Qadianiyyah movement
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Qadianiyyah is a movement that started in 1900 CE as a plot by the
British colonialists in the Indian subcontinent, with the aim of
diverting Muslims away from their religion and from the obligation of
jihaad in particular, so that they would not oppose colonialism in the
name of Islam. The mouthpiece of this movement is the magazine Majallat
Al-Adyaan (Magazine if Religions) which was published in English.
Foundation and prominent personalities:
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad al-Qadiani (1839-1908 CE) was the main tool by means
of which Qadianiyyah was founded. He was born in the village of Qadian,
in the Punjab, in India, in 1839 CE. He came from a family that was well
known for having betrayed its religion and country, so Ghulam Ahmad grew
up loyal and obedient to the colonialists in every sense. Thus he was
chosen for the role of a so-called prophet, so that the Muslims would
gather around him and he would distract them from waging jihaad against
the English colonialists. The British government did lots of favours for
them, so they were loyal to the British. Ghulam Ahmad was known among
his followers to be unstable, with a lot of health problems and
dependent on drugs.
Among those who confronted him and his evil da'wah was Shaykh
Abu'l-Wafa' Thana' al-Amritsari, the leader of Jama'iyyat Ahl al-Hadeeth
fi 'Umoom al-Hind (The All-India Society of Ahl al-Hadeeth). The Shaykh
debated with him and refuted his arguments, revealing his ulterior
motives and Kufr and the deviation of his way. When Ghulam Ahmad did not
come to his senses, Shaykh Abu'l-Wafa' challenged him to come together
and invoke the curse of Allaah, such that the one who was lying would
die in the lifetime of the one who was telling the truth. Only a few
days passed before Mirza Ghulam Ahmad al-Qadiani died, in 1908 CE,
leaving behind more than fifty books, pamphlets and articles, among the
most important of which are: Izaalat al-Awhaam (Dispelling illusions),
I'jaaz Ahmadi (Ahmadi miracles), Baraaheen Ahmadiyyah (Ahmadi proofs),
Anwaar al-Islam (Lights of Islam), I'jaaz al-Maseeh (Miracles of the
Messiah), al-Tableegh (Conveying (the message))and Tajalliyyaat
Ilaahiyyah (Divine manifestations).
Noor al-Deen (Nuruddin): the first Khaleefah of the Qadianis. The
British put the crown of Khilaafah on his head, so the disciples (of
Ghulam Ahmad) followed him. Among his books is: Fasl al-Khitaab
(Definitive statement).
Muhammad Ali and Khojah Kamaal al-Deen: the two leaders of the Lahore
Qadianis. They are the ones who gave the final shape to the movement.
The former produced a distorted translation into English of the Qur'aan.
His other works include: Haqeeqat al-Ikhtilaaf (The reality of
differences), al-Nubuwwah fi'l-Islam (Prophethood in Islam) and al-Deen
al-Islami (The Islamic religion). As for Khojah Kamaal al-Deen, he wrote
a book called al-Mathal al-A'laa fi'l-Anbiya' (The highest example of
the Prophets), and other books. This Lahore group of Ahmadis are those
who think of Ghulam Ahmad as a Mujaddid (renewer or reviver of Islam)
only, but both groups are viewed as a single movement because odd ideas
that are not seen in the one will surely be found in the other.
Muhammad Ali: the leader of the Lahore Qadianis. He was one of those who
gave the final shape to Qadianiyyah, a colonialist spy and the person in
charge of the magazine which was the voice of the Qadianiyyah. He also
produced a distorted translation into English of the Qur'aan. Among his
works are Haqeeqat al-Ikhtilaaf (The reality of differences), and
al-Nubuwwah fi'l-Islam (Prophethood in Islam), as stated above.
Muhammad Saadiq, the mufti of the Qadianiyyah. His works include: Khatim
al-Nabiyyeen The seal of the Prophets).
