You have nothing to talk about regarding the knowledge of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS. You have not read any of his books. Period.
the only reason i avioded the discussion on Mirzan Ghulam Ahmed's Knowledge was, i wanted to ANSWER YOUR QUESTION OF THE DAY... Iam sure if this discussion contiunes, we will be talking about the Knowledge and source of Knowledge of Ghulam Ahmed Qadyan...
Pakistan is the country founded for the Muslims, ( I believe when u said Muslims, you meant all sorts of Muslims ..all 72 sects , within them, some believe La Ilaaha Illallahu Muhammadur Rasoolullah ), If that is what you meant then count Ahmadi Muslims in it too please. Second of all, ok fine, it was founded for Muslims but the founder of this "Muslim" country himself is saying that whoever is the citizen of this nation is free to practice anything in terms of religion. You are free to go to temple, mosque, church or guduwara. I hope as you read the stuff about foundation of Pakistan, you must have read the advice given to you people by this founder.
Now there is a thing, a basic thing about the sect...
Muslims are manily divided into two sects, Shia and Sunni, then there are further school of thoughts within those sects, which BTW cannot be declared as SECTS, All these Sects and School of thought, agrees on the basics of Islam, that is amoung them is, there is No Prophet After Mohammad (SAAW) and as per Quran Sura-e-Maida, Allah says that Today I Have Completed the Religion For You... so there is no need of any prophet, were as, this particular sentence/information cannot be found in other divine books (as per my knowledge). As you know, Ahmadi do have a Prophet after Prophet Mohammad (SAAW), so they are in cotradiction with Sharia or Prophet Mohammad (SAAW) and Quran, how can they be a Muslims then!!!
Now, in terms of practicing religion, You are free to practice it, Hindu, Sikh, Christains and other minorities are practicing their religion, but if a Hindu, who contiunes to worship Idols and call it and preaches this as teaching of Islam, then this is not acceptable by anyone. Hope you can find out the difference between practicing one's religion and preaching it in deciving manner.
Bunch of B.S. Call them Ahmadis, if not ahmadi Muslims. Not by any other name. I'd appreciate that.
Have you ever came across someone who claimed to be Jew but is preaching about what Jesus AS teachings are? Why shud we call ourselves someone other than Muslims and then preach Islam? This doesnt make sense at all. We would say We are Ahmadis, and then the moment we start "preaching" our beliefs, they'll know its the "Muslims" teachings they are teaching. Hence we reject to be called anyone else but Muslims first and then the beliefs we hold make us Ahmadi Muslims. The religion as i said before is Islam. This is what we have always preached. Its people like you who have problem when we spread the name of Allah in places in Africa where they never heard about the Holy Book Quran.
Trust me when I say Ahmadiyya jamaat is not hiding. You people threatend us to move out of countries where we get more protection in terms of our lives. Today if you take out the law from the Pakistani gov't that Ahmadis are Muslims, you will see the kalima taiyyaba written in every Ahmadi Muslims mosques.
Thats exactly my point is.. the only difference between the Jews and Christains ( in the early days) was about the Prophet-hood of Jesus Son of Marry (AS), basedon this difference, Christians adopted a name which is closer to the name of Christ (AS). So if we Muslims are WRONG and have not RECOGNIZED the prophet-hood of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadyan, then you the Ahmadies have to dis-associate yourselves from us. You need to have ur own identity, based on the teaching and the knowledge provided to you by Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadyan.. Imagine a Christian, who still want to be called a Jew... that is not possible, so is Ahmadi calling himself a Muslim, Follower of Prophet Mohammad (SAAW), how come a follower of Mohammad (SAAW) can believe in a Dajaal... the Imposter.. when Prophet Mohammad (SAAW) on number of Ocassion have giving the clear instructions/guidlines to beware of Imposters as there is not going to be any other Prophet after Him (SAAW).
Threats can be one of the reason for moving out of Pakistan, but trust me, it is not the only reason, Nowadays, Ahmadies are talking about How badly they are being treated in Pakistan and their existence is at risk.. this enables them to get imigration/asylum of some rich european countries, i know its hard to digest but, the threat is not as big as it is potrayed and i totally understand the need of this threat, the more it is propogated, the more chances to get asylum...
Hazrat Muhammad PBUH's earlier companions used to pray in hidden places as well.. Ahmadiyyat is an open invitation to everyone. This is the true Islam as i have always said. Go to jalsa salaana UK, USA,Canada,India,Bangladesh or whichever else country you think you wanna go to .. and see how many people are accepting Islam e Ahmadiyya. People from all age group, gender, race, religion and coming under one banner which claims that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad PBUH is His Messenger. It is only unfortunate countries like Pakistan where Ahmadis are not allowed to be open, or else who really loves to hide their own beliefs?
