Posts about Ahmadiyya
According to the National Congregational Study Survey, there are an estimated 380,000 churches in the U.S.
Inaugurating a new mosque does not help the cause of Monotheism, justice in humanity or pluralism to any significant degree except for a short lived PR.
KMV so arrogantly suggested to Nida ul Nasser in the notorious 44 minute audio, about her success in getting her grievances heard in the social media that 'this too shall pass.'
I have news for KMV, his PR campaign too shall pass. LOL
What may have greater permanence is his lack of knowledge of science and the Quran and his arrogance to not correct himself.
MTA just posted a short clip of KMV answering a question of a young Khadim:
اگر سورج کی تخلیق چوتھے دن میں ہوئ تھے تو اس سے پہلے کیا تھا؟ - YouTube
He talks about life of the planet earth which he just did not remember and made up a number of 20 billion, feeling confident that his audience are either stupid or at least will not bother.
Hear him and then google the age of earth for starters.
He not only says that the earth is 20 billion years old but also with a straight face adds that the Quran also says that and reduces it a little to 18-19 billion years.
'Khalifa of Islam,' does not know much about the Quran and will not correct himself after making false statements.
In the video he also mixes up the Quranic and Biblical narratives about the seventh day of rest.
God could not find a better way to communicate to humanity in the 21st century.
For the devout Ahmadis please do not waste your time in getting this video off line. I have it saved in my library also. LOL
What is the Ahmadiyya view on who the Dajjal is? Is it the British? If so, why does MGA praise them?
Growing up as an Ahmadi, my understanding was that the Ahmadi/MGA's belief was that Dajaal was not this one-eyed person, but rather, the 'Western' nations, or Christianity. Is this the true Ahmadi perspective or have I been misled?
If I am correct, then why did MGA literally take out adverts praising the benevolence of the Queen and Britain, even though technically the British/Christians are seen as the Dajaal, whilst also not forgetting how at the time, the British government had committed countless acts of sheer terror against India? (Also, without turning this into some conspiracy theory, why is there a freemason sign at the top of the advert?)
For a quick historical view of these despicable acts by the British empire, take a look here - https://historiesofcolour.com/THE-BRITISH-RAJ - for those of you that want a few extracts from this link, please see below:
"It is estimated that Britain stole a total of nearly $45 trillion from India during the period 1765 to 1938. The British impoverished India through a taxation operation that equated to systematic theft."
"The British destabilised crop patterns by forced commercial cropping, and left Indians more prone to famines. Between 12 and 29 million Indians died of starvation while India was under the control of the British Empire. In response to the outbreak of famines, the British authorities rarely issued relief, insisting that starvation was a ‘natural’ and ‘necessary’ check for overpopulation. During the Great Famine of 1876-78 in Madras, it wasn’t until 5.5 million Indians had already died that the British authorities began to administer any relief efforts. Instead of giving charity, the British set up labour camps for the poor where Indian workers were fed food portions that were less than 50% of the size given in Nazi concentration camps."
"The building of railways across the Raj is often misconceived as one of the ‘gifts’ that Britain bestowed on India. The railways were in fact paid for entirely by Indian taxpayers, who were also forced to pay higher ticket prices than British personnel and confined to crowded ‘third class’ compartments. British shareholders were able to make extortionate amounts of money by investing in the railways, without ever paying towards the system through their own taxes.
Accordingly, the railway exclusively employed Europeans in order to ‘protect’ these investments. Wages were paid at European rates and the money was largely repatriated back to Britain. In the early twentieth century, Indians were banned from being signalmen, ticket-collectors, and directors of the Railway Board.
The East India Company fundamentally built the railways in order to increase the efficiency of extracting the subcontinent’s resources such as coal, cotton, and iron ore via the ports back to British factories. The railways also enabled the British to transport their troops more quickly across the subcontinent to suppress anti-colonial resistance. As Governor General Lord Hardinge outlined in 1843, the railways were essential ‘to the commerce, government and military control of the country’."
Therefore, as we can see, the British depilated India, killed millions of her citizens and in the process, literally stole her wealth. Why on earth was MGA singing their praises? I'm sure Ahmadi apologists can argue that this information may not be as common as it is today, given that the British empire is no more, but if someone has been sent from God, surely they would know what was really going on?
I'm keen to hear the Ahmadi side to this argument.
