Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1) What is Ahmadiyyat? The Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam(Jamaat) was founded by “Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad” (Mirza Sahib) in 1889 who was born in either 1835 or 1839 and died in 1908. He claimed the title “The Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi” and simply put was one of the many messiahs of the 19th Century claiming to be the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. In his 1902 book Kashti Nuh(Noah’s Ark) he explained the logic behind his claim. “In the third part of Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya(a book that he wrote in the 1880’s), God had named me Mary and as apparent from it, I was nurtured into the qualities of Mary for a couple of years. When a period of two years lapsed then, as stated on page 496 of the 4th volume of Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya, the soul of Jesus was infused in me as it was infused in Mary and, in an allegoric sense, I was stated to be pregnant. Thereafter, after many months not exceeding a period of ten months after this revelation, I was, through a revelation recorded at the end of Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya on page 556, named Jesus and hence I came to be the Son of Mary.” (Kashti Nuh; Roohani Khazain, Volume 19, Page 50; Three In One, Page 109) Mirza Sahib also claimed that Jesus went to India after the incident of the Cross and lived there until the age of 120 and that the tomb of a man named Yuz Asaf in India is actually the tomb of Jesus Christ. His followers call themselves “Ahmadis” or “Ahmadi Muslims.” They claim that “Ahmadiyyat”(a.k.a. “Qadianism”) is the “True Islam.” However in 1974, Rabita Alame Islami(Muslim World League), which represents all religious

scholars from every Muslim country of the world passed a unanimous resolution declaring them to be Non-Muslim, Kuffar(Disbelievers), and outside the fold of Islam. They are also known as “Qadianis.” Since the death of Mirza Sahib, the Qadiani leadership has been under the rule of 5 “Khalifas”(“Caliphs”). 1) Maulana Al-Hajj Nooruddin(1841 - 1914), a.k.a. “Hazrat Al-Hajj Hakim Nooruddin”, “Khalifatul Masih Awal”(“1st Caliph to the Messiah”) 2) Mirza Mahmud(1889 - 1965), a.k.a. “Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad”, “Khalifatul Masih Sani”(“2nd Caliph to the Messiah”) 3) Mirza Nasir(1909 - 1982), a.k.a. “Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad”, “Khalifatul Masih Al-Salis”(“3rd Caliph to the Messiah”) 4) Mirza Tahir(1928 - 2003), a.k.a. “Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad”, “Khalifatul Masih Rabi”(“4th Caliph to the Messiah”) 5) Mirza Masroor(1950 - ????), a.k.a. “Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad”, “Khalifatul Masih Al-Khamas”(“5th Caliph to the Messiah”) Leader Years as Leader Significance Mirza Sahib (1889 - 1908) Founder of the Jamaat Maulana Al-Hajj Nooruddin (1908 - 1914) Best Friend of Mirza Sahib Mirza Mahmud (1914 - 1965) Eldest Son from Mirza Sahib’s 2nd wife Mirza Nasir (1965 - 1982) Eldest Son of Mirza Mahmud Mirza Tahir (1982 - 2003) Another Son of Mirza Mahmud Mirza Masroor (2003 - ????) A Great-Grandson of Mirza Sahib Table 1: Relationships and Significance of Ahmadi Leaders 1.2) The Hybrid Cult A good(but not perfect) analogy is the following: Qadianis ARE TO Muslims AS Jehovah’s Witnesses/Mormons ARE TO Christians. In fact, the Qadiani Cult is sort of a Hybrid between 2 groups that have been labeled as cults by many Christians. However, a very small fraction of Mirza Sahib’s followers belong to the Ahmadiyya Anjumaan Isha’at-e-Islam Lahore known as “Lahoris.” They also claim to be “Ahmadis.” They accept Maulana Al-Hajj Nooruddin as the “Khalifa” to Mirza Sahib, but they reject the Qadiani interpretation of “Khilafat.” Maulana Muhammad Ali and a small group of people broke away and left Qadian in 1914 and went to Lahore when Mirza Mahmud was selected by an overwhelming majority of the Ahmadis. From what I have read and heard, this group does not follow the general cult like tendencies. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to name the Lahoris as a cult. The table below describes the “Hybrid characteristics” of Qadianis. Characteristic Mormons Witnesses Qadianis

Table 2: A Comparision of 3 Cults 1.3) Am I a Religious Fanatic? Due to my strong opposition to Ahmadiyyat, I have been accused of being a religious fanatic, “fundamentalist,” etc. You get the picture. One funny threat I recently got from an Ahmadi is the following: “You will be listed as a person interested in espousing hate in America. The authorities know exactly what to do about you.” Nothing could be further from the truth. I am not a “fanatic” nor a “fundamentalist.” I was born into an Ahmadi family. Just last year, I was paying “Chanda”(financial donations) and served the Jamaat as the “Youngest Nazim” at the 2003 USA Jalsa Salana(Annual Convention). However, over the last year, I have been doing a lot of reading and research on Islam and Ahmadiyyat searching for the truth. By the Grace of AllahSWT, I am grateful that I have been guided from Kufr to Islam. I feel it to be my duty to inform and educate others about the true nature of the Ahmadiyya Fraud in the name of Islam. “After the last several years of my study I have reached this conclusion that Jamaat Ahmadiyya is definitely not Islam, neither is it a sect within Islam. Rather it is a new religion, which has been grafted in the body of Islam like a parasite.” - Shaikh Raheel Ahmad, Former Ahmadi from Germany who left the Jamaat in 2003 Would you call Raymond Franz who is a former member of Jehovah’s Witnesses and author of Crisis of Conscience a “fundamentalist”? This is a struggle of Right vs. Wrong. This is about justice and freedom from oppression. This is about Truth vs. Falsehood.

The Qadiani Cult has led many astray by lies and deception and continues to do so today. I am simply using Mirza Sahib’s favorite tool which he claimed “Jihad of the Pen” to prove Mirza Sahib and his family wrong. It is nothing personal against the ordinary members of the Jamaat. This booklet has been prepared to educate Muslims, Ahmadis, and interested people of other faiths by providing an Unbiased and Fair Analysis using the Holy Quran, Gospel, Authentic Ahadith, Ahmadi Literature, Neutral Literature, and the Events of History to prove the Falsehood of Ahmadiyyat. More Muslims need to be educated and aware of the doctrines of Qadianism such as the ridiculous belief that 1000 prophets may appear after Muhammad(peace be upon him). Hopefully, by reading this booklet more Ahmadis will be guided from Kufr to Islam. “You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.” - Abraham Lincoln (Thirty Years A Watchtower Slave, Page 87, by William Schnell) I would like to thank Missionary Mirza Afzal of Vancouver, Canada and Missionary Azhar Haneef of Philadelphia, USA who are 2 of the Top Ahmadi Missionaries for the time they took out of their busy schedules to have a face to face debate with me. I would also like to thank all the Ahmadis, Muslims, and Christians whose cooperation and correspondence have been of great help. 1.4) Disclaimer I am not affiliated nor partnered with any person, book, organization, website, etc. that I use to support my arguments. Reader agrees not to file any lawsuits against me for any damage that this booklet might cause. The website references and hyperlinks were accurate as of 12/25/2004.

All analysis of Ahmadi literature in this book is referring to Qadiani literature with the exception of the books of Mirza Sahib whose analysis is applicable to both sects of Ahmadis: Qadianis and Lahoris. Also, the word “Jamaat” as used in this booklet will refer specifically to the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam or Jamaat Ahmadiyya. There are also other “Jamaats” in the world today. Qadianis might complain that they find term “Qadiani” offensive and a sign of disrespect. I do not think it is offensive at all since the founder of the movement was from the town of Qadian, is buried in Qadian, and even referred to himself as a “Qadiani.” Secondly, they fail to realize that many Muslims find the term “Ahmadi” offensive as Ahmad is the second name of our beloved prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him). Imagine if someone called you a “Muhammadan.” Would you not find this term offensive? Wasalam, Ahsen Malik 12/25/2004 ahsen@amalik.com

Chapter 3: Sneaky Tricks of Ahmadi Missionaries

3.1) Chapter Introduction Click for Table of Contents Based on my experiences with them I would like to expose their sneaky tricks. 3.2) Indulgence into the Holy Quran When they cannot answer a legitimate question, they will try to confuse you by fraudulently indulging into the Holy Quran even though the prophecy of the 2nd coming of the Jesus(peace be upon him) is from the Bible and Ahadith. Throughout this booklet, I will give examples of this. 3.3) Inconsistent Use of Ahadith “On the whole the scholars of the Ahmadiyya Community make free and rather indiscriminate use of hadith in their works and lectures. They reject Traditions which stand against the Ahmadiyya dogma, irrespective of the grade of authenticity recognized by the scholars of hadith. On the other hand, Traditions which can be interpreted favourably to the Ahmadiyya dogma, are accepted even if they are universally regarded to be spurious.” (Hadith in Ahmadiyya Theology, by Munir Ahmed) This is so true. On one hand they make claims on unauthentic weak Ahadith and on the other hand when you try to use strong hadith to prove a point that they cannot answer they will sometimes change the subject and bring up irrelevant Ahadith and try to get you to explain it to them. I am not kidding. Mirza Afzal brought up the following hadith and wanted me to explain it to him, attempting to make me look incompetent when I was unable to give him a “satisfactory answer.”

“Moses(peace be upon him) was a very shy person and used to cover his body completely because of his extensive shyness. One of the people of Israel annoyed him by saying, ’He covers his body in this way only because of some defect in his skin, either leprosy or scrotal hernia, or he has some other defect.’ Allah wished to clear Moses(peace be upon him) of what they said about him, so one day while he was in seclusion, he took off his clothes and put them on a stone and started taking a bath. When he finished the bath, ... the stone took his clothes and fled; Moses(peace be upon him) picked up his stick and ran after the stone saying, ’O Stone, Give me my garment!’ Till he reached a group of Bani Israel who saw him naked then, and found him the best of what Allah had created, and Allah cleared him of what they had accused him of. The stone stopped there and Moses(peace be upon him) took and put his garment on and started hitting the stone with his stick. By Allah, the stone still has some traces of the hitting.” (Sahih Bukhari #3404, Sahih Bukhari #278 with a slightly different narration) How this hadith is relevant to the subject of the “Truth of Ahmadiyyat,” I am not exactly sure. Maybe you could figure that one out...

