Qadianis - Their Twisted Logic

 

Qadianis ? Their Twisted Logic

Question

What is Qadiyanism or Ahmadiya? How is it different from Islam?

Answer

Qadiyanism is a movement started in a town called Qadiyan in India by a man called Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. It later split into two factions, one of which called itself after the founder, hence the name Ahmadiya. Both, however, share the same deviant beliefs which ascribe the status of Prophethood to their man. It is well known that Qur'an makes it clear that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the last in the line of prophets. This is stated clearly in Verse 40 of Surah 33, entitled Al-Ahzab or the Confederates [or the Clan]. In this verse God describes Muhammad as "God's messenger and the last of all prophets."

The Ahmadis and Qadiyanis claim to be Muslims, alleging that their movement is the second mission of the message of Islam and their man, Ghulam Ahmad, is God's messenger.

They try to reconcile this with the above quoted Qur'anic verse by saying that the Arabic word denoting 'last,' in the above verse means 'seal,' which means that Muhammad serves as the seal which endorses every new message. This is twisted logic, by a person who has tried to justify his false claims by giving a special meaning to the words of a language he did not speak. The Arabic word does have the connotations of a 'seal' but in the sense of 'putting an end to something, or bringing it to completeness that admits of no additions.' It is like a letter that has been signed and put in an envelope which is then sealed. You cannot add anything to that letter unless you break its seal.

The origins of the Ahmadiya go back to the day of the British rule in India, when the British colonial power sought to counter the notion of jihad among Muslims. This is the basic difference that the Ahmadiya brought.

The assigning of Prophethood to Mirza and the removal of the notion of jihad, which is a basic principle of the faith of Islam, takes them out of Islam altogether. They are not considered Muslims by any Muslim country or any Islamic authority. However, they are very active in preaching their falsehood and they have followers in different countries, particularly in Africa. They have gathered a momentum of their own and they are dedicated to their falsehood in a way which makes one sorry for them. Had they shown similar dedication in promoting the message of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, without trying to alter or distort it, they should have achieved much. In their misguided enthusiasm, they only turn people away from the truth and they earn God's displeasure.
