The Royal Ahl al-Bayt Institute of Islamic Thought has released its 3rd edition of the 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World. Individuals on this list are ranked based on their influence in 14 metrics of influence:

• Scholarship;
• Political;
• Administration of Religious Affairs;
• Preachers and Spiritual Teachers;
• Philanthropy/Charity and Development;
• Social Issues;
• Business;
• Science and Technology;
• Arts and Culture;
• Qur’an Recitors;
• Media;
• Celebrities and Sports Stars;
• Radicals; and
• Issues of the Day.

The report has other useful information, such as an essay on the Arab Spring, the Amman Message, and a breakdown of theological, political and political persuasions.

The list does not shy away from controversial figures, such as Hasan Nasrallah or members of pseudo-Islamic leaders, such as Shah Karim al-Hussayni, the current Aga Khan. It simply presents influential self-identified Muslims of considerable clout.

Now for a Short Analysis:

In 2001, Mirza Tahir Ahmad claimed that the worldwide Ahmadiyya population was roughly 200 million worldwide. With the “World Most Influential Muslims” report approximating 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide, that means the Ahmadiyya population would account for 12.5% of the world’s Muslims. Ahmadis are required to formally pledge allegiance to their leader. In theory this means 12.5% of the world’s Muslim population currently pledges to Mirza Masroor Ahmad. So a curious question arises…

…Why isn’t Masroor on this list? With 200 million followers and millions of Chanda pounds (ahem, and dollars) at his disposal, he would certainly garner worldwide recognition. Surely all that money does something!

And before you say “persecution!” or the like, this analysis did not take not factor in one’s theological positions. In fact, it opens with the Amman Message, which speaks of acceptance. After all, Aga Khanism no longer even performs Salah (Namaz) as Muslims do, but their leader is on the list!

Perhaps Masroor is not on the list because the world’s fastest growing, most dynamic, and active Muslim community is not the fastest growing, most dynamic and active Muslim community. To repeat a statistic earlier mentioned, according to leaked statistics, the Ahmadiyya population in the UK is roughly 22 thousand. The number of British converts to “regular” Islam from the UK alone exceeded the entire UK Ahmadiyya population. Its worth considering.

If you are a current Ahmadi, take a look at your local Muslim community. Not a mere isolated visit, meet people, talk, and pray with us. Perhaps get involved in a project or two. I would love to hear what you find.

May Allah bless all those who love the Prophet Muhammad

Recently, Sr. “Findings” released a secret internal document regarding the theft of £400,000 ($624,840) and the subsequent cover-up. Her blog post is here: Confessions of a Cult Girl.

£400,000 is a big deal, I am not denying it. But this itself does not make the Ahmadiyya faith false, nor is this unique to Ahmadiyya. Instead, this draws into question Chanda, a law invented by Mirza Ghulam mandating payments to the religious leadership.

Allow me to paint a scenario: Lets say you believe Mirza Ghulam was Imam Mahdi, metaphorically Maryam عليها السلام, the “second” Messiah عليه السلام, Krishna for the Hindus, a complete manifestation of Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم, et al in one. However, due to its mismanagement, dishonesty and its agenda, you lost trust in the people who run the Nizaam. To you, it has gone astray from the true path of Mirza.

But there’s a lingering question. What about Chanda? Can you refuse to pay? Or are you still obligated to pay no matter what? Can you refuse to pay until certian demands are met?

You are not in a position to organize a consciousnesses objection against Chanda until the practice of, say, public humiliations are ended. Why? Because payments are mandatory specifically to the Nizaam! So can you do anything?

There are a few main charities that I contribute to. I researched them to make sure there was no wide-scale abuse, etc. If I felt that one of them was mismanaging its funds through whatever means (ie, large overhead costs), I would simply refuse to donate to it. And I have exercised this right. Allah has made the practice of giving money a highly praised act, but he did not specify one specific organization, perhaps precisely for this reason!

‘Umar bin al-Khattab رضى الله عنه wanted his governors to live extremely austere lives. He used to take an account of his governor’s savings before and after they took office. Any additional savings were confiscated and redistributed to the treasury of the Muslims. He did not automatically assume that they were all righteous men (even though they were). This is the second khalifah being hard on the Sahaba! So how can some Ahmadis live under this false notion of “The leaders of Ahmadiyya are men of God, they do no evil”. I guarantee you the governors of ‘Umar were closer to Allah and yet were more open to public scrutiny.

If the Nizaam is corrupt, yet you are still required to fund its corruption, something is wrong. Seriously wrong. And as a low-ranking Ahmadi, there seems to be no way distance yourself and your money.

My solution: Chanda is said to also be given to help humanitarian causes around the world. If I was in your shoes, I would withhold my Chanda, cut out the middle man, and give directly to a cause I felt was best. But that’s just me. Then again, I believe Chanda is a Bid’ah.

May Allah guide us all to what is true.

و صلى الله على سيدنا محمد و على آله و سلم

Looks like we’ve generated a spin-off site! For those who don’t know, Sr. “Findings”, a Muslimah-revert born into an Ahmadi family, has been leaking damning insider-information about the Ahmadiyya internal behavior. Many of these are reports that even the common Ahmadi is not aware of. They speak of abuses, lies, anti-Muslim attitudes and cult-like behavior.

The website is: http://cultgirlconfessions.blogspot.com/.