Chapter 4: An Analysis of “Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad”

4.1) Chapter Introduction Click for Table of Contents This chapter analyzes the claim of Mirza Sahib in determining whether he is the “Son of Mary” that is referred to in the Ahadith or Not? 4.2) The True Messiah OR One of Several False Messiahs? One case the Jamaat makes that you might be thinking about is that the Jews did not accept Jesus(peace be upon him) as the Messiah and similarly the Muslims of the time don’t accept Mirza Sahib as the Messiah. This argument is completely invalid because every false messiah of the 19th century could use this type of argument. Then they will say to look at what Mirza Sahib has accomplished and look what the other false messiahs have accomplished and see the difference. No, Mirza Sahib has not really accomplished much at all. All he has done is created a “new religious movement.” There have been many “new religious movements” since the 19th century such as Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Bahais, 7th Day Adventists, Hare Krishnas, Nation of Islam, etc. many of whom still exist just like the one Mirza Sahib created. Jesus(peace be upon him) specifically warned us: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ’I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many...” - The Holy Bible, (Matthew 24:4-5), New International Version Not only do Ahmadis fraudulently indulge into the Holy Quran and Ahadith, they also fraudulently indulge into the Bible. Let us take a look at a passage that comes a little bit later in the same chapter(24) of Matthew and the Ahmadi interpretation:

Figure 1: Scanned Extracts from Pages 7 - 8 of Q4 2000 Al Nahl Magazine Let us take a look right above the passage that they are quoting to get the true meaning. “For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect - if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. So if anyone tells you, ’There he is, out in the desert,’ do not go out; or, ’Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.” - The Holy Bible, (Matthew 24:24-26), New International Version That last statement is very important. do not believe it do not believe it do not believe it do not believe it do not believe it do not believe it do not believe it do not believe it do not believe it do not believe it And then comes the verse that the Ahmadis quote in support of Mirza Sahib: “For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man.” - The Holy Bible, (Matthew 24:27), New International Version

Ladies and gentlemen, it does not a rocket scientist to figure out the true meaning of the above passage. The true meaning of the above passage that the Ahmadis have blatantly distorted(which I am sure most Christians would also agree to) is that when he returns, his return is going to be so obvious to everyone. According to the above passage, the fact that we are even having this debate proves Mirza Sahib to be false. Muhammad(peace be upon him) also warned us: “In My Ummah there shall be born 30 Grand Liars, each of who will claim to be prophet, But I am the Last Prophet; there is No Prophet after Me.” (Abu Dawood Volume 2, Page 228; Tirmidhi Volume 2, Page 45) I think above the above quotations need no further explanation. However, if you are still need more convincing, let us take a look at the signs. 4.3) Did Mirza Sahib “Break the Cross”? “The Hour will not be established until the Son of Mary(Jesus, peace be upon him) descends amongst you and will judge mankind justly by the Law of the Quran(as a just ruler); he will break the cross...” (Sahih Bukhari #2476) While it is true that Mirza Sahib during the early part of his career when he merely claimed to be Mujaddid(Reformer) did “defend Islam from the Cross”(to a limited extent), in the end he did not “Break the Cross.” There is huge difference between defending and breaking. One implies defense, the other offense. “He will defeat the Christian faith with strong reasoning and powerful arguments. The destruction of the cross, therefore, stands for the ideological rout of Christianity.” (Welcome to Ahmadiyyat, The True Islam, Page 277) After his (in)famous 1893 debate with Abdullah Atham(a Christian) recorded in his book Jang-i-Muqaddas(The Sacred Battle), some of his own followers became Christians. (Anwar-ul-Islam; Roohani Khazain, Volume 9, Page 28) For example, Yusuf Khan was his follower but later claimed “I do not like Mirza Sahib’s teachings.” (An Account of Exoneration, Pages 197-198; Kitab-ul-Bariyya; Roohani Khazain, Volume 13) Instead of “Breaking the Cross”, Hindus and Muslims “United with the Cross” against him in the attempted murder case of Dr. Clark. (Ahmad The Guided One, Page 181) or (Tadhkirah, Page 42) “This prophesy was interpreted to mean that all Christians shall convert to Islam and Christianity as a separate religion shall cease to exist.” (Who is the Promised Messiah, The Institute for Islamic Education and Information, Brochure 30) From 1891 to 1911 in his own district of Gordaspur, while he was supposed to be “Breaking the Cross”, Christianity grew from 2,400 to 23,000!!! In Pakistan, today there are at least an estimated 1 million or so Christians. In India, the number is at least 20 million. These numbers have gradually increased throughout the 20th century. I brought up this point in my debate with Mirza Afzal. Checkmated, he fraudulently indulged into the Holy Quran. He tried to somehow show from a verse of the Holy Quran that Christianity and the belief of Trinity

will always be around until the Day of Judgment. I sent him multiple emails asking him for the reference of this verse so it could show it to you. It has been over three months now and as of 12/25/2004, he has been very uncooperative and refused to respond. Obviously, he himself knows that he is running a fraud against Islam. Since he is a very good speaker and public debater watch out for him; he is very active in setting up debates, interfaith symposiums, and even had his own radio show. If you ever attend one of them or meet him, make sure to expose the fraud. 4.4) Did Mirza Sahib “Kill the Swine”? “By Him(Allah) in Whose Hands my soul is, surely the Son of Mary will shortly descend amongst you people and will judge mankind justly by the Law of the Quran(as a just ruler) and will break the cross and kill the swine... ” (Sahih Bukhari #3448) “The word ’swine’ is not to be taken in the literal sense. It connotates the cultural filth of the Western World which turns men into beastly beings. The word swine stands for the so called sexual anarchy sweeping across America and Europe. It stands for the disgusting debauchery which claim even innocent children as its victims.” (Welcome to Ahmadiyyat, The True Islam, Page 278) Their own interpretation of swine proves the falsehood of their movement. For example, around the time of the death of Mirza Sahib, if you read the history of America it was a very conservative country compared to today. There were no porn magazines and sex outside of marriage was considered haraam(forbidden). Yet, study the society history and look what gradually happened(generation by generation) after he died! The exact opposite happened. 4.5) What signs did Mirza Sahib fulfill? Click for Table of Contents One trick Mirza Afzal tried to pull was giving the example of the following verses of the Holy Quran: “They say: ’Why is not a Sign sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say: ’Allah hath certainly power to send down a Sign:’ But most of them understand not.” - The Holy Quran, (6:37) “But (now) when the Truth has come to them from Ourselves, They say, ’Why are not (Signs) sent to him, like those that were sent to Moses?’ Do they not then reject (The Signs) which were formerly sent to Moses? They say: ’Two kinds of sorcery, each assisting the other?’ And they say: ’For us we reject all (such things)!’ ” - The Holy Quran, (28:48) The Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) specifically told us about the signs that we should look for. How can we accept someone who not only has not accomplished any of the signs, but since his arrival the trend has gone the other way?! On one hand they try to claim that the signs have been fulfilled using metaphorical analogies, and on the other hand when you prove them wrong they deceptively indulge into the Holy Quran! Beware! Another thing Ahmadis will say is that it is going to take 300 years according to Mirza Sahib. So we are supposed to believe Mirza Sahib, yet completely reject the sayings of the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him)? Subhanallah! What logic!

Let’s take a look at some other important signs: “By Him(Allah) in Whose Hands my soul is, surely the Son of Mary will shortly descend amongst you people and will judge mankind justly by the Law of the Quran(as a just ruler) and will break the cross and kill the swine and abolish the Jizyah. Then there will be an abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts.” (Sahih Bukhari #2222) “The Hour will not come until the Son of Mary descends as a just judge and just ruler. He would break the cross, slaughter the swine, withdraw Jizyah and until the riches will flow so much so that none would accept them (because of properity).” (Sunan Ibn-i-Majah #4078) In 1950, the World Population was around 2.5 Billion. Today this number is around 6.5 Billion. Most of this increase is in the developing countries in the world. 1) Today, around 3 Billion (500 Million more than the total world population in 1950) people live on less than $2 a day. 2) Approximately 790 million people in the developing world are still chronically undernourished, almost two-thirds of whom reside in Asia and the Pacific. 3) An analysis of long-term trends shows the distance between the richest and poorest countries was about:

• 11 to 1 in 1913 • 72 to 1 in 1992

4) The top fifth of the world’s people in the richest countries enjoy 82% of the expanding export trade and 68% of foreign direct investment -- the bottom fifth, barely more than 1%. (Reference: <http://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Facts.asp>) Look at the statistics and learn that once again the trend went in the opposite direction. “He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish Jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam.” (Sunan Abu Dawood #4310) Even Mirza Mahmud agreed with the above. “In short he was the Promised Prophet of every nation and was appointed to collect all mankind under the banner of one faith.” (Ahmadiyyat or the True Islam, Page 11) Once again, the exact opposite happened. Instead of uniting everyone under the banner of Islam, many new religious movements of all types formed around Mirza Sahib’s time. Read Mystics and Messiahs: Cults and New Religions in America by Phillip Jenkins and you’ll see what I’m talking about. 4.6) Conclusions on the Signs In conclusion, Mirza Sahib did not “Break the Cross”, but rather “the Cross got bigger.” He did not “Kill the Swine”, instead “the Swine increased.” Instead of uniting everyone under Islam, many new religious movements formed. He did not generate wealth(except for his own family), rather poverty and hunger increased. Everything that was supposed to happen, the exact opposite happened!

In light of this, how can any reasonable person accept Mirza Sahib to be the 2nd coming of Jesus(peace be upon him)? 4.7) Divine Revelation OR Plagiarism? The Jamaat claims that Mirza Sahib was a recipient of Divine Revelation. To examine this claim, we take a closer look at one of the fundamental teachings that was allegedly “revealed” to Mirza Sahib explained in Nuzhat Haneef’s book Recognizing the Messiah.

Figure 2: Extract from Page 341 of Recognizing the Messiah

Figure 3: Extract from Page 349 of Recognizing the Messiah I think the above extracts need no further explanation. 4.8) More Divine Revelation OR Plagiarism? Mirza Sahib’s “revelations” are published in the book Tadhkirah. “When it is said to them: Believe as other people have believed, they say: Shall we believe as the foolish have believed? Beware! It is surely they that are foolish but they do not know... Say: O ye disbelievers, I worship not that which you worship.” (Tadhkirah, Page 54) The interesting thing to note in regards to the above “revelations” was that our beloved Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) also received these same revelations around 1400 years ago. “When it is said to them: ’Believe as other people have believed,’ they say: ’Shall we believe as the fools have believed?’ Verily, it is surely they that are the fools but they do not know.” - The Holy Quran, (2:13) “Say: O ye disbelievers, I worship not that which you worship.” - The Holy Quran, (109:1,2) Funny how that works, isn’t it?! “We have bestowed upon thee abundance of every kind of good. So observe Prayer to thy Lord and offer Him sacrifice. Surely, it is thine enemy whose line will be cut off. If anyone from among the pagans should seek asylum with thee, grant him asylum. It is the same for them, whether you warn them or warn them not, they will not believe.” (Tadhkirah, Page 343) “Surely, We have bestowed upon thee abundance of good. So pray to thy Lord and offer sacrifice. Surely, it is thy enemy who will be cut off.” - The Holy Quran, (108) Mirza Sahib even had the audacity to plagiarize an entire Surah(Al Kawthar) of the Quran and claim it as his own revelation!!!!

