The term Qadiani is used in this discussion (without any offence intended) to refer to the movement which developed under the leadership of the late Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad (based first at Qadian, India, till 1947, and then at Rabwah, Pakistan), and was later headed by Mirza Tahir Ahmad, who was based in England from 1984 onwards.

Under the following topics, we refute some of the wrong beliefs of the Qadiani movement, and show that Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad himself never entertained any such views:

• Introduction to how and why the Split in the Ahmadiyya Movement took place in 1914.

• Read detailed history of the Split (in biography of Maulana Muhammad Ali):
  1. Events of the Split
  2. Founding of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Anjuman

• Qadianis declare all other Muslims as being kafir and outside the fold of Islam.

• But Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad regarded other Muslims as Muslims.

• Qadianis establish an autocratic, despotic khilafat, contrary to the teachings of Islam and of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Read the two topics below on Khilafat in the Ahmadiyya Movement:

  1. Brief Review.
  2. Detailed article with references.
     

• Qadianis evade Maulana Muhammad Ali’s challenges to debate. (Read in biography of Maulana Muhammad Ali)
  
  
• 70 senior Ahmadis take oath that Hazrat Mirza did NOT change his claim from muhaddas to prophet.

• Leading Qadianis used to believe that Prophet Muhammad is the Last Prophet and Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is Mujaddid of the 14th Century hijra and a wali (saint):
  
  1. Mirza Mahmud Ahmad at one time believed that no prophet can come after Prophet Muhammad.
  2. Mirza Mahmud Ahmad’s magazine calls Hazrat Mirza as one of the Mujaddids of Islam
  3. Father-in-law of Mirza Mahmud Ahmad declared Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to be Mujaddid of 14th Century (two days before Hazrat Mirza’s death).
  4. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, a top-most Qadiani, says: We don’t preach Hazrat Mirza’s prophethood.
  5. Mirza Bashir Ahmad describes Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as mujaddid of the century.

• The Date Trap: Mirza Mahmud Ahmad declares some of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s writings as abrogated and gets trapped in his own contradictions.

• Reply to Mirza Tahir Ahmad’s mubahila challenge

• Views of Maulana Nur-ud-Din agree with Lahore Ahmadi beliefs (a new point added, 17 February 2005)

To read a fully detailed refutation of the false Qadiani allegation that Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be a prophet, please look up the topic on our Home Page entitled:

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad did not claim to be a prophet.

Mirza Mahmud Ahmad’s claim of being Muslih Mau‘ud:

When Mirza Mahmud Ahmad announced this claim in 1944, Maulana Muhammad Ali refuted it immediately. Read the following Friday Khutbas by Maulana Muhammad Ali:

• 4 February 1944: Vain desires are the opposite of practical action
• 18 February 1944: Mirza Mahmud Ahmad has made religion into a children’s game
• 3 March 1944: The Quran on those who ‘take their desires for god’

Mirza Mahmud Ahmad wrote in 1908 that the ‘Promised Son’ would not be actual son of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 9 December 2004

Sworn declaration by Maulana Muhammad Ali:

“I, Muhammad Ali, head of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Jamaat, do swear that my belief is that Hazrat Mirza [Ghulam Ahmad] sahib of Qadian is a Mujaddid and the Promised Messiah, but not a prophet, nor can any person become a kafir or excluded from the fold of Islam by denying him. This was also the belief of Hazrat Mirza sahib. O God, if I have uttered falsehood in this oath taken in Thy name, then send upon me from Thyself such exemplary punishment as has no human hand in it, and from which the world would learn how stern and terrible is God’s retribution for one who deceives His creatures by swearing falsely in His name.”
Background to this sworn declaration. (Read in biography of Maulana Muhammad Ali)