Here is an except from her blog (and yes, the text was in pink):

So in short, I am a Paki Ahmadi (Qadiani/Mirzai) by birth and reverted to Islam a few years back (by the grace of the Almighty) but this isn’t your average revert story. I am not open and out there and there’s a simple reason for that: I was born into a CULT and so, my journey ain’t an ordinary one! I can’t leave the Cult just yet because quite frankly, I have nowhere to go (pull out the violin bruv..let’s all go busking!!) It would be just too painful and too awkward to live with my family as an out and proud revert, and all the while, writing out against the Jamaat too. Also if I came out now, I would lose my connection to the Cult and all my inside info would go with it! So I’m biding my time, waiting in the bushes, waiting to jump out and go SURPRISE I am a MUSLIM and have joined the Non Ahmadi Team! Lol! No No, on a serious level, I’m hoping to escape one day and in a civilised fashion (maybe marry a millionaire or run away with the circus or something..though this Cult I am in is one big freak show of a circus..lol).

A quick note on secret Muslims:

In the battle of Khandaq (The Trench), the Muslims in Madinah were under siege by Quraysh and betrayed by Banu Quraydha, one of the main Jewish tribes in Madinah that was in an alliance with the Muslims. After a month’s siege with little food and overwhelming odds, the Muslims were in a desperate state. In that moment, Nu’aym ibn Mas’ud رضى الله عنه, a man respected by both Banu Quraydha and the Quraysh, accepted Islam. The Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم knew that one additional soldier could not do much, so he ordered Nu’aym back to his people under the guise that he was not a Muslim.

Nu’aym created a plan: He went to the Quraysh and tricked them into thinking that Banu Quraydha regretted their betrayal of the Muslims and were planning on executing 10 of Quraysh’s best men as a sign of renewed loyalty. He simultaneously persuaded Banu Quraydha that the Quraysh had grown tired of this month-long siege and would go back to Makkah, thus leaving Banu Quraydha to fend for themselves. To guarantee the maintenance of the alliance, Nu’aym suggested that Banu Quraydha should demand 10 of Quraysh’s best men as hostages, to be executed should Quraysh flee from the battle.

Banu Quraysha demanded the 10 men, and Quraysh refused to hand them over.

The trick worked, and the alliance between Quraysh and Banu Quraydha dissolved. This gave the Muslims the ability to defeat the now divided army of the Ahzab. Lesson learned: One Muslim on the inside can bring great benefit to the Muslims.

Mirza Masroor recently claimed that 480,000 people converted to Ahmadiyya this year alone. I’m sure that was met with excitement and joy. Lets analyze.

Here are their reported conversion statistics between 1993 and 2001.

1993 – 204,308
1994 – 421,753
1995 – 847,725
1996 – 1,602,721
1997 – 3,004,575
1998 – 5,004,591
1999 – 10,820,226
2000 – 41,308,376
2001 – 81,007,631 – Yes, they reported 81 million converts in 2001
2002 – 20,654,000
(source: http://www.qern.org/wiki/display/qarchives/The+200+Million+Figure, removed from the official website)

Notice they reported that their numbers were routinely doubling every year. In 2001 alone, they allegedly doubled their entire population. The rumored reason for the sudden drop was because a tribal chief became an Ahmadi, so it was presumed that his entire tribe followed suit.

This year, Mirza Masroor claimed 480,000 conversations, around the same number who converted in 1994. I’m not saying he’s lying, this could be accurate. But, given that they have played numbers games, it does seem highly suspect.

Just some things to think about:

1. If a chief leader converted to Ahmadiyya, it was merely presumed that the entire tribe followed suit;
2. Why is it that this faith reports millions upon millions of worldwide of adherents, and is growing beyond all conceivable leaps and bounds, yet is largely unheard of outside academia and the Indo-Pak community?
3. When people leave Ahmadiyya, even if publicly or en masse, they are maintained on the Tajneed list;
4. Between 1995 to 2005, despite boasting millions of converts, an internal leaked document revealed that in the UK they only secured 218 converts to Ahmadiyya; whereas Islam has spread quite rapidly.
5. For a faith that claims its about quality not quantity, they sure do a good job of boasting their numbers!

About a decade ago, if someone embraced Islam at our masjid, there were jubilant shouts of takbeer, hugs, exchanges of contact information and invitations for dinner. We still have that, but now now so many people convert to Islam that its, frankly, routine. Its not uncommon at all, easily several times a week. Its not something we boast about or advertise either. Instead, we have our New Muslims Support group (which other masjids are copying now) and keep doing what we’re doing.

To our Ahmadi readers, think for yourself, use your God-given mind, and question the Murabbis. May Allah bless us all.

و صلى الله رسول الله

• Most of the leaders of the Ahmadiyya cult are hypocrites who do not fear Allah (SWT). e.g. the head of Ahmadiyya-Morocco does NOT pray at all, and a senior Egyptian Ahmadi leader wrote dozens of love letters to a married Ahmadi woman.
• These leaders are certainly experts in dirty and dishonest tactics.
• Money and UK visa are the real motives of most of the MTA3 (Arabic Ahmadiyya TV) members.
• Hatred against every Muslim is the real message of the Ahmadiyya leaders.

