Creed of Islam

First of all, let me make it clear that I am NOT an Ahmadi. This clarification is essential so that my motives are clear to everyone.
A few weeks ago I wrote an article on Huff post in which I criticized the infamous Second Amendment which had declared Ahmadis as Non-Muslims. I got a lot of heated responses on that with some saying that I am myself an Ahmadi (which I am not), and some claiming that I am anti-Islam or at least do not know about it.
Further I was told that Ahmadis also hate Muslims and consider all other sects as Non-Muslim and therefore it is “fair” to declare them as Non-Muslims. Of course I have been told a number of times that they are “against” Pakistan.
Some of my relatives (from my father’s side) are Ahmadis and hence I have had the unique opportunity of observing them closely. Despite the open hatred which is shown to them, I have never had the opportunity of hearing any of them expressing hatred towards Pakistan or Muslims of other sects. None of the Ahmadis I know have talked about resorting to violence against so called “real” Muslims of Pakistan despite the fact that they have been subject to violence themselves.

R.H. Raja is right. Maulvis do not know anything about the religion or any worldly affair. They are Zero. They do not know the meaning of Momin, Kafir, Islam, Muslim, Murtadd. They do not know who is superior, the Momin or the Muslim?
If any one does anything wrong, the Maulvis tell him “You have become a Murtadd (apostate).” Apostasy is some one’s personal act. Any one who wants to leave the religion by his own choice and he does not like to continue in Islam, he can announce it and say good bye to Islam. It is not the right of others to tell some one that he had become an apostate.
Islam means peace and a Muslim is the one who is peaceful. Any one who is not peaceful is not a Muslim even though he/she may be reciting the Kalimah and may be offering daily prayers.
Kafir is the one who denies the truth of any messenger of Allah. That is a simple Kafir. The real grand Kafir is the One who is hostile, fanatic and belligerent.
Kings used the religion for their politics. That is well known. The story of King Nimrod (?) who tried Hazrat Abaraham a.s. is well described in the Quran. Similarly, the story of the King Pharaoh of Egypt to persecuted the Jews is well known. That was all because he was using religion for politics.
Why can’t the Maulvis keep away from politics. In present times, it is the maulvis who are inviting the government to use politics in religion. Religion does not need politics. There is Zero politics in Islam. Islam is all for spiritual progress only.
