1. This took a LOT of work to do. I had to travel around to find some of these dictionaries. Alhumdu lillah, then I found them online.

2. Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement AGREES.

   Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement (LAM)believes that Muhammad Rasul Allah SAWS is THE LAST MESSANGER OF ALLAH SWT and NO NEW or OLD messanger of Allah SWT can come after Muhammad Rasul Allah SAWS

   Please check the following books published by LAM to prove that PROPHET-HOOD ENDED with Muhammad Rasul allah (SAWS):

4. This makes me upset, because I personally have not seen the Qadian Ahmadis (not Lahori Ahmadis) lie, but this is one of the few times when they are really just making stuff up.

   And, who is going to go out there and double-check their facts? Alhumdu lillah, I happen to live near several excellent libraries that afford me access to these books, but the average Qadian Ahmadi living in Punjab simply doesn’t have the means to double-check what they’re saying.

   It really brings Farid’s integrity into question.

5. Dictionary of Holy Quran by Abdul Mannan Omar,
   3rd edition, page 148.

   farhan,
   i would suggest you to check it.

   As far as Malik Ghulam farid dictionary is concerned, it is VERY MUCH POSSIBLE that qadianis may have inserted different meanings or ADDED more meaning, or made CHANGES in the text. Qadianis published his dictionary few DECADES after his death. malik Ghulam Farid wrote forward to his dictionary in 1969. And Qadianis published it in 2006.

   Moreover, Malik Ghulam farid sahib NEVER held belief that Qadiani Khalifa 2 Mirza mahmud Ahmad was “musleh mahud”. Malik G. Farid NEVER considered Mirza Mahmud Ahmad to be even a decent man.

6. Some people who are against the religion of Ahmadiyya and I respectfully disagree on this issue: While I think it is more accurate to refer to them as Qadianis, they find this term highly offensive and it may act as a barrier in our Da’wah efforts. So, I’d prefer you refer to them as Ahmadis. When I need to distinguish between them and Lahoris, then I call them “Qadian Ahmadis”.

   And we’re the Muslims

7. That is actually funny. There was a vide on youtube by some Ijjatuallah who explained in detail that calling them Qadianis is an insult to them. I asked him a simple question that Mirza Ghulam used to call himself Qadiani all his life – did he use to insult himself all his life?

   Unfortunately, that Qadiani deleted my comment.

8. I think in that case, MGA meant he was from Qadian the same way I’m a Washingtoni (Close to Washington, DC).

   But, referring to their followers as “Qadiani” is different than national origin.

9. I came up with “Ghulam-Ahmadi” a couple of years ago, whilst not perfect, I think that’s the most accurate.

10. I had a chance to read the above discussion.
    THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO HUMBLY CONTRIBUTE:

    Here is what I found in the ‘An Arabic-English Lexicon’ by E.W.Lane.
    Pages 702~703 OF PART2. (THIS IS FROM THE PRINTED VERSION I HAVE IN MY LIBRARY. PUBLISHED IN BEIRUT -LEBANON, 1968)

    ‘An Arabic-English Lexicon’ by E.W.Lane.gives the following root word and multiple meanings:
    (For Example, it includes the following meanings: Last; Seal; Perfect; Complete; Ornament; Suffice(Utmost/Adequate/Enough); The Act of Covering Over a thing; and many more meanings etc…

    1. The root word is ‘Kh,Ta,Mim’.
    2. “‘ Khatim, Khatam and Khitam’ are NEARLY the same meaning.”
    (My Note/Comment: It means to me that they are not EXACTLY the same meaning but ‘NEARLY’ the same meaning.)
    3. “Primary significance of ‘Khatm’ is the act of covering over a thing”.
    4. “Their present was sent to him with what rendered it PERFECT or COMPLETE, or what appertained to it.”
    5. “A signet; generally a signet-ring; i.e. a certain ORNAMENT for the finger”.
    See also:
    ” Or a ring having a ‘fassa’ of a substance different therefrom set in it; i.e. having stone or GEM set in it.”
    6. ” The hollow of the back of the neck; which is the cupping place.”
    7. ” How good, or beautiful, is his ACT OR MODE OF PUTTING on the turban! or, of putting it on in the manner of the ‘niqab’.
    8. ” Actions are characterised or to be judged as good or evil by their RESULTS.
    9. ” He gave me SUFFICIENCY, or what SUFFICED me: because what suffices a man is the LAST and UTMOST of his desire or demand”.