Basheer Ahmad ibn Ghulam. His works include: Seerat al-Mahdi (the life
of the Mahdi) and Kalimat al-Fasl (Decisive word).
Mahmood Ahmad ibn Ghulam, his second Khaleefah. Among his works are:
Anwaar al-Khilaafah (Lights of the caliphate), Tuhfat al-Mulook and
Haqeeqat al-Nubuwwah (The reality of prophethood).
The appointment of the Qadiani Zafar-Allaah Khan as the first Foreign
Minister of Pakistan had a major effect in supporting this deviant sect,
as he gave them a large area in the province of the Punjab to be their
world headquarters, which they named Rabwah (high ground) as in the
aayah (interpretation of the meaning): ". And We gave them refuge on
high ground (rabwah), a place of rest, security and flowing streams."
[al-Mu'minoon 23:50].
Their thought and beliefs
Ghulam Ahmad began his activities as an Islamic daa'iyah (caller to
Islam) so that he could gather followers around him, then he claimed to
be a mujaddid inspired by Allaah. Then he took a further step and
claimed to be the Awaited Mahdi and the Promised Messiah. Then he
claimed to be a Prophet and that his prophethood was higher than that of
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
The Qadianis believe that Allaah fasts, prays, sleeps, wakes up, writes,
makes mistakes and has intercourse - exalted be Allaah far above all
that they say.
The Qadiani believes that his god is English because he speaks to him in
English.
The Qadianis believe that Prophethood did not end with Muhammad (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him), but that it is ongoing, and that
Allaah sends a messenger when there is a need, and that Ghulam Ahmad is
the best of all the Prophets.
They believe that Jibreel used to come down to Ghulam Ahmad and that he
used to bring revelation to him, and that his inspirations are like the
Qur'aan.
They say that there is no Qur'aan other than what the "Promised Messiah"
(Ghulam Ahmad) brought, and no hadeeth except what is in accordance with
his teachings, and no Prophet except under the leadership of Ghulam
Ahmad.
They believe that their book was revealed. Its name is al-Kitaab
al-Mubeen and it is different from the Holy Qur'aan.
They believe that they are followers of a new and independent religion
and an independent Sharee'ah, and that the friends of Ghulam are like
the Sahaabah.
They believe that Qadian is like Madeenah and Makkah, if not better than
them, and that its land is sacred. It is their Qiblah and the place they
make hajj to.
They called for the abolition of jihaad and blind obedience to the
British government because, as they claimed, the British were "those in
authority" as stated in the Qur'aan.
In their view every Muslim is a Kaafir unless he becomes a Qadiani, and
everyone who married a non-Qadiani is also a kaafir.
They allow alcohol, opium, drugs and intoxicants.
Intellectual and ideological roots
The westernizing movement of Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan paved the way for the
emergence of the Qadianiyyah, because it had already spread deviant
ideas.
The British made the most of this opportunity so they started the
Qadiani movement and chose a man from a family that had a history of
being agents of the colonialists.
In 1953 CE, there was a popular revolution in Pakistan which demanded
the removal of Zafar-Allaah Khan from the position of Foreign Minister
and that the Qadiani sect should be regarded as a non-Muslim minority.
In this uprising around ten thousand Muslims were martyred, and they
succeeded in having the Qadiani minister removed from office.
In Rabee' al-Awwal 1394 AH (April 1974), a major conference was held by
the Muslim World League in Makkah, which was attended by representatives
of Muslim organizations from around the world. This conference announced
that this sect is Kaafir and is beyond the pale of Islam, and told
Muslims to resist its dangers and not to cooperate with the Qadianis or
bury their dead in Muslim graveyards.
The Majlis al-Ummah in Pakistan (the central parliament) debated with
the Qadiani leader Mirza Naasir Ahmad, and he was refuted by Shaykh
Mufti Mahmood (may Allaah have mercy on him). The debate went on for
nearly thirty hours but Naasir Ahmad was unable to give answers and the
Kufr of this group was exposed, so the Majlis issued a statement that
the Qadianis should be regarded as a non-Muslim minority.
