May God power your thinking
with peace;
This column is in
response to correspondence about Muslims judging other Muslims about their
faith, and yet invoking the same Islam.
The word Kaffir
simply means someone who hides or denies the truth. However, the usage of the
word has been derogatory. It’s like the
“N” word. You have your preference and mine is not to
use the word at all in general conversation without this understanding. The Prophet did not use it as a derogatory
word, but simply meant that those people who did not agree with his version of
the truth as an identifier. (Refer to
Sura Kafirun – Prophet’s language
should be taught as course in civil dialogue)
The Ahmadiyya are
Muslims, as they believe in the God, like every other Muslim believes;
furthermore, their pledge of allegiance, the Shahadah is same as all other
Muslims – La Ilaha Illal Lahu, Muhammadar Rasool Allah. We should be minding
our own business rather than worrying about others.
No one is responsible
for others burden, you stand alone on the day of accountability of your
actions. No one will be there for you; you have to take the responsibility for
your actions. Let each one of our tribes, and other faiths from the family of
faiths do their best. The best ones among all of us would be the ones who care
for neighbors, and respect God’s creation and those who work towards restoring
harmony, just as God had created the world to be.
Division is natural
among all people, there is a magical number beyond which all groups split, and
Islam is no different. First it was Shia and Sunni, then among Shia there are
many, and Sunni also got split into numerous groups beyond our imagination.
Then Ahmadiyya has three or four divisions and as we grow in size, each one of
our groups will further split… now we have progressive Muslim group in the last
few years, there will be more.
Prophet Muhammad
prophesized about the division, it is a natural phenomenon (fitra) and he used
the number 72/73 tribe, this number is not a real number, and it’s a number to
mean multiplicity. Imagine the class
room where the teacher urges every on to be the best, and there will be only
one first rank and most others pass in varying degrees and one or two may fail.
A few Ulema have interpreted this to mean only one tribe will go to Jannah and
others to hell and shamefully this has been perpetuated without questioning it.
How wrong can we be? We have to learn to respect the otherness of other without
having to agree.
Let Sunnis, Shias,
Ahmadi and their branches all practice Islam as they are taught, let’s not
become God and judge others, instead we need to judge ourselves and be the best human we can. But for God’s
sake let’s not call each other with disrespect, would that be a Muslim thing to
do?
What can we judge? We
can judge the acts that affect our social life – like lying, stealing, robbing,
hurting family members or breaking the contracts and messing with social
cohesiveness (a dynamic value).
What can we not
Judge? One’s faith, period! It is between God and the individual. Only God will
judge how much of a Muslim you were in your heart. When God says he is closer
to than our jugular vein, it means he knows everything we do, think and discard.
No one bears others burden, Islam is about individual responsibility and free
will. There is no compulsion in matters of faith.
The first word
Prophet Muhammad received was Iqra, the broader meaning of which is read to
understand, understand to think and think to create a better world for you and
for others around you.
If you would like me to speak about the
Prophet and his role in creating a better world, I will be happy to do that. It is nothing new; it is from the existing 15
stories that we talk about in every Mosque and probably every Muslim will tell
those little and big stories. What we need to do is Iqra it, think about his examples from a pluralistic perspective. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and
every prophet were committed to create cohesive societies where people got
along with each other and lived without the apprehension or fear of the other.
What is our role in the world? Isn’t it
to mitigate conflicts and nurture goodwill and give back to God, what he
created; a perfect world in harmony? Isn’t that what serving God means?
Remember the first model of the prophet? He was called Amin, the
trustworthy, the truth seeker and the honest. Guess who honored him that title?
It was not Muslims. It’s a model for us
to follow. Let you and I become like him, earn the respect of every human on
the earth, with malice towards none, and with love for all of God’s creation.
Would you want to be the Amin? To be
Amin, we have to use the civil language and earn the trust of all Muslims, and all
other people on the earth. When people
see a Muslim, their first response ought to be – here comes a Muslim, I can
trust this man or woman, he/she will tell the truth, is trust worth and
everything he or she will do is for every one’s good.
Isn’t that the best Sunnah to follow?
Jazak Allah Khair
Mike Ghouse
Muslims Together building a cohesive
world
Mike Thanks for your efforts in bringing community together, but
the problem is that people misunderstood the word “Kafir”
The word “Kafir” is an Arabic word and derived from
“Kufer” which has to fold meaning:
1- To “Disbelieve”
2- To call “Lair” to some one saying a Truth which you
do not believe.
The Holy Book Quran repeatedly used the word Kafir for all those
who deny the Prophet-hood of all Prophet sent by Allah The Almighty.
The debate will never finish, as it was there at the time of Adam,
Nova, Abraham, Moses & Essa, and also at the time of our beloved Prophet
Muhammad (swa) and still exist in our time
I think we should agree with and follow the foot steps of Prophet
Muhammad (swa) when he recited the verses of Surat Al-Kafiroon (chapter 109)
before the leaders of “Kuffar-e-Makkah”
As Mike Ghouse has said earlier ‘We have to learn to believe in
Rabbul Aalameen’ and follow the teachings of Rahmatul Aalameen(swa).
Please spread the message of Allah the Almighty on your own way as
mentioned in Holy Quran. “You are responsible for your own DEED” in
front of Allah The Almighty, and you will not be asked for what others do.
May Allah Bless you all.