    Thanks for your kind consideration.
    Anjum

11. Anjum,

    Excellent response! So, if we are going to use Lane’s Lexicon as our source, and it seems to suggest both entries, the question is which entry is the most accurate.

    Now, look on page 703, on the left most column, a little less than halfway down the page. See how he says “Khaatam an-Nabieen” means, “Last of the Prophets”. In other words, even the Ahmadis quote from Lane’s Lexicon, he himself said in context, Khaatam an-Nabieen means “Last of the Prophets”, which makes ‘Last’ or ‘end’ the most the accurate understanding, according to this neutral source.

    But, in all of their works, they selectively ignore that part.
    

    On this blessed Eid day, May Allah guide the Ahmadis to Islam.

12. ASA
    Yes, our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the ‘Last of the Prophets’.
    Yes, he is not only the ‘Last of the Prophets’ but ALSO the “Perfect’ Prophet in his teachings and status.
    Yes, our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is like an ‘ornament’ and ‘Gem’ in his status among all the Prophets and Massengers of Allah. May Peace and Blessings be upon Muhammad and his true followers.(Who are true to His teachings in the eyes of God.)

    May Allah help us in HIS ways and knowledge.
    Yes, some of us have been mislead by the current leadership of not only ‘Ahmadies’ but also of some other ‘so called leaders’ of the Islamic Faith. (Graduates/Talibans of so called Madrassas.)

    I will be travelling for 3 weeks, hence will not be able to contribute during this time. I hope you will understand.

    Greetings of Peace to all.
    May God Almight Bless us all.

13. wa ‘alaykum as-salaam wa rahmat Allahi wa baraktahu,

    I don’t disagree at all with calling the Prophet Muhammad عليه صلاة و السلام the ornament, jewel and the best of the Prophets.

    I must say though, the Ahmadis (intentionally?) show an exadurated, fictitious portrayal of the great scholars of Islam. If you want to see how our scholars are, I urge all Ahmadis to do a google search for “Perished Nations Muhammad al-Shareef” on youtube. You’ll see one of our great teachers in action!

14. replace “fictitious” with “stereotypical”

15. TWO KINDS OF AHMADIES

    @ Farhan

    Farhan yours: “So, I’d prefer you refer to them as Ahmadis. When I need to distinguish between them and Lahoris, then I call them “Qadian Ahmadis”.

    I think it is IMPORTANT to distinguish between TWO KINDS OF AHMADIES. One are QADIANIS (i.e. Qadiani Ahmadies) and other are LAHORI AHMADIES (as simple ‘lahories’ means any resident of Lahore, Pakistan). Simply calling Qadianis as Ahmadies is WRONG because their is HUGE difference between Qadianis and Lahories Ahmadies belief and practices. Qadianis do NOT believe Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWS was Last prophet. Where as Lahori Ahmadies consider him to be the LAST prophet of Allah. Moreover Lahori Ahmadies do NOT follow CORRUPT QADIANI KHILAFAT. Lahori Ahmadies consider all reciters of Kalima Shahada as Muslim. etc.

16. However, Lahori Mirzais also consider Mirza to be an appointee of God and consider him a true person. Since Mirza has made all claims as Qadianis believe in – there remain no difference when you consider Mirza to be an appointee of God.

17. rashid, I thought I was making that distinction clear? If not, I apologize.

    If someone believes that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a reformer and a great scholar of Islam, I might look at him funny, but will leave it at that. After all, such a person has the liberty to reject or reinterpret the outward Kufr MGA brought. For example, Martin Lings (Rahimahu Allah) in his book “Muhammad, Life and Times Based on the earliest sources” made several major mistakes. But, I’d give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was in agreement with Islam.

    However, the moment someone says “I believe he is a prophet”, he’s simply not a Muslim.

    I hope that distinction is clear.

18. I think the second qadiani khalifa(QK2) is to blame for the extreme views of the qadiani ahamdis. If you research his writings from 1911 to 1922 you will see an attempt to seperate from islam. You will see hate towards muslims.

    Mirza Mahmud didnt want to associate with muslims. He wanted isolation. He even forbade his followers to marry muslims. Even though the Quran allows believers to marry believers, the Quran shuns the believers to marry the non-believers. But, since QK2 didnt consider muslims as believers, he dis-allowed these marriages.

