Critisism of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is the central figure of Ahmadiya community. Ahmadiya community believe that he is Messaih, Mahdi and deputy prophet of God after Muhammad as he claimed the same during his lifetime. Due to the nature of his claims and teachings, he has been criticized throughout his life and ever since his death by many noted individuals and scholars. His critics have existed in 19th, 20th and 21st century. The initial criticism came from Molana Sanaullah Amritsari while he (Mirza Ghulam Ahmad) was alive. They held many debates among themselves during their life time.

Adulaziz bin Abdullah bin Baz
The Quran and Sunnah confirms that Muhammad is the last prophet of Islam. Prophet Muhammad says in a narration of Sahih Muslim that " if there would have been prophet after me, it would have been Umar". Ibn Baz criticizes him for his claiming of prophethood and says that his claims are false and against the sources of Islam ie; Quran and Sunnah.

Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Issuing Fatwas
We examined the religious concepts of Qadyani group which was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadyani who claimed prophethood and being Messaih. Mirza claimed that prophethood never ended on Islamic prophet Muhammad but it continued till date, and he his himself is a prophet and has received more than 10 thousand verses from revelations. All these things are mentioned in his book "Baraheen Ahmadiya" and his booklet "At-Tableeq".

The council also examined sayings of his successor Mirza Bashir ud din Qadyani. We found in his book "Ayinanay Sadaqat" that the Muslim who does not believe in Messaih (Mirza Ghulam Ahmad) whether he knows about him or not, he is a kaffir and out of the fold of Islam.

The Fiqah council announces to all Muslims, Muslim governments, Scholars, Authors that this group and his leader are out of the fold of Islam because of their religious concepts which mainly include finality of Prophethood.

Islamic prophet Muhammad said: Țhere will be many imposters after me, In Silsilatul Ahadith as Sahiha, the Narration is "Every one will claim to be a prophet, whereas I am the seal of the prophets, threre are no prophets after me". In some other narrations he said: If there would have been prophet after me, it would have been Umar. Among these imposters was Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadyani who claimed prophethood and being Messaih. His followers are present in many countries of the world including India, Germany, England and America.

"Enemies wish for my death and prophecise about it. God has, however, given me the good news that I shall live for eighty (80) years or more." (Roohani Khazain, Vol. 19, P. 239; Mawahib-ur-Rahman, P. 21)