TO MY AHMADIYYA MUSLIM FRIENDS – AND NORMALLY I DON’T POST THESE, SINCE MUSHTAQ
WAS NOT JUDGEMENTAL, I HAVE POSTED THIS AT WORLD MUSLIM CONGRESS DISCUSSION
FORUM AND INSHA ALLAH, WILL ALSO POST AT
WWW.WORLDMUSLIMCONGRESS.ORG – AS A RECORD)
You have a very
legitimate argument.
Why are we so bent on
proving “qadianis / ahmadi / mirzai / lahoris” wrong? On the Day of
Judgment are you and I responsible for anyone other than you and me
respectively? Doesn’t Allah say no one will bear the burden of others?
If you are concerned
about protecting the Deen – hasn’t Allah taken that responsibility? Do we want
to become partners with him in that business?
Do we want to go against the prophecy of the Prophet that eventually his Ummah
will be split in too many tribes, and that many was a metaphoric number of 72
or 73. No one will go to hell, until the Day of Judgment, and none of the
tribes will be thrown in to hell as long as they recite the Shahadah, do their
prayers and Zakat, Hajj is an option.
Allah’s wisdom is
rich – when he says, the noblest among you are the ones who know each other,
meaning conflict and diversity is given, but when you know each other, and
accept them as God’s creation, then conflicts fade and solutions emerge. He is
the only one to recompense for the good we do. The “qadianis / ahmadi / mirzai
/ lahoris” are doing good in the communities they live, and serving God’s
creation, and Allah will not be happy with them or anyone who does care for the
neighbor.
Let’s accept each
other. You fight back when someone throws you out of your house, messes with
your family or steals your food, breaks the contracts with you; otherwise, let
others do what they do. You and I don’t own Islam, it is not our property to
begin with, and we follow one version of it, because it works for us.
The above words are not
mine, its all in Quraan.
Jazak Allah Khair

