The Truth Message – Part – 5.16:
Prophets & their Persecution… RELIGION DRIPS WITH BLOOD
Theoretically speaking Religion is a set of beliefs which includes spiritual knowledge, code of ethics and philosophy of life – all from the divine lord, so one would expect religion to enlightened man and civilize him, promote peace and establish unity amongst men… yet if you take even a cursory glance into history of religions: It is all stained red with blood of men!
To detail:
History of religion in any part of the world at any time is a tale of torture, repression, persecution, execution, crucifixion, etc.
It is thus very disappointing to find that religion, which is supposed to be the last refuge of peace in a world full of war and conflict, becomes a cause of destruction, disharmony and bloodshed.
A Point that is a MUST to be kept in mind & very well understood is that: Religion itself is never the real cause of this bloodshed, and it is a big mistake to think it so.
God did not make religion to encourage killing. And all prophets of God that were sent to different parts of this planet for all the varied religions were great reformers, and reformers as such have been coming since the beginning of time to guide us humans… we’ve seen their histories in detail earlier (If you have haven’t, please click to read them now: The Truth Message)

Prophets & their Persecution
Prophets have always appeared from the ordinary stock of human beings and have always been rejected and scorned by the disbelievers.
To define disbelievers:
While people who believe in a prophet are called believers, the people who disbelieve in a prophet are called disbelievers.
Believers believe in the prophet, accept his prophethood, follow his teachings and encourage others towards this truth …while the disbelievers reject the prophet, reject his prophethood, reject his teachings and persecute the believers and discourage others from following their path – Clear? I mean, did you understand? I hope you did.
Well, this scene is been played and replayed and repeated every time God sends any prophet to mankind.
Prophets down the ages have been mocked and abused by their contemporaries (36:30); titles given to them include being called “a Sorcerer”, “a liar” (40:25), “Mad Man” (15:7), “a fabricator” (16:102), “a fool” (7:66), etc. as said in the Holy Qur’an. (I’m sure you know more of them and many references could be found in the Testaments too!)
Well, this is exactly why Allah, the Almighty says in the Holy Qur’an:
Alas for My servants! there comes not a Messenger to them but they mock at him’. (Holy Quran 36:31)
Whenever a Prophet or Messenger comes to guide mankind…
No ceremonial arch is ever erected to welcome him.
No garlands are offered.
No lamps are lighted in joyous illumination.
On the contrary, those who came in the name of God were persecuted for committing this crime:
Their paths were strewn with thorns,
dust was heaped on their heads,
stones were thrown at them and
many were even subjected to be burnt in fire;
in fact every conceivable torture was inflicted on them.
If we study the lives of all prophets, one thing is common, that they were persecuted and prosecuted, mocked at, or rejected … let me give you few examples:
Imagine how Jesus (peace be upon him) was dragged through the streets & crucified by the Jews
OR
Think about Moses (peace be upon him) who was mocked at, and rejected by the Pharaoh of his time
OR
Think about Muhammad (peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) who was rejected by his people, heavily persecuted, driven out and attacked by the Meccans.
What happened with their followers? Well, if you look into the details you will know that they suffered a similar fate too!
Every conceivable torment was practiced on them:
They were dragged by their feet through rough alley-ways;
They were made to lie on burning sands under the sizzling Sun;
They were thrown on live coals and held there till the embers die down;
They were thrown out of their homes, driven into exiles, threatened with starvation and boycotted or put to the sword!
Every right that life bestowed was denied to them.
They were deprived of the right to announce their faith or to pray or to build prayer houses according to their beliefs.
Why the bloodshed then?
The Qur’an rightly points out very clearly to show that those who perpetuate brutality in the name of religion are either anti-religious (disbelievers) or people whose religion has been corrupted. There are, and have been, many so-called religious leaders who have no warmth, compassion, mercy or piety in them and we see people tortured in the name of God by them and others who do not have the faintest clue about God or his prophets or his teachings.
To be honest, those are hypocrites with a lust for power and cruelty is their ruling passion. It would be a great mistake to associate religion with the misdeeds of such men. As the Holy Qur’an says:
And you shall surely hear many hurtful things from those who were given the Book before you, and from those who set up equals to Allah. [A’L-E-IMRAN 3:187]
However, irrespective of all the above, all the divine religions ever emerged to be successful in the final analysis and, thus is man granted a new spiritual life. This is the path that leads to the Revival of Religion.
This is the phenomenon that we see at work in the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and in the life of every prophet before him and also after him. It is by treading this perilous path that the prophets have ever revived their peoples / generations. This is the philosophy of the revival of religions seen since the days of Adam to the days of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw).
It is the practice of God Almighty seen from the time of creation of man on this earth to this day. And another important point of note is that: He helps His messengers and grants them ascendancy. Allah hath decreed:
kataballahu la’aghlebanna ana wa rusulee
Most surely I will prevail, I and My Messengers. (58:22)
This is the process of religious revival that the Qur’an and the Scriptures reveal – All prophets-from Adam to the Holy Prophet Muhammad-went through these stages.
In religious account God’s love for Adam (on whom be peace) caused Satan to declare war with him and this enmity is recorded since the beginning of time, in the era of each Prophet of God and indeed is still being repeated.
These prophets of God gave their people new life by reciting to them God’s signs and teaching them the way of life from the book of commandments and granting them wisdom and thus purifying them. They taught the right ways to worship, values of humanity, goodness, etc… It is this revolutionary spirit which breathes life into spiritually dead humans and it so often heard: The Prophet Awakend the dead!
How about the followers of the Promised Messiah?
After reading all of the above did you think that Allah, the Almighty has decided to change this inviolable and time-honoured practice for the Promised Messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani??
Did you think that the Promised Messiah Mirza Ghulam Ahmad who came as the reformer of ALL RELIGIONS will be accepted all over the world by all faiths and will inherit the earth (as prophesied about the promised messiah) without shedding a drop of blood and without making a stroke of effort, as expected by few Muslim clergy? Could you believe that this could happen? Really?
Well, No! How could you/they/anybody believe that they will succeed without treading the path of sacrifice?
Please Note: It did not happen before and it will not happen now.
This oft-demonstrated and unchanging divine law is in consonance with man’s nature, conscience and intellect – And: It is this law that the Ahmadiyya Community acknowledges.
As can be seen, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s concept of revival of religions is not a new-fangled philosophy born out of human intellect. It is derived from that continuous and unaltered historical process which is preserved most accurately and truly in the Holy Quran and in many other divine books as well. It is founded on those eternal principles and truths which are the basis of every true religion. For instance, the Quran declares:
“There should be no compulsion in religion. Surely, right has become distinct from wrong; so whosoever refuses to be led by those who transgress, and believes in Allah, has surely grasped a strong handle which knows no breaking, And Allah is AII-Hearing, AII-Knowing.” (Al-Baqarah, Verse: 257)
“Surely, Allah changes not the condition of a people until they change that which is in their hearts.” (Al-Ra’ad, Verse 12)
Persecution of Prophets – Tales of Tortures:
Let’s see a couple of tales of tortures which happened when the prophets preached the true religion of lord:
When Prophet Shu’aib preached, he was threatened by his people:
Assuredly, We will drive thee out O Shu’aib, and the believers {that are) with thee, from our town or you shall have to return to our religion.” … (Al-A’raf, Verse 89)
Noah’s people too threatened him with stoning if he did not desist.
They said, “If thou desist not, O Noah, thou shalt surely be stoned to death.” (AI-Shuara, Verse 117)
This treatment was not reserved for just a few prophets… it was for all of them.
The Quran summarizes people’s attitude to the prophets in these words: “
And those who disbelieved said to their Messengers, ‘We will surely expel you from our land unless you return to our religion.” (Surah Ibrahim, Verse: 14)
Abraham was punished for recanting from the religion of his forefathers and for voicing the truth. The chiefs vented their wrath by declaring:
They said, “Burn him….” (Al-Anbiya 21, Verse: 69)
Jesus Christ was nailed to the Cross because he disagreed with the Jewish Scribes over the interpretation of the Bible although he avowed openly:
Think not that I have come to abolish the law, and the prophets; I have not come to abolish but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.” (Mathew: Chapter 5, Verse: 17, 18)
Lastly and above all was the suffering of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) as he himself states:
No Prophet suffered as much as I did. (Hadees-e-Nabwi [saw])
Generations are always revived by prophets through Divine intervention. A reformer is sent by Allah, the Almighty, to turn people from materialism to spiritualism – to connect them to their Creator – to accomplish the reason for which they were created.
Indeed this is the only real and eternal philosophy of religious revival: every philosophy opposed to it is mere fantasy.
As Allah says: I have created men so that they should worship me. (Qur’an 51: 57).
As we all know, the history of religions tell us clearly that all prophets have always been just normal mortal human beings… Never did any prophet descend from heavens like heroes of some mythical tale. They were perfectly human and suffered trials and tribulations and cried out for help from the Lord. And as natural as it may seem: Their followers gain glory not only through the toils of these prophets but through their own sweat and blood also.
The persecution they endure will, instead of overcoming them, will make them stronger. That was the phenomenon of the first Messiah Jesus and this was to be repeated, and this is the Phenomenon which the Ahmadiyya Movement of Islam is passing through RIGHT NOW… we will get into details of this later.
First, let us see a couple of examples from past:
Christians of Christianity:
Christians were persecuted for 300 years, and I have seen the places where these poor people were tortured – the amphitheatres intended for gladiatorial combat with bulls and lions. It was in these places that naked Christians were thrown to hungry wild animals. The Christians were gored or trampled to death. And after this festival of blood, the laughing Romans returned joyfully home. The ‘apostates’ had been fittingly punished.
There is this Qur’anic story of the people of the cave:
But while the Christians’ legs trembled, their hearts beat strongly with faith in God. And when they found no place to hide, they fled underground to the catacombs (Ashab-e-Kahf). These long labyrinths exist today and they remind us that the Christians could live with insects, scorpions and snakes but not with those anti-religious leaders in their fine clothes. The Qur’an also mentions that Christians who believed in the Unity of God were burned alive.
Muslims of Islam:
Early Muslims were laid out in the blazing sun. Burning stones were put on their chests; they were dragged through the streets of Makkah like dead animals. They were shunned, and kept hungry and thirsty. They were thrown into dungeons and their belongings were seized. Pregnant women were thrown off camels – their inevitable deaths funding the cause of merriment. Their dead bodies were cut asunder! Haven’t you heard, the body of the Holy Prophet’s (saw) uncle was cut and his liver was eaten raw in cannibal fashion? The believers’ bodies were cut into pieces with swords and were pierced by arrows.
The Prophet (saw) himself was stoned by ruffians and vagabonds and was chased and pelted by urchins till the cobblestones of the city of Taif ran red with his blood. And at the battle-ground of Uhud the Prophet (saw) was critically wounded. ALL This bloodshed took place in the name of religion, because Muslims said Rabbunallaha: Our Lord is Allah – The One.
Now coming to the second Messiah– the returned Jesus & his followers…
Ahmadiyya Muslims: The first one hundred years of the Ahmadiyya Movement of Islam has been unfolded exactly as the first one hundred years of Christianity, and ALL PRAISE IS TO ALLAH that after every persecution we grow more powerful and gain more influence, Subhan’Allah!
Instead of being deprived, we are granted an increase in numbers of faithful followers, Al’humdulillah – This is the phenomenon of accepting the Messiah, Masha’Allah.
“Persecution not with loss – but gain”
Through our sacrifices and our blood we are the ones spreading truth about the One-God- Allah, defending our beloved prophet – Muhammad (peace be upon him), and our religion – Islam.
At the origins of Islam it was the Quran and its message which was victorious, not the sword.
Even today, others own the sword (or Gun), and the truth of Quran-e-Kareem is apparently defenceless again. Yet, the rational and the beauty of the Quran is providing victory at every encounter, and the true Islam is winning ground by the hour. This is the true phenomenon of Messiah, and the similarities are obvious.
Prophecy regarding the Persecution of the People of the Promised Prophet
– The Ahmadiyya Persecution
Considering the Prophecy In Christian Concepts:
In Mathew we see Jesus prophesying very clearly as how those who accept the Second Messiah would be treated.
Bible records his prophecy about them:
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my names sake.” (Math.24:9)
Jesus Christ describes the fate of those who were to accept the one who came in his name.
…but, before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my names sake. And you shall be betrayed by both parents and brethren and kinsfolk and friends, and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my names sake. But there shall not a hair on your head perish.” (Luke 21:12, 16, 17, 18).
What a vivid and frightening description Christ presents of the time of the Messiah of the latter days!!!
They were to be persecuted, betrayed by their own families, murdered, tortured, imprisoned and treated in the cruellest ways. Yet these atrocities will in no way affect the advancement of the movement, as Christ says, “Not a hair on your head perish.”
This is exactly the way in which the Ahmadiyya Movement has been treated, yet we have continued to gain strength and followers.
Aye Christians! Doesn’t this string a chord in your heart yet?
Again the Christ states:
“And then shall all of the tribes of the earth mourn.” (Math. 24:30)
Here Christ presents clear proof that the Promised Messiah will not agree with contemporary thought and will not support any one group, either religious or political. He, through his wisdom and call to mankind to reform or be destroyed, will cause much discern and worry among the nations.

Illustrating the Prophecy in Islam:
It is said that when the Mahdi will start his campaign for the revival of the ways & practices of the Holy Prophet (saw) and thereby cancelling all the innovations in Islam – the contemporary divines who are committed to following the orthodox jurists and / or are devoted to their leading men & ancestors with erroneous past, will say that He (the Messiah) seeks to ruin their faith and the entire Islamic beliefs! They will rise up in opposition to him and according to their custom they will declare him a disbeliever.’ (HuJajul Karamah, p.363 by Nawab Siddique Hasan Khan)
Bitter enemies of Mahdi are indicated here in this saying of the Holy Prophet (saw):
When Mahdi appears, the divines and the jurists will be his bitterest enemies.’ (Futuhati Makkiyyah, vol.2 p.242)
The Promised Messiah of all religions who founded the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community says:
There has not been a Prophet who was not laughed at. So it was to be that people laugh at the Promised Messiah.
Reminding us of the aforementioned Qur’anic verse He said:
I know that I will be rejected, but, those who truly stand for religious values, and are sent by God will ultimately triumph.”
The phenomenon of persecution was no exception to him, and so was repeated in his times and continued to this day with his followers. This age stands witness to see the worst persecution ever in the world of religions… wondering why?
Because Scores of Ahmadi Muslims are martyred, many are mutilated and many others are subjected to all manner of torture, indignity and injustice. Reports keep coming almost daily about fresh outrages against Ahmadi Muslims from all over the world. The demand of the disbelievers was always the same as usual: They reject the Promised Messiah and abuse his holy personage, his teachings and ways… and they want us to do the same!
Another fact remains that Ahmadi Muslims are blamed & persecuted for beliefs which they do not hold: Huge misconceptions and wrong abuses are presented against us (Ahmadi Muslims) and plans are hatched to torture us by the Mullahs (Muslim clergy of today) and their Men! These Mullahs mislead the innocent Muslim masses to persecute us in all possible ways or better kill us – in return they are promised Jannah / Paradise by these Mullah-Gods themselves!
But before I go ahead with details of persecution, I have to put forward the beliefs of an Ahmadi Muslim and the definition of Ahmadiyyat, so that you understand the case clearly: Please read on.
You already know very well as who the Promised Messiah represents and also are well aware about his missions (if you haven’t been through them, click to read it here: THE PROMISED MESSIAH OF ALL RELIGIONS – we have tested him with the prophecies foretold, and You have seen his beliefs and have confirmed his coming to be all according to the expectations – He (the Messiah) and his people (the Ahmadi Muslims) are all ardent followers and believers of His Holiness Prophet Mohammad (saw) and we accept him to be Nabi-e-Kareem (Chief of Prophets), Khatamun Nabiyyeen (The Seal of Prophets), Khatamul Ambiya (Leader of the elect), Katamul Mursileen, (Pride of the Prophets), and every other title bestowed upon him by our merciful Lord and we follow the same religion which was brought down by this blessed Prophet, Islam.
Beleifs of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community – Islam Ahmadiyyat
Ahmadiyya Islam is not at all a new religion – it represents Islam in its pristine purity as in the times of our beloved Master and saviour the Holy Prophet Mohammad (saw).
Our Allah is not a new God, rather is the same one God who is supreme since time immemorial.
And, our Qur’an is not a new Quran – it is actually the very same Qur’an which was delivered by God through Angel Jibraeel to Prophet Mohammad (saw), 1400 years ago, alphabet-to-alphabet.
We, the Ahmadi Muslims follow all the teachings of Islam as contained in the Holy Quran. We follow the Sunnah (ways and practices of Prophet Muhammad (saw)) and also the Ahadith (sayings) of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). We believe in all the Mujaddids after him.
The Ahmadiyya Islam, as the Original Islam stands on the same five pillars.
(1) Our Declaration of faith: La ilaha illallah Muhammad-ur-rasoolullah
I/We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah, and Muhammad (saw) is His Prophet and Messenger
(2) Offer all prayers (the 5 obligatory & others as specified)
(3) Pay the Zakat
(4) Fast during Ramadhan
(5) And perform Pilgrimage of Kaaba, the house of Allah.
We Ahmadi Muslims believe in the same six main articles of Faith, which are described in the Holy Quran, and summed up in the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH):
The absolute Unity of Allah, belief in the Angels, belief in all divine Books, belief in all Prophets by Allah, and believe in the Day of Resurrection and in the Decree of Allah.
Oh C’mon!
It was me, an Ahmadi Muslim, who in the previous chapters explained Islam to you… so you know all details about the Ahmadiyya Islam already. If you haven’t read those chapters, read them here from the title page of THE TRUTH MESSAGE.
Please do read before you proceed further.

Next now, let’s get to the point and know the differences between Ahmadi Muslims and the rest of Muslims:
After describing our beliefs and our practices, let us see what distinguishes us from the other Muslims (pretty sure, you’re thinking it, aren’t you?).
The Holy Prophet Muhammad Mustafa of Arabia (PBUH) had foretold the appearance of grand reformer or The Messiah (the re-advent of Jesus) or the Imam Mahdi in the latter days for the revival of Islam. He also had provided many signs to prove his coming and many of his preserved prophecies also talk about the time, the condition and the future of the coming Messiah.
So in one line:
We Ahmadi Muslims are the believers of THIS Promised Messiah (in the person of His Holiness Hazrath Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian) AND all other Muslims (the rest 72 sects) are the disbelievers of this Promised Messiah.
…clear?
To elaborate:
We Ahmadi Muslims believe Hazrath Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian – the beloved and sincere servant of His Holiness Hazrath Mohammad Mustafa (saw) of Arab – to be the Promised Messiah and Mahdi according to the signs given and according to the prophecies foretold by His Holiness Prophet Mohammad (saw).
Every Sign was witnessed truly happening: The universe under the divine command worked miracles to announce his coming and all sayings of our Saviour and Master the Messenger of Allah (saw) matched word-to-word about his times, his conditions and Insha’Allah (God willing) the world will witness the future predicted as coming true too, soon.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had instructed every Muslim to recognize the Messiah and partake of his blessings. Let me put it down in his very own words:
“When you hear the advent of Mahdi it is then enjoined on you to enter into his Baiat (i.e. to enter into his fold) even if you have to walk on snow by crawling and creeping to reach him.” (Kanzul Ummal; also footnotes to Musnad Ahmad Bin Hanbal, Vol. 6, p. 29-30)
At another place our beloved Prophet (saw) says:
‘He who keeps away from a divine Jama’at by so much as a step is not one of us.’
In another book of Hadees-e-Nabwi (saw) we read:
Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him) states that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) proclaimed that between him and the advent of the Messiah there will be no other prophet. The Messiah is bound to come and when he does, you should promptly recognize and offer allegiance to him.
Hazrath Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) followed and taught the exact same religion that was practiced by His Holiness the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). In March 23, 1889, Hazrat Ahmad, the Promised Messiah and Mahdi founded the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at under Divine guidance: Main objective being to re-establish a community which follows the original Islam, and the other reason was to separate the true believers from disbelievers.
Hazrath Ahmad rendered an inestimable service not only to Islam but to humanity at large by his powerful refutations of incorrect doctrines of many world religions.
Now you might be thinking, if everything is perfectly correct then why is there persecution?
Let me tell you: The persecution is not confined to the acceptance of the Promised Messiah only, it’s got more reasons because we Ahmadi Muslims reject biddat (innovations in Islam): we forbid tomb-worshiping, we condemn Jihad of the sword and majorly because we refuse to accept the orthodoxy’s vision of re-advent of Jesus! Our Motto is ‘Love for All – Hatred for None’ which the other 72 sects perhaps cannot accept… I don’t see any other reason why they else hate us.
Again I repeat: Ahmadi Muslims are those who have accepted Hazrath Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian as the Promised Messiah / Reformer / Prophet / the Imam Mahdi & Maseeh-e-Maood, as commanded by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) & as mentioned by Allah (swt) in Qur’an-e-Majeed’s Surah Al’ Jumah.