Some Ahmadis may think that I have got these confidential correspondences by hacking into the MTA3 website. No, I am not a hacker. I had simply received these leaks some time back through postal mail. When the sender felt my reluctance to publish them, he decided to send some of them to the well-known Arabic newspaper, Al-Wafd, which wrote the following article about the MTA3 leaks on 10-May-2011:

http://www.alwafd.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=43516

Since Al-Wafd has already exposed the content of some of these correspondences to its Arabic readers, I finally decided to translate few of them for the English readers of TheCult.info.

MTA3 Leaks: Anti-Anti Tactics

The vast majority of the leaked MTA3 correspondences were written in Arabic. However few of them are in English, like this one in which MTA3 members discuss the best tactics for answering a new Ahmadiyya Awareness website. Indeed hacking was the first option:

The second interesting tactic is to avoid mentioning the names of the opponents, even if they are just translators like me. According to the secretary of the Arabic Ahmadiyya Section, this tactic is enough for killing the opponents’ arguments. In this letter, Hani Taher wrote the following to the Ahmadi writer, Fathi Abdussalaam, who is the host of many MTA3 programs:

((Dear Fathi, As-salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

These are my comments on the article which you wrote against the Muslim priest Fuad. I suggest that you should amend your article accordingly:

1- Try to avoid lengthy arguments; otherwise it would be difficult for the reader to understand.

2- There is no need for commenting on every single line. For example, Fuad has answered Deedat, but this has nothing to do with us.

3- When you say “The damage caused by Fuad is the greatest damage”, this would be considered as flattery. You should not give Fuad such certificate; for he is not more than a translator in most of his writings.

4- You should not mention the name of Fuad Al-Attar too much. By this you would increase his degree. You have mentioned his name more than 120 times in your single article. I suggest that you should not mention his name at all.

5- Your lexiconical research is too long, and I am not sure about its accuracy. As you are aware, the dictionary meaning for a word is not the whole argument.

6- It is not possible to understand most of your article without referring to Fuad’s article and reading it carefully. This causes two problems: First it is an indirect request for reading Fuad’s boring article. Second it makes things more complicated for the reader)) – Click Here to see the leaked document

Yes, this is the same Hani Taher who considers demonstrations against tyranny as a sort of backbiting. For God’s sake, he is calling me here a “priest”!

The third tactic is to avoid discussing the meaning of Khatam-un-Nabiyyeen in the beginning of the TV programs. According to MTA3 key members, this issue shall be shifted to the end of the programs in order to avoid losing the attention of the Muslim listeners. Here are the directions sent by Mustafa Thabit to the Ahmadis who host MTA3 programs:

((I would like to bring to your attention that our programs do not address the members of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat only, but also the people who do not accept our beliefs. Most of them indeed do not believe in our master al-Imam al-Mahdi (as). If we start our program with the meaning of Khatam-un-Nabiyyeen, I am afraid that many people will not continue watching the program. They may think that we want to present our beliefs against the high degree of our master Rasulullah (saaw). Therefore I suggest that the subject of Khatam-un-Nabiyyeen shall be addressed at the end of the program only, not at the beginning)) - Click Here to see the leaked document

The fourth tactic is “Hypocrisy” by hiding your true beliefs. Here is an example in which the most senior MTA3 member Mustafa Thabit (died in Aug 2010) was asking the other members to avoid mentioning the Takfeeri belief of “All non-Ahmadis are Disbelievers and Kafirs”:

((Dear Hani Taher,

As-salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

I suspect that this person, Haj Farooq, is working for the secret Egyptian intelligence. This is what br. Amru concluded after speaking with him. Amru is the one who answers all MTA3 callers, and he is the one who can judge their honesty or intentions to deceive Ahmadis.

Amru has talked many times to that [Arab] person; [Haj Harooq is a liar], he claimed that he had read the book of Baraheen Ahmadiyya! There are also some other things which indicate that this guy lied when he claimed that he is an Ahmadi.

I do not have any objection against the Tafseer of Hazrat Second Khalifa which you mentioned [that all non-Ahmadis are Kafirs], it is definitely the truth. However the truth should not be told all the time. Part of the truth is to do Dawah to Allah, but the truth should not be told to everyone unconditionally. The truth should be revealed in the best way. Many Ahmadis, especially the new Ahmadis, do not follow the wise and good way for telling the truth, this has caused so far a lot of problems for them and for the Jamaat.

Yes sir, Allah says in His Holy Book: “Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is the third of the three”. But does this mean that we shall announce on our TV that these people are Kafirs Kafirs Kafirs.

Also, Allah Almighty says “Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah, He is the Messiah, son of Maryam”, does this make it lawful to publish this verse in our programs, or to announce that whoever says that “Allah is Issa ibn Maryam” is Kafir Kafir Kafir)) - Click Here to see the leaked document

However, to be fair to both Hani Taher and Tamim Abu Dakka who are the hosts for most of MTA3 programs, they did not agree with this tactic. They both replied to Mustafa Thabit that Ahmadis must make it very clear that “All non-Ahmadis are disbelievers and Kafirs”. Hani Tahir who belonged to a Takfeeri group before joining Ahmadiyya replied:

((We should make it clear for people that Kufr and disbelieving the Promised Messiah (as) is not different from disbelieving any other prophet. And that whoever disbelieves any single prophet is a Kafir who does not believe in Allah Almighty; his belief is useless even if he believes in other thousand prophets. Indeed disbelieving a prophet is the same as disbelieving Allah, since it means rejecting the revelation of Allah….