Mike & etc etc,
Just wait any one to claim to be a mahdi, or prophet or bla bla and believe
that same is already provisioned in this pity religion. Islam’s lap is open to
any view you add. Let any one allow to do the modification work to islam.
Whoever sees light of guidance in Quran and Sunnah, must raise his voice for
sake of truth. If 73 liars claiming prophethood could not secure this holy
place in islam, how do we accept it for one-eyed liar of qadiyan, who didn’t
posses ANY of the qualities that Allah’s messangers should possess, although
with any qualities, he couldn’t be accepted as prophet.
Just close your eyes and this afternoon, instead of getting your sick kids to
an established doctor, get them checked from a plain hakim who would lack any
desired knowledge and who would apply contradicting medicine. Am sure you will
not do it as that is matter of life of your kids not of religion.
Pluralism should be sought but going that much behind so as to negate what is
right and what is wrong is petty *sense.
If you are not convinced of that, just go through whole literature of one-eyed
liar Mirza Ghulam Qadiani and his followers, and decide yourselves if a limit
has been left untouched by qadiani devils.
The holy things you see in qadianis / ahmadi / mirzai / lahoris is the part of
islam they follow, and what you ignore is the damage they impart to foundations
of islam.
Pray for divine guidance of all (which for sake of clarification shall not be
given through a one- eyed liar or mahdi, but from quran and sunnah).

MIKE GHOUSE CONDE…

Brother Rashid Jahangiri Sahib;
I am glad to see your
note, and I have seen a similar note from the other Ahmadiyya Muslims as well.
If you read my note, I said, ” If Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad calls you or
me a Kafir, we don’t become one, do we? However, as I understand, he meant
those who disagreed with him”
It appears that some
one has cooked it up to malign one or the other. We need to resist the
temptations to put down any one without knowing it first hand, or an
announcement from their religious leader, all other notes stand the chance of
not being the truth.
Alhamdu Lillah, I
have attended the conferences of both AM and LAM groups, one in Pennsylvania
last year, and the other in Columbus Ohio a few weeks ago and I admire both the
groups for the good work they are doing towards making the world a better
place.
Three Questions:
1. Can you pray
behind any Muslim Imam?
2. Will you consider all others, equally valid, divine traditions?
3. Will you withdraw
calling others Kafir?
We have to learn to
believe in Rabbul Aalameen, Rahmatul Aalameen and us to be Mukhlookhul aalameen
and make our religion to accommodate and absorb all the differences. don’t
worry about what others do or don’t, be the leader take the step and declare –
we are all Muslims and we have the responsibility to create a better world for
every one of God’s creation and see how close you get to God. Amen

Dear Mike Ghouse sahib,
It is ALLEGATION on H. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad sahib that he called
ANYONE kafir (nauzubilah). It is base less allegation by Qadianis and by
opponents of H. Mirza ghulam Ahmad sahib. This allegation is relatively new
by qadianis. This is their effort to cover their beliefs and teachings of
their qadiani Khalifa 2 Mirza mahmud Ahmad. Please see following link to see
yourself what HMGA actually said

take care

( PLEASE NOTE – I
HAVE BLIND COPIES THIS NOTE TO MY AHMADIYYA MUSLIM FRIENDS – AND NORMALLY I
DON’T POST THESE, SINCE MUSHTAQ WAS NOT JUDGEMENTAL, I HAVE POSTED THIS AT
WORLD MUSLIM CONGRESS DISCUSSION FORUM )
As-Salaam Alaikum,
Brother Mushtaq,
May you be drenched in peace and think and act peace.
You are not a Kafir,
no matter who says it, only Allah decides that, not now, but on the Day of
Judgment, giving time and room for people. What we as a society decide is if
you steal, rob, loot, rape and break contracts with people.
If Hazrat Mirza
Ghulam Ahmad calls you or me a Kafir, we don’t become one, do we? However, as I
understand, he meant those who disagreed with him. I have asked the Ahmadiyya
Jamaat (
http://worldmuslimcongress.blogspot.com/2012/03/draft-proposal-to-ahmadiyya-muslims-on.html)
to clarify it, and I have asked them to join me for Iftaar in every
Mosque of every Muslim denomination and do the Namaaz (salat) behind the
respective Imam, when they do that, we can put the matter to the rest.
However, a few groups
are out there like some in Ahle-sunnat, some among Shias, and some among Sunnis
who will not pray in other mosques.. shame on all those who refuse to pray in a
mosque, Allah’s house. It is my Niyya(t) and not the Niyya of the Imam that
matters to me and Alhamdu Lillah, I have prayed in every Mosque (
http://Ramadanexclusive.blogspot.com )
Would you rather listen to Allah?
This is what Allah says, ” Do not curse others, lest, they turn around and
curse you” There is a magical wisdom in it – when Prophet Muhammad was
pelted with stones on his way to Taif – did he curse them back? When Jesus says
turn the other cheek, he means, do not aggravate the conflict, indeed, all the
prophets, messengers and peace makers have said the same thing and have
practiced it.
I listen to Allah and
Muhammad and I will not condemn any one, I will pray for them, would you do the
same? You have to rise above the common fallacies, would you do that? Let’s get
the hell out of mediocrity and do positive things… when some one meets you or
me, they should think, he is a Muslim, a man I can trust, a man who tells the
truth, a man who is not petty, a man who is good to all of God’s creation.
Would you be that
Muslim?

