Incident #1
In Surah al-’Araaf verse 143, Musa عليه السلام asks to see Allah. Allah says, “You will never (لن) [be able to] see me”. Then the light of Allah shone upon a mountain which crumbled to dust. That alone caused Musa عليه السلام to faint. Allah cannot be seen.
Incident #2
Once, Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani was traveling from one city to another when, to his amazement, the heavens opened up and a figure appeared sky. The figure said, “O ‘Abd al-Qadir! I am God. Because of your devotion to me, I removed the burden of prayer to me from you!”
Did Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qadir rejoice? Was he happy? No, he said to the figure, “Shut up you enemy of Allah!” Continue reading →

Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided. Surah Yasin, Verse 21
The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم directed us to pay 2.5% of one’s end of year savings. This is the absolute minimum Allah has commanded us to give, which is distributed directly to the poor, not even to the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم. While giving is good, and truly necessary in some circumstances, the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم never made a general mandate to give money except to the poor.
However, the Ahmadiyya faith has created a new law: Chanda. Often described as a “financial sacrifice”, Chanda is a fee paid by all Ahmadis merely for being Ahmadi. This fee, a tithe, is given directly to the religious authorities. Tithes were not a practice of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم, and thus constitutes a new religious innovation – a new law created in the faith, despite the claim that Mirza Ghulam was a “non-law-bearing” prophet.

In one of his works, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani attributes a hadith to Imam al-Bukhari’s collection which does not exist in it. See Rohani Khazain vol.6 p.337 (هذا خليفة الله المهدى)
In their bid to defend Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, his followers take a lot of pain. Malik Abdul Rahman, author of the much celebrated Ahmadiyya Pocket Book, not only clutches at straws but goes even further to put doubt to the very fundamentals of Islam to justify the gimmicks of the false claimant of prophethood.
In the Ahmadiyya Pocket Book, pages 517-518, he comes up with various arguments to dilute the issue and presents the worst possible alternatives.
He alludes to two Ahadith of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم:
Narrations about the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم erring about the number of raka’ahs:
Firstly, there is a narration in which the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم mistakenly said the final salaam of ritual prayers (salaah) at the end of two raka’ahs instead of four raka’ahs..

It is common knowledge that Ribaa (usury) is haraam in Islam. Allah says in the Qur’an,
[3.130] O you who have believed, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied, but fear Allah that you may be successful. [4:161] And [for] their taking of usury while they had been forbidden from it, and their consuming of the people’s wealth unjustly. And we have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. [30:39] And whatever you give for interest to increase within the wealth of people will not increase with Allah. But what you give in zakah, desiring the countenance of Allah – those are the multipliers.
[2:275] Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, “Trade is [just] like interest.” But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah . But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] – those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
In fact, Ribaa is the only thing that Allah سبحانه و تعلى and his Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم declare war on in the entire Qur’an:
[2:278-279] O you who have believed, fear Allah and give up what remains [due to you] of interest, if you should be believers. And if you do not, then be informed of a war [against you] from Allah and His Messenger. But if you repent, you may have your principal – [thus] you do no wrong, nor are you wronged.
The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said,
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas’ud: The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) cursed the one who accepted usury, the one who paid it, the witness to it, and the one who recorded it. (Sunan of Abu Dawood, Hadith 3327)
The Ahmadiyya community on the other hand, an organisation whose founder claimed to be the reviver of Islam, an organisation that sees itself as the saved sect of Islam, has no qualms in accepting interest. The following table was taken from the website of the Charity Commission that shows the interest income of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association United Kingdom in 2010:
The justification given by the Jamaat:(Annual Reports and Financial Statements 2009, p. 15)
How can that serve as justification? While the income from interest may be small compared to the overall income, it’s the principle that counts. Allah سبحانه و تعلى clearly forbids interest but according to the Ahmadiyya Community receiving interest payments is acceptable if it’s used for the propagation of Islam. Now, ordinary Ahmadis have to ask themselves: If that was permissible, would Allah سبحانه و تعلى not have given the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم permission to charge interest in order to help with the wars that the Muslims had to fight? Funds were desperately needed yet Allah سبحانه و تعلى never gave permission to charge interest.
Furthermore we have Lord Tariq Ahmad and leaders of the Ahmadiyya Community allowing the use of interest based mortgages (@ 34:00):
Funny enough, Mirza Masroor, the leader of the Ahmadiyya Cult, himself preaches openly against interest, keeping ordinary Ahmadis in the dark about the Jamaat’s own dealings. They know that most Ahmadis will not question the Jamaat and will not bother looking up the financial statements of the Jamaat. Mirza Masroor devoted a whole Friday sermon on this topic:
“Huzur said usury/interest can result in horrendous consequences, rendering well-off people bankrupt and destroying their family life in the process. (…)
Someone once asked the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) about borrowing money on interest due to being in a vulnerable position. He responded that Allah arranges for one who relies and puts his/her trust in Allah and that usury/interest was as much of a sin as adultery, theft etc. (…)
Islam allows the eating of the flesh of swine in extreme cases (2:174); however usury/interest is not permissible under any circumstances as the Qur’an states in Surah Al Baqarah (2:279).”
This is another case of Ahmadiyya hypocrisy. Telling their people one thing while practicing the exact opposite. Ahmadis should question their leadership about this. How can they justify receiving interest for the propagation of Islam when Allah سبحانه و تعلى clearly forbids interest. Why does your Khalifa not practice what he preaches?
Many banks in the UK (such as Lloyds TSB or HSBC) offer Islamic business accounts. The Jamaat could have used any of those banks and avoid receiving interest payments. There is really no excuse left for the Jamaat to justify its bank interest income.
Is Ahmadiyya really the true Islam? Evidence, as shown above, speaks to the contrary.