    The irony of all of this that the QK2′s sister-in-law married a non-ahmadi in 1908, after the death of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad apporoved this marriage on the basis that the boy would be given a copy of hakeetutul wahy(1907). The QK1 read the nikkah, and Mahmud participated in all the marriage rituals. This marriage was performed in qadian.

19. Correction brothers,

    Yes, you are missing out some basic points.

    1. There are several meanings of Khatam, so definitely one of the meaning of Khatman-nabiyen should be the last of the prophets, Ahmadis believe Muhammad (PBUH) as the last Shariyat bearer prophet. And Mirza Gulam Ahmad should be prophet but he is a shadow prophet. He should be, because of the second coming of Issah (AS). In Hadis, 2nd coming of Issah is mentioned as prophet (mentioning him Isah Nabiullah). And there is no proof, somebody will loose propechy in his second coming.

    2. If you are non Muslim, you can find several bad references or interpretations of Hadis or Quran. It does not mean Islam and its prophet is false. You should not work such like taking silly implication of writings or alluding interpretation.

    3. Let us settle on main topics, Is Issah (AS) died or in heaven/sky? Mirza Gulam Ahmed is Imam Mahdi or not? If you guys can prove these things wrong, then Ahmadiyyat is false. Why should you bother on arguing silly stuffs?

    I encourage you all to mail me personally to discuss this issue, or however, discuss in this forum. For Allah’s sake don’t use abusive languages and naive comments.

20. Please moderator withdraw my comment “I am not a Pakistani” it is added my mistake. I do appologize for any kind of implication

21. QUOTE-Mirza Gulam Ahmed is Imam Mahdi or not?UNQUOTE

    I think this is a good question and I have personally read several books of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed that lead me to question if Mirza Sb could be a prophet or not. As an example I quoted his reference of Brahin-e-Ahmadiyya and asked many Ahmadis to explain where he seems to say that pious Ahmadis cannot differentiate if they said the prayer or if they had sex with their wives. If you happen to know something about it, please let us know. It appears in Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya vol 5 page 196-197.

22. Dictionaries basically deal with the single words and NOT with compound words. Compound words (i.e. phrases, terms and idioms) are usually not discussed in dictionaries. Such compound words (phrases, terms and idioms) are the subject of the usage of these terms, phrases & idioms in the classic literature of any language. And thus it is the Established usage of these “Combination of Words” in the classic literature of any language which defines the true meanings of such compound words. Every language has Established norms of some compound words used in some specific meanings. The issue of the Terms “Seal of the Prophets, Seal of the Saints and Seal of the Poets etc.” lies in the category of the usage of “Compound Words” in some specific meanings. For example, in Arabic, (Sabeel) سبیل means “Way” and (Ibn) ابن means (Son). Thus, as far as words are concern ابن السبیل should mean “Son of the Way”. But anyone who have read basics Arabic literature knows that ابن السبیل always refers to a Traveler. I had tried http://translation.babylon.com/ for knowing the meanings of ابن السبیل and it showed it as “The son of the way”. But according to established usage of the “Compound Words” ابن السبیل in the standard Arabic literature, it always means a “Traveler”. Similarly, in English, everyone knows the meanings of the word “Pulling” & the word “Legs”. Thus, should the meaning of the combination of these two words be taken as literal? i.e. according to the dictionary meaning of the two words separately? Or it means “to laugh at”? Although, these examples does not 100% apply to the terms “Seal of Prophets, Seal of Saints & Seal of Poets etc.” but, to some extent, it shows the basic dishonesty and deception which Mullahs commit to misguide the people. Because, in the case of the Term “Seal of the Prophets” even one of the MOST famous dictionary of Quranic words titled as “Al-Mufridaat fee Ghareeb al-Qur’an” (which you have also referred) supports Ahmadiyya interpretation. In this famous dictionary Hadhrat Imam Raghib writes that “The real (primary) meanings of “Khatam” is to have the ability to create an alike impression whereas its meaning to CLOSE is secondary” Copy of Arabic passage of Imam Raghib from his “Al-Mufridaat fee Ghareeb al-Qur’an” is attached along with its Urdu translation. Therefore according to most famous Dictionary of Imam Raghib, Khatam is one who creates his own impression in others. It is strange that Anti-Ahmadiyya people present one or two sentences from “Al-Mufridaat fee Ghareeb al-Qur’an” of Imam Raghib while hide its detailed passage supporting Ahmadiyya interpretation of the same word “Khatam”. It also reflects their dishonesty.

    Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that “Khatam of ——“ Means “The LAST of ——“. As anti-Ahmadiyya claims. Then why they could NOT produce even a single example from the Classic Arabic usage of this term/phrase/idiom supporting their claim? Raza Shah Pehavi was the LAST of the King from Pehalvi family. Similarly, Bahadur-Shah Zafar was the Last of Muhghlia Kings. Can Mullahs show a single evidence fro standard Arabic history book using the term “Khatam of Kings” of their respective family????? Can they show even a single evidence of any FAILED King who lost kingdom of his family referred as “Khatam of Kings” of that family???

    Following are numerous evidences of the Term “Khatam of various qualities/qualifications” meaning THE BEST, MOST PERFECT, embellishment and ornament from standard/classical Arabnic literature.

    1. KHATAM-UL-AULIYYA

24. It is very interesting to note that Ahmadi mullahs have taught their followers about irrelevant writers but have not given a hint about their sacred religious scripture what does it say about Khatam-un-Nabiyyin. This is the height of deceit. Just to quote a few items from Qadiani religious scripture:

    قران بعد خاتم النبین کے کسی رسول کا آنا جایز نہیں رکھتا خواہ وہ نیا رسول ہو یا پرانا ہو۔
    The Quran does not sanction the advent of any prophet after the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad(SAW) whether he is a new one or old one.
    (Izalat-ul-Auham, Page 511 (761), 1885)

    ہریک دانا سمجہ سکتا ہے کہ اگر خدا یتعالے صادق الوعد ہے اور جو آیت خاتم النبین میں وعدہ دیا گیا ہے اور جو حدیثوں میں بتصریح بیان کیا گیا ہے کہ اب جبرییل بعد وفات رسول اللہ ﷺ ہمیشہ کے لیے وحی نبوت کے لانے سے منع کیا گیا ہے۔

    Every wise person can understand if Allah is true in His promise and the promise that is given in ayah khatam-un-nabiyyin and explicitly explained in ahadith that now after deat of Holy Prophet pbuh Gabriel has been forbidden forever to bring the wahi of nubuwwat.
    (Izala-e-Auham pg 577, 1885)

    آیت یہ ہے ما کان محمد ابا احد من رجالکم و لکن رسول اللہ و خاتم النبین یعنی محمد ﷺ تم میں سے کسی مرد کا باپ نہیں ہے مگر وہ رسول اللہ ہے اور ختم کرنے وال ہے نبیوں کا۔
    The ayah is that ما کان محمد ابا احد من رجالکم و لکن رسول اللہ و خاتم النبین that is Muhammad pbuh is not the father of any of your men but he is messenger of Allah and last of the prophets.
    (Izala-e-Auham pg 614, 1885)

    آنحضرت ﷺ کے خاتم النبین ہونیکا قایل اور یقین کامل سے جانتا ہوں اور اس بات پر محکم ایمان رکھتا ہوں کہ ہمارے نبی صلعم خاتم الانبیا ہیں اور آنجناب کے بعد اس امت کے لیے کوی نبی نہیں آییگا نیا ہو یا پرانا ہو۔
    I believe in Holy Prophet pbuh being Khatam-un-Nabiyyin and know it with full faith and have strong faith in the fact that our prophet pbuh is Khatam-ul-Anbiya and after him not prophet will come for this ummah, be it new or old.
    (Nishan-e-Asmani, pg 30, 1892)

    آنحضرت ﷺ نے بار بار فرما دیا تھا ۔ کہ میرے بعد کوی نبی نہیں آے گا اور حدیث لا نبی بعدی ایسی مشہور تھی کہ کسی کو اس کی صحت میں کلام نہ تھا اور قرآن شریف جس کا لفظ لفظ قطعی ہے۔ اپنی آیت کریمہ و لکن رسول اللہ و خاتم النبین سے بھی اس بات کی تصدیق کرتا تھا۔ کہ فی الحقیقت ہمارے نبی ﷺ پر نبوت ختم ہو چکی ہے۔
    Holy prophet pbuh has informed again and again that no prophet will come after me and hadith la nabiyya ba’adi is so famous that no one can doubt its authenticity and Quran whose each and every word is final testifies it through its ayah و لکن رسول اللہ و خاتم النبین that in fact prophet hood has finished on our prophet pbuh.
    (Kitab-ul-Barriya, pg 217-218, 1898)

    How stupid for Qadiani Mullahs to refer to irrelevant sources.