“If anyone from among the pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him.” - The Holy Quran, (9:6) The above verse was revealed to the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) when the Muslims were at war with the Pagans. It being revealed to Mirza Sahib makes absolutely no sense at all. “It is the same for them, whether you warn them or warn them not, they will not believe.” - The Holy Quran, (2:6) Unfortunately, this is the state of many Ahmadis today. In Prophecy Continuous: Aspects of Ahmadi Religious Thought and Its Medieval Background, Yohanan Friedmann states: “Numerous passages that Ghulam Ahmad claimed to have received by way of revelation are identical, in part or full, with verses from the Quran. Sometimes the Quranic verse appears in the revelation in its original form. Other passages consist of Quranic verses mixed with non-Quranic material... Sometimes a revelation is slightly different from a Quranic verse.” (Friedmann 136) 4.9) Some Interesting Facts from the Life of Mirza Sahib Did you know that “Imam Mahdi”... ???? 1) Avoided leading the congregational prayer. (Seerat-ul-Mahdi, Volume 3, Page 111) 2) Was reluctant to pay Zakat. (Seerat-ul-Mahdi, Volume 3, Page 119) 3) Couldn’t even differentiate the left shoe from the right shoe! (Seerat-ul-Mahdi, Volume 1, Page 67) 4) Promised 50 volumes of Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya to Muslims that had invested in him and only delivered 5, while publishing around 80 books in between the 21 year period in which he published the 4th volume of Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya(1884) and the 5th volume of Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya(1905). He gave the excuse that since there is only a “dot difference” between 50 and 5, with 5 the promise of 50 was fulfilled. (Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya, Volume 5; Roohani Khazain, Volume 21, Page 9)

Chapter 5: Refutation of the Fundamental Qadiani and Lahori Doctrines

5.1) Chapter Introduction Click for Table of Contents The beliefs addressed in this chapter are common beliefs of all persons claiming to be “Ahmadis.” 5.2) Is Jesus really in India? On <http://store.alislam.org/jesusinindia.html>, the Jamaat states in regards to Jesus in India, “Ninteenth century’s greatest thesis...” Simply put, no it is not. Mirza Sahib is not the first person to come up with this theory of Jesus in India. This theory has been around centuries. In fact, his book is simply a thesis and nothing more. If you read it,

you will see that to prove his claim he quotes many references from many books that have been around for centuries. Are these the signs of a true prophet? Do true prophets write “Research Papers”? He is also not the first person to challenge the ascension as pointed out in 4.7. For example in the 18th century, Herman Reimarus believed that the body was removed by the disciples who then proclaimed the resurrection. Nicholas Notovitch wrote The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ in 1894(before Mirza Sahib wrote his book in 1899) which is one of the many books supporting this theory. I recently conducted a survey among some Ahmadis who are very sincere in their faith(some of who accuse me of going astray), asking them the following question: “According to Ahmadiyyat, did Jesus go to India only after the incident of the cross or did he go before and after the incident of the cross?” Below are some of the responses I received. Person Answer A Qaid “As far as I remember he went after he escaped.” A Distant Relative of Mine who has held Jamaat Posts

“As far as I remember, he went after his escape from cross. Pretty sure.”

A Rebellious Ahmadi who believes in Mirza Sahib, but openly criticizes the Jamaat Organizational Structure

“I am also not sure if he had traveled to Kashmir before the incident of Cross.”

A Friend of my Grandfather “Jesus went to India after the incident of crucifixion.” An Ahmadi who used to challenge Muslims to debate(on Ahmadiyyat) while he was in college

“The Promised Messiah himself questioned the idea that Jesus may have also gone to India before the crucifixion. Whether he did or didn’t does not matter.”

An Ahmadi Woman who is active in serving the Jamaat “He traveled to India after he escaped the cross, not before it.”

An “Islah-o-Irshad” (Tabligh) “You should be soliciting the ’According to Ahmadiyyat’ view from a representative of the Jamaat, e.g. a missonary or books of the Jamaat. For what it’s worth, my recollection of reading the literature is after.”

A “Staunch Ahmadi” “Jesus went to Kashmir after the incident of Cross and died there. He may have gone before Cross incident too but as it seems not that important for the historians of the time. This is not very clear.”

Table 3: Survey among Ahmadis The problem is that many of the people that subscribe to the Jesus in India theory who have written books about it such as Nicholas Notovitch, Elizabeth Claire Prophet who wrote The Lost Years of Jesus(1984), Maury Lee who wrote Jesus of India(2000), and others present their case that he went before the event of the cross(ages 13 - 29), not after! Holger Kersten, author of Jesus Lived in India(1986) agrees with Ahmadis that the tomb of Yuz Asaf is of Jesus but believes he went before and after. “There is a certain obscurity over the period from his childhood to the time he was raised as a Prophet. We do not know much of this period of his life.” (The True Story of Jesus, Page 18)

Well, the above authors completely disagree! You Ahmadis are so sure that he spent 80+ years in India; something that has absolutely no basis in the Bible, Quran, or any reliable Ahadith, yet you cannot tell us where he was from ages 13 - 29! Anwer Mahmood Khan Sahib is a very well respected Ahmadi. So well respected, he convinced Amir Sahib(the Late M.M. Ahmad Sahib) to cancel our Ijtema(Camp) a few years ago so he could have a better turnout at his Messiah 2000 Conference. Recently, he wrote an article in The Muslim Sunrise called Christian Theology and Modern Scholarship. To support his thesis, he presents a quote from Dr. Paul Pappas’s 1991 book Jesus’ Tomb in India. “Dr. Paul C. Pappas... reviewed Hadhrat Ahmad’s book Jesus in India and agreed with a number of arguments presented therein. Commenting on the Sign...” (The Muslim Sunrise, Issues 1-2, 2004, Pages 39-40) He quotes Dr. Pappas again on Pages 74-75 and 80 of the same issue to support his arguments. What was Khan thinking???!!! What Khan conveniently forgot to tell you(or deceptively tried to fool you) is that the same author who is a Professor of History, concluded that the Ahmadi theory had serious flaws in the same book. “Not only the works used by Ahmadis, but also their scholarship is questionable. They seem to have selected passages and to have presented them inaccurately and out of context in order to prove that Jesus went to Kashmir.” (Pappas 97) “The Ahmadi contention that Jesus was present with Thomas in India as Yuz Asaf is not in anyway supported by The Acts of Thomas. Therefore, the Ahmadi thesis can rest only on eastern legends recorded in oriental works, which for the most part are not reliable, not only because they were written long after the facts, but also because their stories of Yuz Asaf are different and in contradiction.” (Pappas 100) This shows how many Ahmadis blindly put their faith in their leadership without ever reading the whole story. 5.3) What happened to the Son of Mary? Click for Table of Contents Christian Belief Quranic Response Pork is Legal Rejected Death on Cross Rejected Trinity Rejected Son of God Rejected Ascension Confirmed Table 4: Christian Beliefs tested against the Holy Quran “Nay, Allah raised him(Jesus, peace be upon him) up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise” - The Holy Quran, (4:158) “And remember We took your Covenant and We raised you(The towering height of) Mount (Sinai)...” - The Holy Quran, (2:63)

“And he raised his parents high on the throne(of dignity)...” - The Holy Quran, (12:100) The Quran flat out rejects many of the fundamental Christian doctrines, but in regards to the ascension, not only does it not reject it, the language used by the Quran confirms it. The word “raised” can have multiple interpretations. But it is very clear that the word “raised” in this context of Jesus(peace be upon him) means “raised to heaven” because this was the belief of the Christians and if it was truly false, then it would have been rejected like the other mistaken beliefs of the Christians. “Oh Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee(of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith...” - The Holy Quran, (3:55), Yusuf Ali Translation “O Jesus! Lo! I am gathering thee and causing thee to ascend unto Me, and am cleansing thee of those who disbelieve and am setting those who follow thee above those who disbelieve...” - The Holy Quran, (3:55), Marmaduke Pickthall Translation “Jesus, I will take you unto Myself, and I will elevate you to Me, and clear you of those who scoff and will place those who follow you above those who scoff...” - The Holy Quran, (3:55), Thomas Cleary Translation “Oh Jesus, I shall cause thee to die and exalt thee in My presence and clear thee of those who disbelieve and make those who follow thee above those who disbelieve...” - The Holy Quran, (3:54), Muhammad Ali(Lahori Ahmadi) Translation “Oh Jesus, I will cause thee to die a natural death and will raise thee to Myself and will clear thee of the charges of those who disbelieve, and will exalt those who follow thee above those who disbelieve...” - The Holy Quran, (3:56), Malik Ghulam Farid(Qadiani Ahmadi) Translation Tawaffa - to die. Mutawaffika - I will cause you to die. “Not one single instance from the Holy Quran, or the sayings of the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) can provide an argument that this expression can be used in a sense other than to cause anyone to die by taking away his soul.” (Dictionary of the Holy Quran, Pages 615 - 616, by Abdul Mannan Omar) There are two ways to interpret the above verse. Which one is correct, I am not 100% sure but am definitely leaning towards the the 2nd. 1) The word “die” does not literally mean to die a natural death as the Ahmadi translation suggests. The word “die” is metaphoric and referring to the way Jesus(peace be upon him) was going to “die” or have his “soul taken away (from the earth)” which was going to be by being “raised” as indicated in the same verse; that is he would have an unusual “death” or “departure from the Earth” compared to all other human beings. Yusuf Ali and others have translated its meaning and not translated it literally. But that does not mean that it is to be interpreted the way Ahmadis do. 2) The word “die” actually does mean to die a natural death; when he returns that is. The Quran does not say when he is going to die nor does it say that he has died. It is just affirming that Jesus(peace be upon him) like all other human beings will die.

“He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die.” (Sunan Abu Dawood #4310) Furthermore, if you very carefully look at the three clauses separated by the two “and” statements which are specially related because in each of them Jesus(peace be upon him) is the object and AllahSWT is the subject and they refer to specific one-time events; one being the death, one being the raising, and one being the clearing of the charges, one can see how they are put in reverse order chronologically. The next clause is not related because in it Jesus(peace be upon him) is not the object and it is not referring to a specific event, but instead is a general statement for all times to come. So AllahSWT 1st cleared Jesus(peace be upon him) of the charges against him, then (2nd) He raised him(to heaven), and then (3rd) He will cause him to die. Otherwise it does not make any sense, for Jesus(peace be upon him) to die first, and then be acquitted. That would mean he died a guilty man. In this case, Yusuf Ali and others have made a slight mistake. But then comes the question about the following verse: “Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, ’Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord’; And I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up, Thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a Witness to all things.” - The Holy Quran, (5:117), Yusuf Ali Translation “I said nothing to them except that which Thou didst command me - ’Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them, but since Thou didst cause me to die, Thou hast been the Watcher over them, and Thou art Witness over all things.” - The Holy Quan, (5:118), Ahmadi Translation In this case “Tawaffaita” does not imply a literal and natural death, but rather a metaphoric death. This is very clearly understood if one looks at Who is talking. In (3:55), the speaker is specifically God. In (5:117), the speaker is Jesus(peace be upon him). “I” refers to AllahSWT and “Thee” refers to Jesus(peace be upon him) in (3:55) “I” refers to Jesus(peace be upon him) and “Thou” refers to AllahSWT in (5:117) This difference is huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If one looks at the Gospel they will see very clearly that many of the Words of Jesus(peace be upon him) are not meant to be taken literally, but rather in a metaphoric sense. For example: The phrase “The Father” and “My Father” are used heavily throughout all of the Gospel accounts. Now is Jesus(peace be upon him) referring to himself being God’s only son in the Trinity relationship as the Christians have misinterpreted? No, not at all. The word “Father” is used in a metaphoric sense. “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery...” - The Holy Bible, (Luke 16:18), New International Version Does a man who leaves his wife for another woman literally commit adultery? No, not at all. It’s just another metaphor for something that is very wrong to do.