Among the factors that make Mirza Ghulam Ahmad an obvious Kaafir are the
following:
His claim to be a Prophet
His abolition of the duty of jihaad, to serve the interests of the
colonialists.
His saying that people should no longer go on Hajj to Makkah, and his
substitution of Qadian as the place of pilgrimage.
His anthropomorphism or likening Allaah to human beings.
His belief in the transmigration of souls and incarnation.
His attributing a son to Allaah and his claim to be the son of God.
His denying that Prophethood ended with Muhammad (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) and his regarding the door of Prophethood to be open
to "any Tom, Dick or Harry".
The Qadianis have strong ties with Israel. Israel has opened centres and
schools for them, and helped them to publish a magazine which is their
mouthpiece, to print books and publications for distribution worldwide.
The fact that they are influenced by Judaism, Christianity and
al-Baatiniyyah is clear from their beliefs and practices, even though
they claim to be Muslims.
Their spread and positions of influence
Most of the Qadianis nowadays live in India and Pakistan, with a few in
Israel and the Arab world. They are trying, with the help of the
colonialists, to obtain sensitive positions in all the places where they
live.
The Qadianis are very active in Africa and in some western countries. In
Africa they have more than 5,000 teachers and dai'yahs working full-time
to call people to Qadianiyyah. Their wide-spread activity proves that
they have the support of the colonialists.
The British government is also supporting this movement and making it
easy for their followers to get positions in world governments,
corporate administration and consulates. Some of them are also
high-ranking officers in the secret services.
In calling people to their beliefs, the Qadianis use all kinds of
methods, especially educational means, because they are highly-educated
and there are many scientists, engineers and doctors in their ranks. In
Britain there is a satellite TV channel called Islamic TV which is run
by the Qadianis.
From the above, it is clear that:
Qadianiyyah is a misguided group, which is not part of Islam at all. Its
beliefs are completely contradictory to Islam, so Muslims should beware
of their activities, since the 'Ulama' (scholars) of Islam have stated
that they are Kaafirs.

The following statement was published by the Islamic Fiqh Council
(Majma' al-Fiqh al-Islami):
After discussing the question put to the Islamic Fiqh Council in
Capetown, South Africa, concerning the ruling on the Qadianis and their
off-shoot which is known as Lahoriyyah, and whether they should be
counted as Muslims or not, and whether a non-Muslim is qualified to
examine an issue of this nature:
In the light of research and documents presented to the members of the
council concerning Mirza Ghulam Ahmad al-Qadiani, who emerged in India
in the last century and to whom is attributed the Qadiani and Lahori
movements, and after pondering the information presented on these two
groups, and after confirming that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be a
prophet who received revelation, a claim which is documented in his own
writings and speeches, some of which he claimed to have received as
revelation, a claim which he propagated all his life and asked people to
believe in, just as it is also well-known that he denied many other
things which are proven to be essential elements of the religion of
Islam
in the light of the above, the Council issued the following statement:
Firstly: the claims of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to be a prophet or a messenger
and to receive revelation are clearly a rejection of proven and
essential elements of Islam, which unequivocally states that Prophethood
ended with Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and that
no revelation will come to anyone after him. This claim made by Mirza
Ghulam Ahmad makes him and anyone who agrees with him an apostate who is
beyond the pale of Islam. As for the Lahoriyyah, they are like the
Qadianiyyah: the same ruling of apostasy applies to them despite the
fact that they described Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a shadow and
manifestation of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him).