The second Khalifa made it very clear that the degree of the Promised Messiah (as) is higher than all previous prophets, except Muhammad (saaw). Therefore how could we consider disbelieving the first Messiah as Kufr, but refuse to announce the same clearly about the second Messiah! Since we are saying it clearly that the Jews are Kafirs because they disbelieved the first Messiah, why don’t we announce the same about those who disbelieve the second Messiah)) - Click Here to see the leaked document

MTA3 Leaks: Romeo and Juliet

I will not use actual Ahmadis names in this part since the subject is very sensitive. Many of the leaked MTA3 correspondences reveal the true motives of some Arab Ahmadiyya leaders who appear on MTA3 screen on daily basis.

In this part, we’ll read the story of “Romeo”, a 65 years old Arab Ahmadi. Our Romeo was very eager to receive easy money and to get UK residence visa through the Ahmadiyya Jamaat. Here is the summary of his successful struggle to live in UK and to receive some money from Masroor:

- In 2006, Romeo wrote persistently from Egypt to the head of the Arabic Ahmadiyya Sector in UK. In his letters, Romeo kept asking the UK-Ahmadiyya leaders to help him to leave his country Egypt claiming that he had been facing various forms of persecution and discrimination. However, the UK-Ahmadiyya leaders did not pay much attention to his frequent requests; apparently they knew that most of the Egyptians had never heard about Ahmadis, let alone persecuting them.

Here is a sample letter sent to Abdul-Mumin Tahir and Dr. Hatim. Romeo was trying here to give a clear example about that so-called persecution.

((This is an update to the conspiracy against me: Today 3-Jun-2006 a lady called me by phone; she got my number from a Salafi doctor who opposes me. The name of this lady is Sanaa Rustum, she works as a journalist. She asked me about Ahmadiyya and about the reason why I joined it… After I explained my beliefs she asked me to visit the offices of her magazine “Aakhir Saah” in order to interview me. I told her that the Salafis used to confuse Ahmadiyya with Bahaism, and now they want to confirm this confusion since there is a lot of discussions nowadays about Bahaism. Accordingly I refused to be interviewed since I didn’t want my name to appear in the newspapers, otherwise they would call me everywhere a Kafir, and after that a volunteer will kill me …. She replied that my real name will not be mentioned; I told her if there would be no mention for names then you can get whatever information you need through the internet…..

… To this end, brother, please help me to leave this country since I may fall in some of their traps … I hope you’ll take an action soon to save your brother)) - Click Here to see the leaked document

- When the persecution game didn’t work, Romeo decided to try his luck in getting UK-visa through marriage. So he started sending love letters to “Juliet” (UK-resident) who hosts her own TV programs at MTA3.

Juliet is an Arab Ahmadi lady who got married to “Rafiq”, an Ahmadi from Qadian. She moved to Qadian to live with Rafiq and his family. However she could not bear up what she called “the Hindu culture” of the families of Qadian, therefore she decided to go back to London against her husband’s wish. When Rafiq insisted to stay with his wife, she asked the fourth Qadiani Khalifa to get her divorced from Rafiq. But the later said NO to the Khalifa, accordingly he was kicked out from the Jamaat. As a result, Juliet considers herself now as a divorced woman but Rafiq is still considering himself as an Ahmadi and is still considering Juliet as his wife.

Our Romeo was supposed to coordinate with Juliet for some of MTA3 programs, however after few coordination letters, Romeo changed his tone 180 degrees and started a long series of love letters trying to convince Juliet to marry him. Juliet replied that she cannot marry him because of two main reasons: (1) Rafiq is insisting that she is still his wife since he had never accepted any “Divorce” or “Khulu’a”. (2) She does not want to marry a married man.

Romeo was of course not happy with Juliet’s final decision; therefore he continued sending letters to her with a lot of “My Sweetheart” and “My Soul Mate” stuff. (Click Here) to see sample of his love messages mixed with some of his blasphemies. Here is the translation.

((My Sweetheart JJJJ,

Don’t be angry because of the following light teasing:

Your pin pricks a lot, it pricks you, and pricks me more and more. Mercy to the earth residents brings mercy from heaven, so let us reduce the sharpness of the pin. Assalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmadtullahi wa Barakatuh, for you and your children who are like dazzling jewels. Please teach them Arabic. May Allah bless Muhammad and his family, bless the Muhammadi Messiah and his family; a blessing that changes the billions who do not bless them so that they would bless them.

May Allah bless JJJJ, a blessing that brings tranquility to her soul, and strengthens her heart. May He protect her and her children. May Allah bless his servant RRRR, a blessing that would cause me to marry JJJJ.

My darling, you are a Muslim Ahmadi knowledgeable mother, a revolt believer who opens the doors of understanding. You are the one whom Allah teaches the women of the whole Arab world through her.

I cannot resist talking to you because you are my soul mate. It was necessary for me to find a person to love from the bottom of my heart, a person who understands me very well, and discusses with me the acceptable and the unacceptable things. You are that person, because you are the only Egyptian Ahmadi who can hear the words of my heart. I allowed myself to talk to you about my strong feelings after I left London. My feelings are getting stronger day after day. When I talk to you, I feel like I am talking to the daughter of the holy prophet Muhammad; she talks to me and encourages me whenever you talk.

