Musleh Shanboor and the Ahmadiyya position on 22:40 in the Quran (22:41 in the Kadiani Koran)

Intro
In 2026 (May-7), Musleh Shanboor streamed with other Ahmadiyya mullahs on the “Ask Islam” youtube channel. At 21:51 timestamp, Musleh Shanboor explains how 22:40 of the Quran (22:41 in the Kadiani Koran) doesn’t apply in MGA’s time and up until 2026. Musleh Shanboor means to say that the conditions to “take-up-arms” against a government haven’t been fulfilled. At 24:57, Musleh Shanboor says that Mirza Masroor Ahmad has allowed Ahmadi’s to call the plight of Muslims in this era (2015 to 2026) as Jihad. Musleh Shanboor called what Muslims are defending in Gaza as a “sort of Jihad“, however, it is not religious (See the clip on TikTok and Twitter). Musleh Shanboor then alleges that 100,000+ Muslims have converted to Christanity in India-Pakistan, however, this is a lie, most of the converts came from the choora caste of people, this is totally proven.

However, Musleh Shanboor forgets that MGA abrogated (mansukh) 22:40 of the Quran (22:41 in the Kadiani Koran) in his book, “The British government and Jihad” and had it published on May 22, 1900. MGA and his team of writers argued that this commandment (22:40) was specific to the period and time. It was not forever. It applied during the time when those entering the fold of Islam were being slaughtered like sheep and lambs (See pages 6-7). Musleh Shanboor also failed to mention that on page 17, MGA said he came with an order “jihad with the sword has ended from this time forward”. This statement and the context tell us that MGA was alleging that the violent Jihad which is found in 22:40 of the Quran (22:41 in the Kadiani Koran) was stopped on May-22-1900.

Musleh Shanboor also didn’t take into consideration how a few months later (Dec-15), MGA said, that in the time of “Maseeh Mau`ood” the command for jihaad was entirely abolished/stopped (see Nuzhat Haneef, page 171)(RK, v. 17, p. 443; marginal note; Arba`een Number 4)(See page 145, online English edition of Arba‘in).

Musleh Shanboor also didn’t mention how MGA argued in 1901-1902, that from this day, the human jihaad that was performed with the sword [i.e., martial jihaad], has been stopped by the command of God. Now after this whoever lifts a sword against a kaafir and refers to himself as a ‘ghaazee’ [a jihaad participant who is not martyred], he disobeys that Noble Messenger, the blessings of Allaah and peace be on him, who stated thirteen hundred years ago that upon the coming of the Maseeh Mau`ood the jihaads of the sword will come to an end. So now after my appearance there is no jihaad of the sword. … The one who fights evil with evil is not from among us. Save yourself from attack by the mischievous. But do not yourselves engage in mischievous confrontation.” (See RK, v. 16, pp. 28-29; starts at 5th line from bottom of p. 28; Appendix to Khutbah-e-Ilhaamiyyah, translation by Nuzhat Haneef).

Musleh Shanboor didn’t mention how in 1906, MGA and his team of writers alleged that God had nor forbidden the kind of Jihad wherein there is a battle of swords or guns. (See “Fountain of Christianity” (Chashma-e-Masihi), online English edition page 4). MGA said that the type of Jihad wherein swords and guns are used in battle is the final battle between light and darkness. MGA says that the type of Jihad wherein swords and guns are used in battle was destined to be abolished in the time of the Promised Messiah (maseeh-e-maud) as referred to the by the Holy Quran and Sahih Bukhari.

Musleh Shanboor also didn’t mention how in 1906, MGA and his team alleged that the famous hadith which talk about the breath of the Messiah killing people (See Sahih Muslim 2937a) is really about the plague and Earthquakes which will happen as a result of the rejection/abuse/denial of MGA as the Messiah (See Divine Manifestations [Tajalliyat-e-illahiyyah], page 9, online English Edition)(published in 1922). On page 9 of the Online English Edition, the Qadiani-Ahmadi’s purposely mistranslated “abrogated” (mansookh) as “suspended”, thus proving that MGA did indeed “abrogate” Jihad, however, Ahmadi’s (Lahori and Qadiani) both agreed against MGA and landed on the idea that MGA only “suspended” Jihad in the 1900-1908 era.
