My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, it is my pleasure to inform you that alhamdulillah, it is coming up to four years since Allah (SWT) granted me hidaayah and saved me from Qadianism. Not a day has passed when I have not been grateful for the gift of Islam. My deen is something that I never take for granted.
On the 26th of November, 2004, I embraced Islam after a period of intense study. Two weeks later, I made my announcement publicly at the Khatmenabuwwat Academy in London, after speaking with Maulana Sohail Bawa about my decision. Why did I choose this avenue for my announcement? That’s quite simple to answer. Can you think of any other channel that would have got my message out worldwide more efficiently?
The reasons I made a public announcement were two-fold. First, it would give courage to other Qadianis who were scared of the consequences of leaving the cult they were born into, through no fault of their own. Second, it would send a message to the leadership of the Ahmadiyya that I was not afraid and that their usual smear tactics against the outspoken in their ranks would not work on me. (It was interesting to see how many Qadianis subsequently asserted that I had been “kicked out of the jama’at”, despite my very public, and very unexpected departure)
After leaving, at first, I had considered keeping myself to myself and being content with my own decision. Then I realised that since I had been given the gift of Islam, it was now incumbent upon me to spread the message and to invite my former co-religionists to the right path, away from the misguidance and kufr of Qadianism. I thus started writing.
Only three months after becoming Muslim, I wrote “Life After the Cult”, which was a public letter to any Qadiani who was considering jumping off the sinking ship of their false religion and swimming to the shore of Islam. It gained a widespread audience. Around the same time, I began contributing heavily to the ahmedi.org forum and soon became a moderator. After around three thousand posts under various names, I left the forum and started making a series of videos on YouTube. My channel, shahidkamal, gained a steadily growing audience and came to the attention of the top levels of the Ahmadiyya who did their best to try and stop my work, but by the grace of Allah (SWT), their attempts failed.
Most recently, I have started, with some fellow Muslims, a new web site called TheCult.info, where there is an active blog and forum and also a wiki. We are using as many modern tools as possible to spread the message of Islam and to show the ugly truth of Ahmadiyyat, so that everyone, Muslims and Qadianis, can see the difference for themselves.
I have been shocked, if not entirely surprised, by the horrendous abuse and vitriolic hatred directed towards me by Qadianis. I only pray that those who still reason, will see for themselves what is right and what is wrong, that they will reflect and that insha’Allah, they will revert to the only deen acceptable to Allah (SWT) – and that is Islam.
Work continues on new articles, videos and book projects and insha’Allah, I want to make it my life’s work to attract as many Qadianis to Islam as possible, remembering always, that it is Allah (SWT) alone who grants hidaayah. May He give it to all Qadianis, insha’Allah.
Please remember me in your du`a.
Wassalaam,
Your brother in Islam,
Shahid Kamal Ahmad

Dear Sulaiman,
If you don’t have answers that is fine, we cannot push to reply.
If you look at all the conversation you had on this blog – you basically denied reincarnation in Ahmadiyya beliefs. When I gave you evidence that Mirza Sb claimed himself to be an Avtar of Krishna you said it is a metaphor. However, you still don’t believe in a metaphoric re-incarnation (despite clear writing of Mirza Sb), however you believe in metaphoric Avtar, though you never explained the difference between the two.
Then I gave an evidence which proves that Mirza Sb claims to be Krishan for Hindus just as he claims to be Messiah for Muslims. So if he claim of Krishan is metaphor, the claim for Messiah is also a metaphor. Here you simply closed the matter because you think it is foolish to explain beliefs of Ahmadis to others.
Why is it foolish, by the way? This blog is being read by Muslims and Ahmadis all over the world. You have a golden opportunity to explain your religion and call people to accept your belief. But you think it is foolish – why? Please don’t run away and I request you evaluate the truth and accept the truth whatever it is. May Allah help you to look for truth. Amin
Dear Newobserver, why are you keep trying to irritate me with your nonsense? are you really trying to make me look like “A FOOL NEVER LEARNT?” I told you the matter is closed and am no longer interested to pursue with it, please try to understand.
However, let me re-emphasised my stand as follows :-
It is undisputed fact that all the messengers of God duty are to reform,therefore, it is related with this FACTUAL SENSE or CONTEX that Hazrat Ahmad claimed to be an Avtar of Krishna, not in the sense or contex that you deem it to be, that is REINCARNATED, because being a muslim I do not take reincarnated something as a
FACT.
It is something that does not exist in the teaching of Islam, therefore, cannot be taken whether in metaphoric or literal sense or contex, such thing simply doesn’t exit in Islam and I do not beleive it does, so, how am I going to translate something that that does not exit in whatever sense (be it metaphoric or litera?).
Please try to understand, there is nothing more to be discussed,
Thanks for your prayer, God bless you brother.
Matter closed.
I am pretty confused how the matter is closed. You are saying two things in one breath. You say that you agree he is an Avtar of Krishna in a metaphoric sense however is not a reincarnate not even in metaphoric sense because it is not in Islam. What is the difference in Avtar and reincarnate?
Dictionary definition of avatar, noun:
“Hindu Mythology. the descent of a deity to the earth in an incarnate form or some manifest shape; the incarnation of a god.”
I think Sulaiman had no answer and he will not reply now. That is unfortunate – but I have seen it many times I get used to it. Every time I start with good intentions of either convincing or being convinced, however, Ahmadis leave the discussion in between, start using abusive language. I however, believe, Allah is seeing our efforts to present the message of truth with love and patience and I believe, those Ahmadis who are confused about their belief get enlightened with such discussions.
That is the reason, I will continue, insha’Allah – though Ahmadis try their best that I am put off or start using language like Mirza Sb.
You are right my brother in Islam. It is the silent readers we are working for insha’Allah. I was one of those silent readers once and alhamdulillah, through the Rahmah of my Creator, I reverted to Islam.
Assalāmu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullāhi wa barakātuhu.
The above discussion shows the typical way in which a closed mind will behave.
May Allah reward all your efforts in this good work; however as an advice I would strongly recommend that you not waste too much time on rhetoric and argument.
Instead continue to learn and practice true Islam and worry less about the Ahmadi’s, the Islam based upon the Quran and Sunnah of our beautiful Prophet PBUH.
For the record I come from a family in which 80% of us have left Ahmadiyat (or been kicked out) depending on whose version you believe.
I know it can be hard when we have family members that are still ignorant but we must remember whoever Allah guides no one can misguide and whoever Allah misguides no one can guide.
Was-salāmu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullāh.
ex-Ahmadis, wow, im truly humbled by that post…

{I began contributing heavily to the ahmedi.org forum and soon became a moderator. After around three thousand posts under various names, I left the forum|At last my claim that there are many fiticious ID holder at Ahmedi.org proved by Shahid himself in his post dt 28.10.2008.
Similarly you cannot deny now that you are not using many fictitious & Fake ID at this forum.
Now you are proved cheater & liar always owns short memory.
At last truth came out of a grand liar Shahid.
Mr. Scholar there is no bad truth false truth or ugly truth as you mentioned. There is only one & only truth & only truth.
you said,
{they will revert to the only deen acceptable to Allah}
Its true but you enter into brand of Islam famous in Mullahisam only & you cannot deny that there are 72 hell bond sect who also claims that their deen is of true deen of Allah?
My Allah save all from Mullah’s Islam.
Before you kicked out of this One True Naji Jamaat have’t you observed any horrendous abuse and vitriolic hatred directed towards people kicked out..?
This is you’re another big lie & note this that liar can never succeed.
I am surprised that you are still not confident of getting Muslim by saying,
Your brother in Islam???