Didn’t you see our Lord when He caused water to descend from the sky? Thus the black soil became green. I am confident that someone who has had your qualifications would have seen our God when He was doing this magnificent thing. If you didn’t see our God, then you are making a mistake. Anyway, if you have seen Him, please let us know the feelings of someone who saw our God (I mean through mind).

My darling JJJJ, have you seen the beauty of the Jalsa and the preparations for it? Of course you have seen that, but I meant to say: Have you seen the thing behind all of this?

If I could have the power to make wonders, and your soul descends inside my existence, I could have done whatever Allah does. I would have created a planet for you; I would have made the creations servants for you; I would have made the heaven a shelter that sends greetings to you. I would have made the earth an appreciation carpet for your feet))

- After sending around 454 pages of love poems and love letters, Romeo gave up the idea of getting UK-visa through Juliet. As a result, he decided to proceed with Plan (B), which is getting UK-Visa and some money from Mustafa Thabit and some other Ahmadiyya leaders.

Although he was earning enough money from his work as a senior engineer, he kept writing letters to Ahmadiyya-UK asking for money, money and more money. For example, in one of the letters, he asked Mustafa Thabit for sending him 2,000 Egyptian Pounds (Click Here). Later he asked him to pay all the future university fees for his daughter and his son (Click Here). In fact, he even asked his old sweetheart Juliet herself to send him some money; unfortunately she could only send him 600 Sterling Pounds (Click Here).

- Later Ahmadiyya-UK decided to use Romeo’s services for MTA3 programs. They sent him the visit visas which he was looking for (Click Here).

However, he didn’t swallow the idea of “Dawah for Free” when he received the visit visas, as a result he asked Mirza Masroor for compensation against the deductions which have been applied to his salary due to his frequent visits to UK. In this sample Arabic letter to Mirza Masroor he wrote:

((My master Ameer-ul-Mumineen Masroor Ahmad (aba).

With reference to my discussion with Mr. Mohammad Shareef, he asked me to inform you about the expenses which I pay for visiting London and participating in the TV programs, these expenses are as follows:

1- Visa fees plus the cost of airline ticket.

2- I don’t take vacations, and I work after the age of 60 years, accordingly my company deducts 3 days salary against every single day of leave. Please be informed that for each program of Hiwar Mubashir, I spend one week in London, and three days in Egypt for preparation, which means a deduction from my salary equivalent to 450 Sterling Pounds)) - Click Here to see the leaked document

Finally Masroor decided to keep the guy in UK as a full-time MTA3 key-member.

MTA3 Leaks: Ghulami Wahi

It seems that some of the Arab Ahmadis are not aware that the Wahi and Ilhams should be only received by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani and his Khalifas. MTA3 leaks show that some Arab Ahmadis are receiving Ilhams and direct Wahi as well. Here are few examples:

This is an Ilham received by Fathi Abdulsalam who hosts some MTA3 programs:

((Today, Sunday 18-Jun-2006 12:00 noon, I slept for two seconds at the office. I saw the armies of Rasulullah (saaw) after they won the battle of Badr. They did not give the enemy any time for resting. They attacked him time after time. The army did not get any break until they ruined him completely. [Arabic] “I am Allah, the kingdoms of heaven and earth are in my hands. I am saying and repeating to you that you must leave this world, you must call me and be with me, so that we would reorganize this world together. I do not mean organizing the universe because my universe is already organized. Nonetheless I do not mean organizing the earthy world because that is not in your hand. But I mean organizing the world which is connected to you, on which you have impact. I will use you to turn them upside down. I will guard you, I will defend you. Be with me, and I will let you be a star in the sky. I do not forsake, so do not forsake me)) - Click Here to see the leaked document

This is another Ilham received by Samer al-Sabbagh, a new Arab Ahmadi:

((I was waked up early morning by a voice which I heard inside my body. Allah is my witness about this. The voice said: O Abdullah wake up and have a bath. Accordingly I went and got a bath… then I prayed two Nafil Raka’ah.

The same voice instructed me to face the Kiblah, and when I did so, the voice inside me repeated the first four verses of the attached Arabic poem….)) - Click Here to see the leaked document

There is another interesting Ilham by Ekirima Najmi, the Arab Ahmadi who is the Head of the Arabic Translation Department of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat. According to Mr. Najmi, this Ilham is supposed to be about me personally  (though its actual content has nothing to do with me); however the worthy of note point is that the Head of the Arabic Translation Department admitted in this letter that his Arabic is very poor. This is good for you Masroor; the right man is in the right place.

Ekirima Najmi wrote to Fathi Abdulsalaam in 2008:

((My dear teacher, I need your help at this stage by focusing on Arabic Language. Since the time I reached London, I used to translate and read with my own voice the Khutbas of our master Ameer-ul-Mumineen in Arabic. However the vowels are not inserted inside the texts which I receive for the Khutbas. Furthermore, my Arabic is poor, but I could still find some mistakes in the texts although the same texts have already been reviewed by some Arab and non-Arab Ahmadis.

I am trying to avoid making grammatical mistakes, but my Arabic is weak. I didn’t focus earlier on learning Arabic Grammar although I do have the necessary books. I feel some improvement, but I still cannot read 100% correctly. It is indeed not appropriate to read the Khutbas of Ameer-ul-Mumineen (aba) in this wrong way. I would therefore appreciate your help. Some of my teachers advised me that I should strengthen my Arabic first before going deep inside Urdu, otherwise my Arabic would be affected.