Yup, they use to hide their Iman, as they were few who had accepted Islam, a but you claim that thousands of people are accepting Ahmadiyat every year, so... aren't you contradicting yourself here??? comapring Ahmadia with the Early days of Makkah and on the same note saying that MANY people ( i guess it is big number) are accepting Ahmadiyat... In Makkah, Muslims did hide but then they opened up, desptite their small number They announed what they believed, and they preached it...desptie the fact that whole world was against them...In Pakistan Ahmadies are open, only deciving is not allowed...
Speaking of this issue, I thought of this hadith (perhaps you may find it if u search for it, but i just write it in my own words ), that Muhammad PBUH said that there will be a time when momin will hide their Imaan.
I know about that hadees, Muslims are hiding their faiths, and trust me, and it is not Ahmadies who are hiding it, the time will come soon when, Muslims will try not to talk about the religion at all.. but that is bit different to your point of view, again, we talk from different prespective, so we have different understanding... you call you self, Ahmadi and you can get Visa/Immigration/Asylum in western countries, any Muslim may hide his religion and call himself the same to get economic independent...
The five pillars of Islam doesnt require one to belive Muhammad PBUH to be the last as last in your sense. Heck the kalima as we only speak about it doesnt even say to admit Him SAW to be the last.. and even if it had , we would have still taken that word to mean 'the perfect' or the "the most exhaulted". dont reject your own beliefs just to prove Ahmadiyyat wrong. Think with cool minded that Imam Mehdi AS has to be given the title of prophet. He AS will be coming as a Muhammad PBUH servent, He's got to be divinly guided my friend.
Again you said, the five pillars does not, Make Prophet Mohammad (SAAW) the last prophet, and even if they does, you will still take some meaning out of it to serve your purpose... I do not need to comment on that, as i Agree with you, Ahmadiyat has done exactly the same.. Now only Ahmadi can think that Imam Mehdi has a title of Prophet!!! not any sane muslim of any cult will ever say that..
Ok. So there have been people claiming to be Imam Mahdi AS. Its a serious problem for you guys, why asking us what we think about it. Its now up to you who u think is the one sent by Allah. We accepted Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS to be Imam Mahdi AS and yet you are still waiting.
To us, they are liars. Allah has not shown anything in favour of them. Solar and Lunar eclipses were the heavenly sings only to be shown for Imam Mahdi, which were shown when Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS claimed to be Imam Mahdi. Next, their jamaat ( if any ) would not be as organized as jamaat e Ahmadiyya. Next, they have no system of Khilafat. Next, none of them defended Islam ( killing swine and breaking the cross ) against Christianity the way Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS did. There are many other reasons why they cant be the one prophecised.
But they says they are not liars, they are guided by Allah, they have some targets and strange enough they have some followers, now these followers are in hiding, ( same as you tried to compare Ahmadiyat with Early days of Sahaba), they are preaching, ( Same as Ahmadiyat), they might be having Annual Jalsaas ( followers of Gohar Shahi do have weekly and annual jalsaas) where some people join them.. so how can you refute them... Again Mirza Ghulam Ahmed never broke the Cross, Christianity is still the leading religion on earth ( by breaking it never means that you build/buy a cross and break it, even i can do that) and same with the Swine, the are in that big number, that they got a diease named after their name... Swine Flu ( again killing of Swine never meant to kill a swine, thousands of Christains are doing it at daily basis, its their business to sell its meat.. even i have killed a Swine in Bella of Ravi ( Narowal district) while i was hunting some deers their...) So what ever is true for u is for them, as Mirza Didn't have the same...How will you refute them...thats my question.. for you TODAY...does Mirza Ghulam Ahmed sheded some light on it...???
Anyway, as i said, it is none of our problem now. We accepted who we had to. Its now your turn to make up your mind. In fact, it should be fair if I ask you what you think of them. No?
it is your problem, somebody have taken the same path and have declared him self Mehdi, who knows they go to next phase and declare them as Jesus... so now we have Mirza Ghulam Ahmed ( and others) and these guys.. who is wrong and who is right.. how come a follower of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadyan will refute them, how come you prove them imposters and liars??? please answer this with references from Mirza Ghulam Ahmed's writings...
So, you are still going to be eaten by cat even if you close your eyes. I could also say that believing in anyone after Prophet Muhammad PBUH will not going to effect my belief as a "MUSLIM"
It does my friend, as you are calling the Prophet Mohammad (SAAW) a liar, as He (SAAW) clearly said, no Prophet After me... but again like you said above, you can use the meaning, play around with the words, which suits you the best!!!
Talk about when we call you non-muslim , you feel offended? When you are clearly the one rejecting the hadiths? How amazing is that? really!
which hadees may i ask, infact i had these debate about him with many times, none have ever given me a Hadees from Bukhari or Muslim to prove his existance or coming.. secondly their are very few ahadees about him and most of them fall into the category of WEAK if not fabricated....Ya Shias have many ahadees about Him.. but again it is them...what i do beileve that Like Salahuddin Ayoubi, there will be a time, when Muslims will get their leader, under whom muslims will be united and will fight against others...