Differences Detailed
Now permit me to explain you the differences that distinguish Prophet Ahmad’s followers (Ahmadi Muslims) from the other 72 sects of Muslims.
At the outset, let me say: There are absolutely no differences between the beliefs & teachings of Hazrath Muhammad Mustafa [saw] and his followers AND the beliefs & teachings of Hazrath Ahmad (as) and his followers… however, there are many differences between Ahmadi Muslims and the rest 72 sects of Muslims as we see today.
Though there are many differences the Major ones are two, as discussed below:
- Hayat-e-Maseeh (as):
The orthodox Muslim community believes that Prophet Jesus (pbuh), the son of Mary, is still alive
- Wafat-e-Maseeh (as):
The orthodox Muslim community believes that the very same 2000 year old Jesus will personally be brought back from the heavens (4th or 5th) to complete his mission (as they do not believe in his death)
(Allah (swt) & Rasool Allah (saw) never mentioned it! Additionally it is against the practice of Allah (swt) as mentioned in the Holy Qur’an: So the Ahmadi community rejects the orthodoxy’s nonsensical concept.
An Insight into the issue:
Both the above misconceptions were born out of misunderstanding when divine prophecies were taken too literally to be true. False beliefs & expectations were made to be followed by certain idiotic Muslims clergy because:
- a) These Mullahs believe that God cannot make new prophets now.
(this is due to the erroneous misunderstanding ofthe concept of Khatamun Nabiyeen said for Prophet Muhammad (saw) –Please Click and read it to understand the correct meaning)
- b) They believe that God cannot talk to us humans now.
We have already studied Mullah’s view & expectations from the fantastic tale of re-advent of Jesus (Or click to read it now here), wherein they have taken the prophecy rather too literally and believe that, the Mythical Jesus will join hands with their Bloody Mahdi and kill all swine (literal animal), break all the crosses (cross shaped jewellery, cross in churches, cross in homes made of wood & plastic, etc) and then establish the Muslim dominion over the planet by force AND WIPE OUT the disbelievers by murdering them – those of them who do not accept Islam (Phew!).
The Muslims clerics (mullahs) actually wait for a genie kind prophet as their Messiah & Mahdi to come from the skies and make them the kings of this land, without a single sign of struggle from them… well, extremely fantastic!
That, in sum, is their philosophy of the Muslims’ political resurgence and ascendancy. It absolves the Muslims totally from waging any struggle whatsoever. These kinds of Muslims live in blissful oblivion of their decay and degradation. For, everything else apart, they know most assuredly that the happy hour is not far when a divine being will descend from the heavens and unleash a campaign of conquests.
Reason and rationality have no role to play in their understanding of Divine prophecies. It is this madness which is largely responsible for all the chaos we observe today prevailing in their perceptions, hopes and aspirations.
How long the mullahs will continue to wait for `Messiah’ to descend from Heaven… Only Heaven knows!
Yet, this exactly is the bellicose view of Muslim renaissance which the Ahmadi Muslims [followers of the Promised Messiah] find abhorrent. Islam Ahmadiyya rejects the philosophy of Islamic renaissance as explained above as propagated by the other sects of Islam. They simply cannot subscribe to it in its crude literalism.
Can you?
We know Prophet Jesus never went up there with his physical body in the first place so he can never return the same way.
The Mullahs have vociferously demanded now that Ahmadi Muslims should be penalized for not subscribing to the religious dogma directed by them (the orthodoxy).
We believe that by concocting this mindless exercise and spinning such a bizarre tale the most prominent advantage the Mullahs gain, among others, is to escape the possibility of any divine authority to be ever imposed upon them. Good riddance once and for all from the institution of prophethood and the danger of ever losing their absolute command over the ignorant Muslim masses!!!
These Muslims neither follow Allah commandments in the Holy Qur’an or Rasool Allah’s Sunnat – Islam is now but a game of Politics for Power!
Thus the Mullahs grip on Islam will be perpetuated and he will forever retain his despotic authority over the unsuspecting Muslim masses that follow them without a question – as he wants it. These followers can kill themselves OR even the whole of mankind if the Mullah’s command it – Point of Note is that these ‘commands’ have nothing to do with teachings of Islam or The Holy Qur’an or the views of the Great Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) of Arabia.
I do not claim that they follow the wrong Qur’an – No! They use the very same Qur’an but interpret it to suit their fashion, their plans! And if any verse doesn’t suit – they declare is false!
Another Very Big Reason: The Messiah who was to come has come –The Messiah has returned.
So now the Mullahs fear that they might lose all their power.
These nasty Mullahs can’t let the masses leave them for the real Messiah. Could they? After all, all the innocent masses must be really easy to be ruled, isn’t it? Why would they sacrifice their leisure for Truth?
People! This is the price man always pays for entrusting his faith to a hierarchy divested of common sense and reason, unable to distinguish between fair and foul. These Mullahs, whatever their business is, rationality is not a commodity in which they trade.
So, as proved – the most tragic of all the religious leaders of the world is the case of the Muslim priesthood today. The vain hopes they build for the ultimate victory of Islam are based utterly on misconstrued prophecies turned into mirages and illusions. They are no longer fit to lead any religious order, let alone Islam!
Picturing this very scene our beloved Holy Prophet Mohammad (saw) had said:
“There will come a time upon the people when nothing will remain of Islam except its name and nothing will remain of the Quran except its inscription. Their mosques will be splendidly furnished but destitute of guidance. Their divines will be the worst people under the sky; strife will issue from them and avert to them.” (Mishkatul Masabih, Kitabul Ilm)
Just so you know: There are certain sects in Islam today which forbid women from reading the Holy Qur’an and certain other sect restrict reading the translation of Qur’an by common Muslims – these poor sects are only supposed to follow the commandments of their mullah (Muslims clergy)… This case was seen in early days of Christianity too where common Christians weren’t allowed to touch or translate bible or read its translation, remember? Thus paving way for a new priest-version of Christianity! Similarly we see a new Mullah’s version of Islam in play today.
~~***~~
On one side there are millions of Muslims all over the world who have not yet accepted Hazrath Ahmad (as) as the Promised Messiah.
And on the other side Many Muslims and many other faiths which are still waiting for their Messiah ignorant of the fact that their expectations have been already met and their Messiah has already arrived.
~~***~~
The Persecution of The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
The Persecution of Ahmadi Muslims is the religious persecution as a consequence of professing their faith. They have been subject to various forms of persecution and discrimination since the movement’s inception in 1889.
Motto of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community as we know is “Love For All, Hatred For None” and in return we Ahmadi Muslims are persecuted and declared “Fit to be killed” (Wajib-ul-Qatl) by the other sects of Muslims today. We are even called Non-Muslims & Kafirs, and by many other wrong names as well.
The Promised Messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian says:
“God Almighty has disclosed to me several times that this Community will be put to trial to bring out who is true in his faith and who is weak. [Maktubat-e-Ahmadiyyah, vol. 5, no. 4, p. 67, Letter no. 7, addressed to Navvab Muhammad ‘Ali Khan]
Stories of Martyrdom
The early martyrs of Islam Ahmadiyyat in Afghanistan:
In the mid of year 1901 Maulvi Abdur Rahman (ra) was strangled to death in his cell (when a cloth was wrapped around his neck and he was suffocated to death) at the order of the Amir (regional religious Chief). He thus became the first martyr from among the followers of the Promised Messiah (as).
On 14th July 1903 on the orders of the Amir again, Hadhrat Sahibzada Abdul Latif, was first heavily chained and handcuffed, and was tortured in a prison. Later, his nose was pierced to pass a rope through it, and then he was dragged through the streets to great ridicule, abuse and curse to the place of his murder. He was then buried in the ground up to the waist, and stoned to death until there was a huge pile of stones over his head. After this heinous crime, his wife and orphan children were also brutally tortured and some of them were martyred.
Afghanistan: After the martyrdom of Maulvi Abdur Rahman (ra) & Hadhrat Sahibzada Abdul Latif, The Promised Messiah Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) had said: ‘Alas! What has this unwise ruler done by executing an innocent person with such fierce barbarianism? He has completely destroyed himself. O land of Afghanistan, bear witness that a grave offence has been committed in thee. O unfortunate land, thou hast fallen in the estimation of God in that this great tragedy was enacted in thee.’ (Tadhkiratush Shahadaitain p.72)

The recent martyrs of Ahmadiyyat:
There are many … which one shall I present? Okay, let’s go with one of the worst:
Pakistan: Gunmen armed with AK-47 rifles and shotguns forced their way into Dar-ul-Zikr in Garhi Shahu and Bait-ul-Noor, two mosques in Lahore, belonging to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community on Friday, 28 May, 2010 and attacked the people assembled in there for Jumah (Friday) Prayers. The terrorists martyred more than 86 Ahmadi Muslims and maimed more than 125.
Perhaps the so-called Muslims of Pakistan do not fear the warnings by Allah in the Holy Quran:
And who is more unjust than he who prohibits the name of Allah being glorified in Allah’s temples and strives to ruin them? It was not proper for such men to enter therein except in fear. For them is disgrace in this world; and theirs shall be a great punishment in the next. (The Holy Quran, Ch.2: V.115)
How clearly does it suit to the Pakistani Mullahs & their men!
Surely, those who distort Our signs to seek deviation therein, are not hidden from Us. Is he, then who is cast into the Fire better, or he who comes to Us in security on the Day of Resurrection? Do what you will. Surely He sees all that you do. Those who disbelieve in the Reminder – the Qur’an – when it has come to them are the losers. And truly, it is a mighty Book. (Ch.41: Vs.41-42)
A few years later the government of Pakistan, taking the levels of persecution a little higher, ordered as per law that the police should remove of the Kalma from the front side of the Mosque and also ordered demolition of the minaret and dome of that very mosque! All because the Kalma, minaret & the dome are making the prayer house of Ahmadi Muslims look like a mosque and people of Pakistan cannot tolerate that an Ahmadi Muslim’s place of worship should look like a Muslim Mosque!
We are ordered to stop pretending to be Muslims!
Freedom of religion is one of the fundamental rights of man provided his religious practice does not harm his society; man should be free to profess his belief and practice his religion, without any hindrance. This is because religion is a matter between man and God.
World religions have never compelled their followers to either deny this right to anyone or to compel anyone to follow a different belief. This is to be expected naturally as religion originates from God and its object is to bring man closer to God – It is a personal thing.
Allah in the Holy Qur’an has made the choice of religion absolutely clear. Allah clearly states in the Qur’an that ‘
There should be no compulsion in matters of religion. (Ch.2: v.257)
He also says in relation to Islam that:
And say, It is the truth from your Lord; wherefore let him who will, believe, and let him who will, disbelieve.’ (Ch.18: v.30)
Qur’an says [42:11]:
And in whatsoever you differ, the decision thereof rests with Allah.
Nobody is made a chief to judge other’s beliefs as Allah said in Qur’an-e-Majeed:
…And We have not made thee a keeper over them, nor art thou over them a guardian. (Ch. 6, V.108)
So where did you find that persecuting & killing innocents in the name of Islam, or Allah, or His prophet (saw) is ordered?
A clear ruling forbidding the killing of innocents is provided in the tradition of the Prophet (saw):
The greatest sins are to associate something with God and to kill human beings.”
And in the Qur’an-e-Kareem, we read:
Whosoever killed a person for an offence, unless it be for killing a person or for creating disorder in the land, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind... (Ch.5:V.33)
In Pakistan Today:
No Ahmadi Muslim can call his place of worship as ‘Masjid’ as usual Muslims do;
No Ahmadi Muslim can make a call to prayers [Azan] or recites Azan as done by Muslims
No Ahmadi Muslim can directly or indirectly pose or present himself as a Muslim
No Ahmadi Muslim call his faith as Islam
No Ahmadi Muslim is allowed to preach his faith in Allah
No Ahmadi Muslim can use any verse of Quran for religious purposes
No Ahmadi Muslim… well, you can imagine the rest! (I’ll present them later)
In one line we Ahmadi Muslims are forbidden to follow Islam.
Islam is, as Allah says in Qur’an-e-Majeed, a religion for all those who accept & believe in Allah as the One-God, and believe in Prophet Muhammad (saw) to be his Prophet & Messenger which we Ahmadi Muslims do.
Allah says:
This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour upon you and have chosen for you Islam as religion. (Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:4)
The followers of Islam, the final religion for mankind are named Muslims by the Lord himself. The Quran says:
He named you (the believers) Muslims both before and in this Book. (22:79).
BUT WE AHMADI MUSLIMS ARE FORBIDDEN TO FOLLOW ALLAH & HIS COMMANDMENTS
Surely then you must know who orders all this persecution!!!
Can it be an extremist opponent of Islam?
Or another sect of Muslim maybe?
Or another book written against Qur’an?
Or maybe a Jewish or Christian group or maybe an Atheist leader… Or a certain association of Men? hm? What do you think?
Well, You’re wrong.
It is impossible even to think but…
It is a country which has written down these “orders of persecution” in its ‘Constitution’ and has classified them as ‘Law’.
SURPRISED?
SHOCKED?!
Sorry, but I have to give you another Shock, do be prepared: It is an Islamic Republic of Pakistan– a country with Muslim Majority that introduced this injunction.
Let me put down few of the facts here:
The religious Islamic establishment in Pakistan does not approve of the reformatory nature of Islam Ahmadiyya, and they consider it heretic.
Since the last quarter of a century Mullahs, i.e. the orthodox clergy in Pakistan have been actively engaged in a campaign of calumny and slander against the founding leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community (The Promised Messiah) and its members: They have been holding public meetings, delivering speeches and distributing hundreds and thousands of pamphlets in which spurious charges and false allegations are made about Ahmadi Muslims and their beliefs. A continuous stream of propaganda has been let loose to incite the masses to violence against the rank and file of the peaceful Ahmadiyya Community.
We cannot refrain from expressing that the venom fed to the public in this campaign against us (Jama’at-e-Ahmadiyya/The Ahmadiyya community) is based on pure fabrication and falsehood.
Finally September 7, 1974, (when Pakistan formally became a Takfiri Republic!) witnessed the most shameful act in Pakistan’s democratic history for the so-called Islamic Republic of Pakistan, on this day, through a constitutional amendment, unanimously declared all the followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani as non-Muslims.
Many politicians have often found it politically attractive to support the mullah in his anti-Ahmadiyya agitation.
It was Bhutto who found it politically advantageous in 1974 to have the Ahmadi Muslims declared as ‘non-Muslims’. To summarize: Pakistan’s elected parliament, pressurized by sectarian Mullahs, led by unscrupulous politicians, played God to decide matters of faith.
[Allah says ‘there’s no compulsion in matters of faith’, ‘its between me and my servant’… certain people in Pakistan CLEARLY consider themselves above Allah & HIS commandments)
Progressing with persecution: In 1984, military dictator General Zia-ul-Haq went a step further and enacted notoriously barbarian Ordinance XX (added Sections 298-B and 298-C in Pakistan Criminal Code) which restricted…
Ahmadi Muslims from calling themselves as “Muslims”
for offering Islamic prayers “Salaat/Namaz”
for making call to prayer ‘Azaan’ A ban was imposed on all their Islamic activities. Completely barred from free practice of their faith to the extent that they were restricted constitutionally from using Islamic terms as well: A mere act of saying the greeting of peace: Assalam-o-Alaikum (meaning peace be upon you) by an Ahmadi was declared a CRIMINAL OFFENCE to be punished with imprisonment for 3 years with fines.
READ FROM THE OFFICE FILE HERE:
Addition of new sections 298B and 298C, Act XLV of 1860. In the Pakistan Penal Code (Act XLV of 1860), in Chapter XV, after section 298A. According to it:
(1) Any person who call themselves ‘Ahmadis’ who by word, either spoken or written, or by visible representation refers to, or names, or calls, his place of worship as ‘Masjid’; shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, and shall also be liable to fine.
(2) Any person who call themselves ‘Ahmadis’ refers to the mode or form of call to prayers followed by his faith as ‘Azan’, or recites Azan as used by the Muslims, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, and shall also be liable to fine.
298C. PERSON OF QADIANI GROUP, ETC., CALLING HIMSELF A MUSLIM OR PREACHING OR PROPAGATING HIS FAITH.
OR
who, directly or indirectly, poses himself as a Muslim,
OR
calls, or refers to, his faith as Islam,
OR
preaches or propagates his faith, or invites others to accept his faith,
(by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representations)
shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine.
The Pakistan Penal Code (Act XLV of 1860), in Chapter XV, section 298A, 298B and 298C declared:
An Ahmadi (follower of Hazrath Ahmad, The Promised Messiah (as)), who calls himself or ‘poses as a Muslim’, or calls his faith as Islam, or preaches or propagates his faith, or invites others to accept his faith, by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representations, or in any manner whatsoever outrages the religious feelings of Muslims will be liable to three years’ imprisonment and fine.
The Holy Quran states: O ye who believe! …Say not to anyone who greets you with the greeting of peace (i.e. says Assalamo Alaikum) that ‘you are not a believer’” (4:95)
And here we have this so-called Islamic Country Pakistan declaring prison term for exchanging the Islamic greeting of pace: Assalamalaikum (Peace be upon you);
A Sentence on Charge of Offering Prayers: Namaz / Salaat;
3 Years of imprisonment and fine for displaying Kalima (article of faith) on a place of worship, or home or anywhere;
Punishment for Building Mosques (the Order also announced demolition of existing Ahmadi mosques and a stop upon new plans);
3 Years of imprisonment and fine for making the call to prayers ‘Azan/ Adhaan’;
3 Years of imprisonment and fine for writing an article about Prophet Muhammad’s (saw);
3 Years of imprisonment and fine for writing a Qur’anic verse anywhere;
Persecution for Wearing rings with Qur’anic inscriptions;
Criminal cases for translating the Holy Quran into other languages (to spread the word of Allah);
Ahmadi Muslims are to be fired from Jobs on account of their Faith;
An Ahmadi cannot call his place of worship as ‘Masjid’ nor himself as ‘Muslim’;

“…members of the Ahmadiyya community … can be imprisoned and even sentenced to death solely for the exercise of their right to freedom of religion…”

