Re: Details of interpreting verses from the Qur'an and obvious blunders
mgaq wrote that belief in Isa AS still being alive is a mushrik belief, also he admitted that he held that belief previously (for a period of 50+ years aprox.) muslims have pointed out that Allah SWT has excluded mushriks from prophethood
Such a lame allegation. I remind you that this thread is not about what hz Ahmad (as) said or not said. We are not talking about this at all here. But regardless, please do review your imaan on muhammad pbuh and prophets before him. Muhammad PBUH in one of his ahadith said that whoever says that I (Muhammad PBUH) is superior to Yousaf bin Mati is a liar.. then after, He pbuh said that im superior to all the prophets. One of the hadith, Muhammad PBUH declared honey haram on himself, then later took back his words. Point is, you change your belief when Allah tells you to. After receiving the verse of him being khataman nabiyeen, he did not know he was khataman nabiyeen...now after 18 years.. he s.a.w said He pbuh was khataman nabiyeen even when Adam a.s was in the middle of His creation. So, my friend.. prophets tell people what the true belief is and should be when revelation is received to them. Isa a.s still being alive is a mushrik belief. Hindu is a hindu until he accepts Islam... Mushriq is a mushriq until he accepts what the truth is. Only difference is, he no longer remained mushriq, whereas people like you are happy being one.
Popat – I just managed to get some time so I am going to address all the issues raised by you.
I have nothing against Ahmadiyya jamaat – They can believe anything they want :) . Yes I am choosing on PURPOSE not to believe in Ahmadiyyat – The purpose is my Salvation in hereafter – So I choose not to follow blindly your ‘Pied Piper’ into self destruction.
Why should I go against the Quran and ahadith as it is the believe Muslims that Hz. Isa Ibn Maryum is alive?
You are not rejecting ahmadiyyat. I dont know who had put this in your head. I'm talking in accordance to Quran and ahadith. You are forcing yourself to keep Isa a.s alive so to always have a thing against jamaat. Accept what the Quran and ahadith is pointing to...not to have anything against jamaat..but to have salvation in hereafter. I dont care what Muslims belief is regarding Isa a.s. I'm telling you what Quran and ahadith is point to. You either accept the word of Allah and his messenger or you accept your scholars on no solid grounds.

All of the time you are interpreting the verses to meet your sect’s needs even though it doesn’t meet the following the following criteria
1) Interpretation should not clash with other verses of the Quran. The Quran indicates very clearly that it does its own explanation (tafsir) which is very clear and easy to understand. As the few ayahs clearly indicate.
*"And We have revealed the Book to you which has clear explanation of everything, and a guidance, mercy and good news for those who submit." (Qur'an 16:89)
“Shall I then seek a Judge other than Allah? When it is He Who has revealed to you the Book fully detailed?” (Qur'an 6:114)
“The words of your Lord are complete in its truth and justice. Nothing can change His words – He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. If you obeyed most of those on earth, they would lead you away from the path of Allah. They follow nothing but speculation – they are merely guessing.” (Qur’an 6:115-116)
We have explained (things) in various (ways) in the Qur'an, in order that they may receive admonition, but it only increases their flight from the truth. (17:41)
And We have explained to mankind, in this Qur'an, every kind of similitude, yet the greater part of mankind refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude ...](17:89)
And verily We have coined for mankind in this Qur'an all kinds of similitude, that perhaps they might reflect ...](39:27)
We have explained in detail in this Qur'an, for the benefit of mankind, every kind of similitude, but man is in most things contentious. (18:54)
2) Secondly one should understand the Quran as the Prophet (saw) explained it. (No pseudo-intellectual speculations or misinterpreting the verses allowed)*
The Qur’an makes it abundantly clear that the function of the Messenger is not merely that of a deliveryman who simply delivers the revelation from Allah to us. Rather, he has been entrusted with the most important task of explaining and illustrating the same. This is a point mentioned in a number of verses in the Qur’an:
*And We have revealed unto thee the Remembrance that thou may explain to mankind that which had been revealed for them, and that haply they may reflect.
And We have revealed the Scripture unto thee only that thou may explain unto them that wherein they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.*
Therefore, Hadith explains, clarifies, and removes ambiguities about the Qur’an. Hence, once we reject the Hadith, we may never be able to figure out the whole meaning of the Qur’an.

That's exactly what you're refusing. I'm telling you myself that Quran is the answer to your every question. It explains itself. You are the one who takes one verse and interpret it your way and then dont think about anythingggg else that Quran has to say... everything else to you is an 'exception' or a 'miracle'. I'm looking at the whole Quran for sure. You are not. Your interpretation contains contradiction with other verses. Mine does not.

3) Thirdly we use the Ijma As-Sahabah to understand any verse.
The onus is on you to prove that Ijimah As-Sahabah is in your favour – You will never find even an iota in your favour.
4) Fourthly, Qiyas and Ijtihad: Here nothing is in favour for your beliefs.
Misinterpretation of Quranic ayahs, twisting the ahadith, attributing incorrect narrations to the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) and using pseudo rationality and bogus logic doesn’t work in Islam.
Islam is faith of purity and righteousness; so it cannot be polluted with falsehood.
[/QUOTE]
You do not have ijmah of sahabah in your favor for certain. Neither ijmah, nor any hadith proving Him alive, nor any Quranic verse. You are relying solely on your holy scholars who has told u a belief and now you're trying your utmost best to defend it by basically rejecting quranic verses.. you cannot simply just say nething being incidental or miracles if quran does not approve of it.
Islam surely is a faith of purity. It is people like you who have made it seemed like a fairytale.. I'm here showing the pure side of Islam...and you're insisting on believing in a belief which has no room in Islam but merely believing because you've been told to. Sad!
These scholars can be counted on one hand. Just a drop in the ocean. It would have been interesting if you had posted stance of Javed Ahmad Ghamdi regarding Ahmadiyyat and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.
There you go. Ghamdi, a perfect example. Have whatever perception of jamaat you like. But accept atleast from Quran what its telling you.

Trust me, I feel the same, it is beyond me to understand how you could blindly follow this man who in full of contradictions and a false prophet. But it is Allah (swt) who turns the hearts to the Truth.
I don’t need to change the topic and will not. What I quoted is from your esteemed books, penned none other than your hero.
See how is keeping himself on par with the Noble Prophet (saw)!!!!
In fact he had the audacity/nerve to claim that he is really Prophet Muhammad in the second coming!!!
Yes, you got it right! Muslims believe in finality of Prophet hood and that Isa Ibn Maryum (as) will come as Allah (swt) has WILLED it. No vacancy for any imposters.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s claim is important for me as I must be aware of false prophets and it is my duty like upon any other Muslim to make people aware of this fitnah.
[/QUOTE]
We are NOT talking about Jamaat. If you have something to refute my arguments about Isa a.s death.. you're more than welcome to talk to me with Quran and ahadith or else writing paragraphs after paragraphs is of no benefit to you.
Keep all your claims about false prophet or whatever to yourself and learn to be polite and respectful towards other people's holy leaders. Just because you do not believe in someone does not give you the licence to say whatever that comes to your mind. I humbly request you to watch your words please.
You see, you are the one full of contradiction. NO vacancy available.. and yet Jesus a.s CAN come.. Either tell me that theres no prophet after Muhammad PBUH, and accept Isa a.s's death. OR dont say theres no vacancy. There sure is. You believe it to be so. Now, thats your definition that the same Jesus a.s will come back. See, the belief of mine is on different than yours. Only problem is the personality.
