These are the words (Kalimah) by which one declares his/her intention to become a Muslim. A person, who understands and repeats this phrase in sincerity and devotion, lives and acts in accordance to its meaning and fulfills its requirement, belongs to the Muslim Ummah. [Read: The Significance of Shahada (Kalimah)]
Qadiani Ahmadi) leaders and missionaries, quite astutely, claim that since they also utter the same words (Kalimah), they should be considered Muslims! Is this something we should be concerned about or is it simply another attempt on their part to mislead the uninformed?
In Al Quran – Surah we are told:
O you who believe! When you go abroad in the cause of Allah, inv http://khatme-nubuwwat-hyderabad.com/disgrace#destigate carefully, and say not to any one who offers you a salutation: “Thou art none of a believer!” Coveting the perishable goods of this life: with Allah are profits and spoils abundant. Even thus were you yourselves before, till Allah conferred on you His favours: Therefore carefully investigate. For Allah is well aware of all that you do. (Al Quran – Surah An-Nisa 4 : Ayah 94)
Indeed, we are required to accept anyone’s claim to be a Muslim, unless his own actions and statements prove that he is not a Muslim. Obviously, declaring someone or the followers of an entire doctrine Kafir should be taken very seriously. In fact, admonishing those who have astrayed far from the teachings of Islam is a serious task entrusted to our learned scholars.
Finally, we like to point out that the Kalimah uttered by Qadianis Ahmadis) is meant to have a different meaning than those recited by Muslims. In support of this claim, we present the following writings of Mirza Ghulam Qadiani and his associates:
“I am the Maseeh of the time and I am Moses on whom God conferred His speech. I am Muhammad and Ahmad, the selected one.” (Taryaq-ul-Qulub, P. 3/6; Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 15, P. 134)
“Muhammad is the messenger of Allah and those accompanying Him (His companions are very strict against the unbelievers). In this divine revelation, I am named Muhammad and the Prophet of Allah.” (Aik Ghalti ka Izala, P. 3; Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 18, P. 207)
“Muhammad has again come down among us. His position is an improvement on his earlier visitation. If any man wishes to see Muhammad, more competent, then he should see Ghulam Ahmad, in Qadian.” (Al-Badr, 25 Oct. 1906)
“Twenty Six years ago, God called me Muhammad and Ahmad, in Buraheen-i- Ahmadiah.” (Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 22, P. 502)