The Messiah of Ahmadiyya claimed that Allah named him:
Muhammad himself [1] | Krishna [2] | Adam [3] | Noah [4]| Abraham [5] | Moses [6] | Jesus [7] | David [8] | Solomon [9] | Mary [10] | Yusuf [11] | Dhulqarnain [12] |The Massih [13]
The mujadid of the latter days [14] | The arbiter [15] | The king of the pen [16]
The Bearer of the Seal of Sainthood [17]
References:
1 - Muhammad [A misconception removed]
I have stated repeatedly that, in accordance with the verse: 25 As Buruz, I am the same Prophet Khatamun Nabiyyinsa. It was twenty years ago, in Brahin-eAhmadiyya, that God named me 'Muhammadsa' and 'Ahmadsa' and declared me to be the Holy Prophetsa.
2 - Krishna [Lecture Sialkot]
For the past twenty years or so, I have been proclaiming that just as I have appeared in the spirit of the Messiah son of Maryas for the purpose of removing sins which have filled the earth, so have I come as Raja Krishna—one of the greatest Avatars of the Hindu faith. In other words, I am the same person by virtue of spiritual reality. This is no fancy or speculation on my part. The God of heaven and earth has revealed to me, not once but a number of times, that for the Hindus I am Krishna and for the Muslims and Christians I am the Promised Messiah.
Everything without a reference next to it is from Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya vol 5
3 - Adam
I was given the name Adam in this divine revelation because I was created at a time when the human race had become corrupt and the earth was—so to speak—empty of human beings.
4 - Noah
In the same way, in the earlier parts of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, God Almighty has also called me Nuhas [Noah]
5 - Ibrahim
I have been named Ibrahim, as it was said: 'May peace be upon you, O Ibrahim.’
6 - Musa
I was named Musa, as Allah Almighty says: ‘Treat people with kindness and courtesy. You are among them like Musa, so be patient in the face of their uncouth remarks.’
7 - Jesus(isa)
My eyes remained closed until God had apprised me again and again that ‘Isa ibn Maryam, the Israelite, is dead and will never return, and that for this time and for this Ummah, you—indeed—are ‘Isa ibn Maryam.
8 - David
God named me Dawud [David]
9 - Sulaiman
God also named me Sulaiman [Solomon]
10 - Mayram
God named me ‘Maryam’ and said: ‘Enter Paradise O Maryam, you and your companion.’
11 - Yusuf
God declares me to be Yusuf [ Joseph] by making a specific prophecy.
12 - Dhulqarnain [Lecture Lahore]
…In this sense, I am Dhulqarnain. In some Traditions, too, the Promised Messiah has been called Dhulqarnain in this very sense.
13 - The massih
God named me the Messiah.
14 - The mujaddid of the latter days [Haqiqatul-Wahi]
Therefore, as long as another claimant bearing the same characteristics is not produced in opposition to my claim, my own claim to be the Promised Messiah, who is the Mujaddid of the Latter Days, stands established.
15 - Hakam (arbiter)
Rather, He(God) has named the Promised Messiah as Hakam.
16 - Sultan e qalam (The king of the pen)
This is an indication that the said Imam will be Sultanul Qalam25 and his pen will serve as Dhulfiqar. This prediction is an exact translation of a revelation vouchsafed to me, which was published ten years ago in Brahin-e-Ahmadiyya.
17 - Khatam-e-Wilayat [Bearer of the Seal of Sainthood]
God also named me Ahmad and Muhammad, which is an indication that as the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is Khatam-e-Nubuwwat [Bearer of the Seal of Prophethood], in the same way this humble one is Khatam-e-Wilayat [Bearer of the Seal of Sainthood].
All
In those very parts I have been named Maryam [Mary], ‘Isa [ Jesus], Musa [Moses], and Adam—indeed, I was given the names of all the Prophets. This mystery, as to why I was so named, was not understood.
The explanation provided by the messiah is that he was given (by god) attributes or circumstances similar to those of each and every prophet.
Suffice it say that there is in me a share of the habits, characteristics, and events related to all past Prophets....This revelation of Allah means that my humble self has been bestowed a portion of the particular circumstances or attributes of all the Prophets from Adam onwards—may peace be upon them—who have come into the world from God Almighty, whether they are from among the Israelites or otherwise. There has not been a single Prophet, a share of whose characteristics or circumstances have not been bestowed upon my humble self to some degree. My nature bears the imprint of the nature of every Prophet. This is what God has told me.
In the case of the Messiah, he is claiming to have stuff in common to 124 000 humans throughout history.
If that is truly the meaning of being bestowed the name of a prophet by Allah, its not even worth mentioning. It is completely ordinary. We all have circumstances and attributes that is common to every single human on earth. Let alone the prophets. If the meaning is this insignificant, why would god reveal it?
In Islamic history, Muhammad is considered similar to Moses. Is there any record of Allah naming him Moses?
In my view, if you can be anything, you are nothing.