To continue… Very Important:
The mullahs were not satisfied with only three years’ prison term provided by the Ordinance XX. Blood thirsty as they are, they demanded a legislation which would prescribe death to those who do not agree with their personal views of Islam; the government came up with the answer in the so-called Blasphemy Law, the PPC 295-C. Anyone who was guilty not to accept that the Holy Prophet Mohammad (saw) was last prophet OR accepts that the Promised Messiah is a prophet is to suffer death.
In his message to the Khatme Nabuwwat Seminar at London, General Zia promised: ‘We will persevere in our effort to ensure that the cancer of Qadianism is exterminated’. The message was a loud and clear call to all the anti-Ahmadiyya activists at home that they could do what they liked and the government would support them.
Allah says to these disbelievers in the Qur’an:
Have they determined upon a course to compass thy end? Then We, too, have determined their destruction. [43:80]
Do they think that We hear not their secrets and their private counsels? Yea! And Our messengers remain with them recording everything.[43:81]
However, after the announcement, the mullahs had a free hand to preach violence against Ahmadi Muslims. They openly preach that to kill an Ahmadi is an act of great merit and it brings Divine reward and Paradise in the Hereafter.
To order butchering of all Ahmadies by everybody the Deputy Attorney General to the Federal Shariat Court announced:
Death is the penalty of those who do not believe in the Finality of Prophethood, and in Islamic countries it is a heinous crime; it is not necessary that the Government should take action, but on the contrary any Muslim can take the law in his own hands. (UN DOC E/CN.4/1986/SR.30 at p. I5)
In 1986, the blasphemy law, PPC 295-C, was promulgated.
It called for the death penalty to perpetrators of “blasphemy”.
The Supreme Court remarked in a written judgment in 1993 that an Ahmadi who shows any commitment to the Kalima (Islamic creed) defiles the name of the Holy Prophet (sa) while Allah said in the Holy Qur’an about Rasool Allah (saw):
[Chapter 21:108] And We have not sent thee but as a mercy for all peoples.
God says to Mohammad: Proclaim! ‘O mankind, truly I am Allah’s Messenger to you all’… (Ch.7:V.159)
The Supreme Court of Pakistan perhaps presumes that it is in itself a more Supreme authority than Laws of Allah!
The Supreme Court of Pakistan, in its verdict of 1993, rejected Ahmadiyya challenge to these laws, thereby bringing the judicial road to efforts to annul them to a cul-de-sac.
The Supreme Court not only justified General Zia’s Ordinance XX, it went further to suggest that Ahmadiyya theological position in itself could be considered blasphemous.
A Question of Principle:
- Is any Assembly in the world,per se, entitled to deprive an individual of the basic right to exercise his free will to attribute himself, to the religion of his choice? And / Or,
- Is any Assembly in the world,per se, entitled to decide, by way of interference in the domain of faith and religion, as to what it considers to be the religion of any community, sect or individual?
We answer both these questions in the negative.
In our view, regardless of colour, race, and geographical and national divisions, it is an inalienable right of every human being to attribute himself to whichever religion he chooses, and no one in the world, nor can any organization or Assembly deprive him of this basic human right.
The U.N. Charter of Rights, in the context of guaranteeing basic human rights, also accepts this right of every human being to attribute himself to the religion of his choice.
Similarly, Section 20 of the Constitution of Pakistan also accepts this basic right of every citizen of Pakistan.
Human nature and conscience, too, do not empower any Assembly to deprive any individual or sect, of the right to choose to attribute himself or herself to a particular religion.
~***~
Islam in its true meaning is a religion of tolerance and allows freedom of belief and expression of opinion. No authority has been granted to any man to inflict any kind of punishment as far religious matters are concerned. We have numerous examples from the times of beginning of Islam of Prophet Mohammad (saw) himself as how he never killed absolutely nobody on the matter of faith for He told & himself believed that faith rests in heart, and none other than Allah himself knows what’s in there! Yet Ahamdi Muslims have been entitled to death for blasphemy in Pakistan, the so-called Islamic country! Shame!
~***~
Looking into the history we find how hundreds and thousands of a particular sect of Muslims were declared ‘Kafirs’ at the hands of certain other sects, and how they suffered all manner of persecution including confiscation of property, imprisonment and death, etc. However no one ever demanded that the whole community of theirs’ should be forbidden from professing and practicing Islam!
No persecutor of the past ever demanded that a particular sect should not be allowed to offer prayers, or that they should NOT be permitted to call ‘Azan’ or that their mosques should not be called Masajid… Maybe if we dig into the history at the times of Holy Prophet we can find these sorts of practices practiced possibly by the disbelievers of the Prophet (saw) himself!
But again this must be the very first time when one sect of Muslims are demanding the other sect to STOP following Islam – Perhaps this was the one manner of persecution which was left to the Maulvis of Pakistan to discover and employ from the fourteenth century Hijri onwards.
It is outrageous that the very most basic foundation of following Islam – the recitation of Kalima is considered a criminal offence for Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan! We cannot call our religion as ‘Islam’, we cannot have verses our Holy Quran with us, neither can we call our people to prayer, nor can we build our Mosques. Neither can we work, nor can we join any educational institution. Above all the one which hurts the most is that we are accused as ‘posing’ as a Muslim.
Apparently,
The last traces of fear of God which put a semblance of restraint on the political Mullah of the past have now vanished from the darkened hearts of the Maulvis & people of Pakistan.
Regardless of the fact that Ahmadi Muslims are not considered Muslims in Pakistan for the purposes of the Constitution and Law, God-the Divine, commands for all mankind who accept him to be the One and Only Lord as: ‘I want Islam to be your religion’ (6.3) and under the verses 22.78 have named them as Muslims.
Will the Ahmadi Muslim now be denied this divine right under the threat of penal codes & punishments of Pakistan?
~***~
Coming back to the Ordinance XX – Believe it or not!
The Absurd Ordinance XX that we read above is widely applied by many as everybody is now officially allowed to kill as many Ahmadi Muslims possible for the achievement of Paradise in the Hereafter.
In fact, this ordinance was a green signal for anti-Ahmadiyya elements (disbelievers of the Mahdi) to open the floodgates of tyranny with the help of the State: Its evil was made to spread over almost every aspect of individual and communal life of Ahmadi Muslims.
In this situation, mullahs, the villains planned and struck at will. The persecution thereafter became pervasive, and today Ahmadi Muslims are unsafe at all times, everywhere. Ahmadi Muslims are now murdered on the roads, in their homes, at market places, and not to forget in their mosques as well. At many occasions, murders were committed for personal reasons, knowing that authorities would not follow up murder of an Ahmadi anyway.
Authorities continue to maintain the ‘open season’ of hateful propaganda against Ahmadi Muslims around the year.
For instance, the World Tahaffuz-e-Khatme Nabuwwat Council (Islamic organization in Pakistan) published and distributed a calendar recently which carried provocative writings against Ahmadis. It carries a slogan: The only cure for Qadianis (Ahmadis): Al Jihad, Al Jihad. It asserts: “… they (Ahmadis) have no right to live (whether in Pakistan or anywhere – must be killed).”
Another such organization Aalmi Majlis Tahaffuz Khatme Nabuwwat [MTKN, another Islamic organization in Pakistan] issued a poster in which they declared that Ahmadis were apostates and their penalty is death. “It is indeed Jihad to kill them in the open”, urged the poster.
The government took no action against these agents-provocateurs but yeah, of course, the Mullah-worshipping Muslims did take many actions all over the country as ordered.
A tract issued by the MTKN, carrying full address of the publisher, concludes saying:
“All Ahmadis should be given a grace period of three days and invited to become Muslims like the one billion Muslims of the world. Those Ahmadi apostates who do not become Muslims in these three days should be made to stand in a line and be shot. The killing of these apostates should not stop till the very last one of them has been done with.”
No action was taken by the government against the publishers again.
In their campaign of hate, Mullas have been helped by higher institutions of the state, for example, the Islamic Ideology Council: The Council is on record to have opined: “In case a Muslim should join Ahmadiyya Community, such a person shall be an ‘apostate’ liable to suffer mandatory sentence of death.” (Letter dated 10 November 1981, to the Federal Government)”
Another said:
Qadianis are a threat to the defense of Pakistan and national security. The late Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani was a great blasphemer and his followers are the worst non-Muslim minority. Penalty of apostasy is death. [Khawja Mehboob Ilahi of Aziz Sharif. The daily Khabrain, October 5, 2010]
The Pakistani government instead of arresting these Mullahs, has aided and abetted these clergy by providing all facilities of its press & media including Radio, Newspaper & Television to propagate and publicize the activities and pronouncements of the Mullahs…
Wonderful, isn’t it?
Nowhere would have a state gone against its own people! And let me tell you the Ahmadi Muslims weren’t a small number of people: The count was then 5 million (50,00,000) people.
A recent interview by Bhutto’s then Information Minister Abdul Hafeez Pirzada categorically stated that Bhutto was motivated politically against the jamaat and not in any way for religious reasons – Clearly! Religion is but a game of “politics for power” in Pakistan! And, it was the philosopher of Pakistan Allama Muhammad Iqbal who had for the first time demanded of the rulers to declare “Qadianis” as non-Muslim minority. (Reference: Haraf-e-Iqbal) Pathetic!
————————————————————————————
All of this reminds me again of the prophecy of The Nabi-e-Kareem (the Chief of Prophets):
“There will come a time upon the people when nothing will remain of Islam except its name and nothing will remain of the Quran except its inscription… Their divines will be the worst people under the sky; strife will issue from them and avert to them.” (Mishkatul Masabih, Kitabul Ilm)
Consider this: “…and avert to them”.
Where have the great blasphemy rules led Pakistan today?
The Urdu word ‘Insan’ which means ‘human being’ is derived from the root ‘Uns’ which means affection and love. Certain Pakistani bereft of affection and love, have ceased to be human and …
————————————————————————————
Sandwiched between societal and state persecution, today the Ahmadi Muslims live in insecurity and fear.
Hate speech continues unchecked and instigators of violence go unpunished. Some sample events are described below briefly to show the extent and nature of the environment in which Ahmadi Muslims maintain a precarious existence in the country they loyally call ‘home’.
Terrorists now avail of the anti-Ahmadiyya posture of the state to impose more bloodshed on this vulnerable community.
Although all religious minorities face difficulties in Pakistan, the Ahmadis are a case apart. Their persecution finds legal cover in the laws of the land. The religious extremists relentlessly exploit this situation, and the state colludes in this exploitation.
The Obvious Results:
Since 1984, not a single day has passed when an Ahmadi was not in prison under these laws or being Murdered or blamed of blasphemy. Hunderds have been murdered and thousands have been imprisoned.
Many of our Mosques have been destroyed, desecrated, locked or vandalized.
Hearing of just another Ahmadi Muslims brother or sister martyred has become a sort of regular news update, heart-breaking though.
Innumerable others are subjected to attempted murder and left brutally injured.
The hard-earned property of Ahmadi Muslims is damaged, looted or burnt (with no scope of recovery or compensation).
Ahmadi Muslims are subjected to all kinds of verbal harassment in public & private.
Thousands of Ahmadi Muslims have faced prosecution in courts for no specific reasons.
Hundreds have been convicted upon rumours.
Ahmadi students’ entry into professional colleges is restricted.
In the field of employment, even petty public positions are denied to Ahmadi Muslims.
Even to get a national Identity Card every citizen of Pakistan claiming to be Muslim is made to sign a declaration wherein he/she has to deny the veracity of Hadhrat Ahmad, the Founder of Ahmadiyya Community, The Promised Messiah.
Ahmadi Muslims have been falsely charged for Blasphemy… The act NO Ahmadi Muslim would never ever think of committing.
Official Blasphemy by Pakistani Authorities is worth a mention:
Pakistani authorities have destroyed many Ahmadiyya Mosques all over the country. Often news is published of removal of the Kalma and about breaking of the minarets & domes of the remaining unbroken Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques. Rejecting all Qur’anic commandments by Allah and practices of Rasool Allah (saw) the Policemen and Elite Force commandos of Pakistan raid Ahmadiyya Masjids to commit this shameless act of Official Blasphemy having “NO FEAR” of Allah, the Almighty.
How unfortunate are those who break mosques and more unfortunate are those who order it.
The Qur’an says:
And who is more unjust than he who prohibits the name of Allah being glorified in Allah’s temples and strives to ruin them? (Ch.2:V.115)
[2:86]: Yet, you are the people who kill your own brethren and turn out a section of your people from their homes, backing up one another against them with sin and transgression…
At one unbroken and unharmed mosque the government officials of Pakistan ordered Ahmadi Muslims not to offer Namaz/Salat and / or Jumah prayers there… reason specified was ‘to avoid unpleasant situations’. The Pakistani Government actually knelt down to the demands of extremists & Mullahs and asked Ahmadi Muslims to stop praying!
Stop Praying to Allah?!?! The only reason for which we Humans were created?
Allah mentions the reason he created us Humans in HIS own words as:
I have created jinn and men so that they should worship me. (Qur’an 51: 57).
Pakistan, the first so-called Muslim country stands proud at the point of demolishing Masjids – the house of Allah and now they’re perhaps the very first also to go right against Allah’s commands and demand the exact opposite!
—
Today Hate filled posters; stickers, fliers and calendars are openly distributed across Pakistani cities calling people to kill Ahmadis.
The government and security agencies choose to ignore the matter completely. Punishing the culprits behind these leaflets and hate material is a far cry.
Hate campaign against Ahmadis reaches new heights in Pakistan and even innocent children are not spared now: “There was an open hate campaign against Ahmadis in Pakistan and young children studying in nursery grade classes are not even spared from this horrific discrimination and hatred. [from annual report, the Persecution of Ahmadis in Pakistan by Jamaat Ahmadiyya Pakistan]
Even Ahmadi Muslim women are not spared: Of course! I must mention this: Many Pakistani Ahmadi women are killed under their proudly held persecution laws and to add the Mullah-Gods also preach that raping Ahmadi women is permissible in Islam…!!!
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF: As in the times of Prophet Muhammad the first Muslims had to migrate to save their lives and religion… exactly these days we see a large number of the Ahmadi Muslims fleeing from their hometowns to seek refuge elsewhere… History repeats itself.
Pakistani Muslims might have forgotten that Allah had said in the Qur’an says:
[9:20] Those who believe and emigrate from their homes for the sake of God and strive in the cause of Allah with their property and their persons have the highest rank in the sight of Allah. And it is they who shall triumph.
The killing of even an apostate is an erroneous trend and baseless conviction. In fact, this menacing tenet is based neither on the Holy Qur’an nor on the practice of the Holy Prophet (saw). The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 4, verse 94:
O ye who believe! When you go forth in the cause of Allah, make proper investigation and say not to anyone who greets you with the greeting of peace, ‘Thou art not a believer.’ …;
How I wish Muslims of Pakistan would follow Allah, and not the Mullah.
And who is more unjust than he who prohibits the name of Allah being glorified in Allah’s temples and strives to ruin them? It was not proper for such men to enter therein except in fear. For them is disgrace in this world; and theirs shall be a great punishment in the next. (The Holy Quran, Ch.2: V.115)
Desecration of a place of worship is the highest form of provocation against any religious group and Pakistan runs first in this heinous crime: Ahmadiyya Mosques are another prime target of this Ordinance.
Perhaps never before in history were mosques desecrated by Muslims themselves… (Here Pakistanis have created history)
Masjids are the prayers houses, called the house of the Lord, but those violence loving people love to shatter them down to pieces, or to shed blood in it: Recall the day of May 28 Lahore Ahmadiyya incident where people assembled for Friday prayers were killed by their own Muslim brothers. How pathetic!
Prophet Mohammad’s Charter of Privileges to Christians declared that … No one is to destroy a house of their religion…’ and today we see Pakistani Muslims rejecting the word of Allah (swt) and Rasool-Allah (saw) and following the words of Mullahs-their self made God! A heinous act beyond description!
—
Why don’t the Pakistanis protest against the persecution of Ahmadi Muslims & other innocent minorities? Is their conscience DEAD?
This is what happens when the entire system, from top to bottom, is reeks of untruth. The Qur’an highlights this point:
[2:86]: Yet, you are the people who kill your own brethren and turn out a section of your people from their homes, backing up one another against them with sin and transgression…
The right to impose religiousness has not been granted to anyone as the Quran clearly specifies: …And We have not made thee a keeper over them, nor art thou over them a guardian. (Ch. 6, V.108)
O People! I openly declare that these men with extremist ideologies are enemies of Islam & humanity on the whole. The do not follow any Islamic principles because Islam itself says that everyone is answerable for their actions to God only.
Every single Pakistani Muslim should consider the attitude of these ulema, because suppression, torture, execution, arson and the razing of mosques are neither the Prophet’s (saw) tradition, nor the order from Quran by Allah, the Almighty.
These are the questions that every Pakistani should seriously think about.
Majorly this: Allah us se Mohabbat karta hai jo uske bando se Mohabbat karta hai… You’re wise enough to understand the rest.
I urge all of you to read our books, the whole of Ahmadiyya community wants to spread the truth from the lord but the Mullahs could never allow it… tell me: Without knowing what we are, how can anybody believe in us?
And, these Mullah’s spread all the wrong information about us.
They can’t take a chance with allowing their people to try and hire their brains on reading or understanding our books as they know, once the truth is out, they’ll lose their innocent masses and so our books are banned or burnt if found anywhere.
~***~
There seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel for the peaceful people of the promised prophet, but these people, that is, the Ahmadi Muslims are a rather strong faith-based community (all thanks to the gracious god), and in spite of all odds they remain perfectly hopeful of triumph in coming times.
An Ahmadi Muslim says:
…I only complain of my sorrow and my grief to Allah, and I know from Allah that which you know not.’ (12:87)
You should remember that a true believer is never despaired of God; it is only the disbelievers who are despaired of Him.
Hasn’t Allah said in the Quran in Chapter 2:154-155
O ye who believe, seek through perseverance and prayer; Surely, Allah is with those who patiently preserve.
[14:13] ‘And why should we not put our trust in Allah when He has showed us our ways? And we will, surely, bear with patience all the harm you do us. So in Allah let those who trust put their trust.’
[8:60] And let not those who disbelieve think that they have outstripped Us. Surely, they cannot frustrate God’s purpose.
Let me recite verses 31 – 33 of Surah Ha Mim Al Sajdah for the Ahmadi Muslims:
‘And as for those who say, ‘Our Lord is Allah,’ and then remain steadfast, the angels descend on them, reassuring them, ‘Fear ye not, nor grieve; and rejoice in the glad tidings of the Garden that you were promised. We are your friends in this life and in the Hereafter. Therein you will have all that your souls will desire, and therein you will have all that you will ask for — ‘An entertainment from the Most Forgiving, the Merciful God.’ (41:31 – 33).
‘Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return.’ (2:157).
Ahmadi Muslims are provoked repeatedly but keep our calm and suffer silently, but deeply complaining only to our God against the transgression and tyranny of the State and the society.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at is a peace-loving true Muslim Jama’at. Thus there will be no improper reaction from any Ahmadi ever. Our salvation lies in our supplications to Allah, the Almighty alone and we believe that He has, and always will, help us. No terrorist and no government can ever stop the progress of our Jama’at because it is a Divine organization.
And it is again said:
Do not be in doubt and do not be sad for you will be victorious as long as you have faith and remain steadfast. Surely, victory is for you. [Anjam-e-Atham, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 11, p. 61]
It is a time for trial and a time for purification. And the time of punishment cannot be averted from befalling the guilty.[Anjam-e-Atham, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 11, pp. 56–57]
God will never allow events to shape such that the believers can be blamed by the disbelievers. [Anjam-e-Atham, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 11, p. 59]
God’s promises to the Promised Messiah (as) and his people:
We shall crush your enemies into bits. That is, they will be humiliated and their schemes will be frustrated. [Anwarul-Islam, pp. 2–3, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 9, p. 2–3]
We will lay bare the real truth, that is, will expose their designs and will openly manifest the Signs of victory and on that day the believers will be pleased, both the first and the last. [TADHKIRAH Page: 329]
Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (aba) said:
“The strength, the spread and the success of our Community can never be stopped by our opponents. But our opponents should remember that when the Divine Power is forced to take action then they will not be able to escape His Wrath. At such a time no Mullah or cleric and no law will ever come to their aid. Indeed the so-called religious scholars, who cruelly justify their acts in the name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) will stand at the front of the queue amongst those against whom God’s Sentence will pass.”
The Promised Messiah (as) writes in his book Tadhkaratush Shahadatain in which he admonished the members of his Community in the following terms:
‘If you will adhere to truth and faith, angels will instruct you, heavenly comfort will descend upon you, you will be helped by the Holy Spirit, God will be with you at every step and no one will be able to overcome you. Await the grace of God steadfastly. Listen to abuse and keep silent. Endure being beaten and be steadfast. As far as possible do not resist evil, so that you may be accounted acceptable in heaven.’
At the end of the book he announced:
‘Harken, all ye people. This is a prophecy of Him Who had created heaven and earth. He will spread this Community of His in all countries and will make it supreme over all, through reason and arguments. The days are coming, indeed they are near, when this will be the only religion which will be held in honor. God will bestow extraordinary blessings on this religion and Movement. He will frustrate everyone who seeks to destroy it. This supremacy will last till the Judgment Day.’
Let’s pray: May Allah protect all good-natured people from the evil acts of those opposed to peace, Ameen.

