Israel and the Arab world.They are trying, with the help of the colonialists, to obtain sensitive positions in all the places wherethey live.The Qadianis are very active in Africa and in some western countries. In Africa they have more than
5,000 teachers and dai’yahs working full
-time to call people to Qadianiyyah. Their wide-spreadactivity proves that they have the support of the colonialists.The British government is also supporting this movement and making it easy for their followers toget positions in world governments, corporate administration and consulates. Some of them are alsohigh-ranking officers in the secret services.
In calling people to their beliefs, the Qadianis use all kinds of methods, especially educationalmeans, because they are highly-educated and there are many scientists, engineers and doctors intheir ranks. In Britain there is a satellite TV channel called Islamic TV which is run by the Qadianis.From the above, it is clear that:Qadianiyyah is a misguided group, which is not part of Islam at all. Its beliefs are completelycontradictory to Islam,
so Muslims should beware of their activities, since the ‘Ulama’ (scholars) of
Islam have stated that they are Kaafirs.

-Juhani, 1/419-423The following statement was published by the Islamic Fiqh Council (
Majma’ al
-Fiqh al-Islami):After discussing the question put to the Islamic Fiqh Council in Capetown, South Africa,concerning the ruling on the Qadianis and their off-shoot which is known as Lahoriyyah, andwhether they should be counted as Muslims or not, and whether a non-Muslim is qualified toexamine an issue of this nature:In the light of research and documents presented to the members of the council concerning MirzaGhulam Ahmad al-Qadiani, who emerged in India in the last century and to whom is attributed theQadiani and Lahori movements, and after pondering the information presented on these two groups,and after confirming that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be a prophet who received revelation, aclaim which is documented in his own writings and speeches, some of which he claimed to havereceived as revelation, a claim which he propagated all his life and asked people to believe in, justas it is also well-known that he denied many other things which are proven to be essential elementsof the religion of Islam
In the light of the above, the Council issued the following statement:
Firstly: the claims of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to be a prophet or a messenger and to receive revelationare clearly a rejection of proven and essential elements of Islam, which unequivocally states thatProphethood ended with Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and that norevelation will come to anyone after him. This claim made by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad makes himand anyone who agrees with him an apostate who is beyond the pale of Islam. As for the
Lahoriyyah, they are like the Qadianiyyah: the same ruling of apostasy applies to them despite thefact that they described Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a shadow and manifestation of our ProphetMuhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).Secondly: it is not appropriate for a non-Muslim court or judge to give a ruling on who is a Muslimand who is an apostate, especially when this goes against the consensus of the scholars andorganizations of the Muslim Ummah. Rulings of this nature are not acceptable unless they areissued by a Muslim scholar who knows all the requirements for being considered a Muslim, whoknows when a person may be deemed to have overstepped the mark and become an apostate, whounderstands the realities of Islam and kufr, and who has comprehensive knowledge of what is stated
in the Qur’aan, Sunnah and scholarly consensus. The ruling of a court of that nature is invalid. And
Allaah knows best.

Question: I understand that it is alright for a Muslim male to marry a woman from the people of the book. But how about if a Muslim male wants to marry a Qadiani girl, who’s of a good character and personality?
Answer: Praise be to Allaah.Given that the Qadiani school of thought is a form of major Kufr (disbelief) which puts them beyond the pale of Islam, it is not permissible to marry this woman, because Allaah says(interpretation of the meaning):“They are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful (husbands) forthem” [al-Mumtahinah 60:10]And Allaah knows best.Islam Q&A

Question:Assalaamu ‘Alaikum,I attended a funeral today for my wife’s aunt. After the janazah prayer, I found out that the person performing the janazah prayer was not muslim. He was an Ahmadi belonging to the sect who saysMirza Gulam was a prophet. I personally feel that the janazah was not valid, but there were a lot ofmuslims in the congregation, who paid little attention to the fact that the leader was not muslim.Should my family and I re-pray the janazah?
Answer:Praise be to Allaah.Yes, you have to repeat the funeral prayer, because this imaam behind whom you prayed is a believer in a kaafir doctrine which puts him beyond the pale of Islam. We ask Allaah to show mercyto your deceased loved one..Islam Q&ASheikh Muhammed Salih Al-MunajjidFatwa of Sheikh Ahmed Kutty, CanadaQuestion:
My question is about Shi`a and Qadianiyyah. They don’t believe in some pillar of
Islam.Are they Muslims?Answer: In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
As far as the moderate Shi`ah like Ithna ‘Ashriya or Imamiyyah are concerned, genera
lly they have
been accepted as Muslims by the Ijma’ (juristic unanimity) of the Muslim community and that is
why they have been permitted to go for hajj while it a recognized fact that non-Muslims are notallowed to perform hajj.
This Ijma’ of the communit
y does not apply to people who have violated the fundamental principles
of Islam, such as those who prophesied the divinity of ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, or
denied the fact that Prophethood has ended with Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be uponhim.As for Qadianis, they have violated these principles when they claimed that Mirza Ghulam Ahmadis a prophet. Due to this violation, they cannot be called Muslims and this has also been established
by the Ijma’ (concensus) of Muslims.
Fatwa of Islamic community of Bosniaks in the U.S.10 June, 1997
Assalamu Aleikum:
Destroyers of Islam from Bosnia-Herzegovina in the U.S.Our Bosnia-Herzegovina Muslims, after enduring suffering and harsh circumstances, are nowdealing with this equally harmful cult called “Qadianiyyat”, or better known in the West as“Ahmadiyyat”. This cult is falsely presenting itself to our fellow Muslims as brothers who want tohelp them. However, they are only interested in increasing the membership of their cult, and as amatter of fact they began as a cult with a hatred for Islam, and especially toward the ProphetMuhammad(SAW). They wish to weaken Islam and destroy it from the inside.

