All praises to Allah Almighty and Peace be upon the holy Prophet and his Companions (Sahabah). 

The holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) once defined “Faith” as advice and included it among one of the obligations of our faith for the Muslim Ummah. 

Therefore, the universal body of Ulama wishes to invite the Muslim Ummah’s attention to an important universal and religious matter: “The Qadiani problem.” 

This group (the so-called Ahmadi or Ahmadiya group) was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmed from Qadian, a town in the district of Gurdaspur in India. He started his campaign by confronting non-Muslims in polemics. Later, he started making improbable claims when he found people reposing faith in him. 

• In 1884, he claimed to be a “Mujaddid” of the 14th century. 
• In 1891, he disclosed a revelation: “Prophet Isa alaihis salaam is dead, and thou art now the promised Masih as described in the holy Quran and Hadith.” 
• In 1892, he claimed to be both Masih and Mahdi. 
• In 1901, he claimed that whereas Christ is described as a “nabi” (prophet) in a Hadith [Sahih Muslim], he, too, was a “nabi” or prophet. 
• In one of his pamphlets, “Ek Ghalati Ka Izalah,” he claimed that he was exactly the same as Muhammed-ur-Rasool Allah (Allah forbid). In other words, he proclaimed himself the reincarnation of the holy Prophet and his prophethood (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). ¹

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad pronounced the following articles of faith/beliefs to his followers:

Belief No. 1
That the holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) has reappeared in the shape and person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani, and in the verse of the Holy Qu’ran “MUHAMMAD-UR-RUSULLAH WALL LAZEENA MA’HU” Muhammad ur-Rasullah stands for Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. (Ek Ghalati Ka Izalah). 

Belief No. 2
The Qadiani faith places Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in the same respect, status, nomenclature, and honor as that of the holy prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). (Al-Fazl, September 16, 1925, Qadiani Mazhab, p. 275). 

Belief No. 3
The Qadiani faith enjoins upon all human beings to accept Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as we recognize the holy prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) because, from the 14th century onward, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is a proclaimed prophet (Tazkirah p. 260). 

Belief No. 4
The Qadiani faith considers Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as Khatam-ul-Anbia, the last prophet. (Al Fazl, 26th Sept 1915). 

Belief No. 5
The Qadiani faith claims that the highest throne amongst the heavenly thrones is that of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. (Haqiqatul Wahi, p. 89). 

Belief No. 6
The Qadiani faith claims that Islam was just like a crescent of opening night (Shedding no light), while the Islam of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s time is shining bright like the full moon of the 14th night. (Khutba-e-Ilhamiyah, p. 183). 

Belief No. 7
The Qadiani faith claims that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s spiritualism is much better and more comprehensive than that of the holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam). (Khutbat Ilhamiyah, p. 181). 

Belief No. 8
The Qadiani faith claims that in this age, following the holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi WaSallam) alone is not ‘madaare-e-nijat’ (basis of salvation), but the madaar-e-nijat’ is obedience to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. (Arbaeen No. 4, p. 7). 

Belief No. 9
The Qadiani faith deems everyone disobedient to Allah and Rasool and hell-bound if one does not follow Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. (Istihar Meyar Alakhbar, dated 25 May, 1900). 

Belief No. 10
The Qadiani faith termed all those persons as infidels and outside the pale of Islam if they did not declare faith in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad even though they did not hear his name. (Aina-e-Sadaqat, p. 35).

The above-cited beliefs are a few examples of hundreds of misleading and blasphemous beliefs of the Qadianis. The learned Ulemas from East to West have, therefore, declared in their unanimous “fatwas” since Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s times that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his followers are infidels, “murtad” and “zindeeq” (See Fatawa section on this website). 

Furthermore, Rabita Aalam-e-Islami, the paramount religious organization of the Muslim World, in its meeting held in April 1974 (Rabiul Awwal 1394 AH), exhorted all of the Muslim world to enforce a ban on the activities of the Qadianis within their countries. The Majma-e-Alfiqahal Islami, in their meeting on 22-28 December 1985 at Jeddah, called Qadianiat infidelity and “zindiqah”. 

It seems proper to mention here some of the activities indulged in by the Qadianis for the information of Muslim Ummah as follows:

1. The Qadiani group is busy in its propaganda campaign against the Government of Pakistan and religious circles with active connivance and backing of lobbies and media of Western countries from their base newly created at “Islamabad” in London, United Kingdom.

2. They have acquired an international channel via satellite to transmit their faith in the guise of Islam. This will create misunderstanding about the Muslim religion amongst those youngsters who do not possess sufficient religious knowledge.

3. Talented young men from Muslim countries are lured for lucrative jobs in foreign countries. They are asked to fill in Qadiani forms on the pretext that political asylum will be sought for their settlement due to their victimization because of their faith. Any applications made for political asylum by Qadianis in countries other than Pakistan need careful scrutiny through Pakistan Embassies in those countries.

5. The Qadianis are busy distributing literature as well as wrong and confusing translations of the holy Qur’an in the Muslim countries of the world. This is misleading the innocent and ignorant Muslims, who fall prey to their fraud. We must stop this nuisance by taking appropriate preventative measures.

6. We hope our brother Muslims will realize their religious and universal obligations and take all necessary actions to suppress the evil designs of the Qadiani movement.