Coming back to our discussion, Ordinance XX seriously violated the freedom of religion of Ahmadi Muslims and their basic human rights as well. It legalizes persecution of Pakistan’s own citizens, how pathetic!
The murderers and their patrons are definitely identified but the government takes no action to bring them to the book. The murderers admitted to the press that they had killed the Qadiani and were proud of their act and the judicial courts announced them as ‘Not Guilty’ of murder, and the rest of Pakistan shamelessly entitle the murderer as their ‘Hero’.
“We salute him who dispatched the apostate to hell” — says the Khatm-e-Nabuwwat Movement.
The Holy Qur’an says:
‘O, my people, why do you seek to hasten on evil rather than good? Wherefore do you not ask forgiveness of Allah that you may be shown mercy? [Ch. 27: Vs. 47]
Worthy of presentation here are a few intercepts showing the Unworthy Role of the Newspapers of Pakistan:
The media is the most powerful entity: They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power because they control the minds of the masses.
As we all know, the Anti-Ahmadiyya clergy has waged a war against the Peaceful Ahmadi Muslims. Their aims and objects are best expressed in the form of Demands and Resolutions made by them in their conferences, rallies, meetings and periodicals.
Majlis Tahaffuz Khatam-e-Nabuwwat (MTKN) is one of their central organization which co-ordinates all policies, plans and operations. A study of these demands, reproduced below, may portray these as unrealistic and unsupportable, even bizarre, but it is a fact that the government of Pakistan has granted and MTKN has already achieved more than what they demanded.
The Demands of the Anti-Ahmadiyya Islamic Clergy
FYI: The terms Mirzais OR Qadianis OR British agents – all refer to Ahmadi Muslims [believers of the Promised Messiah].
MTKN – Nawai Waqt, Multan 20 Jan 1992 said:
Qadianis should be subjected to punishment of death, nothing less and no more. The entire literature of Qadianis should be confiscated and destroyed. The Holy Quran and their translations published by Qadianis should be confiscated.
Daily Nawa-i-Waqt, 5 Nov 97:
“A Qadiani was murdered for Blasphemy against the Holy Prophet. If anyone else repeats the Outrage, he will meet the same Fate-statement”.
A.G. Bhatti, Chairman of the Ahle-Hadith Students Federation:
“Mirzai Community (Ahmadi Muslims) should immigrate to London, the abode of Mirza Tahir, the apostate who is the successor to their false prophet, Ghulam Ahmad, the apostate. Put them to sword – burn their crops — demolish their places of worship; and rebels have no right to live. It is government’s duty to cleanse this pure land of all Mirzais and do away with their false mosques, as Mirzais are the worst and ugliest traitors to Islam and Pakistan; and no Muslim can tolerate the presence of these traitors and British agents in Pakistan.”
Daily Musawat, 9-12-1997:
Qadianis are not infidels: they are apostates, and the punishment of an apostate is death.
Maulana Chinioti Nawai-i-Waqt, 13-12-1997:
Qadianis are like an injured snake- The government should crush its head.
Pasban Khatme Nabuwwat 23 Nov 1997:
Qadianis should not be appointed as judges.
MTKN – Current Report, Faisalabad 6 Mar 1998:
Approval should not be granted to establish any school under Qadiani management; schools already functioning should be closed down forthwith.
MTKN – The Daily Din: 24 Feb 1998:
All Qadiani sports rallies and periodicals should be banned.
Announcement by MTKN in The Daily Jang 4 Oct 1997:
Qadianis should not be appointed in key posts.
Qadiani educational institutions should be retained by the State or handed over to Muslims.
Qadianis are apostates – death should be imposed upon them.
Warn Qadianis to either convert to Islam or face death.
Ahrar Resolutions – The weekly Chatan, 19 Mar 1984 declared:
All Mirzai associations and organizations should be forbidden by law, including the Ahmadiyya Students Federation.
Implement recommendations of the Islamic Ideology Council immediately: These include death for apostasy etc. Tr.
Arrest Mirza Tahir forthwith, book him for rebellion against Pakistan’s Constitution and the Islamic Umma, and give him befitting punishment. (Jamiat Momineen-Al Minbar, 16 Apr 1983)
Announcement should be made by 1 May 1997 to hang Mirza Tahir. (MTKN – The Daily Khabrain, 26 Feb 1997)
*Hadhrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (May God be pleased with him) is the 4th successor of The Promised Messiah (as).
The government should register a case of rebellion against the Qadianis’ chief, Mirza Tahir Ahmad, recover him through the Interpol and hand him over to Muslims to be dispatched to hell. (Saifulla Farooqui, Chairman Sipah Islam, Pakistan The Daily Jang 31 Dec 1997)
MTKN Tando Adam resolutions-Alminber 29 Jan 1983:
The Editor of the Qadiani newspaper Alfazl and the other four captives should be lashed in public, their faces should be blackened and then they should be hanged. Nothing less is acceptable.
We consider that both the questioner and the responder who introduced Abdus Salam Qadiani as a Muslim scientist on a TV program on 2 August are Qadianis. We demand most forcefully that both should be sentenced to death under Martial Law and in accordance with the Constitution, without delay, for open rebellion. Others involved belonging to the TV management should be declared as apostates and they should be sent to prison after lashing them in public.
Inscription of Kalima (Islamic creed) should be effaced by the Government from all the Qadiani places of worship all over the country. (KN 22 Mar 1985)
[How grave is the sin of effacing the Kalima, May God grant wisdom to the wrongdoers, Aameen]
A ban should be imposed forthwith on Qadianis to travel abroad. Qadiani missions should be closed all over the world.

Following resolutions were passed at the international Rabita Alam-e-Islami Conference on 8 April 1974 (Reported in the Weekly Chatan, 6 May 1974):
Observe a complete boycott against Ahmadi Muslims in the economic, social and cultural fields. In view of their Kufr (infidelity), matrimonial relations with them should be desisted, and they may not be buried in Muslims’ graveyards.
Extract from a poster by Mullahs reproduced in Tehrik Khatame Nabuwwa Vol. Ill (Annex): To claim ‘prophecy’ should be termed a punishable offence in Pakistan.
The monthly Khatame Nabuwwat urged the Government to implement the move in the following manner:
All Mirzais who will make a wrong statement (of their faith) would be hanged in public.
The intelligence agencies have to actively locate individuals Qadianis.
Dismiss all government officials who feel liberal towards Qadianism.
Those who point out hidden Qadianis would be rewarded with cash or promotion.
It should be proclaimed that anyone found supporting a Qadiani will be punished.
[Editorial – KN 13 Dec]
Qadianis should be given an ultimatum that, if by a specified date, they repent and convert to Islam, it will be better; otherwise Implement Sharia punishment for apostasy (i.e. death) on all of them. (KN 1 Mar 1985)
All please note: There’s no punishment for apostasy in Islamic Sharia.
Heights of Immorality
As if the systematic persecution of living Ahmadis was not enough, sporadic reports of exhumation of Ahmadi dead bodies’ leaves me horrified and grief-stricken.
On the demand of Pakistani Ulema, a heavy police contingent recently removed Qur’anic verses and religious texts written on tombstones of Ahmadi graves.
The reason specified: “As the Ahmadis are not Muslims, they cannot have Qur’anic verses inscribed on their tombstones”; Qur’anic verses upon the tombstones in the Ahmadi graveyard were “hurting the sentiments of Muslims” was told.
In a country, where our dead are not spared, how can one protect the living? Police officials & the Government say that all this is done to “maintain peace.”
Qur’anic verses are not provocative by any means, and from what our Lord Almighty Allah says, this Qur’an is revealed for the whole of mankind… then who are these Pakistani Mullahs to dictate terms to us on that part? And how foolish are those government officials who reject to follow the guidelines set by Allah and quietly follow the Mullah!
Everybody knows that the concept of Pakistan was based on this Kalima. This Kalima defines the faith of a Muslim and Pakistan was made a Muslim country based on this very point, however, today we see these passionate patriotic Pakistanis erasing the Kalima from Masjids as many possible! How Horrible!
How much more can the Pakistani government degrade?
Extremely pathetic is the condition and yet we see “sickening silence” prevailing in the society as a response to such happenings! Are Pakistanis still proud of their country’s constitution?
This is a country which demands to ‘Stop praying to Allah’ and still this country is supposedly called ‘A Muslim Country – an Islamic country’… I demand to know on what basis is this called as such?
Pakistanis are warned — You are not erasing the Kalima… You are erasing you own selves, your pasts, your presents, your futures and your hereafters! You will be destroyed if you don’t pay heed to Allah’s commands.
As far as Ahmadi Muslims are concerned: The disbelievers of Messiah can erase the Kalima from our Masjids & tombs but they will never, never-ever, be able to erase the Kalima from our hearts!
Let them kill us in the most barbaric ways possible, they’ll never be able to lessen our Imaan, faith in our Lord.
Let them storm all our Masjids, they’ll never be able to stop us from praying, from kneeling, bowing down & worshiping our Lord, the one-God, Allah.
Let them put all their efforts in putting a halt at our endeavours in spreading the peaceful message of lord, Qur’an, they’ll never be able stop us (to be honest their efforts are helping our message reach far and wide – This is the point of blessing).
Let them send all warnings they can to harm us in all the ways possible – they’re only making Allah bless us more and more every time in ways unpredictable and all amazing.
O enemies of Islam-Ahmadiyyat! You are not opposing us – you are opposing Allah! Repent or you shall perish!
Mullahs are liars and spread false propaganda to fool Muslims. Their lies are exposed in this program. Learn about true Islam which is nothing but Ahmadiyyat. Mullahs have fooled the Pakistani nation to believe that Ahmadis do not believe in Khatam-e-Nabuwwat of Prophet Mohammad (saw) whereas Ahmadis are the only Jama’at that believes in Khatam-e-Nabuwwat in its true sense.
Pakistanis are living into lies and deceit of Mullahs and the government has done nothing to stop this vile and baseless propaganda against Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at.

One question to you, my dear Muslims: Please do answer me…
Muslims are supposed to be ‘the best of peoples’…
Do you think these Pakistani Muslim & their Mullahs are good enough to be called Muslims?
They take the laws of the lord in their hands and decide to judge the faith & fate of people… they plan bloodshed, mislead the innocents, disturb the peace of society, ignore truth, reject the messiah, disobey the orders of the Holy Prophet (saw), reject the commandments by Allah and do other lot of awful things too thus creating mischief and destroying all peace!!
Answer me then: Are these people good enough to be called Muslims? Does Islam teach bloodshed?
People! This is what happens when taqwa lessens, personal gain overrides communal gain and worldly matters are given precedence over faith. The height of barbarity is committed and people of God are murdered in the name of God. People who profess the Kalma persecute other Kalma-believers, children are murdered and all manner of cruelty is perpetrated against people of God who sacrifice their all for God.
What could be more unfortunate than to carry out brutality in the name of God and His Prophet?
The Qur’an states:
‘And whoso kills a believer intentionally, his reward shall be Hell wherein he shall abide. And Allah will be wroth with him and will curse him and will prepare for him a great punishment.’ (4:94)
God’s most intense displeasure for such people is that they will be in Hell for a long period of time and His curse is on them. This is indeed a most grievous punishment and it could not be more unfortunate that a person who professes the Kalima is given such a punishment. On the other hand, God states about those innocents who were martyred: ‘…they are living, in the presence of their Lord, and are granted gifts from Him…’ (3:170).
Well, here’s something for all the disbelievers – a warning from their LORD:
[40:36]“Those who dispute concerning the Signs of Allah without any authority having come to them. Grievously hateful is this in the sight of Allah and in the sight of those who believe. Thus does Allah seal up the heart of every arrogant, haughty person.”
[40:22] Have they not travelled in the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? They were mightier than these in power and in the marks they left in the earth. But Allah seized them for their sins, and they had no protector against Allah.
[40:23] That was because their Messengers came to them with manifest Signs, but they disbelieved; so Allah seized them. Surely He is Powerful, Severe in punishment.
[41:54] Soon We will show them Our Signs in all parts of the earth, and among their own people until it becomes manifest to them that it is the truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord is Witness over all things?
So if they repent, it will be better for them; but if they turn away, Allah will punish them with a grievous punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they shall have neither friend nor helper in the earth.
[16:27] Those who were before them did also plan, but Allah came upon their structure at the very foundations, so that the roof fell down upon them from above them; and the punishment came upon them from where they knew not.
[41:47] Whoso does right, it is for his own soul; and whoso does evil, it will only go against it. And thy Lord is not at all unjust to His servants.

Let me give just 7 Examples of Martyrdom:
You’ll get an idea about the rest.
Chaudhry Riaz Ahmad was present at the courts’ premises to stand bail for another innocent Ahmadi, when a violent mob attacked him in the presence of police. They stoned him to death, and dragged his dead body in the streets. The police just watched.
Mr. Bajwa martyred: Anti-Ahmadiyya extremists stopped him in the street and fired eight bullets at him. Mr. Bajwa died on the spot.
Mr. Nazir martyred: He was a medical practitioner. At about 10.45 p.m. when he was attending to a patient, four armed extremists entered his clinic and took him away forcibly. Three days later, his dead body was recovered from a nearby watercourse. He had been shot dead and then hacked to pieces.
Mr. Azam was walking home at about 8.30 p.m. when three persons approached him and asked his name and if he was an Ahmadi. Having established his identity, they shot him twice and ran away. He expired.
About 21 Ahmadi Muslim worshippers were attacked by approximately 1500 Islamists in Indonesia on Feb 6th, 2011. The barbarity of the perpetrators knows no bounds: The attackers stripped naked the Ahmadiyya men and beat them with machetes, spears, knives and other weapons. They also burnt the house and the vehicles parked there. The crowd watching the merciless beatings were clapping and cheering.
[Is this Islam? Can these violence makers be called Muslims? Are these to be called ‘the best of peoples’… ASSUREDLY NOT!]
On February 10 of this year, one Master Abdul Qudoos Ahmad was taken into police custody in connection with the Murder of a local stamp-seller Muhammad Yousuf. There was absolutely no evidence or even the smallest connection to prove Master’s involvement in the murder, yet, the in-charge of the Rabwah police station, Pakistan, and his assistant locked him up most obviously because he was an Ahmadi Muslim.
Mr. Qudoos was the local Jama’at head, it was perhaps this reason and majorly because this was the very first time the Pakistanis had got hold of an office-holder from the community and so they tortured him with all their might in all ways possible.
During this illegal police detention, Mr. Qudoos was not allowed to meet his family, nor he was provided medical treatment or a lawyer, nor was he officially charged with any crime. According to information received from inside sources, he was subjected to extremely cruel and merciless tortures for forty-five days which led to multiple organ failure, internal bleeding and other traumatic injuries finally resulting in his death [Inna lillahe wa inna illaihe raji’oon] and attaining the status of martyrdom.
A great conspiracy to defame the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at was behind the motive and it was a major effort to falsely defame the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat. To explain: The torturers just kept saying to him to name other office-holders of the Jama’at (community) and to sign a paper statement citing falsely that certain central figures of the Jama’at-e-Ahmadiyya were involved in the murder, and if he signed he could be set free! All Master Quddus said was that he would die but not lie. He only stuck to truth and that was his only crime.
Master Abdul Qudoos himself told before his death that during this period he was tortured in the most inhumane and depraved manner. They put him through a range of brutal physical torture techniques: He was beaten with lashes, was hung upside down by his ankles for extended periods, and above all, a heavy wooden rolling pin was used to crush his body: For this he was forced to lay flat on his back while a heavy wooden roller, similar to those used to flatten cricket pitches, was rolled over his body. His captors stood on either side making sure he could not escape the torment. He was rarely fed and he was put through sleep deprivation as well. As soon as he would fall asleep they would start beating him up again.
Such inhumane and merciless treatment led to multiple organ failure and other physical injuries. The aforementioned methods of torture are but a few examples of the torment inflicted on him in a demonstration of hatred against the Ahmadis by the law enforcers. And thus he was tortured ruthlessly which ultimately resulted in his martyrdom [Inna lillahe wa inna illaihe raji’oon].
This is the tale of one who kept his faith alive and stayed firm on truth.
This personification of resolve and courage is seen in Ahmadi Muslims where we would give our life more willingly but did not give a false statement. God has declared falsehood tantamount to shirk (associating partners with God) and this great martyr has once again taught us this lesson.
O Qudoos, we salute you!
Shohdaa-e-Ahmadiyyat Zindabad! [Long Live Martyrs of Ahmadiyyat]
The Indefensible Silence of Media over the Sickening Slaughter of Qudoos is Shocking!
Can anyone of you justify this incident?
Why do the human rights organizations, Punjab Government, the so-called Islamic Pakistan federal govt., Prime minister, President, chief minister choose to ignore every Ahmadi Killing?
WHY IS EVERYBODY SO SILENT?
Are Ahmadi Muslims not human?
In one of the most egregious incidents mobs were incited by Mullahs in the Punjab town of Gujranwala and they attacked its Ahmadi residents. A contemporary account states:
“Four young men ran through the streets of Gujranwala, Pakistan, trying to escape the mob rioters chasing them and reach the house of their friends. Their friends, two brothers, had already arranged to move all the women of their house and others to a nearby neighbour’s home for safety. The four men reached the house of the two brothers with a trail of stone-throwing rioters behind them. The six of them climbed to the roof of the house. The stone throwers, however, had already reached the roofs of adjoining houses and began pelting the men. They were forced to come back down. The men found themselves surrounded and trapped. The rioters proceeded to beat the men with sticks and clubs and continued to stone them. While beating the men, the rioters shouted and demanded the men denounce their Ahmadi faith and “Mirza Sahib”. The six men refused. The rioters then stoned the six men to death. The women of the household fought their tears and mourned quietly afterwards for fear of being heard by outsiders. The six men lay buried beneath the pile of stones for a day. No one dared approach the site of the killing out of fear of the militant perpetrators. The next day, members of the six men’s religious community uncovered the bodies and discreetly buried them. Reports were filed but no charges were made by police”.
Nadeem Ahmad Siddiq, “Enforced Apostasy: Zaheeruddin v. State and the Official Persecution of the Ahmadiyya Community in Pakistan”, Law and Inequality, December, 1995.
There’s one another case where a critically injured Ahmadi lying in a pool of blood as his life’s blood ebbed out of his bruised and battered body, begged for some water. A cruel & cursed Mullah stepped forward and sweeping up some sand from the ground poured it into the mouth of the dying Ahmadi. The young man was in the prime of his life and had expected to live his life and achieve all the ambitions that any young man of his age is entitled to expect. Yet in the face of a baying mob that demanded that he simply renounce the Promised Messiah, he refused to bow down or be cowed into submission, and gave the supreme sacrifice of his life. Such was the love of that young man and the 6 other Ahmadis who were murdered in that one day in Gujranwala, for the Promised Messiah that they all chose to stand tall, and never once flinched before the Yazid of their day – the Pakistani Mullah. Throughout the year of 1974 Ahmadis suffered terrible torture, trial and tribulation.
There are hundreds of such cases but I wish to present them not!
Please search for ‘Persecution of Ahmadi Muslims’ and you’ll know many more.
I am not strong enough to detail them all down here. It is not possible to record all the outrages and excesses of the government and the mullah, that were committed against the peaceful Ahmadi citizens of Pakistan, therefore, only a few sample incidents are described in essential detail to bring home the nature and severity of the treatment meted out to the Ahmadiyya Community and its members.
Admittedly, a pen-picture can hardly do full justice to the emotions and mental agony and suffering of the victims who suffer constantly while under attack by the clerics and the State; only a feeble effort was made.
Study of whole report takes the reader in a world, where probably the word civilization does not exist. Such barbaric acts by the Muslims, leaves very deep black scars on the beautiful peace loving teachings of Islam. On one side are the kind hearted acts of great prophet Muhammad (saw) while on other these shameful acts of his so-called followers. What a contrast!
WARNING: It is a time for civil society to raise its voice in favour of justice, failing which, the cries of innocent people might result in wrath of God. When wrath of God takes on, then no planning or safety measures work. Remember This!

Well, those were the Articles of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
BUT IF we see from the point of view of a Pakistani: None of them are applicable to Ahmadi Muslims: Now either the declaration is not so universal, or perhaps Ahmadi Muslims are not Human enough to be worthy of the same “universal” rights.
There is a humanitarian crisis in Pakistan… And this is a crisis in our global humanity.
People!
Don’t their lives matter? Don’t their deaths count? Can Ahmadi Muslims not have “the right to life, liberty and security”?

