Guidance or Hidayah is the most precious cates among the treasures of Allah SWT and it is solely Allah’s blessedness to bless someone with guidance. I am very grateful to Allah SWT who brought me from the darkness of Qadianiat towards the light of Islam.
My name is Muhammad Asif, and I belong to Multan, my ancestors also belonged to the city Multan. I passed my matriculation in 1996, after that completed my F.A, and then got admission in a Homeopathic College, and completed DHMS Diploma, after that I used to serve as a lecturer in an institute.
I belonged to a Muslim family and I was a Muslim by birth Alhamdulillah. Later on, somehow I was driven towards Qadianiat, then Allah Ta’ala blessed me with guidance and I reverted to Islam.
In 2003, I met a Qadiyani, and then he asked me to meet a Murabi.. I went to that Murabi in their Bait-Ul-Zikr, now I saw apparently they were offering prayer, and Islamic creed was also written there. After witnessing all this I felt slightly perplexed by the fact that they pray like us, recite the Kalima (creed) like us, then what kind of infidels or non-muslims they are? And when I had conversation with Murabi, he said that we are Muslims, we recite the same creed and offer the prayers just like you Muslims do. And lately I got to know that actually this is just a deception, and they themselves are deluded by their apparent worships, whereas they are not eyeing their false beliefs as fasle beliefs spoil deeds.
After meeting that Qadiani when I became slightly confused, so I started questioning Islamic scholars. When I used to tell scholars that I met a Qadiani and apparently their way of worship is similar to ours, so what is your opinion in this regard, what actually the matter is? Sometimes I couldn’t continue the discussion with the scholars for long, sometimes they would run out of time and sometimes I would be out of time, usually it was a short meeting and they used to describe some of the lies, deceptions and sayings of Mirza (Ghulam Ahmad) Qadiani. But, as I had apparently seen them worshipping, that particular thing was stuck in my mind. That I have seen them worshipping, so what’s the solution? Are they lying or deceiving? This was not explained to me.
On the other side, the Qadiani used to contact me, they would invite me to any of their event or program quite often. I still remember that the very first program they invited by saying that our preacher Hafiz Muzaffar Ahmed has come from Rabwah, he would deliever a lecture so you should come and listen him.
They further preached that the Imam Mehdi you have been waiting for, has already arrived in us and we believe in him. Now watching all those stuff, I was getting impressed. Afterwards, a Qadiani invited me to pay a visit to their Centre by saying “We have a Centre “RABWAH” and you go there with us.” I spent quite a few days there and listened to the sermons of the Murabis.
In 2006, I accepted Qadianiat, and for accepting Qadianiat it is compulsory to fill the Ba’itt Form. I filled that form and became a part of the Qadianiat (Ahmadiyya) community.
So afterwards, I started visiting the Centre Rabwah oftenly, I would also participate in the activities of Jamaat in Multan. And it happened so that the first formal responsibility given by Jamaat was to be the Manager of Islah-o-Irshad department. I was the Manager of Islah-o-Irshad of a particular area. Every year, a teacher’s training class is organized in Rabwah, that class is an inspectorate of Quranic education, that is a 15 days class. I participated in that class in 2008. Qadianis from all over the Pakistan took part in that class. Specific people from every district participated in that class, after attending the class I came back to Multan.
In Multan, the Jamaat gave me another responsibility. That one is a very important responsibility and that is of the education department. Few months later, when I was still working on that responsibility, I was given another duty of The Nazim-e-Tarbiyyat by the Jama’at, it’s approval is also taken from the Centre. It is another important duty, the will system in Qadianiat, the Qadianis who make a will for being buried in the Bahisti Maqbara, Nazim-e-Tarbiyyat is to pursue them to make will.
After that while serving the Jamaat on different ranks, this thing struck my mind that whom we deem as Imam Mehdi, why not his books should be studied. I got a complete set of Roohani Khazain, and started studying it. I noticed that sometimes Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is saying something at one point and then denying the same statement later on. It happened at many places, for example in Baraheen-e-Ahmaddiya (the first book), in that book Mirza Ghulam Ahmad has narrated the life of Prophet Jesus (PBUH) and had described very majestically and splendidly the advent of Prophet Jesus (PBUH), and he has quoted a verse of Quran to testify his statement that Prophet Jesus (PBUH) will descend with grandeur and splendor.
But, in his next books he has mentioned the death of Jesus (PBUH) and started a line of reasoning on this belief of death, and then the Quranic verses which he presented, he started presenting his self-created interpretations of those verses.
When I got confused at some places, I used to ask Murabi that this conjecture is not possible here, something else is being conveyed here and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is conjecturing in some other way, but sometimes Murabis couldn’t satisfy me. So my distraction kept increasing. Apparently I was impressed by the system of Jamaat, but I was hassled while reading the contradictory statements in the books of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.
When I started reading “Seerat-Ul-Mehdi” in which Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s son has accumulated all the traditions regarding the conduct and character of his father, when I read that book, initially I was thunderstruck and realized that this personality is not worthy of those huge claims which he has made.
For instance, he would button up his coat in the button holes of his shirt, he would wear the socks in the opposite direction such that the upper part would cover the heels and lower part would cover the legs, he himself has quoted these references. This way his nature has revealed upon me that he was a selfish and self-centered person, a person who would only care about his pleasures and desires. His first wife, who was from his family and was a very virtuous lady. I was very distressed after reading the way he treated her, on one side he is claiming of being the slave of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and in this slavery he is claiming to be the Prophet, and Imam Mehdi and a guide for the people, but his such behavior with his wife in his house made me a lot distressed.
Likewise there are many other references that got me worrisome after reading, and the I thought of doing a research. For that purpose, first of all I studied Ahadiths. I went through at least 10 Ahadiths regarding the signs and symbols of Imam Mehdi and likewise 10 Ahadiths regarding the descend of Prophet Jesus (PBUH) in which signs and symbols have been mentioned, when I studied the 10 Ahadiths pertaining signs of Imam Mehdi, among all those signs and symbols none was found in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.
Same way the descend of Prophet Jesus (PBUH) was mentioned whereas Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani has announced the death of Prophet Jesus (PBUH). I was so much amazed after reading one Hadith that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said by swearing to Allah that Jesus son of Marry will descend among you. And whereas Mirza Ghulam Ahmad I still remember that I have seen this reference where Mirza Ghulam Ahmad said that no distortion is possible for a statement that is made by swearing and that statement will be deemed as it is. So at that time I understood that these were the contradictions and these were the false beliefs due to which the Islamic scholars out casted Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his followers from Muslim Ummah.
After that I gave up my Jamaat’s activities and stopped mingling with Jamaat. Then area head of Ahmaddiya Jamaat came to my home and he asked me that you had important responsibilities, why did you quit this job and why don’t you come to Jamaat? I told him that it was the same personality that made me join and leave the Jamaat, because he doesn’t come up to the standard of his claims. He doesn’t fulfill the signs and prophecies of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).
Hereby I invited all the Ahmadis to mull over their false belief and study Quran and Ahadiths, they are in deception on account of some apparent rituals, so break away from this deception and come towards the light. By believing in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani they have weaken their faith on Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). They have been robbed of their faith and have been out of the pale of Islam.
This series of interviewing the reverted Muslims initiated by Shubban Khatm-e-Nubuwat is a very good and beneficial step. May Allah (SWT) bless them and grant them success, may this series continue and and be a cause of guidance for the non-muslims.
Now aim of my life is to take the Ahmadis out of the darkness of infidelity and enlighten them with Islam.