This is the second installment in a series of articles on four of the early false prophets from the time of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم and Abu Bakr رضى الله عنه. In it, we will discuss their rise, opposition by the Muslims, and eventual defeat.
The next false prophet was Tulayhah al-Azdi from the tribe of Banu Assad near Iraq. Earlier in his life, he had accepted Islam without being called to do so, so he would brag to the Prophet Ahmad صلى الله عليه و سلم, as if he was doing Allah a favor. In response to this, Allah revealed: Continue reading →

During the 12th year after the Hijrah, Al-Aswad al-’Ansi (الاسود العنسي) from ‘Ans, Yemen claimed to be a prophet. He started his movement slow and secretly, but later grew to engulf all of ‘Ans. At the time, Yemen was ruled by Persian Muslims, notably Shahr bin Badhaan, whose father Badhaan had accepted Islam after receiving a letter from the Prophet Ahmad صلى الله عليه و سلم. But Al-Aswad’s forces attacked the Muslims, killed Shahr, and his forcefully married his Shahr’s wife Azaad. Continue reading →
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani claimed that the first ever Ijma’ of the Ummah was on the death of ‘Eisa –may Allah bless him. (See Tuhfa Ghaznawiya page 55-61 included in Rohani Khazain volume 15)
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s contention:
His contention remains that as Abu Bakr –may Allah be pleased with him- recited the verse 3:144 to make the companions believe that Holy Prophet –may Allah bless him- had died, it is an evidence for the death of all the earlier Prophets.
He then quoted (Tuhfa Ghaznawiya p.48, Rohani Khazain vol.15 p.581) a passage from al-Shahristani’s work al-Milal wa al-Nahl to convey that ‘Eisa ibn Maryam –may Allah bless him- has also died.
In one of the most amazing setbacks in the history of the Ahmadiyya, the leadership has ordered a ban on Facebook. In fact, the ban appears to extend to all social networking activities. All accounts are to be deleted immediately. Mirza Masroor, the supreme spiritual head and it appears, Führer of the Ahmadiyya, delivered his edict in Germany, of all places, just two days after we exposed one of his rising and personally-approved stars as, well, a bit of a jack-the-lad really. With egg on his face, and realising that the Internet has damaged Ahmadiyya perhaps irreperably, His Holiness in a fit of pique threw out the baby with the bathwater. Surely the irony of a supreme leader claiming to be leader of a single undivided nation, banning free speech on a social network with “book” in its name couldn’t have been lost on at least some of the Ahmadis present?