Therefore, in this case, the word “die” is referring to the way Jesus(peace be upon him) was going to “depart from the earth,” that is, “be taken up” or be raised to heaven. Putting this verse together with all of the evidence that supports the ascension to heaven, I believe the above interpretation is perfectly reasonable. Therefore, it is my belief that Jesus Christ(peace be upon him) was indeed raised to heaven. Therefore, the Messiah to return is none other than the Son of Mary. In this case, there is no metaphor as the Ahmadis claim. Ahmadis have literally interpreted was to be metaphorically interpreted and metaphorically interpreted what was to be literally interpreted. Now why didn’t the companions bring this example up when the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) passed away? This is because he never specifically told them that Jesus(peace be upon him) was raised to heaven. He never gave any commentary on the verses. All he told them were the verses that was revealed to him, along with the sayings of the 2nd coming. The actual interpretation and conclusion(“connecting the dots”) was to be done by Muslim scholars after his death and might not have been known to his companions. Therefore, this argument that since his companions did not raise this objection is defeated. “He will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damascus...” (Sahih Muslim #2137, Kitab-al-Fitan) His method of arrival is also something that is subject to great ridicule by Ahmadis. Even though I got C’s in Physics, I do know something. “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” - Newton What goes up, must come down.

Chapter 6: Refutation of the Fundamental Qadiani Doctrines

6.1) Chapter Introduction Click for Table of Contents The beliefs addressed in this chapter are specific to the Qadiani sect(which is the overwhelming majority) of Ahmadis. The Lahoris claim that they agree with the Muslim Ummah that Muhammad(peace be upon him) is Last in Line of the Prophets. 6.2) Who is the last prophet? Muhammad(peace be upon him) “I am Muhammad, I am Ahmad, I am the effacer and infidelity shall be erased through me; I am the assembler. People shall be assembled on Doomsday after my time. And I am the last after whom there will be no prophet.” (Sahih Bukhari #3532; Sahih Muslim #2354, Kitab Al-Fadail) Ahmadi Missionaries might try to point you to verses of the Holy Quran saying that all prophets were rejected and somehow show that this is a sign of Mirza Sahib’s truthfulness. 3 points to respond to this:

1) This is why Muhammad(peace be upon him) specifically told us multiple times in Ahadith “There is no prophet after me” to avoid all confusion. The Muslim Ummah has rejected every claimant to prophethood after Muhammad(peace be upon him) starting with Musalima during the Khilafat of Hazrat Abu Bakr. Why should there be any exception made for Mirza Sahib? 2) Every false prophet of the 19th century could use this argument so it is completely invalid. Many men(and even some women such as Joanna Southcott) have claimed to be prophet in the 19th century. Out of all the centuries he could have come in, he had to come in the one century which was overloaded with false prophets. 3) 2 other religious groups that still exist today and follow a claimant to prophethood from the 19th century are the The Jesus Christ Church of Latter Day Saints(Mormons) who believe in the prophet Joseph Smith and The Bahais who believe in the prophet Mirza Husayn Ali, a.k.a. Bahaullah. Therefore, the following argument that the Jamaat makes in trying to prove Mirza Sahib’s truthfulness is completely invalid: “Thus, according to the Holy Quran an impostor of divine revelation never succeeds.” (The Promised Messiah and Mahdi, Page 31) Ahmadis might try to give the example of a couple of fulfilled prophecies. Sure, Mirza Sahib did have some prophecies that ended up coming true. However, Joseph Smith also made prophecies that came true. To give you some background on him: “In 1823 a young man named Joseph Smith had an encounter with an angel who led him to a cache of golden plates purporting to be the history of the lost tribes of Israel.” (No Man Knows My History, Back Cover) In 1832 he stated, “Verily, thus saith the Lord, concerning the wars that will shortly come to pass... which will eventually terminate in the death and misery of many souls... the Southern States shall be divided against the Northern States.” (No Man Knows My History, Page 124) Almost 30 years later this prophecy was fulfilled when the Civil War broke out. Then there was a prophecy in 1841 regarding the death of one of his enemies. “Rumor got about that he had predicted that the hated Boggs would meet a violent death within a year...” Boggs was shot to death in 1842. (No Man Knows My History, Page 323) Coincidently, just like Mirza Sahib he also predicted his own death. “Joseph feared an assassin would cut his days short before he saw the age of forty. On April 14, 1844, when he met with the apostles in one of their last meetings before they left on a campaign tour, he rushed through instructions...” (No Man Knows My History, Page 382) On June 27, 1844 he was murdered. He did not live to celebrate his 39th birthday. Similarly, Joseph Smith also had “Revelations.” (No Man Knows My History, Pages 57, 166, 263) 6.3) Qadiani Corrupt Interpretation of “Seal of the Prophets”

One way the Jamaat will try to advance their claim of Mirza Sahib being a prophet after Muhammad(peace be upon him) is that the rest of the Muslim World is awaiting Jesus(peace be upon him). When he returns, that would mean that a prophet has appeared after Muhammad(peace be upon him). “But the Descent of Isa(Jesus), on whom be peace, will definitely violate it(“Seal of the Prophets”) ... Isa, on whom be peace, cannot come without breaking the Seal.” (Ek Ghalati ka Izala; Roohani Khazain, Volume 18, Pages 207-209; The Memorandum, Pages 85-86) However, the general Muslim World for a long time has interpreted “Seal of the Prophets” to mean “Last in Line of the Prophets.” Noah ---- Moses ---- Jesus ---- Muhmmad(Seal or Last in Line) Muhammad(peace be upon him) is “Last in Line.” Therefore, when Jesus(peace be upon him) returns, he is not violating “Seal of the Prophets.” “When a seal is stamped on a paper the paper is attested as authentic. Thus a prophethood not bearing the seal and attestation of the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, is not valid.” (Al Hakam, 17 October 1902; Ahmadiyyat The Renaissance of Islam, Page 50) Hence, the “Seal” is the “Stamp.” Every prophet after him has to have Muhammad’s(peace be upon him) “Stamp.” This interpretation clearly implies that Mirza Sahib is not the only one, but there can be more prophets after him. The door to prophethood is open. In Anwar-i-Khilafat, Mirza Mahmud states: “As for me, I say that not only one prophet may appear but thousands.” (Anwar-i-Khilafat; Anwarul Uloom, Volume 3, Page 124) “If a man sharpened swords close by my neck threateningly asking me to say that no prophet will appear after Muhammad(peace be upon him) I would say to him, you are a liar, it is right, there must be prophets after him.” (Anwar-i-Khilafat; Anwarul Uloom, Volume 3, Page 127) Ironically, this actually came true when some of his own followers claimed to be prophet. “During the life time of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and Mirza Mahmud, many Qadianis laid claim to ’Messiahship’, ’Prophethood’ and ’Risalat’. There are over 30 such claimants. One amongst them was Khawaja Muhammad Ismail. He studied in Qadian in 1916, did his graduation from Islamia College, Lahore, and worked in a private firm. In 1933, he finally settled in Qadian and was a devotee and bodyguard of Mirza Mahmud. He wrote some booklets Asmani Badshahat, Ithad-ul-Almin etc and finally claimed to be the Mahdi, Messiah and the Prophet of the age. He was expelled from Qadian and finally settled down at 8 Bodwood, London S.W.II. He threw up numerous challenges of Mobahila to Mirza Bashir Ahmad and Mirza Mahmud, condemned Qadiani papacy and launched a crusade against Rabwah. He put out some prophecies, revelationary utterances, predicting a humiliating death for Mirza Mahmud, alleged to be a ’Wicked fellow’ a ’Pharoah’ and an ’Impostor.’ He boasted a lot when Mirza Mahmud died in 1965, and on the pattern set by Mirza Qadiani, he published tracts to prove the veracity of his claims. He used all weapons of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s arsenal to silence Rabwah. It caused a lot of embarrassment to Qadiani elders but they had to pocket the insult.”

(Ahmadiyya Movement - British Jewish Connections, Chapter 19) Hilarious, isn’t it????!!!! This Ahmadi interpretation just does not fit well at all with the following Ahadith: “There is no prophet between me(Muhammad, peace be upon him) and him(Jesus, peace be upon him).” (Sunan Abu Dawood #4310) Huthaifa Ghifari narrates that the descent of Jesus(peace be upon him) is one of the ten signs of the Last Hour. (Sahih Muslim #2901, Kitab-al-Fitan) Not the “Latter Days” which is what the Ahmadis claim! His return is a sign of the nearness of the Day of Judgment. Therefore, technically speaking, there is only 1 prophet that arrives at a chronological date after Muhammad(peace be upon him). Only 1! No more, and no less. The Ahmadis say, “He meant no new law-bearing prophets can come afterwards.” Then you refer to the following hadith: “The Israelites were ruled and guided by prophets. When a prophet passed away, another prophet succeeded him. There will be no prophet after me, but there will be caliphs who will increase in number.” (Sahih Bukhari #3455) Not every Israelite prophet brought law. Moses(peace be upon him) brought law(Torah). David(peace be upon him) brought a book(Psalms), but did not bring law. There were many other Israelite prophets such as Aaron(peace be upon him), who did not bring a law nor a book. Therefore, it is clear cut that he was referring to all types of prophets, not just law-bearing prophets. Therefore, this no new law-bearing prophets argument is also defeated. And in case they try to pull the following alleged saying of Ayeshara: “Certainly say he is Seal of the Prophets. But do not say that there is no prophet after him.” (Takmala Majma-ul Bahar) One way to look at it is to simply compare books. Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim vs. Takmala Majma-ul Bahar Who are you going to believe? I’m going to have to agree with Mirza Sahib on this one. “Of the other books that are accepted by us the Sahih of Bokhari ranks as the first. All its ahadeeth which are not opposed to the Holy Quran in our view are authoritative. Next comes the Sahih of Muslim.” (The Essence of Islam, Volume II, Page 104)

But for simplicities sake, even if we do assume that the saying is 100% authentic, there’s another thing. Who’s word do you go with? The person that is a prophet, or the person that is not a prophet? The Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) said, “There is no prophet after me.” The person that was not a prophet, Ayeshara said, “Do not say that there is no prophet after him.” Simply put, ladies and gentlemen we have what’s called a clear cut contradiction. It’s just not possible for both of these statements to be true. People do make mistakes. Isn’t it possible that she could have just made a simple honest mistake at the time? I am going to believe the person that is a prophet. Another stunt an Ahmadi might pull is the following alleged saying: “Had he(Ibrahim) lived, he certainly would have become a true prophet.” (Sunan Ibn-i-Majah) Ibrahim was a son of the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) who died in infancy. This event took place after the verse of “Seal of the Prophets” was revealed. To respond to this simply quote the following: “In his Sunan, Ibn Majah mainly included those ahadith that did not find a place in the other five Sihah works. Ibn Majah adopted this method with an intention to improve the usefulness of his book. With this purpose in mind, he did not pay attention to the accuracy of the texts nor reliability of the narrators. As a result of this, there are many ahadith from weak reporters in this text...While there are 1000 da’if (’weak’) ahadith in this work...” (Scholars of Hadith, Pages 156-157, by Syed Bashir Ali)

Chapter 8: An Analysis of “Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad”

8.1) Chapter Introduction Click for Table of Contents This chapter is devoted to analyzing whether Mirza Tahir was a true and pious Islamic Khalifa or Not? Mubahala - a prayer duel in which two parties take conflicting oaths inviting God’s curse upon the liar. 8.2) A Man of God OR “A Man of Fraud”? During the Khilafat of Mirza Tahir, the Jamaat supposedly achieved phenomenal gains.

