Re: What do Ahmedi’s call mainstream muslims?
Peace psyah,
Yes. As far as the aqaid of sunnis are concerned, they are pretty much in line with the Ahmadis. Like I said earlier, the aqeedah of someone coming ‘after’ Muhammad PBUH is the same between you and me. The problem is the ‘recognition’ of the person. That’s it. You believe Jesus a.s is going to come back. Ahmadis on the other hand say someone with the qualities and spiritual name of Son of Mary will come in muslim ummah. That’s the only difference we have sir. It all boils down to that.
You also await the person who will lead you and who will be a follower of Muhammad PBUH. You make a prophet an ummati of Muhammad PBUH, we Ahmadis believe an ummati of Muhammad PBUH will be ranked the status of prophethood. The fact that you too are waiting for someone ( be it Jesus ) , makes our aqeedah one and the same on this issue.
As far as the belief of Adam (as) is concerned, it really shouldn’t matter what we say or not say on that issue as this belief is not a standard on which you can judge us as Muslim or non-muslim. I have no interest in knowing if He had parents or no parents. It irrelevant to me. Whatever Quran says, ill just take it as is, provided that one verse on Adam(as) in Quran doesnt contradict with another, I’m fine with that.