Secondly: it is not appropriate for a non-Muslim court or judge to give
a ruling on who is a Muslim and who is an apostate, especially when this
goes against the consensus of the scholars and organizations of the
Muslim Ummah. Rulings of this nature are not acceptable unless they are
issued by a Muslim scholar who knows all the requirements for being
considered a Muslim, who knows when a person may be deemed to have
overstepped the mark and become an apostate, who understands the
realities of Islam and kufr, and who has comprehensive knowledge of what
is stated in the Qur'aan, Sunnah and scholarly consensus. The ruling of
a court of that nature is invalid. And Allaah knows best.

<DIV><FONT color=#000000>The Qadianis have strong ties with Israel. Israel has
opened centres and schools for them, and helped them to publish a magazine which
is their mouthpiece, to print books and publications for distribution
worldwide.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>The fact that they are influenced by Judaism,
Christianity and al-Baatiniyyah is clear from their beliefs and practices, even
though they claim to be Muslims.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Their spread and positions of influence</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Most of the Qadianis nowadays live in India and
Pakistan, with a few in Israel and the Arab world. They are trying, with the
help of the colonialists, to obtain sensitive positions in all the places where
they live.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>The Qadianis are very active in Africa and in some
western countries. In Africa they have more than 5,000 teachers and dai’yahs
working full-time to call people to Qadianiyyah. Their wide-spread activity
proves that they have the support of the colonialists.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>The British government is also supporting this movement
and making it easy for their followers to get positions in world governments,
corporate administration and consulates. Some of them are also high-ranking
officers in the secret services.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>In calling people to their beliefs, the Qadianis use
all kinds of methods, especially educational means, because they are
highly-educated and there are many scientists, engineers and doctors in their
ranks. In Britain there is a satellite TV channel called Islamic TV which is run
by the Qadianis.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>From the above, it is clear that:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Qadianiyyah is a misguided group, which is not part of
Islam at all. Its beliefs are completely contradictory to Islam, so Muslims
should beware of their activities, since the ‘Ulama’ (scholars) of Islam have
stated that they are Kaafirs.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000>The following statement was published by the Islamic
Fiqh Council (Majma’ al-Fiqh al-Islami):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>After discussing the question put to the Islamic Fiqh
Council in Capetown, South Africa, concerning the ruling on the Qadianis and
their off-shoot which is known as Lahoriyyah, and whether they should be counted
as Muslims or not, and whether a non-Muslim is qualified to examine an issue of
this nature:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>In the light of research and documents presented to the
members of the council concerning Mirza Ghulam Ahmad al-Qadiani, who emerged in
India in the last century and to whom is attributed the Qadiani and Lahori
movements, and after pondering the information presented on these two groups,
and after confirming that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be a prophet who
received revelation, a claim which is documented in his own writings and
speeches, some of which he claimed to have received as revelation, a claim which
he propagated all his life and asked people to believe in, just as it is also
well-known that he denied many other things which are proven to be essential
elements of the religion of Islam</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>in the light of the above, the Council issued the
following statement:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Firstly: the claims of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to be a
prophet or a messenger and to receive revelation are clearly a rejection of
proven and essential elements of Islam, which unequivocally states that
Prophethood ended with Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and
that no revelation will come to anyone after him. This claim made by Mirza
Ghulam Ahmad makes him and anyone who agrees with him an apostate who is beyond
the pale of Islam. As for the Lahoriyyah, they are like the Qadianiyyah: the
same ruling of apostasy applies to them despite the fact that they described
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a shadow and manifestation of our Prophet Muhammad (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Secondly: it is not appropriate for a non-Muslim court
or judge to give a ruling on who is a Muslim and who is an apostate, especially
when this goes against the consensus of the scholars and organizations of the
Muslim Ummah. Rulings of this nature are not acceptable unless they are issued
by a Muslim scholar who knows all the requirements for being considered a
Muslim, who knows when a person may be deemed to have overstepped the mark and
become an apostate, who understands the realities of Islam and kufr, and who has
comprehensive knowledge of what is stated in the Qur’aan, Sunnah and scholarly
consensus. The ruling of a court of that nature is invalid. And Allaah knows
best.</FONT></DIV>