1989: Approximately 10,000,000 Ahmadis in the world. 2004: Approximately 200,000,000 Ahmadis in the world. In 1989, the number of Ahmadis was around 5% of what it was in 2004. In conclusion, in 15 years the Jamaat has grown by 1,900 Percent!!! This seems very very unrealistic. To answer the above question, we will use an analogy to baseball and try to answer the following question: Did Mirza Tahir “Strike Out”? 8.3) Strike 1 - An Open Invitation to Mubahalaa By issuing An Open Invitation to Mubahala (Dated June 10, 1988), Mirza Tahir incited Syed Abdul Hafeez Shah to officially start the “Anti Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam.” This movement has proven to be a pain for the Jamaat. “My dear Mr. Mirza Tahir Ahmad! When we could not convince you in any way to sit together for Mubahila, we decided to create an awareness campaign by the name of Anti-Ahmadiyya Movement(started in 1991). The purpose was to put Muslims in every corner of the earth on their guard against the pious fraud of Ahmadiyya Movement in the name of Islam and to show Qadianis the real face of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Today by the Grace of AllahSWT Anti-Ahmadiyya literature is available in more than 13 languages. I am sure, Mirza Tahir, you are fully aware of the impact of our work. No wonder you remembered me with names like BAD ZAAT (wicked), KHABEES, and MANHOOS in your Jalsa Salana address of 1994. No doubt I am proving very very Manhoos for your Movement.” - Dr. Syed Rashid Ali in his 1997 letter “They(Hypocrites) will not fight you (even) together, except in fortified townships, or from behind walls. Strong is their fighting (spirit) amongst themselves: thou wouldst think they were united, but their hearts are divided: that is because they are a people devoid of wisdom.” - The Holy Quran, (59:14), Yusuf Ali Translation In addition to Syed Abdul Hafeez Shah and Al Hafiz B.A. Masri, Maulana Muhammad Yusuf Ludhianvi also accepted the challenge. “If you are serious in your ’Mubahala’ challenge with this dervish, then get going in the name of Allah. Come outside your house like a man, into the ground of ’Mubahala’ and move forward. Announce the time, date and place for holding the ’Mubahala’; then bring along your wife, children and family members in the ground at the appointed time.” - Maulana Muhammad Yusuf Ludhianvi in Reply to Mirza Tahir’s Challenge of Mubahala (Dated September 1, 1988) “They(Hypocrites) will not fight you in a body except in fortified towns or from behind walls. Their fighting among themselves is severe. Thou thinkest them to be united, but their hearts are divided. That is because they are a people who have no sense.” - The Holy Quran, (59:15), Ahmadi Translation “Mirza Tahir Qadiani played a trick on his Jama’at recently. He produced for them a stunt which he named ’Mubahala’... Since my rejoinder had bound down Mirza Tahir for a response and knowing it would be no easy matter, I allowed him a comfortably long period of four months, i.e. till January 1, 1989. Despite my let-

up, he failed to meet the date because he stood in a quagmire. Confused, non-pulsed and check-mated he had no ground to move backward or forward and no room to wheel about... At last, the Qadiani Secretary managed to muster himself up to write out some sort of reply. Actually, this was a work of hardly five minutes for the Qadiani secretary, but Allah, the Exalted wanted to expose Qadiani infamy and effrontery and therefore a five minute work took more then four months... In my humble opinion, Mirza Tahir will not dare take up this renewed call-out of mine. Rather, he would not have the grace to respond even... Because you are a run-away from Pakistan, therefore as a fugitive, I do see your point in hesitating to return. All right, I make a change. Go ahead and announce a date, place and time in London itself. This humble faqir will, Insha Allah, present himself over there along with his associates. But in case you are afraid to go to London and don’t want to step outside your Caliphate parameter, I concede further; All right, let us meet in your ’London Islamabad’ precincts.” - Maulana Muhammad Yusuf Ludhianvi in A Final Redjoiner to Mirza Tahir (Dated January 10, 1989) Unfortunately, Mirza Tahir chickened out on his own Mubahala challenge! One pathetic excuse an Ahmadi gave me is that they did not accept “our conditions” (the Jamaat’s conditions) for Mubahala. He showed me towards the back of the Challenge and bragged how Mirza Tahir’s signature was there on the “FIRST PARTY” Section and asked me to produce one opponent of Ahmadiyyat or “SECOND PARTY” who signed this Challenge. I feel sorry for this Ahmadi who has been tricked into what Al Hafiz B.A. Masri referred to as a “cheap con game.” Mubahala is done on the disputed facts. If both sides agree on something, then what’s the point of Mubahala? Why would any reasonable person accept a Mubahala when many of the allegations are known to be false by both sides? It doesn’t make any sense. An Open Invitation to Mubahala was completely worthless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why, you ask??? Mirza Tahir was very clever in his wording of the Mubahala. He broke it up into to 2 Parts: A & B. Part A quotes Mirza Sahib’s 1906 book Haqeeqatul Wahi(The Nature of Revelation) inviting anyone who does not accept Mirza Sahib’s claims to Mubahala. Part B is a laundry list of false allegations made against the Jamaat. The most important “false allegation” or “disputed fact” “That Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a liar in his claims to Messiahship, Mahdihood, and Prophethood.” was left out of Part B of the Mubahala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Instead of including the above statement in a simple clear cut language, Mirza Tahir “beat around the bush” and worded it very cleverly. “That having studied the history of all the false claimants, he willfully proclaimed himself to be a prophet whereas God had never commissioned him for anything.” (An Open Invitation to Mubahala, Page 3) Let us remember those dreaded test questions from Grade School: True/False Questions. A statement is False if any one part of the statement is False. A statement is True if and only if the whole statement is True.

The above statement from An Open Invitation to Mubahala is false, regardless of whether Mirza Sahib is a true prophet or not. Any person who does not accept Mirza Sahib’s claim still believes that that statement is a false statement. It is simply impossible to study the history of all the false claimants. Sadly, Mirza Tahir did not even himself believe that his grandfather was a true prophet. Fortunately, the Holy Quran repeatedly warns us about people like Mirza Tahir. “When the Hypocrites come to thee and say, ’We bear witness that thou art the Messenger of Allah.’ Yea, Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His Messenger, and Allah beareth witness that the Hypocrites are indeed deceitful.” - The Holy Quran, (63:1) 8.4) Strike 2 - Falsely Claiming Victory to Mubahala Click for Table of Contents “Come, let us gather together - our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: then let us earnestly pray and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie.” - The Holy Quran, (3:61), Yusuf Ali Translation Imagine you and your friend are both football fans. You like Team A, and your friend does not. All throughout the regular season your friend bashes Team A, uses abusive language against their players, etc. Nevertheless, Team A makes the playoffs. You offer you friend to make a bet for X number of dollars that Team A will win the Super Bowl and if any other team wins, then he wins the bet. Your friend ignores your request. The playoffs continue and even though your Team A keeps on winning, your friend still abuses your Team A while ignoring your request to participate in your proposed bet. As time goes on, Team A is now in the Super Bowl. You now tell your friend that due to his actions, he is now included in this bet whether he chooses to be or not. Then, when Team A wins the Super Bowl you demand payment from your friend for X number of dollars due to him “losing the bet.” Does this make any sense? “Come, let us call our sons and your sons, and our women and your women and our people and your people; then let us pray fervently and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie.” - The Holy Quran, (3:62), Ahmadi Translation Mubahala is a Two Way Street. Both Parties have to Accept. Simply put, Zia-ul Haq did not accept. “The Mubahla challenge was sent to him(Zia), but he kept silent about it.” (The Promised Messiah and Mahdi, Page 140) How could Zia’s death be the result of a Mubahala which he never accepted? Another question you really need to ask yourself very carefully is whether there is any truth in the following statement: “... this pir from Gujjo(Syed Abdul Hafeez Shah), despite his numerous allegations against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has not the courage to accept the fourth Caliph, Hadhrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad’s straightforward Mubahala invitation.” (Three In One, Page 190)

Would any Qadiani care to define the word “straightforward?” Would any Ahmadi care to explain in words how Mirza Tahir’s challenge was “straightforward?” One Ahmadi mentioned to me, “Mubahala is not a joke.” I agree with him completely! What do you think the following letter to Mirza Tahir by Iqbal Ahmed implies?

Attn: Mirza Tahir Ahmed Qadiani Amir Jamaat Ahmadiyya & Self appointed 4th Khalifa 16-18 Gressenhall Road London SW18 5QL

Mr. Mirza Tahir

Sub: News Item in Nida International about ;the death of Iqbal Ahmed The Cartoonist of Anti Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam.

I have taken a very serious note of a news item that appeared in one of your Jamat’s publication about my death. The said magazine states:

“A few years ago Dr. Iqbal translated the book called 'Two in One' written by Syed Abdul Hafeez Shah of Thatta Pakistan, from English into Arabic (The Translation from Urdu to English has been done by one of his colleagues, Dr. Syed Rashid Ali). This book uses very filthy and impertinent language about the founder of Ahmadiyya Community, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian ... Dr. Iqbal Muhammad also added several cartoons and displayed his pride by autographing them with ‘Iqbal” on every cartoon ... Almighty Allah showed a powerful sign on that day by causing Dr. Iqbal to die a despicable death …. The MIGHTY SIGN WHICH ALLAH MANIFESTED IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSLATOR OF THE BOOK “TWO IN ONE" IS A CLEAR SIGN OF SUCCESS IN THE MUBAHILA.” (Al Nida International March 1998)

In your desparate attempt to somehow show to your public that you have won the challenge of Mubahila 1998, you have intentionally and deliberately misinformed the public through your said newspaper. I am the cartoonist Iqbal Ahmed who had made all those cartoons in Two in One and in all other publications of Anti Ahmadiyya Movement. You have published in the news item that the caricaturist, that is me, is dead and that this death has come to me as a providential punishment for publishing Mirza’s Cartoons.

For your information let me point out to you that by the Grace of Allah till this date I am very much alive and well and till the day I will live, Inshallah I will continue with my mission of portraying Mirza Ghulam A. Qadiani, the Liar’s life in my caricatures.