Qur’an on Martyrs:
[3:170] Think not of those, who have been slain in the cause of Allah, as dead. Nay, they are living, in the presence of their Lord, and are granted gifts from Him,
[3:171] Jubilant because of that which Allah has given them of His bounty; and rejoicing for those who have not yet joined them from behind them, because on them shall come no fear, nor shall they grieve.
[3:172] They rejoice at the favor of Allah and His bounty, and at the fact that Allah suffers not the reward of the believers to be lost.
[16:43] Those who are steadfast and put their trust in their Lord.
[4:75] Let those then fight in the cause of Allah who would sell the present life for the Hereafter. And whoso fights in the cause of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, We shall soon give him a great reward.
[16:42] And as to those who have left their homes for the sake of Allah after they had been wronged, We will surely give them a goodly abode in this world: and truly the reward of the Hereafter is greater, if they but knew —
May God elevate the station of these martyrs and continue to grant us steadfastness… Aameen
These were the great people who were patient and steadfast and they will remain as models of steadfastness forever. The Holy Qur’an says about them:
‘And say not of those who are killed in the cause of Allah that they are dead; nay, they are living; only you perceive not.’ (2:155).
They demonstrated to the world that while they have attained the pleasure of God they have also become a source that shall flourishes faith. Every single drop of their spilt blood will bear great fruits.
God has reminded believers to be patient: ‘And seek help with patience and Prayer…’ (2:46).
A servant of the Gracious God will only submit to God rather than raise a clamor or take out rallies or take the law in his hand. He shifts his emotions to patience and prayers and that is when he is worthy of glad-tiding. God has foretold us that:
‘And We will try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives, and fruits; but give glad tidings to those who patiently preserve.’ (2:156).
These martyrs were in full awareness and with complete perception of attaining God’s pleasure that they submitted to the will of God. One or two sacrifices is nothing for us Ahmadi Muslims as we are well prepared to spill the last drops of our blood for the community of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) because today it is our blood alone which will revive the teachings & demonstrate the status of the Holy Prophet as Khatumun Nabiyeen, the chief of all Prophets (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
All martyrs of Jama’at-e-Islam-Ahmadiyya are reviving the models of the earlier-Muslim martyrs: they’re keeping the great example of the Companions of The Holy Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them all) ALIVE, Subhan’Allah!
Ahmadi Muslims are those who seek God’s help with patience and Prayer and who come in His refuge. These are those who rise and sit on the voice of one Imam, Our Spiritual Leader, The V successor to The Promised Messiah (as). They are the followers of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) who came to establish the teaching of his master the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him); teaching that had brutes transform into righteous men.
We say, ‘Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return’ and left our matter with God and we await His decree.
O Pakistani Brutes! Carry on with your brutality and your violence that you perpetrate in the name of Allah on Allah’s beloved people – you appear to take the masses back to the brutality of 1500 years ago. Few of you say there is no need for a reformer, the Shariah of the Holy Qur’an is sufficient. Are these acts in line with the Shariah then?

BLASPHEMY EXPLAINED
Neither Allah in His Holy Qur’an nor Prophet Mohammad (saw) granted to any man the authority to inflict any punishment for blasphemy: Let me make perfectly clear once and for all that Islam does not prescribe any punishment for blasphemy nor vests such authority in anyone. There is not a single verse in the Holy Koran or a single example from the practices of the Prophet Muhammad, for the punishment of blasphemy. Yet Ahmadi Muslims have been sentenced to death for uncommitted blasphemy in Pakistan!
Clearly, Pakistanis can stoop to any level ‘lowest of the low’ but follow their Mullahs-Gods. Pakistanis can reject Allah & his commandments in the Quran-e-Kareem; Pakistanis can reject the practices of our beloved prophet Muhammad (saw) but not their Mullah-Gods!
A Questionable Conclusion: I demand the attention of all world Muslims to this.
Are these Mullahs God?
Who are they to decide our fate?
Who gave them the right to Judge our faith?
As far I know, Allah is the only Maalik, the only Judge of faith… But No! It seems these Mullahs have replaced God today… they have taken over the responsibility to judge our faith and have decided our fate as well. They stand strong today as they’ve got a good large party of foolish followers all over the world who do anything commanded very willingly, without even a single thought. Ah yes! Mullah is their God, after all and nobody can question a God, you see.
Let me tell you my dear worshippers of Mullah-God: The allegations that they put against us are all lies.
Not a single sentence they say is truth. They do not have courage to debate us upon truth! And as they cannot afford to loose their faithful followers (that is you) they develop many stupid stories mentioning few fake self-created hadeeths, etc and fool the masses, comprised of you kind of people. They are experts at speaking such horrible lies in the name of Allah and His Prophet (saw) that the foolish followers are provoked against Ahmadi Muslims… Blasphemy laws are the armour of the insecure!
O People! Face the facts! These Mullahs have sold out the values of real Islam & the virtues of real Prophet (saw) & the Almighty Allah
… Oh well, they don’t really need an Allah – do they?
Their Mullah’s have taken over all the responsibilities of Allah remember? So today they’re preaching a new Islam created by them to suit their own egoistic missions.
Mullah-Gods around the Globe: Incredible yet pathetic is the fact that great Muslim countries such as the Arab, Pakistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh and many others are amongst their powerful followers and now these Mullah-Gods are well-equipped with all power & people… And so they’ve started ruling according to their newly created religion which is actually and only a powerful tool in disguise. These Mullahs breed terrorism, hatch hatred & use all possible sorts of violence in the name of Islam…
…and then the command comes from the Divine Mullah-God to his faithful foolish followers to break the Kalima, demolish Mosques, wreck houses, shatter shops and everything else that the peaceful Ahmadi Muslims own; The command is then executed with all the energies & capacities they have.
Yet again when the Mullah sees that we do not care and remain peaceful practicing patience with prayers—-they get all the more infuriated… Hence they see no option but to declare us fit-enough-to-be-killed.
Now these foolish worshippers of the Mullah-God follow his command without a question and attack every Ahmadi Muslim in reach… But let me tell you dear foolish followers of the Mullah-God:
We Ahmadi Muslims are neither afraid of you nor will we try to stop you! We will not even protest against your judgments.
By the Grace of Allah we have enough patience & we put all our trust in Allah, the Almighty.
By the Grace of Allah again we Ahmadi Muslims are holders of great treasures of love: We all still love you – O dear disbelievers, and we do not hate you, not even a little… And, should a need arise we will be the first to come to help you – All for love of humanity & to please our lord after all we are supposed to be the best of peoples, aren’t we?
Yes we believe in this: Gaaliya’n Sunn Ke Dua do… Paake Dukh Aaraam do.

Allah informs us in the Holy Quran:
God knows all that is in their hearts; so ignore what they say, admonish them and speak to them in such terms as will address their minds.”(4:63)
The responsibility of the Prophet and his followers is to observe the policy of avoidance, and, by wishing well for all, convey the message of God to them in such a manner that their minds might be properly addressed.
The case is made out in the Chapter entitled Al-Ghashiya:
… So, exhort them; your task is only to exhort, you are not their keeper. But whoever turns back and denies the truth, will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. Certainly, it is to Us that they will return.” (88:17-26)

And again:
Didn’t His Holiness Prophet Mohammad Mustafa (saw) forgive all his persecutors & enemies at once? He never preached revenge. So following his footsteps, as He is our model, and as taught by Allah in his book, the holy Qur’an, we forgive you for everything you’ve done against us and invite you with opens arms to come and join us – the community of the true followers of Prophet Mohammad (saw).
If not, however, very soon Insha’Allah, you & the whole world shall witness as what happens to the Worshippers of Allah and also the fate of the Worshippers of the Mullah.
The opponents of our community are trying their utmost to destroy our Jama’at, but they will never be successful. Let it be clear that their efforts can never succeed and indeed their evil plans will soon die a miserable death. The spread of Islam Ahmadiyyat is destined because it is God’s Will.
Quite honestly: Most amazing is the fact that: All attempts made to harm the Ahmadiyya Muslim community have only helped us in not only strengthening our spirits but also in spreading our message much farther than expected. Thank you dear disbelievers, you’re helping our progress a lot. Oh! I can never thank you enough.
O People, O Momins! O Muslims! Please read the books of the Messiah Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) – the slave & the most ardent believer and follower of His Holiness Prophet Mohammad Mustafa (saw) and then you’ll know the truth.
We Ahmadi Muslims, even in these times of severe persecution, are spreading the message of Islam through peace.
Love for Humanity is our basic fundamental. Our motto says it all: Love for All, Hatred for None. We develop free Hospitals for the sick, free education for the poor; donate blood voluntarily in specially organized camps, donate food, clothes and many other such social services and all our services extend to all mankind irrespective of caste, creed and colour.
We Ahmadi Muslims very firmly believe in the promise of our lord and we believe in “NasrunMin Allahi, wa fathun kareeb” – “Help from Allah and a near victory”.
This is a part of the verse of the Holy Quran says in Surah Al ‘Saff, Verse 13: Translation of this verse is:
“And He will bestow upon you another favour which you love: help from Allah and a near victory. And give glad tidings to the believers”
This Jama’at is a divine community formed on the orders of the Lord and no amount of persecution would discourage our enthusiasm or our beliefs. Click to read about this community here: The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
Aaj Agar Kisiko Hazrath Mohammad Mustafa (saw) Ke Muqam-E-Khatme-Nabuwat Ki Pehchan Hai To Woh Ahmadi Musalman Hai;
Aaj Agar Hazrath Mohammad Mustafa (Saw) Ke Hukmo Par Chalne Wale Agar Koi Hai To Woh Ahmadi Musalman Hai;
Aur Ye Sab Is Wajah Se Hai Ke Qur’an Aur Hadees Ki Ruh Se Aaj Hazrath Maseeh-E-Maood (as) Ne Hume Iska Sahi Faim Aur Idraak Ataa Farmaya Hai;
Bus Aaj Agar Muslim Apna Islam Zinda Rakhna Chaahte Hai To Sivaaye Hazrath Mohammad Mustafa (Saw) Ke Sachche Ghulam, Aur Aashiq-E-Saqib Ke Peeche Chalne Ke, Koi Rasta Nahi Hai… Isliye Is Maseeh Aur Mahdi Ki Dushmani Ko Chod De.
Now we know, certain Paksitani Mullahs can’t preach real Islam that is peace – so they preach hatred.
And as they do not know / understand the commandments of Qur’an – they take all possible efforts to stop us also from teaching you the real meaning… Such is their Hatred towards truth BUT DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
These people so hate the truth that they even the reject the prophecies told in the Qur’an and also these also remain strong in rejecting the Hadeeth of Prophet Mohammad (saw). As I said earlier, these do not follow the Islam or the Qur’an or the Hadeeth of the Prophet of Arabia His Holiness Hazrath Mohammad Mustafa (saw). They have created an entirely created a new religion with the name Islam and preach the commandments written by self but in the false name of Allah & his Prophet (saw).
How grave are their sins and how horrible will be their consequences, yet they seem only to enjoy and are all willing to call upon themselves the wrath of the lord… or are they entirely unmindful of the original concepts of the Lord and His Prophet… only the Lord knows well.
However, The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the community of the Lord (Allah), planted by his own messenger (Mohammad (saw)), and taken care of by his very own messiah (Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as)), and followed by his faithful believers (All Ahmadi Muslim Community) – No power in this entire universe has the ability to stop it or halt its progress! If anyone attempts to stand against the law of Allah, be warned, he is paving a way to destroy himself forever.
The people who desire to turn the members of the Ahmadiyya Community into apostates and to distort their beliefs –God Almighty will demonstrate His power and will defeat their purpose and will render all their efforts vain. God Almighty will break their arrogance and their boastful pride and humble them. He will destroy their opposing strength, frustrating them, and soon will stop them from putting up opposition, their secrets will be disclosed and all their faults and defects will be exposed depriving them of all their support and reducing them to helplessness. He will close upon them all ways of escape, and convict them and reduce them into the position of prisoners.
And we will be helped in helped in a manner the like of which is not to be found among the annals of history. This is all Allah’s grace Who has power over everything. He punishes whom He wills and has mercy on whom He wills. He vanquishes whom He wills and bestows victory upon whom He wills and no one can frustrate Him. [A’ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam, pp. 578–581, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 5, pp. 578–581]
For Pakistanis & all other persecuting countries, Allah says in Qur’an-e-Majeed says:
[85:11] Those who persecute the believing men and the believing women and then repent not, for them is surely the punishment of Hell, and for them is the torment of heart-burning.
[86:16] Surely they plan a plan, [86:17] And I also plan a plan.
[86:18] So give time to the disbelievers. Aye, respite them for a little while.
[42:32] And you cannot frustrate God’s plan in the earth;
These are the Signs of Allah which We rehearse unto thee with truth. In what word, then, after rejecting the Word of Allah and His Signs, will they believe? (The Holy Quran, 45:7)
You (Mullahs) are unsuccessfully trying to bring the name of our master, benefactor of mankind, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) in disrepute.’ On the Day of Judgment the Kalima (declaration of Islamic faith) will seize every single one of them and hurl them to their bad ending. It is certain that those who have inflicted these cruelties will be answerable to God and will have to face His punishment.
[2:86]: Yet, you are the people who kill your own brethren and turn out a section of your people from their homes, backing up one another against them with sin and transgression…
[2:191] And fight in the cause of Allah against those who fight against you, but do not transgress. Surely, Allah loves not the transgressors.
And know,
…follow not that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the ear and the eye and the heart – all these shall be called to account. (Ch.17:V.37)
[16:89] As for those who disbelieve and turn men away from the way of Allah, We will add punishment to their punishment because they acted corruptly.
The Ahmadiyya Muslims will only continue to bow down in front of the One God and seek His Protection and Help.
… those who believe and do good works, for them are Gardens through which streams flow. That is the great triumph.’ (Surah Al Buruj, verse 12)
By persecution the enemy thought he would weaken us, will break our strength. He assumed Ahmadi Muslims probably did not have faith. He did not know the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) has infused the energy of faith in his community. Doubtless this persecution has not been without benefit. The movement is spreading faster than at any other time in history.
Apart from the spiritual strength derived from total submission to Allah and devotion to the Holy Prophet Mohammad (saw), the Ahmadi Muslims possess neither the material resources nor the means to effectively counter the officially organized agitation against them.
We only recite the prayers from the Holy Quran:
‘O Allah, we make You a shield against the enemy and we seek Your protection against their evil designs.’ And ‘O Lord, everything is subservient to You. O Lord protect us, help us and have mercy on us.’ And Say, ‘My Prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are all for Allah, the Lord of the worlds; (Ch6:V163)
Despair not of the mercy of Allah O Ahmadi Muslims – certainly with the mercy of Allah, victory is close. None of our enemies can ever be successful as all of them come under this verse: Laanat-ullah-e-Alal Kazibeen meaning “May the curse of Allah be on the liars, the disbelievers”.
They make us Hussein-like and themselves become like Yazid. What a good bargain it is… let the enemy hurl arrows.
With a view to explaining the position of the Ahmadiyya Community on various issues raised by the Mullahs and to remove misunderstandings created by hostile propaganda, Jama’at-e-Ahmadiyya is airing discussion programs on MTA (Muslim Television Ahmadiyya) which is also available online at mta.tv
MTA is watched by millions of people in all of the five continents. There is no leader in the world whose sermons are seen with such yearning and regularity as by millions of his faithful followers, including me, from all over the world. The sermons are then posted online in many languages. Under MTA, the voice of Islam Ahmadiyyat is reaching the ends of the Earth by the Grace and Bounty of God Almighty, Masha’Allah
I invite you to watch those programmes and make your own judgment.
Please go through our books at www.alislam.org/books for all information about us, OR, Get the MTA dish for home delivery of all truths.
Insha’Allah (God willing) you’ll know all truth and be guided along the straight path.
We offer no further comment and turn to Allah with our complaint and seek only His help for redress.
All of us should pray profusely, pray profusely, pray profusely – This is our one and only resort which will help & bless not only us and our lives but also of those who come after us. I pray that may God keep each Ahmadi Muslim safe from every evil, Ameen, Summa Aameen, Allahumma Aameen.

Hazrath Imam Hussain (May God be pleased with him) – Was he an apostate (God forbid)?
Though Islam is the first religion to give to the mankind, its message of love, universal brotherhood and tolerance, it is a tragedy that this message was completely ignored by the professional Mullah who was brought into existence as a political necessity by the early kingdom formed in the Muslim world.
History records that the first victim of the Mullah was Sayyadna Hazrath Imam Husain, peace be upon him, who was declared an apostate and punishable by death by Qazi Shuraih, on the behest of Ibne-Ziad in return for a few sacks of gold coins delivered during the night. Indeed, that was a tragic night because the weapon of ‘Takfir’ i.e. declaring a Muslim an apostate (kafir), was given into the hands of the political Mullah, who thereafter wield it, on many occasions, towards his own advantage, and to serve the interests of his political masters.
All the four Imams including Hazrath Imam Abu Hanifa (may God’s mercy be upon him), and almost all the venerable saints of Islam and their followers were, at one time or another, declared apostate and subjected to persecution at the altar of political expediency.
~***~
Wait a minute!
Pakistani constitution has declared Ahmadi Muslims to be Non-Muslims or more preferably we are called Kafir… so these Mullahs and all Muslims must be taught the true meaning & the definition of the word MUSLIM, what say? Shall we try?
It is time that Paksitani Muslims and all Muslims learn it.
Who is a Muslim?
During the last fourteen centuries, various religious divines have, from time to time, issued various edicts of disbelief on the basis of their self-styled definitions. It created such a horrifying situation that there was not a single century in which these so-called definitions spared the saints, the deeply religious divines, and pious mystics without holding their adherence to Islam as strongly suspect. One cannot present even a single Islamic sect whose ‘disbelief’ is not fully affirmed by at least a few of the other Islamic sects.
It is a universally agreed upon principle that before determining whether an individual or a group belongs to a particular species, an all-encompassing and exclusive definition of such a species is made, which acts as a touch-stone. As long as such a definition exists, it becomes quite easy to decide whether or not any particular individual or group may be counted as a member of that species.
Can any definition of a Muslim be found in the Holy Quran, or by the Holy Prophet (PBUH)?
The viewpoint of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at is that we must adopt as a Constitutional definition which was precisely formulated by the Khaatamul Anbiyaa’, Hadhrat Muhammad (saw), and which constitutes a glorious charter for an Islamic country. In this context, we quote below, two Sayings (Ahadith) of the Holy Prophet (saw):
- Hazrat Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) said:
‘Ask me question“, but (his companions) were diffident to ask. Meanwhile, a man came in and sat in front of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and asked: ‘What is Islam?” The Holy Prophet (PBUH) replied: ‘Do not associate partners with Allah, offer prayer, pay Zakat and fast in Ramadhan‘. The man replied: ‘You have spoken the truth’. (Muslim – Kithab ul Iman)
- The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said:‘One who observes the same prayer as we do, faces the same direction (in prayer) as we do, and partakes from the animal slaughtered by us, then such a one is a Muslim concerning whom there is a covenant of Allah and His Messenger; so you must not seek to hoodwink Allah in the matter of this Covenant‘. (Bukhari – Kitabus Salat, Baab – Fazl Istiqbal Il Qibla)
Our Spiritual Master Holy Prophet (PBUH) has done us all a tremendous favor by spelling out this definition in such comprehensive and unambiguous terms, and thereby laying the foundation of the international unification of the Islamic World. It is incumbent upon every Muslim Government to accord explicit recognition to this cohesive foundation in its respective Constitution. Failure to do so would perpetuate disunity among the followers of Islam and their trials and tribulations would continue unabated.
As far as the reality of Islam is concerned, we reproduce below the definition of a true Muslim in the words of the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at. He says:
“The accepted meanings of the term Islam is enunciated in this verse of the Holy Quran: Nay whoever submits himself completely to Allah, while he is excellent in conduct shall have his reward with his Lord. No fear shall come upon such, neither shall they grieve. (2:113)
Other definitions of the word Muslim:
A Muslim is one who promotes peace in society.
A more beautiful definition of a Muslim has been given again by the very founder of Islam, the Holy Prophet Mohammad (saw). He is reported to have said:
A Muslim is that person from whose hands and from whose tongue all people are safe.’
During the time of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A.), when revolt against Islam was on, did he or the Companions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) feel any need to modify the definition which had prevailed during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet (PBUH)?
Was there any instance during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) or during the period of the Rightly Guided Caliphate (Khilafat-e-Rashida) of declaring any one to be a non-Muslim despite one’s affirmation of the kalima (La Ilaha Illallahu Muhammadhur Rasoolullah), and further expressing one’s belief in the remaining Four Pillars of Islam i.e. daily prayer, Zakat, Fasting and Pilgrimage to Mecca, any such person was still declared to be non-Muslim?
If it were to be considered legitimate to declare someone to be outside the pale of Islam, just because one’s interpretation of a few verses in the Holy Quran is unacceptable to some Muslim divines of certain sects. Would that sound true?
Conclusion:
Ahmadi Muslims, believers of the Imam Mahdi and Maseeh-e-Maood (as) qualify as Muslim by all definitions.
The only acceptable and practical definition of a Muslim is one which may be definitively predicated upon the Holy Quran, one which is clearly established to have been narrated by the Holy Prophet (PBUH), and adherence to which definition is clearly established throughout the lifetime of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the period of the Rightly Guided Caliphs.
Any attempt to redefine a Muslim which bypasses this paradigm will not be free of pitfalls and lacunae. There in no way out of this quagmire.
The Ahmadiyya Islam, in its purest practice as demonstrated by Muhammad (saw), advocates religious tolerance.
Ahmadi Muslims do not issue fatwas deciding others conduct or statuses of faith. We are only responsible to recommend the truth to you. We do not to force submission out of you as the Quran directs there is no compulsion in matters of religion. The Holy Qur’an totally rejects the use of force to suppress religious freedom.
And: No individual or denomination can be empowered to expel an individual or a sect from the larger corpus of Islam. It is a matter between a human being and God and it can only be resolved on the Day of Judgment. Since the application of these edicts to govern worldly matters would entail disastrous consequences for the unity of the Muslim ummah, therefore no individual or sect can be declared to be outside the pale of Islam on the strength of an edict issued by the religious scholars of any denomination.
***
Who is a Kafir?
Islamic scholars or the so-called Islamic Ulema of Pakistan have in unison agreed to declare all Ahmadi Muslims as Kafir and have force-fed into the country’s constitution an ordinance call XX which says that if any Ahmadi Muslim directly or indirectly poses himself as Muslim by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representations, or in any manner whatsoever shall be punished with imprisonment for a term up to three years and shall also be liable for fine… noted the point?
Now let us see what Allah Subhana wa ta’ala says in the Holy Quran about this:
Say not to anyone who greets you with the greeting of peace (Salaam), ‘Thou art not a believer’. (The Holy Qu’ran 4:95)
And again…
There are scores of statements in the authentic books of Islam where The Holy Prophet himself never judged nor did he allow his companions to judge as who is a Muslim or who isn’t.
THE VERY IMPORTANT POINT: He (saw) had said that even just believing, ‘There is no God but Allah‘ can be used as a statement for proving one as a Muslim.
About judging one’s faith a very strong statement is found in the sayings of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (saw) where he says:
“One who calls another a Kafir (disbeliever) is himself a Kafir (disbeliever).”
How plainly both Allah in the Qur’an-e-Kareem and Rasool-Allah Mohmmad (saw) in his sayings have repeated many times not to judge the faith of others for faith resides in the heart and Allah is the only one to judge on that part, …and here we have the constitution of a so-called Islamic country Pakistan and other Muslim countries which labl an entire sect of Muslims consisting of tens of millions of members in more than 206 countries, practicing Islam in its pristine purity all according to the commandments of Allah in the Qur’an-e-Majeed and according to the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammad (saw), as ‘Non-Muslims’! Wonderful!
What could we conclude…?
Ibn Ishaq said, “Muhammad bin Ja`far bin Az-Zubayr said that,”The delegation of Christians from Najran came to the Messenger of Allah (in Medina). When their worship time came, they stood up to perform their worship in the Prophet’s mosque. The Messenger of Allah said: “Let them (worship)” and they prayed towards the east.’ (Authentic hadith)
From the above hadith we can see that when The Holy Prophet s.a.w. was the ruler of Medina, he was perfectly happy for Christians to visit the city and meet him in his own mosque. There he would let them pray inside the mosque and not even pray in the direction of Mecca, but he allowed them to pray towards Jerusalem. Moreover, he also allowed Jews and people of other faiths to live peacefully in Medina (refer to the Charter of Privileges section).
This was how The Holy Prophet s.a.w. taught Muslims to treat people of other faiths. And here we have the Muslim masses of the Islamic country Pakistan who persecute almost every other religion as much possible may they be Hindus or Christians, and not to forget even their own brethren in religion, the Ahmadi Muslims, the Shia Muslims, etc.!
Perhaps it’s time that Pakistanis learn something from the above example… if they can though!
Later, when The Holy Prophet s.a.w conquered Mecca, he did not force anyone to convert. In fact, he followed the teachings of the Holy Quran: There is no compulsion in religion (The Holy Quran, 2:266)
As such, pagans and people of other faiths were allowed to continue practicing their own beliefs in peace in Mecca.
Perhaps Pakistan thinks that this policy of The Holy Prophet s.a.w’s is, God forbid, outdated for I know many cases from Pakistan where people were forcibly converted as Muslims.
I could go on giving more detailed examples, but it’s all getting very embarrassing and so I will stop.
…quite clearly Pakistan cares not the least about the commandments of Allah in the Holy Quran or Hadees of the Holy Prophet (saw).
Oh, just one more point, please:
Pakistan is today a place where ‘Blinds are leading the Blind’.
A place where people are blind in their own interpretation… the more they are getting religious the more they are treading away from honest, justice and piety. What a contrast!
Are they not defaming Islam and its Holy founder by their Un-Islamic conduct? Forcibly making people to follow their own interpretation of Islam… don’t they themselves fall into the category of Blasphemers?
Islam never prescribed any punishment for blasphemy. Prophet Muhammad (saw)’s example proves this, as he never retaliated against those who blasphemed against him or Islam.

