The Revival of Pure Islam: 23rd March, 1889: Founding of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

Alislam.org: The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a dynamic, fast growing international revival movement within Islam. Founded in 1889, it spans over 200 countries with membership exceeding tens of millions. Its current headquarters are in the United Kingdom.

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the only Islamic organization to believe that the long-awaited Messiah has come in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) (1835-1908) of Qadian. Ahmad(as) claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus(as) of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad(sa). Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believes that God sent Ahmad(as), likeJesus(as), to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed and reinstitute morality, justice and peace. Ahmad’s(as) advent has brought about an unprecedented era of Islamic revival. He divested Islam of fanatical beliefs and practices by vigorously championing Islam’s true and essential teachings. He also recognized the noble teachings of the great religious founders and saints, including Zoroaster(as), Abraham(as), Moses(as),Jesus(as), Krishna(as), Buddha(as), Confucius(as), Lao Tzu and Guru Nanak, and explained how such teachings converged into the one true Islam.

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the leading Islamic organization to categorically reject terrorism in any form. Over a century ago, Ahmad(as)emphatically declared that an aggressive “jihad by the sword” has no place in Islam. In its place, he taught his followers to wage a bloodless, intellectual “jihad of the pen” to defend Islam. To this end, Ahmad(as) penned over 80 books and tens of thousands of letters, delivered hundreds of lectures, and engaged in scores of public debates. His rigorous and rational defenses of Islam unsettled conventional Muslim thinking. As part of its effort to revive Islam, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community continues to spread Ahmad’s(as)teachings of moderation and restraint in the face of bitter opposition from parts of the Muslim world.

Similarly, it is the only Islamic organization to endorse a separation of mosque and state. Over a century ago, Ahmad(as)  taught his followers to protect the sanctity of both religion and government by becoming righteous souls as well as loyal citizens. He cautioned against irrational interpretations of Quranic pronouncements and misapplications of Islamic law. He continually voiced his concerns over protecting the rights of God’s creatures. Today, it continues to be an advocate for universal human rights and protections for religious and other minorities. It champions the empowerment and education of women. Its members are among the most law-abiding, educated, and engaged Muslims in the world.

  1. Peaceful Working Solution of All problems of This Era
    ============================================
    Peace be on you..
    1==Through the processes of creation and guided-evolution–at-each-step, Allah made the universe and life. Hadhrat Adam, on whom be peace, was the first prophet, through him evolution of religion was started by Allah. Allah spoke with him and gave him essential teaching of living for his people. Hadhrat Adam forgot something, then Allah taught him some prayers, he repented. All these things were happening in this world.

    2== After him, Hadhrat Noah was sent, when he delivered divine message of One God and morals, rich people mocked at him, he was told by Allah to make a boat to survive the incoming flood.

    3== Prophets were sent in all nations with message worship One God, Allah, and establish human rights and do good and avoid evil.

    4==Kaba was the first ancient house of Allah, the symbolic place for unity. By divine commandment, Hadhrat Abraham and his son Hadhrat Ishmael rebuilt it And cleared it from idols with long struggle.

    5==God establishes His teaching and after sometimes, people forget it, the new prophet is sent and struggles again.

    6==Hadhrat Moses was sent to liberate people from the oppression of Pharoah. Eventually, they survived, they were given teaching of tit-for-tat to get out from the depression of long slavery. Eventually, they became powerful.

    7==When the time of power became long, they became hard-hearted, then Hadhrat Jesus was sent in them with emphasis on forgiveness. Opponents and Romans opposed him and announced sentence of putting him on the cross. A person would hang on a cross and die in some days. Governor’s wife was shown a dream that Jesus was innocent. Governor knew Jesus was innocent, he arranged cross in such a way Jesus should survive. When Jesus was put on cross, a storm came by divine decree, and he was taken off the cross, he was alive because when a soldier pierced arrow in his side, blood gushed out i.e. heart was pumping. His followers took him to a secret chamber and cured him for three days with ointment, later known as ‘jeusus’ ointment’.

    8==After healed, Jesus silently migrated from that area and headed to meet ‘lost sheep’ i.e. tribe of Israelites. On his way, he met disciples, at with them and showed his wounds, then he climbed a mountain area, some simple-minded person thought he was going up to the sky. Actually, Jesus came to low ground from another side! —- When troubled in one area, prophets migrate to other places. He did not go to the sky.

    9==Taking the route of Iran, Afghanistan, Punjab, Jesus went to Kashmir, all along he preached o Israelites. He preached successfully and died at age of 120 years, and is buried in Khanyar area of Srinagar.

    (Proofs from old historical, old medical records, Bible and Quran in online book ‘Jesus in India’ alislam org)

    10==Religious evolution was made complete by Allah in Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be on him, he was the last prophet with last Book Quran; he was also Chief and Seal of all Prophets; he came for all world and all people.

    11==Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, prophesied that his people will become weak in practice and Allah will send a reformer for revival. when explaining a verse of surah Jumua chapter 62, Quran, he placed his hand on companion Suleman Farsi and said faith will ascend o Pleides, a man or men from them will bring it back. (Bukhari) . He sa, also mentioned signs of such era; immoralities, new inventions, heavenly signs of lunar and solar eclipses in one month of Ramadan on specific dates, diseases, political and environmental conditions. He sa, said then, Allah will send the reformer for revival.

    12==Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, called this reformer, Jesus. Is he the previous Jesus?

    13==Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, mentioned two countenances under name Jesus; when he mentioned Jesus along with Moses, he said Jesus was of reddish color with curly hairs. when Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, mentioned Jesus along with anti-truth force dajjal, and Kaba, he mentioned Jesus as the man with a brownish color and straight hairs. (both ahadith in Bukhari)

    14==Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, when mentioned Jesus with respect to later days, he called ‘Jesus prophet of Allah’ (hadith in Sahih Muslim)

    15==So, in short, as seen from above, the man for later days reform in called Jesus but he is not original Jesus, and he is a prophet also, according to Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa. Thus, according to Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, a subordinate prophet for his service is not against his last-hood.

    16==Besides various weakness, some followers of Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, misunderstood philosophy of jihad. when Islam came, opponents tried o finish it wih sword, after suffering 13 years, Muslims were allowed self-defence. Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, called moral reforms as greatest jihad.

    17==In these times, opponents oppose Islam with the new method, i.e. using various philosophies and books and media. So appropriate defense is needed. That is why Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, gave name Jesus
    and Mahdi to the promised reformer. These are attributive names, word Jesus signifies softness and Mahdi signifies ‘guided by Allah.’

    18==Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, also mentioned five eras; his era, era in the precept of prophethood, two eras of hard kingship, and agian era in the precept of prophethood, then he became silent. (narrator Huziafah, Musnad Ahmad)

    19==Now it is fifth era, Khilafat of Promised Messiah, Mahdi is serving Islam with peaceful manner in 212 countries by the grace of Allah.

    20==Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, said when you find his promised servant (promised Messiah Mahdi) go to him, even if one has to crawl over snow, do his Bai’at (plegde of allegiance) (hadith, Ibne Majah) , and convey my salam to him. (Dur al-Manthur)

    21==All this proves the existence of God also, what He told Holy Prophet Muhammad, sa, has come true. All praises to Allah.