“Those who accepted this Mubahla challenge among the opponents of the Ahmadiyya Movement and declared it in their public statements, suffered dire consequences. Some died untimely death and others suffered punishment and disgrace of various kinds. The Mubahla was for a period of one year and we cannot relate all the incidents which occurred as a result, but will only give the example of General Zia-ul-Haq, former President of Pakistan.” (The Promised Messiah and Mahdi, Page 140) That is an absolute lie! 3 examples were given in this booklet of people who accepted the challenge, and then it was Mirza Tahir who backed out! Who are these people that “declared it in their public statements” who “suffered dire consequences”? In fact, the only example the Jamaat can cite is the example of someone who did not even accept the Challenge! The truth actually lies somewhere close to the following statement: “The Qadiani leadership boasts that they have been challenging Muslims to Mubahala for years and that no Muslim has dared to come forth and accept their challenge! Since they have verbally extended the challenge of Mubahala to all Muslims and Islamic countries, they are quick to claim any death or calamity befalling a Muslim to be the result of their Mubahala and an indication of divine judgment in their favor!... The Qadiani leadership would like everyone to believe they are eager to participate in a Mubahala, when in reality they have been avoiding every challenge made to them for decades. Their pretentious and cunning strategy of challenging everyone and everything to Mubahala, while refusing to actually participate in such a venue is a testimony to their utter disregard of Quranic instructions: they are cunning in their attempt to avoid Quranic Mubahala to spare their dynasty from the curse of Allah(SWT)” - Idara Dawat-o-Irshad “They(Hypocrites) have made their oaths a screen (for their misdeeds): thus they obstruct(men) from the Path of Allah: truly evil are their deeds.” - The Holy Quran, (63:2) Come to your own unbiased conclusion on who has turned Mubahala into a joke? 8.5) Who won the Mubahala when Both Sides Actually Agreed to it? For 11 years, Mirza Tahir ran away from Mubahala. Constantly people challenged him, but he ignored it. However, it is a fact that in 1999 a Mubahala was officially accepted by two parties: Mirza Tahir, the Head of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam vs. Illias Suttar, the “Karachi ka Jaahil” and “Lalloo Panjoo” “In Karachi a JAAHIL (illiterate) has dared to do Mubahila...I am the Head of all the Jamaats worldwide and this is not my job that any Tom, Dick and Harry who challenges for Mubahila,...I HAVE ACCEPTED THIS CHALLENGE OF MUBAHILA ...... I AM SAYING THIS THING OPENLY IN FRONT OF YOU THAT ONLY THIS ONE YEAR THE PERSON WHO IS DOING MUBAHILA WILL BE PROVEN A LIAR.” - Mirza Tahir in 1999 U.K. Jalsa Salana speech

Further details including the videotape of the above quote, a scanned image of the English agreement signed by 3 witnesses from both sides can be viewed on <http://www.can-you-answer.com/mobahilla.htm>. I only wish that the arrogant and cocky Mirza Tahir was alive today so I could ask him for his definition of a “Tom, Dick, and Harry” versus a legitimate candidate for Mubahala. If someone that has probably read many of Mirza Sahib’s books(probably multiple times if he was able to pick out such a specific technicality in the Main Article of Can Ahmadis Answer) and does not believe in Mirza Sahib’s claims is just a “Tom, Dick, and Harry”, then what is the profile of a legitimate candidate for Mubahala? Dr. Syed Rashid Ali stated: After so many years of challenging and counter challenging of Mubahila by the opponents of Ahmadiyyat and two attempts at Hoax-sitting-at-home-Mubahila in 1988 and 1998 by Mirza Tahir, first time in the history of Ahmadiyyat Khalifa has authorised someone to accept face (to) face Mubahila on his behalf and sign it in front of witnesses. Do some investigative research to find out who won this Mubahala. Who was cursed? Who was proven to be the liar? A good place to start is by investigating whether Mirza Tahir suffered an attack of paralysis less than 30 days after accepting the Mubahala. Otherwise, what happened to Mirza Tahir when he was giving a Jumuah sermon in Norway in August of 1999 and “all of a sudden got sick”? How coincidental was it that he “all of a sudden got sick” right after accepting a Mubahala challenge! However, to be fair you have to read the Jamaat’s side of the story regarding this Mubahala. Oh wait a minute. There’s just one problem I forgot to tell you about. Good luck finding much!!!! Illias Suttar gave the following analysis: As per Mubahala agreement, the Ahmedis/Qadianis were supposed to announce the Mubahala agreement in magazine in London. On 20th August, 1999 the news of Mubahala was FIRST TIME printed in Al-Fazl London. On the same day i.e. 20th August, 1999 Mirza Tahir’s tongue failed to deliver the Friday sermon. Nobody could understand what he was speaking. He was rushed from the prayer hall of Norway to the hospital of London. DIVINE PUNISHMENT TOOK PLACE WITHIN HOURS INSTEAD OF ONE YEAR AGREED PERIOD. 8.6) Khilafat Ahmadiyya: A Seat to ... ? Keeping in mind that the Mubahala with Illias became operative in 1999 compare the Jamaat’s cumulative numbers and conversion statistics in 1999 versus 2004.

Sure, I guess you can say that the Ahmadi Khalifa is “divinely guided.” But to where???? I hope that you do not want to end up in the same place. “Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers and prepared for them a Blazing Fire - to dwell therein forever: no protector will they find, nor helper. The Day that their faces will be turned upside down in the Fire, they will say: ’Woe to us! would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!’ And they would say: ’Our Lord! We obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us as to the (right) path.’ ” - The Holy Quran, (33:64-67) As the old saying goes, “Liar Liar, Pants on Fire.”

Chapter 9: Exposing the Ahmadiyya Fraud Against Islam

9.1) Chapter Introduction Click for Table of Contents This chapter further emphasizes the theme that Ahmadiyyat is a Fraud against Islam, and has nothing to do with Islam. 9.2) Exposing Qadiani Fraudulent Interpretations of the Holy Quran 9.2.1 - Does the Quran foretell the coming of Mirza Sahib? “As well as (to confer all these benefits upon) others of them, who have not already joined them: and He is Exalted in Might, Wise.” - The Holy Quran, (62:3), Yusuf Ali Translation “Others of them: refers to other persons or peoples who may be ignorant other than those among whom the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) came as a messenger... for his Arab people and his non-Arab contemporaries as well as those who live in other ages, and have no personal contact with him or his Companions.” - Yusuf Ali Commentary “And among others from among them who have not yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise.” - The Holy Quran, (62:4), Ahmadi Translation “The reference in the verse and in a well-known saying of the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) is to the Second Advent of the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) in the person of the Promised Messiah in the Latter Days.” - Ahmadi Commentary (Volume 5 of 5, Page 2627; Short Commentary Page 1136) I don’t know what you are thinking but that seems to be a pretty huge claim to make; to say that the verse was referring to Mirza Sahib. Let’s examine the saying that they are referring to: When the verse was revealed, Abu Hurairah stated, “Who are they, O Allah’s Messenger?” The Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) did not reply till he repeated the question thrice. At that time Salman Al-

Farisi(a Persian) was sitting with them. The Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) put his hand on Salman, saying, “If faith were at (the place of) Ath-Thuraiyya (the highest star), even then (some men or man) from these people(i.e. Salman’s folk) would have taken it.” (Sahih Bukhari #4897) Let’s think of the Persian empire at the time. It was not under Islamic rule. After the death of the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) it would fall under Islamic rule and the people would become Muslims. This verse could have been meant for them. It also could have been meant for any Persian Saint that would reform the faith. It’s a big claim to say that he was referring specifically to Mirza Sahib, just because Mirza Sahib was also of Persian descent. Now, if this verse was truly revealed for Mirza Sahib, let’s examine something else. Remember, that Mirza Sahib is also according to Ahmadi belief the “Son of Mary” that the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) refers to in Ahadith. Do you see any connection between this hadith and the Ahadith regarding the “Son of Mary”? I don’t know about you, but I simply do not see any connection whatsoever between this hadith and the Ahadith referring to the “Son of Mary.” If this verse was really revealed for the “Son of Mary”, then why didn’t Muhamamad(peace be upon him) say so? Why did he forget to mention that the “Son of Mary” would be of Persian descent? 9.2.2 - Does the Quran imply that More Prophets can come? “All who obey Allah and the Messenger are in the Company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah - Of the Prophets(who teach), the Sincere(lovers of Truth), the Witnesses(who testify), and the Righteous(who do good): Ah! what a beautiful Fellowship.” - The Holy Quran, (4:69), Yusuf Ali Translation “And whose obeys Allah and this Messenger of His shall be among those on whom Allah has bestowed His blessings, namely, the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And excellent companions are these.” - The Holy Quran, (4:70), Ahmadi Translation From these verses it is clear that there are 4 spiritual ranks that one(meaning for all times) can achieve. These are 4 groups of people on who AllahSWT has bestowed his Grace and Blessings, and if you follow the Messenger, you will be rewarded like these people are. It does not imply that there will necessarily be more or no more prophets(or any type of rank for that matter) in the future. It just says if you obey the Messenger, then you will be in the company of those that are rewarded with Grace and Blessings, and that company includes the Prophets(Noah, Jonah, Moses, etc., peace be upon them). What’s really sad is how the Ahmadi Translation tries to take advantage of a very minor difference in words to make another blatantly false claim. “And those who believe in Allah and His Messengers they are the Sincere(Lovers of Truth) and the Witnesses(who testify), in the eyes of their Lord: they shall have their Reward and their Light. But those who reject Allah and deny Our Signs - they are the Companions of the Hell-Fire.” - The Holy Quran, (57:19), Yusuf Ali Translation

“And those who believe in Allah and His Messengers and they are the truthful and the Witnesses in the sight of their lord, they will have their reward and their light. But as for those who disbelieve and reject Our Signs, these are the inmates of Hell.” - The Holy Quran, (57:20), Ahmadi Translation “When read together these two verses purport to mean that whereas the followers of other Prophets could only rise to the rank of the Truthful and the Martyrs, and no higher, the followers of the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) can achieve even higher ranks; they can rise to the rank of Prophet also.” - Ahmadi Commentary (Volume 2 of 5, Page 537; Short Commentary Pages 203-204)

Figure 8: Scanned Image of Page 537 of 5 Volume Qadiani Quran Translation/Commentary That is absolutely false! In fact, the exact opposite is true.

Followers of Prophet Moses(peace be upon him) did attain the rank of Prophet. “The Israelites were ruled and guided by prophets. When a prophet passed away, another prophet succeeded him. There will be no prophet after me, but there will be caliphs who will increase in number.” (Sahih Bukhari #3455) 9.3) Exposing Qadiani Fraudulent Interpretations of Ahadith 9.3.1 - The Fraud of the “73 Sects” Click for Table of Contents Abdullah bin Amar relates that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “... Verily the Israelites were divided into 72 sections but my people will be divided into 73 sections, all of them will be in the fire except one.” The companions asked, “Who are they O Messenger of Allah,” Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “They are those who will be like me and my companions.” <http://www.alislam.org/library/links/73-02.html> The Jamaat further states, “Having said that we have to understand that there ought to be a way to separate one Jamaat from 72. Thus there should be some method by which two sets of sections among Muslim Ummah will be formed and in one set there will be only one Jamaat (to which Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, referred to as resembling him and his companions) while the other set will contain 72 sects which will resemble Jews. To go any further we have to establish here three things. Firstly that there were at one time 73 sections of Muslims. Secondly they formed two sets on containing one Jamaat and the other one containing 72 sects. Thirdly the set containing one Jamaat consisted of the followers of a claimant of Messiahship ... Although they all had fatwas declaring one another to be kafirs, when it came to the question of Ahmadi Muslims they were all united so that there remains no doubt as to the identity of 72 and one making a total of 73.” <http://www.alislam.org/library/links/73-04.html> Due to a minor technicality, the above analysis is completely worthless. Simply put, when Ahmadis were declared Non-Muslims, it was not 72 against 1, although it might seem that way to most people. It was actually 72 against 2 because there is also the Lahori Ahmadi sect(who were also declared Non-Muslims). If you asked a bunch of Sunnis which one of the “72 sects” they belonged to, many of them would probably would have no idea or tell you that they do not associate with any “sect.” However, if you asked a bunch of Ahmadis if they were Lahori or Qadiani, they would most definitely be able to tell you. Therefore, Lahoris(Ahmadiyya Anjumaan Isha’at-e-Islam Lahore) and Qadianis(Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam) do not count as 1 sect, but 2. So technically, there were 74 sects not 73. At the time, there were 72 sects of “Non-Ahmadi Muslims” and 2 sects of “Ahmadi Muslims.” You cannot count the 2 sects of “Ahmadi Muslims”(because they are followers of the “Promised Messiah”) as 1, otherwise by that logic you have to count the 72 sects of “Non-Ahmadi Muslims”(people that do not follow the “Promised Messiah”) all as 1 sect, and in that case there are only 2 sects. Therefore, this prophecy was not literally fulfilled as they claim it was. A really funny response I got from an Ahmadi trying to refute my argument is “You take everything too literally.” It is kind of ironic because the fact is that it says on their website “Literal Fulfillment of Prophecy.” How else is a reasonable person supposed to interpret this? Actually, I do not take this hadith literally at all. You just might be one of those poor innocent brainwashed Ahmadis who just listens and agrees with everything the Jamaat tells you. In that case, I’m pretty sure that when this prophecy was claimed that you did not check the Jamaat’s references. Why would you? You’re a loyal servant and slave to Ahmadiyyat. Why would you even think about questioning the lies that the Jamaat has been feeding you?