As a legitimate leader of Islam in the U.S., I feel obligated to open the eyes of our people and warnthem away from Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the false self-proclaimed prophet, who has been denounced by Muslim scholars as having gone against the religion.“Whoever wishes to have another religion besides Islam will not be accepted by Allah, the beneficent the Merciful, and he will be of those whom are doomed.” [The Holy Quran]
Any Muslim man or woman who joins the “Ahmadiyya Cult” will cease to be Muslims andwill be subject to the following conditions:
He cannot be given the Islamic funeral rites, nor can he be buried in an Islamic cemetery; No Muslim man or woman is allowed to marry a person from this cult;Meat that is slaughtered by someone in this sect is considered “haram” and, therefore, is prohibitedfrom being consumed by Muslims;Visiting any of their places of worship, which they falsely call mosques, is strictly prohibited.Sadly, there have been quite a few Bosnians who have been recruited by the Ahmadiyya and whoare now fallen Muslims and are traitors to our Muslim identity by working for them to recruit moreinnocent Muslims. Some have been promised apartments and a good wage if they are able to recruitmore of our mujahedins. Because of this, my brothers and sisters, beware and do not allow any oneto lead you astray. All of your religious needs may be met by visiting us at the address above or bycalling our number.By the word of your highest religious leader,Senad Agic, Head Imam

Question:Please give me explanation about Ahmadiyah movement. Are they right or wrong or possibly right or possibly wrong? And why?
Answer:The Ahmadiya sect was founded in Qadian, Punjab in 1889 by one Mirza Gulam Ahmad.He claimed not only that he was a Mahdi but also a re-incarnation of Krishna and that he was theProphet of Islam in succession to the Holy Prophet. Some say that he claimed to be thereappearance (burooz) of the Holy Prophet. On the death of Mirza Gulam in 1908 the Ahmadiyacommunity elected Moulvi Nuru-Deen to be the khalifah. When Nuru-Deen died in 1914 themajority of the community continued to believe that Mirza Gulam was a prophet in succession tothe Holy Prophet. There was a minority splinter group in Lahore which declared that Mirza Gulamwas a reformer (mujaddid).
As the Ahmadiyyas believe that Mirza Ghulam was a prophet they cannot be accepted within thefold of Islam. The Muslims, the Sunnis as well as the Shias, universally believe that Muhammad(SAWA) was the last of the prophets of Allah (SWT) as attested by the Holy Qur’an, Chapter 33,Verse 40 where Allah says,“Muhammad………...is the messenger of Allah and the last of the prophets”.The expression used literally means the seal of the Prophet “khataman nabiyyin” but there can beabsolutely no doubt that even in the context of a seal it has a definite finality.There are many ahadeeth of the Holy Prophet which leave no doubt that there would be no prophetafter him. He is reported as having said : “Bani Israeel had prophets who were leading them. Whenone died another would succeeded him. But after me there will be no prophet. I am khatimannabiyyin.”There can be no doubt that as far as the belief of the Ahmadiyya is concerned it is not only un-Islamic but contrary to the Holy Book.

Question:Are Lahori Ahmadis kafirs even though they reject the belief that Mirza Ghulam Ahmadwas a prophet?If Lahori Ahmadis are not Muslims, please explain how this is so, since they deny neither theKhatm an-Nabiyeen nor Allah’s Tawheed.Answer:To accept as a leader religious, a person who claimed to be a prophet in succession to theHoly Prophet (SAWA) would place one in the same category as a person who accepts his claim to be true.The splinter group of the Lahori Ahmadiyyas cannot be distinguished from the juridical point ofview from the group which accepts Mirza Gulam Ahmad’s claim to Prophethood. Had they chosenanother leader, and had they openly denounced Mirza Gulam Ahmad as someone who had falselyclaimed Prophethood, it would have been a different case. In that case they would not have calledthemselves Ahmadiyyas.