On the other hand, I need to know your view about a dream. I supplicated to Allah and I asked him to show me and to give me good news about the demolition of the life of the so-called Fuad Al-Attar. Accordingly I saw in a dream that my son Yasir was watching the motions of his sister Bushra who was born on the anniversary of establishing the Ahmadiyya Jamaat. She was happy and was jumping just to show me that she has grown up and became clever. Before this I saw “Akabir Awali”, my uncle Muhammad’s wife. Then I shifted to Egypt and I saw Mr. Khalid Jalal Izzat who was happy and asked me: “From where you have arrived?”. I replied: “I came from my house of Madinat Nasr”)) - Click Here to see the leaked document

For the record, I do not watch MTA3; I wonder why its senior hosts are holding such loyalty and love for me!

Point to note; each and every speaker requested the Muslims at the conference to pray for the guidance of the members of the Ahmadiyya Cult.

“Mirza Ghulam Qadiani The Great Liar” (Shaykh Mumtaz Ul Haq)

Hafiz Mumtaz Ul Haq, Imam of Streatham Masjid London, exposes the great lies of the Mirza Ghulam Qadiani. Hafiz Sahib also touches on the point of whether the word “Qadiani” is a derogatory term as was recently claimed by Omar Oakes El-Ghamry, the journalist working with the Ahmadiyya cult in their hate campaign against Muslims. (Oakes/El-Ghamry still hasn’t produced the “kill a Qadiani” leaflet, because that particular story was fabricated.)

“Beware the Deception Of The Qadiani Ahmadiyya Cult” (Shaykh Sulaiman Ghani)

Shaykh Suliman Gani, Imam of the Tooting Islamic Centre in South London speaks about the deception of the Qadiani Ahmadiyya Cult who deceive people by claiming to be Muslims and use thought-stopping and misleading slogans like “Love for All, Hatred for None”.

“Ahmadiyya: Inside and Outside” (Shahid Kamal Ahmad)

TheCult.info’s very own, Brother Shahid Kamal talks about the cult aspects within the Qadiani Ahmadiyya organisation and how this is reflected in its internal and external facing behaviour.

“Status Of Khatamun Nabiyeen صلى الله عليه وسلم “- (Shaykh Abdul Majid)

Shaykh Abdul Majid of the Hidayah Academy Crawley gives an inspiring talk on the status and honour of the LAST & FINAL Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.

“The Media Deception Re: The Qadiani Ahmadiyya Cult” (Rayaz Uddin Ahmed, my father)

My father, Rayaz Uddin Ahmed, a regular TV presenter on Islamic channels, gives a brief speech on how the main stream media are deceiving the masses about the beliefs of the Qadianis.

“Ahmadiyya Hate Campaign and Cult Tactics: One Year Later” (Akber Choudhry)

Brother Akber Choudhry, another regular of TheCult.info, discussed the political and media situation surrounding the Qadiani Ahmadiyya “hate” campaigns.

In recent years, the Ahmadiyya Community and its Qadiani followers have increasingly sought to portray themselves as the world’s only peaceful Muslims. This is an awkward proposition for most Muslims, for many reasons. Most gallingly, it disguises the underlying deceit that according to Qadianis, they are the world’s only Muslims. The 1.6 billion Muslims who maintain that prophethood ended with Muhammad of Arabia, in the Qadiani worldview, are disbelievers or kuffaar.

This is readily apparent from the writings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani and his successors. (As a corollary, due to the Qadiani introduction of a new prophet in the form of Ghulam Ahmad, all Muslim schools of thought are unanimous in holding that Qadianis are outside the fold of Islam.)

Of course, the notion that Qadianis are the only peaceful Muslims, apart from its logical fallacy, suggests that all other Muslims are murderous fanatics. To be clear, Qadianis have certainly faced persecution, often at the hands of misguided Muslims, and there is no justification for such behavior. But to use this as an excuse to paint all Muslims as violent savages is wrong and illogical – in the West, at least, this is something we have tried to learn after 9/11.

Many Qadianis, unfortunately, seem oblivious to the dangers of painting with such broad strokes. In an insightful essay published last July, Professor Hussein Rashid calls out the Ahmadiyya for using fears of terrorism to promote opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque. “Their approach,” he argues, “appears to be based on a Good Muslim/Bad Muslim dichotomy that ends up hurting the Muslim-American community.”

Indeed, Qadianis have become darlings of the right-wing media, with their leaders regularly appearing on Fox News to decry the radicalization of Muslim-American youth and promote the bizarre idea, as Prof. Rashid writes, that “a good Muslim should surrender the rights guaranteed by the state” – including the right to express criticism and disagree with one’s government.

Many Qadianis, it seems, are wedded to an old-world authoritarian model of leadership in which one simply does not criticize those in power. It has been suggested that the same mindset that encourages Qadianis to pledge unfailing allegiance to the hereditary and arguably corrupt system of khilafat also promotes the bizarre idea that in a modern constitutional democracy, free citizens should not openly practice their religion or criticize their government’s foreign policy.

Whether you call this approach quietism or blind loyalty, it certainly has ample precedent in Qadiani history. In a pamphlet written in honor of the 50^th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s rule in 1887, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad writes:

This notice of congratulations is from the person known as Yasuu’ the Messiah who has come to the world to rid it of all sorts of deviations; he whose purpose is to establish truth in the world with peace and kindness; so that he may teach people the way towards true love and servanthood to their Creator; and to explain to them the path towards true obedience to their ruler, the Glorious Queen, whose subjects they are.