Well, let’s find out why. The Jamaat states, “Other than Tirmidhi, Ibne Maja [3] gives three independent narrations of the same hadith.” <http://www.alislam.org/library/links/73-03.html> Let’s take a closer look at these “three independent narrations of the same hadith.” Abu Huraira reported that Allah’s Messenger(peace be upon him) said, “The Jews were divided into 71 sections and my umma will be divided into 73 sections.” (Sunan Ibn-i-Majah #3991) Auf b. Malik reported that Allah’s Messenger(peace be upon him) said, “The Jews were divided into 71 parts but only one part will be in the Paradise and 70 parts will be in the Fire; the Christians were divided into 72 parts (out of which) 71 parts will (enter) in Fire and only one part(will be admitted) in the Heaven. By Him whose Hand Muhammad’s life (lies), my umma will certainly be divided into 73 section. Only one section will be (admitted) in the Heaven and 72 sections will be in the Fire.” He was asked, “Allah’s Messenger, who of them are in the Heaven.” He said, “Al - Jamaa” (Equivalent to “They are those who will be like me and my Companions”) (Sunan Ibn-i-Majah #3992) Anas B. Malik reported that Allah’s Messenger(peace be upon him) said, “Verily the Israelites were divided in 71 sections and my umma will certainly be divided into 72 sections. All of them will be in the fire with the exclusion of one and that is Al-Jamaa.” (Sunan Ibn-i-Majah #3993) There are certain Ahadith in which the narrations vary slightly, but it is pretty obvious that each narration points to the same incident, so even though the narrations might vary slightly, it is “the same hadith.” There are other Ahadith which show up multiple times and whereas all of the narrations may not be from the same incident, they are “the same hadith” because their message is identical. It is very clear that #3991 and #3992 do not point to the same incident nor is their message identical, therefore you cannot call them “the same hadith.” #3991 simply states that the Jews and Muslims will be divided whereas #3992 includes Christians and goes into the details of who out of each group will enter paradise. Two other things are of important note. 1) In each of the three Ahadith of Sunan Ibn-i-Majah he refers to the Jews being divided into 71 sects, not 72(which was the actual number of tribes that the Jews were divided into according to the Jamaat.) 2) In #3991 and #3992, the Muslims will be divided into 73 sects, whereas in #3993, the Muslims will be divided in 72 sects. So why did the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) give different numbers? Or did some of the narrators misquote him? We will never really know. Anyway you look at it; the specific number: 71, 72, or 73 cannot be taken literally. I believe what the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) meant when he said this was that the 71 or 72 sections that would “be in the fire” was referring to all of the Muslim sects who think that they are the only ones that are correct, who fight amongst other Muslim sects for minor and pity reasons, calling other Muslims “Kaffir,”

etc. Whereas that 72rd or 73rd “section” is actually metaphor for those Muslims who do not associate with one sect or another, but rather remain simple Muslims: “Al-Jamaa” or “They are those who will be like me and my companions.” The companions of the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) did not associate with any “sect” and neither should you. Whether you choose to follow the Sunni or Shi’te ideology, you should not associate or think that one sect is better than another: just be a simple Muslim. 9.3.2 - The Fraud of “Prophets and Mosques” “I am the last of the prophets and my mosque is the last of the mosques.” In Invitation to Ahmadiyyat, Mirza Mahmud argues that it would be unreasonable to believe that the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) literally meant that his mosque in Medina was the last of all mosques meaning there should be no more mosques built after his death. Therefore, he could not have literally meant that he was the last of the prophets. This would imply that in any of the other multiple Ahadith in which the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) claims to be the last prophet, he did not literally mean it. This seems far-fetched. The correct interpretation of this hadith is done by Dr. Ahmad Shafaat in The Last of the Prophets and also in Imam Abdul Hamid Siddiqi’s commentary of Sahih Muslim. Let us view the hadith from the beginning: Abu Huraira used to say that one prayer performed in the Allah’s Messengers Mosque (in Medina) is more blessed than a thousand prayers performed in other mosques except Masjid Al-Haram(Sacred Mosque in Makkah). Allah’s Messenger is the last of the prophets and his mosque is the last of the mosques... “I am the last of the prophets and my mosque is the last of the mosques.” (Sahih Muslim #1394R2, Kitab-ul-Hajj) Therefore, the correct way to interpret the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) is, “I am the last of the prophets and my mosque is the last of the mosques(built by prophets).” Dr. Shafaat further states, “The tradition has in view three mosques: the Sacred Mosque in Makkah (connected with Abraham), the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem (connected with the Israelite figures), the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina. The third of these mosques is the last because the Prophet is the last prophet. Ahmadis, followers of one of the claimants of prophethood, say that just as ’the last mosque’ does not mean that there were no mosques built after the mosque of Medina, similarly ’the last prophet’ does not mean that there will be no prophet after Muhammad. But then what does the word ’last’ mean? It is said that the word means something like ’most excellent’. But this meaning will not apply to ’the last mosque’ because the Prophet’s mosque in Medina is not the most excellent, the sacred mosque in Makkah is.” “Do not set out on a journey except for three mosques i.e. Masjid Al-Haram(in Makkah), Masjid Ar-Rasul(in Medina) and Masjid Al-Aqsa(in Jerusalem).” (Sahih Bukhari #1189) By “last of the mosques” he meant last of the three special mosques that were built by prophets. “One prayer in my mosque is better than one thousand prayers in any other mosque except Masjid Al-Haram.” (Sahih Bukhari #1190) 9.3.3 - There’s Something About Eclipses One of the prophecies the Jamaat claims was fulfilled has something to do with eclipses. You can read about The Advent of the Promised Mahdi and the lunar and solar eclipses on <http://www.alislam.org/library/sign.html>.

Then, following the usual good practice that a rational unbiased person seeking the truth does, read the opposing side of the story The Fraud of Eclipses on <http://www.irshad.org/exposed/eclipse.php>. 9.4) Exposing Lies in Ahmadi Literature Click for Table of Contents 9.4.1 - Welcome to Ahmadiyyat, The True Islam OR “Welcome to Qadianism, A Fraud Against Islam”? “Non-Ahmadi Muslim’s Concept of the Advent of the Messiah....The first objective will be the destruction of the cross. Not figuratively, but literally!... There will not remain a single cross to be seen...extermination of swine of every variety - domestic as well as wild!” (Welcome to Ahmadiyyat, The True Islam, Page 276) Syed Abul Ala Maududi was a staunch opponent of Ahmadiyyat. In his 1962 book Finality of Prophethood, he explains the general Muslim belief. If one of the staunchest opponents of Ahmadiyyat in Pakistan did not believe the above, then who does???

The implication of "breaking the Cross" and "killing of the swine" is that Christianity will become defunct as a religion. The whole edifice of the Christian religion is based on the belief that God crucified His only son (i.e. Hadrat Isa (PBUH) on the Cross and caused him to suffer this 'accursed' death so that he might thus expiate for the sins of man. Among the followers of God's Prophets, the Christians are unique in having rejected the entire Shariah of God and retaining this belief only.

The swine has been declared unlawful by all the Prophets, but the Christians have gone as far as to make it lawful. Hence when Jesus(PBUH) will proclaim on his appearance, "I am not the son of God; I did not die on the Cross, nor did I expiate for the sins of anyone," the whole basis of Christian belief will be demolished. Similarly, the second distinctive charactertistic of Christianity will vanish when Jesus(PBUH) will say: "I never declared the swine lawful for my followers nor did I proclaim them free from the restraints of Divine Law."

(Finality of Prophethood, Page 49) or (Finality of Prophethood, Footnote 5) Muslims do not take “Breaking the Cross” and “Killing the Swine” literally as the Jamaat would like its gullible and brainwashed Ahmadis to believe. Naeem Osman Memon even references Maududi’s book in his 1989 book Ahmadiyyat or Qadianism! Islam or Apostasy? and in his 1994 book Three In One. I brought this point up in my debate with Mirza Afzal. I asked him to provide credible references to back the Jamaat’s claim about the alleged “Muslim belief.” I sent him multiple emails asking him to back it up and it has been over a three months now. As of 12/25/2004, he has refused to respond and not been able to produce one credible reference to support the Jamaat’s claim. 9.4.2 - What did Imam Bukhari believe? “I have mentioned in earlier books that Imam Bukhari... held exactly this belief that Jesus, on whom be peace, has, in fact, died.” (An Account of Exoneration, Page 19; Kitab-ul-Bariyya; Roohani Khazain, Volume 13)

Would any Ahmadi care to prove this? If this really was Imam Bukhari’s belief(whose book Sahih Bukhari Sunni Muslim scholars for ages have considered to be #2 or #3 to the Holy Quran) why did these Sunni Muslim scholars not hold this same belief? Why did they go against the belief of Imam Bukhari? 9.4.3 - Was the “Promised Messiah” supposed to come in the 14th Century? “It is mentioned in the True Traditions that the Promised Messiah will appear at the beginning of a century and will be a renewer for the fourteenth century.” (Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya, Volume 5; Roohani Khazain, Volume 21, Page 359) That is absolutely false! There is no hadith in any Sihah Sittah Book(Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, Jami At-Tirmidhi, Sunan Ibn-i-Majah, Sunan An-Nasai) nor in any of the other accepted books of Ahadith(such as Musnad Ahmad Bin Hanbal, Al-Muwatta, Sunan Ad-Darimee) that mentions anything about the “Promised Messiah” coming in the 14th century. Instead of being able to provide a solid hadith to back their claim, the Jamaat provides a laundry list of Ahadith trying to appear “smart and scholarly” knowing that their most of their brainwashed followers(who do not have a good understanding of Islam) will fall for anything. (The Muslim Sunrise, Issues 3-4, 2000, Pages 25-27) In fact, Jesus(peace be upon him) specifically left the timing of his return as a mystery: “The Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” - The Holy Bible, (Matthew 24:44, Luke 12:40), New International Version 9.4.4 - What Two Maladies? “It was foretold that the Promised One would suffer from two maladies, one in the upper part of his body, and the other in the lower...” (Ahmadiyyat or the True Islam, Page 13) Yeah Right!!!! By who???? Would any Ahmadi care to provide an authentic hadith supporting this? At the very least, would any Ahmadi care to even provide some sort of credible reference to prove this? 9.4.5 - Qadiani Arrogance towards Muslims Qadianis are very arrogant in their beliefs towards Muslims. As pointed out above in 9.3.1, their belief is that they are the one true Muslim sect, and that the entire Muslim Ummah is headed for the Hell-Fire.