My Prayers for all Ahmadi Muslims:
Tal Jaaye Jo Bhi Aaye Museebat Khuda Kare :: Pohnche Na Tumko Koi bhi Azeeyat Khuda Kare
Uth’ta Rahe Tarakki Ki Jaanib Qadam Humesha :: Toote Kabhi Tumhari Na Himmat Khuda Kare.
Har Gaam Par Farishton Ka Lashkar Ho Saath :: Har Mulk Me Tumhari Hifazat Khuda Kare
Raazi Raho Khuda Ki Kaza Par Hamesha Tum :: Lab Par Na Aaye Harf-E-Shikaayat Khuda Kare
Saaya Figun Rahe Wo Tumhare Wajood Par :: Shamil Rahe Khuda Ki Inaayat Khuda Kare.
Aajaaye Phir Se Daur-E-Sharafat Khuda Kare :: Aajaaye Phir Se Daur-E-Sharafat Khuda Kare… Aameen
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Points on Pakistan Deserving Immediate Attention:
Not only Ahmadi Muslims but Pakistan’s state-sponsored laws also fuel violent attacks on Jews, Christians, Hindus and even other Muslims sects: A well known example is the Shia sect.
Shias who currently face a slow-motion genocide in Pakistan at the hands of Takfiri Deobandi extremists, with at least 19,000 dead and a similar number injured or permanently maimed. Recent killings of the innocent Shia travellers have stirred our souls again – all our sympathies and prayers are with them. And as far as Hindus are concerned: Young Hindu girls are marked, abducted, raped, and forcibly converted & married. Discrimination, extortion threats, killings and religious persecution are a routine for them.
The unjustified and cruel acts of these Pakistani Ulema and their holier-than-thou attitude want to do away with every other sects of Islam & other religions… they’re now too experienced in honour killing, infidel hating, blood and gore loving as themselves.
Another insight into the life of Pakistan: Pakistan is a Muslim majority and one would expect that they follow Islam’s commandments word to word as mentioned in the Qur’an and that as Islam stands for peace it should be the most peaceful country, isn’t it? But unfortunately this is not the truth. Let me give you an example as how the Islamic country Pakistan rejects the Holy Qur’an which contains the commands straight from Allah. Allah addresses the believing men saying: Allow me to quote the verse: In chapter 24, verse 31 Allah says:
‘Say to the believing men that they restrain their looks… That is purer for them. Surely Allah is Well-Aware of what you do.
Pakistan only pretends to be an Islamic country, wait, let me show you some proof: Reuters recently reported that Pakistan is the world’s third-most dangerous country for women, after Islamic Republic of Afghanistan which again, yet very unfortunately, happens to have all Muslim populace!
If the reports from Reuters, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan and from many other websites & newspapers are to be trusted, it is absolutely confirmed that more than 1000 women are victims of “honor killings” — murders aimed at preserving the honor of male relatives – every year in Pakistan and a bigger number of women are raped yearly – research says that these recorded figures represent only a fraction of the actual attacks which take place across the country. And if you can to research for details dear reader you’ll know that chopping off fingers or cutting noses or gang rapes of women for a man’s mistakes is quite common over there and strange as it might seem to you, I must add, many of the cases are found to done on the order by the village courts… strictly official!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How’re you feeling? Don’t ask me the same, I might just…
Have you heard the recent attack on Humanity where Mad Mullahs had set a large mob on mercilessly beating, killing and burning of a mentally-ill, a vagabond after being just accused of desecrating the sanctity of the holy Quran (Charged for blasphemy)
Killing people especially by stoning or setting them on fine seems to be the latest fashion that’s catching on in Pakistan.
Yet no-one usually knows if the punished really did desecrate the Quran? Or Prophet or Allah or Islam?
Most probably s/he is just another victim of the many reasons that usually drive conniving men to whip up hatred among impressionable, frustrated people to settle personal and economic scores against enemies by accusing him/her of blasphemy. Many Hindus & Christians are regularly threatened by Pakistani extremists who wanted to burn them down: Many people have already left their homes or are hiding due to the threats.
To present just another case: An Ahmadi Muslim, Ashraf was charged with blasphemy on July 23 under Section 298-C because a text translation in his shop read, “O people of faith always speak the straight truth” which he had taken from the Holy Qur’an: How offensive is that sentence can you think?
Well, Pakistanis found it extremely offensive and so this person was sent to Central Jail Sargodha on July 24th and imprisoned where he stayed in the same section as that of murderers and prisoners on death row.
Does the Pakistani police have nothing better to do, than to register & run cases against peaceful citizens who worship Allah, or reading His message, the Qur’an-e-Kareem?
The law is taken to such an extreme that “once, an Ahmadi child who was just a few years old was sent to prison because he received an invitation card that used the word ‘Bismillah’ (meaning ‘in the name of Allah’).
I always thought that: Islam is for entire humanity and Quran is the message from our lord for all Mankind — perhaps, Pakistan doesn’t want to follow Allah’s commandments anymore… they’ve got a Mullah-God to rule, yeah!
Pakistan’s “reign of terror” against minorities is absolutely horrible! Blasphemy laws there are primarily used to settle scores, attack the mentally ill and drive out those who do not subscribe to the most conservative, even extreme, forms of Sunni Islam.
How horrible have the Pakistani become? How inflammable and helplessly retarded is Pakistan’s state institution, judiciary, politics and society! Let’s pray: May Allah save Islam from Pakistan.
Pakistan, which will soon be the most fenced-in country in the world has worn for itself the regard of a universally disliked country and though it is an Islamic country all the right-minded Muslims from all over the world hate them for every wrong they do in the name of Islam and as well step out to separate themselves from these hate-mongers.

Islam condemns all forms of Violence and Terrorism while Pakistan promotes them;
Islam is for Peace but Pakistan is for Persecution;
Allah, Islam, Quran & Prophet Muhammad preach & promote love and brotherhood: Pakistan rejects it all.
Pakistan rejects the Islamic & Quranic Commandments of peace, love, justice, equality, brotherhood and all of such noble virtues completely;
Religious persecution is totally contrary to Islam and common sense. Islam is a peaceful religion allowing freedom of speech and thought and freedom to follow once conscience.
All faith is based on an intensely personal, sensitive and private relationship with God.
My personal opinion: Religion is an absolutely personal thing: It is something which stands as a connection only between a particular person and God. It is a very delicate subject of the Heart –and– it must be taken to Heart with the submission that it deserves. Even Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:
Let religion only be for the sake of Allah. (Ch.2:V.194)
It is stated in a Hadith of the Holy Prophet (sa): Istafil qalba, that is, ask your heart for a verdict
It is to the ‘heart’ that the ‘cord’ of God is linked and no one should consider this a farfetched idea.
There is a fine connecting Arsh and Qalb, linking the Divine Throne and the spiritual heart. The Qalb [Heart] finds pleasure in its Lord God – it is not dependent upon external proofs and evidence.
In the hierarchy of values, allegiance to the Divine has absolute primacy;
And again ‘…there should be no compulsion in matters of religion… (Ch.2:V.257) and again in [Ch. 2: V.192] ‘…persecution is worse than killing.’
We were also told: …And We have not made thee a keeper over them, nor art thou over them a guardian. (Ch. 6, V.108) and here we have Pakistan, the so-called Islamic country which persecutes almost every religion: Christians, Hindus, and even Muslim sects such as Shias & Ahmadi Muslim.
Neither Allah in His Holy Qur’an nor Prophet Mohammad (saw)’s sunnat or Hadeeth grant any man the authority punish anybody for blasphemy.

Unrest in Pakistan: Let’s have a reality check done…
Pakistan today stands first in killing of innocents, destroying of Masjids, Rejecting the Messiah – the Imam of our age, persecuting his peaceful followers, misinterpreting the Quran, rejecting the truths of Mohammad (saw), and are promoting hatred towards all Muslims by all the other religions & countries.
They have introduced a new concept of Jihad and many other new nasty concepts as well and their government has taken all responsibility of continuous disturbance by including certain ordinances in their law; Mullahs are appointed there to brainwash & train the young towards terrorist activities in the name of Lord, and permission is statutorily granted to all citizens for spreading violence… and I was wondering why is there so much of unrest in Pakistan!
Pakistan incurring Allah’s wrath by hammering down HIS Names & Quranic inscriptions from walls of Ahmadi Muslim mosques; this so-called Islamic country officially demands to Erase Islamic Kalma which is the basic foundation of Islam and Pakistan also stands first in Breaking of Mosques!
This so-called Islamic country’s Book of Constitution orders Prison term for offering Salat (Namaaz) or Reading Quran or using Islamic terms such as Salaam (the greeting of peace), or saying Insha’Allah or Masah’Allah or anything which identifies with Islam. The only question that comes to my mind is: Pakistan does NOT follow Islam then why is it called an Islamic country?
Pakistan today has become a great threat to Islam or may I say humanity on the whole for Love for Humans or Humanity is NOT found in there… it instead promotes injustice, patronizes terror, hatches hatred, and helps spread violence …and we wonder why Pakistan is at the verge of Destruction!
Allah says about those who kill people in His name:
[2:12] And when it is said to them: ‘Create not disorder in the earth,’ they say: ‘We are only promoters of peace.’
[2:13] Beware! it is surely they who create disorder, but they do not perceive it.
[2:14] And when it is said to them, ‘Believe as other people have believed,’ they say: ‘Shall we believe as the fools have believed?’ Remember! it is surely they that are fools, but they do not know.
[2:15-16] And when they meet those who believe, they say: ‘We believe;’ but when they are alone with their ringleaders, they say: ‘We are certainly with you; we are only mocking.’ Allah will punish their mockery and will let them continue in their transgression, wandering blindly.
[2:17] These are they who have bartered away guidance for error; but their traffic has brought them no gain, nor are they rightly guided.
[2:18] Their case is like the case of a person who kindled a fire, and when it lighted up all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in thick darkness; they see not.
[2:19] They are deaf, dumb and blind; so they will not return.
The Mullah says that Wahy (revelations from Allah) has stopped: Innocent and/or ignorant but arrogant Muslims believe him.
But what does Allah says in the Qur’an about this?
A great verse: ‘…I am closer to him (man) than even his Jugular vein. (Ch.50:V.17)
(Man refers to Mankind)
And when My servants ask thee about Me, say: I am near. I answer the prayer of the supplicant when he prays to Me. So they should hearken to Me and believe in Me, that they may follow the right way. (Ch.2:V.187)
Every one of His creatures has the capacity to establish, maintain and strengthen communion with Him. Your Lord has said: Call on Me; I will respond to you. (Ch.40:V.61)
Mullah says that Ahmadi Muslims, Shia Muslims, Christians, Hindus, etc are all Wajib-ul-Qatl (deserved to be killed)
But what does Allah say about this in the Holy Qur’an?
[5:33] …that whosoever killed a person — unless it be for killing a person or for creating disorder in the land — it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and whoso gave life to one, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind. And Our Messengers came to them with clear Signs, yet even after that, many of them commit excesses in the land.
Let us leave the Mullah for a while, what does Allah say to people?
O ye who believe! If an unrighteous person brings you any news, investigate it fully, lest you harm a people in ignorance, and then become repentant for what you have done. [49:7]

Unrest in Pakistan today completes a prophecy of Prophet Mohammad (saw):
“There will come a time when there will be nothing left of knowledge. People will make the ignorant their leaders and will seek guidance from them in matters of religion. These leaders will issue fatwa’s without any knowledge. They will themselves be misguided and will lead others astray.” (Mishkat, Kitab ul-Ilm, Chapter 3, P. 38)
Another Hadith adds to this:
“Their mosques will apparently be full of people, but they will have no soul in them. Their Ulema will be the worst miscreants and they will be a safe haven for discord.” (Kanzal Ummal, Chapter 6, P. 43)
Shah Wali Ullah, the famous scholar of Dehli, declared two centuries ago:
“If you desire to see the example of the Jews, then just take a look at today’s evil Ulema. They only covet the world.” (Al-Fauzul-Kabir, vol. 1, chapter 1, p. 9)
Rejecting the Messiah will do no good to Pakistanis: It has only worsened their case: Let us see what the Holy Qur’an signals as a future for the disbelievers in Pakistan:
Then We sent Our Messengers one after another. Every time there came to a people their Messenger, they treated him as a liar. So We made them follow one another to destruction and We made them mere tales. Cursed, then, be the people who believe not! (Ch.23: V.45)
Therefore, opposition to Prophets was doomed to fail.
The people of Noah(as), Hud(as), Salih(as), Shu‘aib(as), etc, one after the other, met a disastrous end while those who believed among them were saved.
The disbelievers among the people of Noah(as) were drowned (Ch.7:V.65; Ch.10:V.74),
while those of the people of Hud(as) were eradicated by an earthquake (Ch.7:V.73; Ch.11:V.61).
The tribe of Thamud who were in turn also destroyed by an earthquake while they slept (Ch.11:V.68).
Another quake which rained stones and clay destroyed Lot’s people.

In the speeches made by some of the Maulvis in public meetings, the language used with reference to Ahmadi men & women and their holy founder, his successors and their families, is so filthy that it just cannot be quoted. The word ‘Qadiani’ has now turned into an abuse.
When a law abiding religion is being subjected to the worst form of religious persecution, when the pulpit of the Holy Prophet (saw), is being openly desecrated and exploited by a ruthless brand of Maulvis, when Islam is being exposed to ridicule throughout the world by totally un-Islamic and irrational demands, when men and women are being murdered in cold blood because of their faith, and when dead-bodies of Ahmadi Muslims are being pulled out of their ancestral graves… IS IT NOT the time that the free and fair-minded people of the world, especially of Pakistan that they should abandon their silence and indifference to aggression?
What saddens me is the silence of the society… its criminal!
Patience pulls me back to appeal before the world community for Justice because this society, at some level, has to solve its own problems.
“Surely, Allah changes not the condition of a people until they change that which is in their hearts.” (Al-Ra’ad, Verse 12)
We have to have voices among the people who will defy threats and dangers against mankind, who can say: “Now it’s enough.”
Where are the journalists who swear by the sanctity of their pen when they write in defence of individual rights and freedom?
Do they not see the basic right, the Human right being trampled under their own eyes? If they do, does it ever touch a sensitive cord in their conscience?
Pray, let it not be said by the future historians that when the fate of freedom, human dignity and decency hung in the balance, not a single voice was raised in their defence.