 

[Roohani Khazain, Vol. 12, Tuhfa-e-Qaisiriyya, p. 253]

It can thus be argued that the Qadiani worldview is motivated by two fundamental values: obedience to the state, and “love for all and hatred for none.” Interestingly, it is certainly plausible, and perhaps even likely, that these two values might come into conflict with each other. Here we can offer two opposing hypotheses. Either the Qadiani administration would choose peace and oppose violent and martial government policies; or it would unfailingly insist on unquestioned loyalty in all cases.

This is obviously not a novel predicament – it has been considered countless times throughout history by all types of communities, and with the exception of cults or autocratic neo-fascist societies, most people of conscience have come down on the side of an individual’s freedom -and perhaps even responsibility – to speak out against immoral and unethical actions of one’s government.

How have Qadianis attempted to reconcile this conflict? It certainly seems that, insofar as they acknowledge that such a conflict exists, that they come down on the side of unquestioned loyalty. Indeed, many critics have charged that the purported Qadiani belief in “love for all, hatred for none” is merely a public relations slogan and categorically does not apply to Muslims. (Interestingly, in many cases, it also seems that “unquestioned loyalty” also does not apply to Qadianis residing in Muslim-majority nations.)

All of this brings us to the founder and managing editor of Ahmadiyya Times. Imran Jattala, based in Los Angeles, is a high-ranking official in the Qadiani hierarchy and has unsurprisingly paid lip-service to the peaceful nature of the Qadiani faith on many occasions. Among his interests, he cites “the promotion of dialogue for peace and tolerance through interfaith outreach.”

On January 8^th, however, Mr. Jattala posted a comment on a PBS article about the murder of Punjab Governor Salman Taseer. He attacks the author for raising the possibility that the U.S. bombing of Afghanistan and Pakistan, with increasing death tolls among civilians, might be linked to rising extremism in the region. And then, in one sentence, he provides a robust data point for how one Qadiani leader reconciles his commitment to peace and his commitment to U.S. foreign policy. “The tasteless scenes of jubilation in the killer’s hometown,” he writes, “in my view make a case for more drone attacks, not less.”

While the London-based Ahmadiyya Community has often been criticized for fomenting anti-Muslim sentiment and its generally pro-war disposition, rarely have we seen such unambiguous evidence of how fragile the “world’s only peaceful Muslims” are in their actual commitment to peace.

I do not profess to know how many Ahmadis, whether in the U.S. or Pakistan, support Mr. Jattala’s contention that more drone attacks on Pakistani civilians are needed. In any case, I hope the Ahmadi community engages in a critical discussion among themselves regarding their commitment to peace and how it should best be operationalized in a world torn apart by war.

Calling for more drone attacks on Pakistani civilians is probably not the best place to start.

((A demonstration is an action that normally consists of asking people to protest against certain wrong situation. As a result a mass group of people would gather and walk in public to show their position against a wrong act that was committed by a president; this president could be a leader of a country, a minister, a general manager, etc))

((Asking people to participate in a demonstration would include backbiting of the president since you need to mention his bad deeds, although he [the president] doesn’t like mentioning of his bad deeds. This is exactly the backbiting which was forbidden by Allah and His prophet))

((Although the Quran didn’t forbid demonstrations, we believe that these demonstrations consist of committing some sins, such as backbiting, opening the door of corruption and killing. It is the duty of Muslims to close the doors of evil whenever they can. This is also applicable to the sit-ins since they also consist of backbiting and opening the doors of corruption))

((Therefore we believe that demonstrations and civil sit-ins are NOT ALLOWED in Islam))

((The reason of the bad conditions of the Arab people is that they are away from the right path and that they do not follow the teachings of Islam. The solution for these bad conditions is to believe in the promised Messiah who took the Islam back to its origins))

This Hani Taher is the same Arab Ahmadi of MTA who wrote the following suggestion on 3-Apr-2006:

((With regard to Al-Aqsa Mosque, I don’t see any problem in giving the Jews a temple below it so that they can use it for worshipping Allah! The entry of the temple can be provided at the western side))

((What is wrong in building multi-levels which gather everyone?)) – The Final Solution & Al-Aqsa Mosque, by Hani Taher,

Indeed, “Love for Tyranny, Hatred for Muslims”, that is Ahmadiyya!

For those who do not know, recently three Ahmadis in Indonesia were savagely beaten and killed by an angry anti-Ahmadiyya mob. The images are disturbing, as extremists continued to bludgeon to death a lifeless body.

TheCult repeats its consistent and on-going condemnation of acts of violence against innocent Ahmadis. No one should be harmed based purely on the religion he espouses. Many of the members of TheCult team have family who are still followers of the Ahmadiyya religion and we are personally offended that potentially even their own parents or siblings could be the victims of such heinous crimes. We pray that after a thorough investigation, all those responsible for the murders are arrested, tried and punished to the maximum extent of the law. Ameen.

I know that no amount of condemnation will stop the most extreme Ahmadis from associating us with violence. In the face of such a calamity, their hatred is directed at anyone who even peacefuly criticizes their faith. To such people we respond, say what you will, we refuse to be victims of your collective judgement. We refuse to be associated with violence and extremism. You might as well stop reading this article from here. Seriously, go away, it does no good…There, now that they’re gone, only the thinking Ahmadis remain!

