My name is Marya Nusrat, I belong to Lathianwala a small village in Faisalabad. I have a BS (Hons) in Information Technology. I was a Qadiyani by birth and Allah blessed me with Hidayah a year ago, and I accepted Islam, and now I am a Muslim Alhamdulillah.
Qadiyaniat in our family came because my grandfather Fateh Muhammad and his brother Hussain Muhammad were two brothers altogether. They used to reside in Amritsar a district of Hindustan and from there they migrated to Pakistan, and started living in Lathianwala, a place near Faisalabad, and over here they accepted Qadiyaniat and started preaching it as well.
My father got married in “61 Chaak Baidian Wala” and my mother was also a Qadiyani by birth, and she used to preach Qadiyaniat in her village, she continued this preaching after her marriage, she brought up my sisters, in the same way, i.e to spread the teachings of Qadiyaniat and to visit different areas for its preaching. Same way she also brought me up.
So my father was the secretary of Tehreek e Jadeed’s donation collection department, he would collect funds or donations for the Ahmadiyya Community. My parental uncle was a secretary of Waqf e Jadeed’s donation collection department, he would also collect the donations.
The son of this uncle was secretary Ziafat, meaning his job was to make arrangements for the lodging and feast for the guests and Murabis who would come from different areas. and all these activities were done in our family besides that one of my sisters was Secretary Finance, one of my sisters was Secretary Nasiraat, and another sister was Secretary Taleem. Once I also had the designation of Secretary Taleem o Tarbiyyat (Education and Training), I left that job due to my studies and started teaching in their school, I did this job for almost two years.
I was their best debater in Faisalabad, I went to Chanabnagar for a debate competition as a representative of Faisalabad, I secured second competition, and I participated in that session by asking a question from the sister of their current Caliph Mirza Masroor. My question was: Mirza (Ghulam Ahmad) Qadiyani wrote in his book that the name of Qadiyan has been used in the Holy Quran in one of his dreams So my question to you is to please show me where in the Holy Quran this word has been used? So this was my question which I wrote on a piece of paper and sent her.
When my turn came then she opened my question but she didn’t have an answer and she started asking who had raised this question. Afterwards, another girl asked a question but the sister of Mirza Masroor had no answer to that question too. Now you can see their adamancy instead of admitting and she should have said to me or to that girl that I don’t have any answer to these questions, or I’ll answer you by reading the books or consulting some expert, she started squabbling with us being such a big preacher of Qadiyanis and said if you know more than me then take my seat and start preaching the people.
So at that time my elder sister who was with me, I told her that I sent this question where is the name of Qadiyan in the Holy Quran and these people don’t have the answer to it? My sister was astonished and she asked, is that so? I said yes.
After that, I asked my sister more questions and I said that I study at the university and girls ask my questions, I told her a few of them: I said to her, that Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiyani claimed in his book that he would die in Makkah or Medina, but he died in Lahore and was buried in Qadiyan.
Then my sister asked again that is written in his books. I said yes it’s written. He has also written in one of his afflatuses: I once dreamt that I am the God and believed in what I saw. My sister repeated her statement that is it written in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s book. I justified my statement with references to his books. Then she got confused a lot. After that when I got back to my village, I talked about this incident with my family.
All of us were sitting together at night, and my father was also there, I discussed it with him and I told him the way things happened. He asked me if that was mentioned in his books. Other than that I gave him more references as Mirza Ghulam Ahmed has abused the Muslims, he claimed that Allah was supposed to be born in his house (God Forbid). All of this got my father anxious, and later on, our mother forbade us to discuss this topic.
The reason for my acceptance of Islam was such that after completing my degree I appeared in an interview for a teacher in a school and I was selected there. One day while we were sitting together in recess and suddenly we got into a religious talk, the principal of our school started talking about Qadiyaniat. As I was a Qadiyani, I participated in the discussion by telling them about the virtuousness of Qadiyaniat, I portrayed a very nice picture of Qadiyaniat to them. But the principal there was well known for the infidelity and filthiness of Qadiyaniat, so he started telling us the beliefs of Qadiyaniat that Mirza Ghulam Ahmed calls himself God, he calls himself Prophet Muhammad (SAW) he has committed blasphemy of the creed, he has abused all the Muslims and has committed blasphemy of Ehl e Bait (family of Prophet SAW)
When I heard all these things, I got frightened and was intimidated. I was not getting peace in anything, that the person we believe in as our Prophet, how can he be involved in such blasphemy? How can he be insolent to Allah and Prophet Muhammad (SAW)? I came back home and slept, I had a dream which scared me a lot. In the dream I was standing outside my house on an extremely hot day in summer, I was in the street barefooted and my head was uncovered, I started running from fear that someone would kill me, I ran a lot, ran a lot, run a lot, but when I looked at myself, I didn’t step forward a bit, I got anxious that I have put so much effort, I ran a lot but Allah didn’t even let me move a step forward, that moment I woke up and my body was drenched in sweat and I could smell my strong, bad body odor. After that, I saw this dream quite often and likewise, it always frightened me.
When I got back to school after a few days, the school principal was sitting with different volumes of Rohaani Khazain (Mirza Qadiani’s books), he called me and asked if I proved all those beliefs of Qadiyaniat that I had told you, through Mirza’s books, would you believe in the truth then? I said yes I will definitely. He then opened the books and showed all those statements that I have told you in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s books and those were written by Mirza Ghulam Ahmed himself and were published by Zia Ul Islam Press, Rabwah.
After that, I had many doubts and questions in my mind and to rectify them I met Mr. Irfan Mahmood Burq, A former Qadiyani who is now a Muslim and a great preacher of Khatm e Nubuwat, he cleared all the doubts and queries that I had, and revealed upon me the filthiness of Qadiyaniat, that I was unaware of before.
He gave me his book “Qadiyaniat Science aur Islam k Katheryn Mein” to read, so after reading that book all doubts in my mind vanished. After that, I cursed Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and Qadiyaniat billions of times became the slave of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), recited the creed, and accepted Islam. After that when I reached home, I supplicated to Allah to please show me such a path, show me such sign so that I may know that what I did today was right.
I then slept and again saw that dream I used to see earlier and used to get scared, that I was outside my home on a hot summer day and I started running due to fear. But this time things were quite contrary. When I started running out of fear, I reached a road, my head that was uncovered was now covered with a white covering itself, I saw a man in front of me who was wearing an Ehraam (two white cloaks for pilgrimage), When I looked up then saw the green dome and minaret, and instead of the strong bad body odor, my body started smelling pleasant. So I thanked Allah (SWT) on this that my heart was not satisfied, but by showing me your Prophet’s tomb to tell me that whatever I did today was completely right and absolutely on truth.
I am very grateful to Allah who got me married to a person who heartened and encouraged me a lot and took care of me a lot, and after accepting Islam he helped me to understand and act upon the teachings of Islam, he is still very supportive Alhamdulillah. Now my life aims to prosper the religion of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) just like earlier I was a Qadiyani and was promoting Qadiyaniat. After I accepted Islam, I resolved to spend the rest of my life for the prosperity of Islam. I will safeguard the religion of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) I will spread the belief of Khatm e Nubuwat and will safeguard it.
This means I intend to bring the Qadiyanis from darkness to light, as I was brought to light by someone. This interview series program “From Darkness to Light” is an outstanding Shubban Khatm e Nubuwat effort. I pray that May Allah prospers this program of Shubban Khatm e Nubuwat and that they keep making such efforts and may Allah accept their efforts and grant them success.