Please read the below once: These people claim to be righteous, but I want you to decide:
Is it righteous to kill children, the women, the elderly, and the other innocent people through bomb attacks?
Is it righteous to brainwash young children into suicide bombings? Apparently not!
These are all cruel attacks that have nothing to do with goodness or graciousness as Islam demands, let alone spirituality.
The Qur’an insists on the highest standards between peoples whether they are in a minority or a majority. It forbids one people from making fun, defaming, insulting, name-calling, backbiting or speaking ill of other peoples.
These noble objectives can only be achieved through love according to the Holy Prophet of Islam (saw):
‘By Him in Whose Hands is my life, you will not enter Paradise unless you believe, and you will not truly believe unless you love one another. Shall I tell you something whereby you will love one another? Multiply the greeting of peace among yourselves.’
So all doors of entering Paradise are closed for them by the own hands, it’s only that they do not know.
It is high time that the Muslim masses especially of Pakistan & Indonesia freed themselves from the yolk of evil-minded Mullahs. Frenzied violence can never be construed as love for the Holy Prophet (saw) of Islam.
‘Among the believers are men who have been true to the covenant they made with Allah. There are some of them who have fulfilled their vow, and some who still wait, and they have not changed their condition in the least; (33:24)
The character of the Holy Prophet (saw) was the Qur’an.
The appropriate reaction to propaganda against Islam Ahmadiyyat is laid down clearly therein. True Muslims must read and act upon these verses, not at the incitement of the mullahs, who, by introducing his lies into their testimony fall far short of the admonition of the Qur’an:
‘O ye who believe! Be steadfast in the cause of Allah, and let not a people’s enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just, that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah. Surely, Allah is aware of what you do. (Ch.5LV.9)
The holy Qur’an has given proper guidance on how people should react to profane or blasphemous propaganda in the following verses:
And He has already revealed to you in the Book that when you hear the Signs of Allah being denied and mocked at, sit not with them (those who indulge in such talk) until they engage in some other talk; for in that case you would be like them. Surely Allah will assemble the hypocrites and the disbelievers in Hell, all together. (Ch.4:V141)
If you have ever read Quran-e-Paak, then tell me:
Where has Quran-e-Kareem taught us to carry out mindless acts of violence and mass killing in response to profane or blasphemous speech or writing?
These Mullahs neither follow the holy script, the word of God, Qur’an nor the practices of our Rasool-Allah (saw) – All they want is to reign over the innocent masses in the name of Allah and his Prophet. These mullahs have little regard for the Qur’an and for the example of Messenger of Allah (sa); these are actually selfish people that play politics in the name of Allah and his Messenger! We Muslims need to rid of these evil-minded mullahs as early possible.
And say to My servants that they should always speak what is best. Surely, Satan stirs up discord among them. Surely, Satan is an open enemy to man. (Ch.17:V.54)
God warns Muslims not to abuse the Gods of other faiths even if they are idol-worshippers.Qur’an in Surah Al-An’am again taking such a course of action:
And if Allah had enforced His will, they would not have set up gods with him. And We have not made thee a keeper over them, nor art thou over them a guardian. And abuse not those whom they call upon beside Allah, lest they, out of spite, abuse Allah in their ignorance. Thus unto every people have We caused their doing to seem fair. Then unto their Lord is their return; and He will inform them of what they used to do. (Ch. 6, V.108-109)
We Muslims need to take heed of the Qur’an instead of these Mullahs – Qur’an is the word of Allah. This is the real message delivered to you by your Prophet (saw), isn’t it?
Or are Mullah’s orders more important to you? I’m afraid of hearing a ‘Yes’ from few Muslims now and… It should not be a surprise; I’m not sure, however. I want to be wrong.
‘You will meet those who remember Almighty Allah in their houses of worship. Have no dispute with them, and give no trouble to them. In the enemy country, do not kill any women or children, or the blind, or the old. Do not pull down any tree; nor pull down any building.’ (Quoted from Halbiyyah, Vol.3).
Don’t be among the disbelievers, people for Allah says about them:
[46:27] …We gave them ears and eyes and hearts. But their ears and their eyes and their hearts availed them naught since they denied the Signs of The One-God; and that at which they used to mock encompassed them.

Muslims hang their heads in shame and their souls cry out over today’s religious leaders who preach violence in the name of the Prophet (saw).
These are the questions we should all think seriously about. Muslims should consider the attitude of these Ulema (mullahs) as because suppression, torture, execution, arson and the razing of mosques are not the traditions of His Holiness Prophet Mohammad (saw).
Will Muslims believe their God or will they continue to depend upon the Mullah to mislead them into further disorder? Let the individuals decide.
Dear Muslims – Learn the right way:
For any statement you hear about religion: First look for it in the Book of Allah (Quran).
And if you do not find the answer there, seek it in the example of the Prophet (Hadith).
And if you still find no answer then call the lord to help you. That is the right way.
Do not blindly follow what someone else has said… because, you know ‘on the Day of Judgment’ you will be held responsible for your deeds, not some mullah or your country’s constitution, or your parents, or the minister of your country or your king. You – only “You Alone” will be held responsible for your deeds.
Ch.6:V.69: And when thou seest those who engage in vain discourse concerning Our Signs, then turn thou away from them until they engage in a discourse other than this. And if Satan should cause thee to forget, then sit not, after recollection, with the unjust people. And those who are righteous are not at all accountable for them, but their duty is to admonish them that they may fear Allah.
[2:191] And fight in the cause of Allah against those who fight against you, but do not transgress. Surely, Allah loves not the transgressors.
‘…If an unrighteous person brings you any news, ascertain the correctness of the report fully…’ (al-Hujurat 49:7)
In the Holy Qur’an, Allah says:
Whosoever killed a person for an offence, unless it be for killing a person or for creating disorder in the land, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind... (Ch.5:V.33)
In all these verses of the Qur’an and the Traditions of the Prophet the word ‘soul’ (nafs) has been used in general terms without any distinction or particularization which might have lent itself to the elucidation that the persons belonging to one’s nation, the citizens of one’s country, the people of a particular race or religion should not be killed.’
The injunction applies to all human beings and the destruction of human life in itself has been prohibited.’
Based on the Holy Quran and the tradition of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), no Government or individual has any right to declare whether a person is Muslim or not because faith resides in one’s heart and only God can judge about it (according to the Holy Quran).
Don’t assume that learning Qur’an and Hadees or following Islamic customs is only suited to professional Mullahs/Moulanas etc. or that it is something only reserved for Ramadan…. NO! It is the job of all of us to not only read but also understand the verses of the Qur’an and follow them in our daily lives and even teach and ask others for the same… And you’ll find it all very easy and interesting… Insha’Allah
I have already responded to all allegations against Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya, however, if few of you still insist that they are wrong then I give this challenge again to all of you (especially Mullahs) to come forward and accept my challenge. Anyone can come to accept this as this is to everybody out there who opposes us, but be bold enough, as now you are standing right against Allah, the lord of the worlds!

Now let’s have a check into history as how was Prophet Mohammad’s attitude towards other religions:
Letter of Muhammad (saw) to various kings surrounding the Arab peninsula declaring his intentions for peace and co-operation. Among these letters included one written in 628 CE to the monks of the St. Catherine Monastery in Mt. Sinai.
In it, he issues a ‘Charter of Privileges’ offering secure protection of fundamental human rights to Christians living in the Muslim empire. He declares:
This is a message from Muhammad, son of Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, that we are with them. Verily, I, the servants, the helpers, and my followers defend them because Christians are my citizens; and, by Allah, I hold out against anything that displeases them. No compulsion is to be on them. Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries. No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims’ houses. Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God’s covenant and disobey His Prophet.
Verily, they are my allies and have my sincere charter against all that they hate. No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight. The Muslims are to fight for them. …. Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants. No one of the nation of Muslims is to disobey this covenant until the Last Day of Judgment.
Today those Pakistani clerics declare (& follow) that Ahmadi Muslims are Wajib-ul-Qatl (obligatory to be killed). And that pamphlet, circulated in Faisalabad District of Punjab Province, read, “To shoot such people is an act of jihad and to kill such people is an act of sawab (blessing).
It’s true that the Pakistani Ulemas/Mullahs are uniformly responsible for all of this murders by passing Fatwa’s against Ahmadi’s, calling them Wajibul Qatl (worthy of death) but mark my words:
Blood is on the hands of every Pakistani politician, judge, lawyer, journalist, and every citizen who has turned a blind eye to this vicious suffering. Only God knows what will it take for them to open their eyes.
Not one Pakistani can claim that they are unaware of the happenings. Almost every Paki is made to sign an oath saying: “I consider Mirza Ghulam Ahmad an impostor prophet. And also consider his followers, whether belonging to the Lahori or Qadiani group, to be non-Muslims.” Do you deny it?
I wish to ask every single Muslim of this world: Aren’t you aware of what your people are doing in Pakistan? Do you think that they’re correct in their doings? Are they following the model of Mohammad (saw)? Are they following the commands of the Holy Qur’an? D’u support them? Is there any special book written specially for the Sunni-Muslims where they’re given dominion over the rest of Muslims sects? Are Muslims granted permission to kill anybody & everybody they want to?
If not, then why don’t you STOP them? At least try once: you have innumerable resources to use. These Mullahs & Muftis are spoiling the spirit of Islam… How can you be quiet? Doesn’t it bother you a bit?
You do not have the right to remain silent!
Remember, you’ll b answerable to Allah… As what did you do to stop it? At the least you could pray, or can you not? And, you can spread the truth about Islam to all you can, can you not?
For me, the silence of the majority of Muslims today is exceedingly criminal.
I am shocked to see how can the other Paki citizens act as unaware or easily ignore the frightful happenings occurring right before their eyes in their own country to their own people! Shocked to see how a very small number comes forward to speak or protest against those Mullahs who leave no room to incite the innocent young minds and the old faithful to run rallies against the peaceful Ahmadi Muslims or Shia.
Pakistanis seem to learn nothing: neither their history could teach them anything nor from their current circumstances: They continue to support the very people who are responsible for their country’s continuous damage.
‘Is it not shameful that a complete stranger should be unjustly killed, thus widowing his wife, making his children orphans, and turning his house into a funeral parlour? Which Hadith or verse of the Holy Qur’an authorises such behaviour?
Is there any Maulawi who can respond? Foolish people hear the word Jihad, and make it an excuse for the fulfilment of their own selfish desires. Or perhaps it is sheer madness that inclines them towards bloodshed.
My dear Pakistanis: Please STOP being Mullah Ke Ghulam… Try to be Allah Ke Ghulam
(Stop being ‘Slave of the Mullah’ Try to be ‘Slave of the Allah)
How dreadful is it to allow the wrongdoers continue and to help them using their skills in newspapers, radio, television, press, and most of all to obey to what all nonsense those Mullahs boast. One of the countless, debilitating endemic problems with anti-Ahmadiyya hate sites is that they provide a platform for any old ignoramus to pose as a scholar and offer his own opinions as ‘Islam,’ whilst providing no supporting evidence whatsoever. The short sentences they use, the catchy rhetoric such as ‘New prophet, new religion’ and their fancy pseudo-intellectual phrases distort important theological discussions with pithy remarks. Such commentators sound so clever and so gleefully pleased with themselves.
Not one of the non-Ahmadi Muslim commentators, in their mind-blowing programs manage to provide a single quotation from either The Holy Qu’ran or sunnah or ahadith to back up their opinions. Such people seem to become so enamoured with their own reasoning that they place themselves on a pedestal and genuinely believe that using powerful rhetoric in their writing is more important than actually paying any heed to any of the teachings of The Holy Prophet s.a.w. or the Holy Quran.
No Pakistani can be called innocent! All of these will definitely have a share in the wrath of Allah, there’s certainly no doubt about it. Unfortunately, in Pakistan, the Wahabbi thinking has been so deeply entrenched that now they do not even need a Mullah to make a speech to rouse the masses. Their heroes are not Prophet Muhammad (saw) or Ali Jinnah but they are a nation adrift. They follow the morally corrupt, and they are roused to frenzy by the hypocritical voices of hate, garbed in beards and turbans, hijabs and niqabs!
Anti-Ahmadi law is an insult to the secular vision of our great Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Jinnah had clearly warned that “Religion should not be allowed to come into politics…religion is merely a matter between man and God” in his address to the Central Legislative Assembly in February 1935.
I know… I very well know that NOT everybody in the country is bad… but as we’ve seen majority of Pakistanis do not care to protest for removal of the Anti-Ahmadi amendments in their constitution.
Yet again there were chances to ignore it, but everybody can stand as witness to the fact that many Pakistanis support the government and accept whatever it says, moreover they’re doing their best to keep up with the commands, ignoring the fact that neither Islam, nor Qur’an, nor any Hadees of our Master Mohammad (saw) taught it.
Undoubtedly so, all Pakistanis stand fairly responsible for all happenings and all will undoubtedly deserve a share in the wrath of Allah. Mark my words! Allah himself has shown signs of his wrath to them yet none seems to understand… Just have a look at Pakistan today and tell me if you don’t find it ‘cursed by the Lord’.
[10:102] …‘Consider what is happening in the heavens and the earth.’ But Signs and Warners avail not a people who will not believe.
I warn all the Mullahs around the world – Stop misguiding the Ummah! Your consequences will be scary and the outcome will be horrible as warned in the Qur’an! Be informed!
Do a lot of Astaghfar and Insha’Allah God will save you… Remember, only Allah can save you, Not the Mullahs!
Don’t stand against the Lord, repent, or you shall be destroyed.
Allah says, “Those who will repent and will reform their ways, to them I shall then turn and I am Oft-turning with Mercy, and Ever-Merciful. There are people for whom We have made the guidance easy and there are people for whom punishment has been decreed. They plan and Allah also plans. Allah is the Best of Planners; and the plan of Allah is exceedingly great.”
Blessed are those who take heed of the divine signs, recognize the Reformer of the age and come under the banner of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and those who are steadfast in their allegiance to the institution of Khilafat. May Allah shower His Blessings on them. Ameen!
O Reader! Understand this if you can.
My dear Pakistanis, I urge you to follow the real Islam bought by our Master & Savior Prophet Mohammad (saw): Please STOP being MULLAH KE GHULAM… Try to be ALLAH KE GHULAM
(Stop being ‘Slave of the Mullah’ Try to be ‘Slave of the Allah’)
And know,
And follow not that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the ear and the eye and the heart – all these shall be called to account. (Ch.17:V.37)
[16:105] As for those who do not believe in the Signs of Allah, surely, Allah will not guide them, and they shall have a grievous punishment.
O Ye who believe! Fear Allah, and say the right word. He will bless your works for you and forgive you your sins. And whoso obeys Allah and His Messenger, shall surely attain a mighty success. (Ch.33:Vs.71-72)
A note to Pakistanis from Qur’an-e-Majeed:
[16: 37] And WE did raise among every people a Messenger…Then among them were some whom ALLAH guided and among them were some who became deserving of ruin. So travel through the earth and see what was the end of those who treated the prophets as liars!
‘The messengers are sent because thy Lord would not destroy the towns unjustly while their people were unwarned.’ (Ch6:V132)
[14:10] Have not the tidings come to you of those before you, the people of Noah, and the tribes of ‘Ad and Thamud, and those after them? None knows them now save Allah. Their Messengers came to them with clear Signs, but they turned their hands to their mouths, and said, ‘We disbelieve in that with which you have been sent and surely, we are in disquieting doubt concerning that to which you call us.’
Pakistan is clearly warned and if it doesn’t change its ways, future generations will have just another example to see of Allah’s wrath! Be warned!
All of you, even now, have all chances to save yourself, your country and your generations to come.
Be like an Ahmadi Muslim, have the courage to accept truth… Where does your loyalty lie? Towards the Mullah? Or towards Your Allah?
Innocence can be forgiven, God knows what is in your heart, but when truth is wilfully ignored or rejected knowingly then you will be numbered among the disbelievers and held responsible for your acts.
O Believers! O Momins! Try to understand Islam Ahmadiyyat and you’ll see divine changes happening within yourself and you’ll get better in your spiritual status before Allah. Your way to reach your Lord, Allah, will be clear and you’ll get the sight to see your lord in this very life. Being righteous was never so easy.
Say:
[3:54] ‘Our Lord, we believe in that which Thou hast sent down and we follow this Messenger. So write us down among those who bear witness.’
[18:11] ‘Our Lord, bestow upon mercy from Thyself, and furnish us with right guidance in our affair.’
[26:84] ‘My Lord, bestow wisdom on me and join me with the righteous;
[26:85] ‘And Grant me true and lasting reputation among posterity;

Peace in Pakistan:
Pakistan as a nation must face that it stands in complicit silence and tacit agreement with all that brutalizes its minorities. The greatest loss of self-respect is when one falls in one’s own estimation. Pakistanis hate each other, harbour fanatics, kill their brothers and condone murder.
Pakistan is recognized worldwide as an Islamic Country with majority of Muslim population, yet it is the one which has defamed Islam to such such measures that are extremely extremely extremely regrettable!
How good it would have been if it had followed only the truth recorded from Allah in the Holy Qur’an and the ways of Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) – It could have stood as a strong example for pride of Islam… it could then be really called Pakistan in the real sense.
My dear Pakistanis, it is time to shape the constitutional principles of Pakistan according to the vision of Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, who spoke to his constituent assembly on August 11, 1947:
‘… You may belong to any religion or caste or creed — that has nothing to do with the business of the state.’
But his vision has been shamelessly forgotten as well as intentionally ignored.
It is time to shift the emphasis from religious ideology to fundamental rights of individuals and political rights of the constituent units of the federation. The religious belief of a person or a community should in no manner impair their rights — both in law and practice.
As Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:
And set things right among yourselves. (Ch.8:V.2)
And reconciliation is best. (Ch.4:V.129)
And if they incline towards peace, incline you also towards it. (Ch.8:V.62)
And the servants of the Gracious God are those who walk on the earth in a dignified manner. (Ch.25:V.64)
Repel evil with that which is best. And lo, he between whom and yourself was enmity will become as though he were a warm friend. (Ch.41:V.35)
Pakistan must champion Islam as a religion of peace and not allow a handful of extremists to define it for all Muslims; such extremists confuse ordinary Muslims into thinking that Sharia law is about punishment rather than about promoting harmony and human flourishing.
The Muslims in Pakistan must display the highest expression of Islamic values and principles.
They must manifest the mercy and wisdom of the first generation of Muslims, the Sahaba who only and perfectly followed the footsteps of the Mercy for Mankind, Rasool Allah (saw). And pray:
[2:129] ‘Our Lord, make us submissive to Thee and make of our offspring a people submissive to Thee. And show us our ways of worship, and turn to us with mercy; for Thou art Oft-Returning with compassion and Merciful.
Muslims must be characterized by loving humanity, by upholding justice and by showing kindness toward their neighbors, even to the extent that should someone offer you a deadly poison, give him the choicest honey in exchange. Within Islamic history, true Muslims are known for such qualities. It is time again to take up that mantle and act always in the name of God, the most compassionate, the merciful —bism Allahi al-raHmān al-raHīm.
It is plainly obvious to the intelligentsia that the foundations of our country’s present misery were in fact laid in 1974. We pray that Allah may enlighten the nation and help adopt the noble charter which the Quaid-e-Azam prescribed for the nation, and which reflected his vision for this country. He said: “You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed— that has nothing to do with the business of the State …. We are starting with this fundamental principle that we are all citizens and equal citizens of one State ….
My dear Pakistanis: Our nation (Pakistani) is being administered the punishment (Azaab) from ALLAH because; this nation has consistently denied/rejected the messengers of ALLAH. Our nation rejected the messengers of Allah, even before seeing them and before hearing their messages. Pakistani Nation and all other nations who have adopted that NOTION of ending the prophets are all suffering similar punishments by Allah. Although, I am concerned for other Muslim nations as well but my special concern is for my Pakistani Nation.
This situation can only be changed by ALLAH himself.
NO Planning, No political changes, NO Economic planning or designs can reverse this situation of our nation, UNLESS seek forgiveness from our ALLAH.
All, I am saying is that we must do the FIRST THING FIRST. We (Pakistani Nation) must seek forgiveness of our ALLAH and convince ALLAH, that we shall not reject his messengers, who are sent for delivering us the message of our ALLAH.
Yes, I do AGREE that we SHALL have to work hard, plan, care, strive, and improve etc……but that part of our actions will be after, receiving forgiveness and blessings or our Almighty Allah. We must search, find and obey the advice of our ALLAH, which is described in the Holy Qur’an.
O, the people of my nation, Please, LISTEN TO THESE WORDS OF YOUR ALLAH. Do not IGNORE his advice. Please, become vigilant and wise. Please, remember that it is the greatest — misfortune, of any nation when they start IGNORING the words of ALLAH because of the influence of their society, friends, and corrupt leaders.
The Only Way to Ensure Peace
Our duty is to consider each and every person to be a Muslim, who believes in “La ilaaha illa Allaho, Muhammad-ur-Rasool-Allah,” (viz. “There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”) and gives up the practice of pronouncing Muslims to be kaafirs. It is about time we made it a legal offence to indulge in takfeer-e-Muslimeen (declaring Muslims to be kaafirs) so that Islamic society gets rid of this curse forever.” [The Daily Aafaaq, 5th December, 1952]
Let me conclude in the words of our dear Quaid-e-Azam:
“Now I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find that in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State.” [Quaid-e-Azam’s Address of 11 August 1947, to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan]
A Warning in the Words of Allah:
[7:95] And never did We send a Prophet to any town but We seized the people thereof with adversity and suffering, that they might become humble.
[7:96] Then We changed their evil condition into good until they grew in affluence and number and said, ‘Suffering and happiness betided our fathers also.’ Then We seized them suddenly, while they perceived not.
[7:97] And if the people of those towns had believed and been righteous, We would have surely opened for them blessings from heaven and earth; but they disbelieved, so We seized them because of that which they earned.