We all know the verses against killing innocent people or against vigilantism, they have been repeated many times before. So allow me provide you with a unique motivation for condemning acts of violence against Ahmadis, a perspective you might never have considered…

…But first, a relevant predicate…

Imam al-Ghazali رحمه الله, in his The Decisive Criteria between Islam and Hersey, opined that while reason is useful, reason alone is seldom why people hold the positions they do. Rather, reason and logic primarily serve to support a previously-held conviction. Both Muslims and Ahmadis believe they possess a monopoly on reason, while the other is completely bereft. Both sides quote the Qur’an, the prophetic traditions, believe they are true and the other is baseless. So how do we determine who is upon Haqq?

Short answer: The Heart

While Allah does talk about the intellect, the Qur’an primarily speaks in terms of the spiritual heart (قلب). We hear the terms ‘soft heart’ or ‘hearts like stone’. Surah al-Baqarah says, “Allah has placed a seal upon their hearts”, not “intellects”. In other words, the primarily vehicle of accepting the Truth is not through rational arguments, though they do have their place. It is through guidance that Allah bestows upon those he wishes good for. All we have to do is open our hearts.

When an Ahmadi is killed, what is the response from other Ahmadis? Anger! Rage! Hatred! All of which is completely understandable and justifiable! Loss of life is no small matter.

But consider the result: Emotional Ahmadis who are completely unwilling to even consider traditional Islam. The thought cannot enter their minds. They think, “How could I accept the religion of the ones who persecute us? You want me to accept the religion of these savages? No, I will remain Ahmadi!” Thus, they become psychologically entrenched. At that point, its not about reason, its about the negative emotions they have towards traditional Muslims.

A single barbaric act wipes away years of da’wah efforts by those who call Ahmadis to Islam. What’s worse, anyone who peacefully argues against Ahmadiyya with kindness and patience is painted with the same broad brush as the actual extremists. They are the victims of emotion-based rhetoric such as “This is the true face of your Anti-Ahmadiyya!”

One of the biggest enemies in our da’wah efforts to current members of the Ahmadiyya religion is the violence that is done against them, sadly in the name of Islam. Not only because it is evil and sinful, we condemn acts of violence because they undermine our efforts and push Ahmadis further into Ahmadiyya.

It goes deeper than that. Considering that they claim their population is upwards of 200 million, how many Ahmadis have been killed in the entire world since its foundation? A few thousand? Maybe a million? Try 356. That’s 0.000178% of the current population (does not include members who have lived and died since then).

Compare that to the Muslim population in Chechnya (and increasingly now in Dagestan). The wars in the 1990s exterminated 25% of the Muslim Chechen ethnic group. That’s one out of every four people, dead. In Bosnia, the Serbian soldiers were ordered to systematically rape Muslim Bosnian women. Perhaps the most persecuted Muslim group in the world based purely on their religion are the Shi’as who have experienced a May 28th once every few months through masjid bombings, stabbings, beatings and other persecution.

This begs the question, if the numbers are so low compared to the Muslims, why are there websites like ThePersecution.org and Android Phone applications that seemingly advertise their persecution? Because it serves a very useful purpose: To inculcate the “siege mentality” which prevents an emotional person from ever considering traditional Islam with an open heart. The religious elders know emotionalism is an effective tool, and they exploit it.

It is sad what is being done to Ahmadis in various parts of the world. Even if we never come to any sense of agreement, we must always treat each other with kindness and respect, because just like what the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم said about Ta’if, perhaps from the children of the current Ahmadis will arise a generation of Muslims.

May Allah end all violence against all religious groups, including Ahmadis, and continue to bring them to Islam.

و صلى الله على سيدنا محمد على آله و سلم

as-salaamu `alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh

I’d like to share some exciting news with you. Quite a few people have come to Islam from Ahmadiyya in the last month. The numbers are growing by the week of people openly saying what they are doing. We are being told that the work we are doing is having an effect. Alhamdulillah! We take no credit for anything other than conveying the message. If Allah wills, all Ahmadis would come to Islam.

We’re also going to change the site. The existing forum will be ditched for another system. (The old system will still live on, just for reference). The blog, front page and forum will be much more integrated. There will be an FAQ section, profiles on writers and most importantly, a brand new name. Please note, none of the existing content will be lost, insha’Allah.

We recognise that the name “thecult.info” has not appealed to everyone. That we believe it is a cult and that many insiders do doesn’t mean that it needs to be pushed in the faces of those who might otherwise engage, but think the title too hostile. Whilst we have always used the title as a matter of fact and not of insult or hostility, that it is perceived as such is not helpful to dialogue.

My aim has always been to facilitate Ahmadis coming back to Islam, that view is shared by many other writers here. I feel that a more open Ahmadiyya organisation and a more friendly approach between Muslims and Ahmadis can only help. We are not there yet, but I’d like to move towards it. My Iqra interview was meant to emphasise that and the following week’s discussion was a great example of dialogue. We’d like that process to continue and we’d like to openly invite Ahmadis, as we have always done, to the new platform, where Muslims, Lahori Ahmadis and Qadiani Ahmadis can discuss important issues openly.

And peace unto those who follow the guidance.