Brother Mike Ghouse said very rightly
to condemn everyone who issues Fatwa of Kufar against others. Qadiani Khalifa
2 Mirza Mahmud Ahmad and his brother Mirza Bashir Ahmad and their followers
declare EVERYOTHER MUSLIMS INCLUDING LAHORI-AHMADIS AS KAFIR. Now question is
if Mike Ghouse impresses us by condemning all such bigots.
Thanks

My Dear Brother Mike
Ghouse
Assalamo Alaikum WW
Yes you are very
right. No one no matter what his position is, be he an Imam of Kaaba, Imams of
Khatme-Nabuwwat, Khalifas of Qadiani Ahmadies, especially their Musleh Maud (
Khalifa Sani ) or their Qamrul Anbiyya ( Brother of Khalifa Sani of Ahmadies )
,Lahori Ahmadies Amirs of Mufties of various Muslim denominations or sects have
no GODDAMNED right to take the place of Allah SWT, kick Him from His Throne and
started issuing Fatwas of Kufar against fellow Muslims and kick them out of
pale of Islam by declaring them or labelling them as KAFIR, be they Sunnis,
Wahabies, Shias, Barelvies, Deobandies, Ahmadies ( Qadianies or Lahories ) Let
us all condemn all those Ulemas who gave such Fatwa-e-Kufar against fellow
Muslims. All those issuers of Fatwas of Kufar are Cursed by Allah SWT and
promised by Him Everlasting Hell.
We are all Muslims by
the Grace of Allah SWT.
MUSHTAQ MALIK
So ahmed Ismail, when
did you kick Allah out of his throne and took over from him? Are you Allah, the
master of the day of judgement?
No one has goddamned
right to judge another persons faith, it’s between Allah and the individual.
You are not God and
you should not be judging who is Muslim or not.

” Qadiyanis are
non muslims.mirza qadiani was a british agent,who planted him to harm muslims
of india.shame on mirza lanti qadiyani
shame on his lanti
followers.”
We have seen Mullahs hiding under the burqa in the past and now we see some one
among us also doing the same shameless trick.
Let us be really ashamed for this Hijdas act.
Any way, as regards to the allegation of Ahmadies being British agent, replies
in very much indetail were given so many times before and it need not be
repeated again.
But, I want to ask a simple question.
Who could be a British agent?. The peple like you who holds the same belief of
these Britishers ( Christians ) whose belief is that, Jesus ( Isa -as ) is
above Muhammad Rasululla (sa) due to his superior qualities or Ahmadies, who
sitting right in their middle and claim that their God-Jesus is dead and buried
in Kashmir in India.?
Further, by boldly preaching the truth of Islam to every individual there and
slowly converting their churches and Synagogues in to Mosques where Allah
Towhid is broad casted continuously. Is this the way to become agent for
Britishers? Shame on you,

Is it not a shame for a country which gave such an

glory and fame to his country?
And this, for what fault?. Because, he believed in Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