The Promised Prophet, Hazrath Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) had guided me right saying:
The heart which has even an ounce of Hatred or Malice can’t belong to my community and one such can’t be among my followers.
So, come join me to pray for ‘Peace in Pakistan’
Come, let us turn towards the one lord and pray for peace in Pakistan. Let’s pray that God guides the wrongdoers and leads them along the right path, may they follow the words of Allah (the Holy Quran) and the commands of Chief of Prophets, Prophet Mohammad (saw) and open their hearts towards truth and accept the Prophet of our time, Insha’Allah. May God bless them, Aameen, Summa Aameen.
But if they behave arrogantly and continue to disbelieve and disobey and don’t want to change their ways then let us pray: O Allah! We make you a shield against enemies and we take refuge in Thee from their evils.
Allah says in The Holy Qur’an:
[9:80] Ask thou forgiveness for them, or ask thou not forgiveness for them; even if thou ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never forgive them. That is because they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger. And Allah guides not the perfidious people.
However, the Lovely, Ever-Forgiving Lord also adds in Ch. 8 Vs. 39:
Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which is past will be forgiven them; and if they return thereto, then verily, the example of the former peoples has already gone before them.
The best solution to end religious violence in Pakistan is to establish a secular state allowing everyone to follow his/her faith. First and foremost act is to call back the Ordinance XX cancelling all its sections and should re-include Islam Ahmadiyyat into the fold of Muslims and spread this message with as much love as was the dimension of hate earlier.
All my best prayers are with Pakistan: I pray that Pakistan becomes a real world Paradise showing abundance of love for all humanity henceforth setting a real-life example of ‘Re-born from the Ashes’ phenomenon.
Pray that may God remove the cruelty that is being perpetrated in the name of God and His Prophet in Pakistan.
I hope that they accept the Maseeh that has come in the garb of Jesus to prove his truth to the Christians and Jews, to lead the Muslims in the name of Imam Al’Mahdi and Maseeh-e-Maood…
Let us all pray earnestly & hope that Pakistan reforms itself, breaks the binding chains of Mullahic Islam and wears the garb of Mohammadian Islam. Insha’Allah, Insha’Allah, Insha’Allah
All join with me to say: Pakistan – Zindabad!
Er… Biggest problem that I see in here now is that: My message is for the Pakistani society and it is a country with all Urdu speaking people and here I am writing this message in English. I wish and hope that: My message will be translated without a change of dot and printed and distributed and explained and understood. Only Allah knows my hopes and so I’ll only say Insha’Allah, Insha’Allah, Insha’Allah, this will happen.

Persecution of Ahmadiyya around the world
Persecution of Ahmadiyya is happening in other countries as well. Indonesia comes next after Pakistan followed by Bangladesh, Egypt, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and very recently the secular and tolerant country India also joined this list of persecuting countries, thou to a lower degree yet and God’s grace upon its constitutional section which rejected to follow the footsteps of its brother.
The Saudi Arabian government has denied Ahmadi Muslims their right to perform Hajj. For them Allah says:
[Al Qur’an-e-Kareem: Ch. 8: Vs. 35]:
And what excuse have they now that Allah should not punish them, when they hinder men from the Sacred Mosque, and they are not its true guardians? Its true guardians are only those who are righteous, but most of them know not.
And Allah Warns in [22: 26]:
As to those who disbelieve and hinder men from the way of ALLAH and from the Sacred Mosque, which WE have appointed equally for the benefit of ALL men, be they dwellers therein or visitors from the desert, and whoso seeks wrongfully to deviate therein from the right path – WE shall cause him to taste of a grievous punishment.
In the majority of Muslim countries Ahmadi Muslims are forbidden to propagate, Only because we chose to proclaim that God has again blessed mankind with a Messenger, who came in the name of Messiah, to revive all religions and teach peace and love for all and hatred for none.
The persecution against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community may continue, but the members will abide by the edict of the Holy Qur’an, follow foot-steps of our Master Mohammad (saw) and march along the guiding lines of set by Khalifa. They will persevere with patience, prayers and steadfastness. They will never resort to anger or violence, but with love and tolerance.
Disbelievers of today are the same as Disbelievers at the time of Mohammad (saw). They died disgracefully and till today, even 1400 years later we curse them. Disbelievers of today still stand a chance to save themselves though.
Quran is very clear about the disbelievers & their destiny:
[2:7] Those who have disbelieved — it is alike to them whether thou warn them or warn them not — they will not believe.
[2:12] And when it is said to them: ‘Create not disorder in the earth,’ they say: ‘We are only promoters of peace.’
[2:13] Beware! It is surely they who create disorder, but they do not perceive it.
[16:114] And indeed there has come to them a Messenger from among themselves, but they treated him as a liar…
[2:14] And when it is said to them, ‘Believe as other people have believed,’ they say: ‘Shall we believe as the fools have believed?’ Remember! It is surely they that are the fools, but they do not know.
[2:16] Allah will punish their mockery and will let them continue in their transgression, wandering blindly.
[2:19] They are deaf, dumb and blind; so they will not return.
[54:53] And everything they have done is recorded in the Books.
[54:54] And every matter, small and great, is written down.
[5:72] And they imagined that no punishment would result from their conduct, so they became blind and deaf. But Allah turned to them in mercy; yet again many of them became blind and deaf; and Allah is Watchful of what they do.
[4:168] Those who disbelieve and hinder others from the way of Allah, have certainly strayed far away.
Surely, those who distort Our signs to seek deviation therein, are not hidden from Us. Is he, then who is cast into the Fire better, or he who comes to Us safe on the Day of Resurrection? (Ch.41: Vs.41)
[33:68] And they will say, ‘Our Lord, we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones and they led us astray from the [right] way.
[3:150] O ye who believe! If you obey those who have disbelieved, they will cause you to turn back on your heels, and you will become losers.
Until, when death comes to one of them, he says entreating, ‘My Lord, send me back, that I may do righteous deeds in the life that I have left behind’. Never, it is but a word that he utters. And behind them is a barrier until the day when they shall be raised again. (Ch.23:Vs.100-101)
But, those who disbelieve and reject Our Signs, these shall be the inmates of The Fire, wherein they shall abide; and an evil destination it is! (64:11)
And they shall have a grievous punishment. And let not the disbelievers think that Our granting them respite is good for them; the result of Our granting them respite will only be that they will increase in sin; and they shall have a humiliating punishment. (Ch.3:Vs.178-179)
We have shown him the Way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful. (Ch.75:V.4)
We can only hope and pray that ALL WORLD PEOPLE will follow the advice God made the Holy Prophet(saw) give to the Makkans:
Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which is past will be forgiven them; and if they return thereto, then verily, the example of the former peoples has already gone before them. (Ch.8:V.39)
Never sent We a Messenger or a Prophet before thee, but when he sought to attain what he aimed at, Satan put obstacles in the way of what he sought after. But Allah removes the obstacles that are placed by Satan. Then Allah firmly establishes His Signs. And Allah is All-Knowing, Wise. (Ch.22: V.53)
Then We sent Our Messengers one after another. Every time there came to a people their Messenger, they treated him as a liar. So We made them follow one another to destruction and We made them mere tales. Cursed, then, be the people who believe not! (Ch.23: V.45)
Surely, there have been many dispensations before you; so travel through the earth and see how evil was the end of those who treated the Prophets as liars. (Ch.3:V.138)
Verily, those who malign Allah and His messenger – Allah has cursed them in this world and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them an abasing punishment. (Ch. 33:Vs. 58)
O People of the Book! There has come to you Our Messenger who unfolds to you much of what you had kept hidden of the Book and passes over much. There has come to you indeed from Allah a Light and a clear Book. (Ch.5:V.16)
And follow not that of which thou hast no knowledge. Verily, the ear and the eye and the heart – all these shall be called to account. (Ch.17:V.37)
And if Allah were to punish men for their wrongdoing, He would not leave on the earth a living creature, but He gives them respite till an appointed term, and when their term is come, they cannot remain behind a single hour, nor can they go ahead of it. (16:62)
And those who reject Our Signs, punishment will touch them, because they disobeyed. (Ch6:V50)
[12:106] And how many a Sign is there in the heavens and the earth, which they pass by, turning away from it.
[12:108] Do they, then, feel secure from the coming on them of an overwhelming punishment from Allah or the sudden coming of the Hour upon them while they are unaware?
[12:110] And We sent not before thee as Messengers any but men, whom We inspired, from among the people of the towns. Have they not then travelled in the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? And surely, the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who fear God. Will you not then understand?
[14:47] And they have already made their designs; but their designs are with Allah. And even though their designs be such as to make the mountains move, they cannot succeed.
[16:89] As for those who disbelieve and turn men away from the way of Allah, We will add punishment to their punishment because they acted corruptly.
[10:101] And He causes His wrath descend on those who will not use their reason (judgment).
[19:40] And warn them of the day of grief when the matter will be decided. But now they are in a state of carelessness, so they do not believe.
‘…He has the power to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet…’ (Ch6:V66)
[10:102] ‘Ponder over what is happening in the heavens and the earth.’ But Signs and Warnings avail not a people who will not believe.
[21:2] Nigh unto men has drawn their reckoning, yet they turn away in heedlessness.
[21:3] There comes not to them any new admonition from their Lord, but they listen to it while they make sport of it.
[4:18] Verily, Allah accepts the repentance of only those who do evil ignorantly and then repent soon after. These are they to whom Allah turns with mercy; and Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.
[4:19] There is no acceptance of repentance for those who continue to do evil until, when death faces one of them, he says, ‘I do repent now;’ nor for those who die disbelievers. It is these for whom We have prepared a painful punishment.
[33:65] Allah has surely cursed the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a blazing fire,
[33:66] Wherein they will abide for ever. They will find therein no friend nor helper.
[33:67] On the day when their faces are turned over in the Fire, they will say, ‘Oh, would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger!’
[19:39] How wonderful will their hearing and seeing be on the day when they will come to Us! But today the wrongdoers are in manifest error.
[21:101] Therein, groaning will be their lot and they will not hear therein anything else.
‘… And only if thou couldst only see, when the wrongdoers are in the agonies of death…. …This day shall you be awarded the punishment of disgrace because of that which you spoke against Allah falsely and because you turned away from His Signs with disdain.’ (Ch6:V94) [3:150] اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو! اگر تم نے ان لوگوں کی اطاعت کی جو کافر ہوئے تو وہ تمہیں تمہاری ایڑیوں کے بَل لوٹا دیں گے۔ پھر تم نقصان اٹھاتے ہوئے لوٹو گے۔
May God, the Merciful, touch the hearts of their leaders and open the eyes of the Mullahs and their followers to see the light and retrace their steps before it is too late. The warnings are clear; anyone who rejects a Messenger of God will have to contend with God.
And We sent none as Messengers before thee, but men to whom We sent revelation. So ask those who are well versed in scriptures, if you know not. And We did not give them bodies that ate no food, nor were they to live forever. (Ch.21:Vs.8)

God’s curse upon the disbelievers of HIS PROPHET:
By doing such dreadful acts which violate not only the teachings of God in the Holy Quran but also these defame the name of The Holy Prophet, the people of Pakistan, Indonesia and other countries have invoked God’s wrath. The cruel people in Pakistan, Indonesia where Ahmadiyya persecution is extreme, are already suffering under God’s punishment. Clear proofs to God’s warning for torturing and martyring the followers of The Promised Messiah have come. In there are signs for those who can see.
[27:51] And they planned a plan, and We planned a plan, but they perceived it not.
[27:52] Then see how evil was the end of their plan! Verily, We utterly destroyed them and their people all together.
[27:53] And yonder are their houses fallen down, because of their wrongdoing. In that, verily, is a Sign for a people who possess knowledge.
[27:54] And We saved those who believed and feared God.
[11:103] Such is the grasp of thy Lord when He seizes the cities while they are doing wrong. Surely, His grasp is grievous and severe.
[11:104] In that surely is a Sign for him who fears the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a day for which all mankind shall be gathered together and that is a day the proceedings of which shall be witnessed by all.
Has not the story reached them of those before them — the people of Noah, ‘Ad, and Thamud, and the people of Abraham, and the dwellers of Midian, and the cities which were overthrown? Their Messengers came to them with clear Signs. So Allah would not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. (Al-Taubah Ch. 9 : Verse 70)
[4:171] O mankind, the Messenger has indeed come to you with Truth from your Lord; believe therefore, it will be better for you. But if you disbelieve, verily, to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and in the earth. And Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.
[3:64] But if they turn away, then remember that Allah fully knows the mischief-makers.
[2:7] Those who have disbelieved — it is alike to them whether thou warn them or warn them not — they will not believe.
[2:12] And when it is said to them: ‘Create not disorder in the earth,’ they say: ‘We are only promoters of peace.’
[2:13] Beware! It is surely they who create disorder, but they do not perceive it.
[5:72] And they thought that no punishment would result from their conduct, so they became blind and deaf. But Allah turned to them in mercy; yet again many of them became blind and deaf; and Allah is Watchful of what they do.
[2:14] And when it is said to them, ‘Believe as other people have believed,’ they say: ‘Shall we believe as the fools have believed?’ Remember! It is surely they that are the fools, but they do not know.
[2:16] Allah will punish their mockery and will let them continue in their transgression, wandering blindly.
[3:57] ‘…as for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world and in the next, and they shall have no helpers.
Fate of General Zia-ul-Haq of Pakistan:
General Zia-ul-Haq had vowed that he would eradicate Ahmadiyyat from the face of the earth and in order to do so had committed atrocities against this peaceful community. Repeated warnings were given by the Head of the Ahmadiyya Community to him yet he did not refrain.
The Ahmadiyya community tried every effort to make Zia understand that he is wronging his own soul by indulging in the anti-Ahmadiyya activities. Khalifa of Islam Ahmadiyyat even said to him that if he simply keep quiet and ignore the anti Ahmadiyya activities than he would not come under the knife and Allah would spare him. But when he did not do so and continued in his atrocities against Jamaat then finally Allah showed the Khalifa of time Hazrath Mirza Tahir Ahmad (ra) in a vision that the final verdict of Allah was issued about Zia. The Khalifa announced it in the Friday Sermon of 12th August that now nothing could save Zia from the wrath of Allah. After that Friday Sermon, a week was not passed when Gen Zia was whipped out from the face of the earth.
“ZIA BLOWN OUT OF SKY” were a newspaper’s headlines on 17th August – God Almighty handed down His sentence and Zia with his military plane exploded in mid air.
Allah had destroyed the Pharaoh of our time.
Not even a single piece was spared from his body. For Pharaoh of Moses, Allah saved his body so that it remained a sign for mankind. But for this Pharaoh, i.e. Gen Zia-ul-Haq, his body was completely destroyed and only artificial teeth were found which together with the ashes of him and the Jewish ambassador were collected and sealed.
Isn’t it now clear enough for all to understand that Taqdeer-e-Ilahi (divine destiny) is leading our way?
However we, Ahmadi Muslims, feel great sorrow that these cruelties which are conducted by so-called Muslims in the name of God and His Prophet Muhammad and thereby are tarnishing the pure name of Islam.
Ahmadi Muslims are a people who stand firmly for the supremacy of Law, for toleration and for peaceful co-existence. This image is a vital part of our global mission and we shall do everything in our power to uphold that image, whatever the provocation. Our peaceful posture is, however, based on faith, strength and sacrifice and not on weakness or expediency.
Motto of Jama’at-e-Ahmadiyya Alamgeer: Love for All, Hatred for None.
Conclusively One Can Say:
The ominous patch of cloud which was ignored despite warning signals, is now turning itself into a thunderous storm and may take its toll of many a ship in mid-ocean. To an observer it may seem that the tiny boat of Ahmadiyyat is also heading full sail straight into the eye of the cyclone. That may seem so, but let no one have an anxious moment regarding its fate. The boat has weathered many a storm; it is destined to survive and to sail on.
‘…for the undaunted boat is flying the flag of Hazrath Mohammad Mustafa (saw), and watching over its safety is Allah, the Lord – Wiser than the wisest and Mightier than the mightiest.’
Subhan’Allah-e-wAl’humdulillah-e-wa-La ilaha illallahu-wAllahuakbar

Conditions of the 72 Sects of Muslims today & their Islam
I’m not sure as which Islam or which Mohammad do the people of Pakistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh and many other countries follow:
Islam stands for peace and refers to complete submission; and complete obedience to Islam demands complete obedience to its beliefs in all prophets, prophecies and their books.
Complete obedience is not seen in these the 72 sections of Muslims (Sunni, Shia, etc) as they do not believe in His Holiness Hazrath Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (pbuh) who had come as The Promised Messiah, The Mahdi and as the re-advent of Jesus by qualifying all of the prophecies said about him. These lot of Muslims in fact have out rightly rejected the Messiah and also are killing his peaceful people who follow him by the command of Allah & His chief of prophets Mohammad Mustafa (saw).
Now every individual can see that ‘submission’ is not an attribute of these lot;
Peace is not an attribute of many of these as they follow a very wrong and new concept of Jihad invented by their own selves to suit their egoistic philosophies & political concepts where they kill masses at once by various methods and not only this they also promote, not peace but hatred & violence world-wide through their speeches, newspapers, radio, Television programs & now internet.
Now every individual can see that ‘peace’ is not an attribute of these lot;
Now every individual must think and decide as which Islam are they following? The one re-invented by their Mullahs or The one bought by our master Mohammad Mustafa (saw)?
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community follows the concept of ‘Love For All; Hatred For None’ and that can be seen in all of their practices – this is actually a sign of it (Ahmadiyya Islam) being the real Islam which was bought down and taught to us by our Master and Saviour His Holiness Hazrath Mohammad Mustafa (saw), whereas we’ve seen how the rest of sections believe in terrorism, suicide-bombings, bloody Jihad, persecution, etc… These could never count as the teachings of Islam!
The Holy Qur’an discusses the matter of sects this way:
[72:12] ‘And some of us are righteous and some of us are otherwise; and we are sects holding different views [following different paths].
[72:13] ‘And we know that we cannot frustrate the plan of Allah in the earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.
[72:14] ‘And when we heard the call to guidance, we believed in it. And he who believes in his Lord has no fear of loss or injustice.
[72:15] ‘And some of us submit to God and some of us have deviated from the right course.’” And some of us submit to God — it is these who seek the right course.
[72:16] And as for those who deviate from the right course, they are the fuel of Hell.
Now everybody (and You) have all the facts to compare. Do it now, please and tell me, where did God commands that the disbelievers or innocents or the wrongdoers in terms of religion are to be punished by Man? The verses above clearly tells us that None is a guardian over another and that you are neither given the authority to decide status of one’s faith nor are you to force men to become believers. This is all God’s matter and he will deal it himself.
Tell me then, when and where did he assign these tasks to humans? He has Messengers to bring down his message of peace, and their successors to spread it. Who demanded of these Mullahs then to spread violence, hatred, and create all such nonsense on earth?
These Mullahs are fooling millions around the globe today in the name of Islam and the Holy Prophet, though these nasty thoughts might have never occurred to neither the lord nor his prophet… All of these new concepts in Islam are mere inventions (false-beliefs) of the Mullah himself or are handed down to him by his ancestors – O Muslims! Stop being a fool now, it’s good for you, if only you knew.
Innocence is the best attribute of mankind which is found in abundance till today (God’s Grace).
Innocence in matters of faith & belief is the most common one; and so these nasty Mullahs use this innocence for their bloody motives. You too might be used as a scapegoat to be sacrificed by the so called Mullahs or Pujaries or Priests! Beware!
It’s time that YOU decide what you want to do. Do not wait for your leaders to lead you and tell you what to do. It’s time that you take the lead. Stop, think and decide whom should you follow. Stop following somebody just because your father or fore-fathers did it or believed it. What if they were wrong? They were not super humans after all.
Remember! You will be the lone answerer for your deeds done in this world. Do not expect a Mullah to side you on the judgment day! Beware! Do not think that you are safe.
The time is now, save yourself from the wrath of Allah.
Today, if Muslims want to find and follow the true teachings of Rasool-Allah (saw) they have no other option than to accept the Messiah and adopt the peaceful ways of Ahmadiyya Islam.