Figure 9: Image from Qadiani Official Homepage However, this is actually a typical characteristic of cults. “Most cults bind their converts by the lie that they alone have the truth and, therefore, they are the only true people of God... Once the cultist buys the lie that ’we’ alone are right and all others are wrong, spiritual pride and arrogance set in quickly.” (The AntiChrist Rising, Page 53, by Ed Hindson) As implied above, some of them are also very arrogant in thinking that their cult is invincible. One Qadiani boasted to me in an email: Trust me, if the whole world were to unite against Ahmadiyyat, God would humiliate the whole world.

“We would like to remind the leaders of enemies of the Ahmadiyya Community that they should study and reflect upon the history of the Founder of Ahmadiyya Jamaat and the latter history of the Movement. Any opponent who exceeded all and set out to destroy the Ahmadiyya Movement or its Founder, utterly failed in his designs. He was simply swept away by history, forgotten and disgraced.” (The Promised Messiah and Mahdi, Page 141) The bolded statements are false. 4 examples to prove otherwise. 1) Syed Abul Ala Maududi(1903 - 1979) was a staunch opponent of Ahmadiyyat who had been campaigning for Qadianis to be declared Non-Muslim possibly as early as 1938. Eventually, Ahmadis were declared Non-Muslims in 1974 during his lifetime and all of his effort paid off. Imagine how happy he must have felt when that decision was passed down! The party that he founded(Jamaat-e-Islami) was an integral force behind that decision. In 1953, when he was sentenced to death by the martial law authorities on the charge of writing a seditious pamphlet on the Qadyani problem, he resolutely turned down the opportunity to file a petition for mercy. He cheerfully expressed his preference for death to seeking clemency from those who wanted, altogether unjustly, to hang him for upholding the right. With unshakeable faith that life and death lie solely in the hands of Allah, he told his son as well as his colleagues: "If the time of my death has come, no one can keep me from it; and if it has not come, they cannot send me to the gallows even if they hang themselves upside down in trying to do so." His family also declined to make any appeal for mercy. His firmness astonished the government which was forced, under strong public pressure both from within and without, to commute the death sentence to life imprisonment and then to cancel it. Maulana Maududi has written over 120 books and pamphlets and made over a 1000 speeches and press statements of which about 700 are available on record... The influence of Maulana Maududi is not confined to those associated with the Jamaat-e-Islami. His influence transcends the boundaries of parties and organisations. Maududi is very much like a father-figure for Muslims all over the world. As a scholar and writer, he is the most widely read Muslim writer of our time. His books have been translated into most of the major languages of the world (Arabic, English, Turkish, Persian, Hindi, French, German, Swahili, Tamil, Bengali, etc.) and are now increasingly becoming available in many more of the Asian, African and European languages. (Reference: <http://www.abulala.com/shortbio.asp>) While Maulana Maududi is remembered and respected by Muslims all around the world, Mirza Mahmud, Mirza Nasir, and Mirza Tahir are remembered by Muslims either as Kuffar or Nobodys. Who did God really disgrace? 2) Syed Abdul Hafeez Shah(1912 - 2003) was the founder of the “Anti Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam” which has no doubt done great harm to the Jamaat. “It was during one of his travels, in 1988, that a copy of the challenge of Mubahila by Mirza Tahir Ahmad, the leader of Qadaini community, was given to him. What infuriated him most was the way Mirza Tahir addressed the entire Muslim Ummah as Kafir and Liars. He decided to take up the challenge. Since then he has been spearheading the Anti Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam... By the Grace of Allah, Anti Ahmadiyya Movement has achieved remarkable and its literature is being distributed in various parts of the Globe in several languages, thanks to our team of volanteers. AlHamdollilah, we are free from any obligations to any Governmental and non-Governmental links and have managed the show without any financial assistance.”

(Reference: <http://alhafeez.org/rashid/hafeez.htm>) A 76 year old man responded to the Mubahala Challenge of the 60 year old Mirza Tahir and offered to come to London. Unfortunately, as we all know Mirza Tahir chickened out. He then wrote a book called Two In One in the early 1990’s. Naeem Osman Memon wrote Three In One as a response in 1994 calling Syed Abdul Hafeez Shah an “Enemy, Disbeliever, and Liar.” Shortly afterwards, Naeem Osman Memon died. It appears that he did not even reach the age of 50. Syed Abdul Hafeez Shah lived to the old age of 91(outliving Mirza Tahir by a couple of months). I wonder who was disgraced. Don’t you? I do not think Syed Abdul Hafeez Shah was a failure at all. He succeeded in starting an awareness movement that will continue to haunt the Jamaat and guide more Ahmadis to Islam(as it did with me) until the Jamaat collapses. 3) Illias Suttar participated in a Mubahala contest with Mirza Tahir. Hopefully, the winner of this contest is very clear to you. “Mirza Tahir Ahmed also did not announce the acceptance of Mubahala from his drawing room but in the presence of 18500 witnesses in Jalsa watched on T.V. By The Grace Of ALLAH the announcement is preserved in audio, video and CD, and will remain a proof at the disposal of generation after generation.” Yes, the Jamaat technically still exists today. However, the efforts of the above people have no doubt contributed significantly to the eventual fall of Qadianism. When the structure actually collapses, I don’t know. That is up to AllahSWT. 9.5) Exposing Qadiani Blasphemy against the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) 9.5.1 - Contradictions in Qadiani Beliefs Click for Table of Contents They seem to contradict their own interpretation of “Seal of the Prophets.” One one hand they refer to the Muhammad(peace be upon him) being the greatest of all the prophets implying that sub-ordinate prophets who will have his “Stamp” can come after him. Yet in their Commentary of Surah Al-Jumuah they refer to him as having “Two Advents.”

Figure 10: Scanned Image of Page 2627 of 5 Volume Qadiani Quran Translation/Commentary Could an Ahmadi please show me one hadith in which Muhammad(peace be upon him) said he was going to have a “Second Advent”? Where does this conclusion arise from? Did he ever state that the “Son of Mary” would actually be a “Second Advent” of himself?

Doesn’t him having a “Second Advent” imply that Mirza Sahib is equal in rank to Muhammad(peace be upon him)? “Whoever tells a lie against me intentionally then let him occupy his seat in Hell-Fire.” (Sahih Bukhari #107 - 110) 9.5.2 - What is the true Ahmadi meaning of the Kalima? “But, after the mission of the Promised Messiah, one more messenger has entered into the meaning of ’Muhammad Rasulullah.’ Therefore, on account of the incarnation of the Promised Messiah, the Kalimah ’La Ilaha Ellallah, Muhammad Rasulullah’ does not become abolished; it rather shines more brightly. In short, the same Kalimah is effective even now for embracing Islam, with the only difference that the incarnation of the Promised Messiah (Mirza Sahib) has added one more messenger to the meaning of ’Muhammad Rasulullah’ ” (Kalimat-ul-Fasl, Page 158)

Figure 11: Scanned Image of Page 158 from Qadiani Discontinued Book Kalimat-ul-Fasl The author, Mirza Bashir, a.k.a. “Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad” was Mirza Sahib’s 2nd son from his 2nd wife and the younger brother of Mirza Mahmud. One excuse an Ahmadi might give you was that he was not the Khalifa so he does not speak for the Jamaat. Yes, but he was not an ordinary “Joe Shmoe” of the Jamaat either. This was “Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad razillah anho.” On <http://www.alislam.org/library/history/ahmadiyya/77.html>, the Jamaat states that he was a “lifetime advisor” to Mirza Mahmud. Therefore, the Jamaat must have agreed with his belief, otherwise they should not have given him such a praise and respected status. And if they did not, did they ever issue an official statement or publication correcting the belief? Who wants to be part of a movement that respects and honors someone who has misinterpreted the meaning of the Kalima, something we as Muslims hold so dear and fundamental? One Ahmadi trying to defend the book accused me of “not understanding the essence” of the message? What essence? This is pretty binary. The charge is that when Ahmadis recite the Kalima, they include Mirza Sahib in the meaning of their Kalima. Either they do, or they do not. If they do, then my point is made. If they do not include him in the meaning of their Kalima then they are going against the teachings of “Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad razillah anho” the lifetime advisor of the “2nd Khalifa.”

Chapter 10: Conclusions

"And there are some people who say: ’We believe in Allah and the Last Day,’ and they are not believers.” - The Holy Quran, (2:8) Ahmadis claim to be Muslims. It is unanimously agreed that they are not Muslims. “When it is said to them: ’Believe as other people have believed,’ they say: ’Shall we believe as the fools have believed?’ Verily, it is surely they that are the fools but they do not know.” - The Holy Quran, (2:13) When you try to have a discussion with Qadianis pleading with them to believe in the Finality of Prophethood, that Muhammad(peace be upon him) is Last in Line of the Prophets, as Muslims believe and have believed for centuries, they will most likely accuse of you being a “fool” for this belief that Jesus(peace be upon him) was raised bodily to heaven. “So you believe that Jesus is alive in heaven? Ha ha ha!” - An Ahmadi This has been the belief of the majority of Muslim scholars for many centuries and is also the belief of all Christians(which currently account for the largest religion in the world with over a billion followers).

On the other hand, the Ahmadis are the ones that are actually the “fools” clinging on to this ridiculously absurd belief that Jesus went to India for 87 years after the incident of the Cross: a belief that has absolutely no scriptural basis, but is rather based on contradictory eastern legends and false traditions. But of course they are brainwashed by a cult, so they do not know. “Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers and prepared for them a Blazing Fire - to dwell therein forever: no protector will they find, nor helper.” - The Holy Quran, (33:64-65) Since Ahmadis were officially declared “Unbelievers” or Non-Muslims by a unanimous resolution of Muslim scholars passed in Mecca in 1974, this is the sad but unfortunate and harsh reality. The events of the past 30 years leave no doubt. “The Day that their faces will be turned upside down in the Fire, they will say: ’Woe to us! would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!’ ” - The Holy Quran, (33:66) When the Ahmadis are thrown into Hell, they will wish that they had obeyed the Messenger. Instead, Qadianis have flat out rejected the explicit instructions of 2 Messengers of AllahSWT. “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ’I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many... For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect - if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. So if anyone tells you, ’There he is, out in the desert,’ do not go out; or, ’Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man.” - The Holy Bible, (Matthew 24:4-5, Matthew 24:24-27), New International Version “In My Ummah there shall be born 30 Grand Liars, each of who will claim to be prophet, But I am the Last Prophet; there is No Prophet after Me.” (Abu Dawood Volume 2, Page 228; Tirmidhi Volume 2, Page 45) Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was not the first person from among the Muslims to claim to be prophet. And guess what? He probably won’t be the last. Simply put, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was one of those 30 Grand Liars. “And they would say: ’Our Lord! We obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us as to the (right) path.’ ” - The Holy Quran, (33:67) Ahmadis will give the excuse that they obeyed their Khalifas, Mirzas, and Missionaries who they thought were righteous and pious people. But this will not save them from the Hell-Fire. “ ’Our Lord! Give them Double Penalty and curse them with a very great Curse!’ ” - The Holy Quran, (33:68) Instead, the Qadianis will ask for their leaders who misled them to be doubly punished. We hope that this presentation might open up the hearts and minds of all misguided Ahmadis out of the Qadiani Cult and into Islam.

Allahumma arenal Haqqa haqqun war zuqnaa ittiba'a; wa arenal baatelaa batelun war zuqnaa ijtinaaba - O Allah! Show us the truth as truth and give us the pleasure/courage (hidayah) to follow it; and show us falsehood as falsehood and the hidayah to stay away from it. Ameen.
