Dear
Brother,
Asalaam-O-Alikum,
Are the Qadiyanies (Ahmadiyas) regarded as Muslims, since they consider
themselves to be Muslims?What makes their deviations worse than the deviations
of bohras?

Answer:
Difference Ahmadi and Bohra
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person,
no grave, no prophet, no
imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah
Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the
seal of His Messengers.

The Qadiyanies (Ahmadis) declare their belief in the
advent of another prophet after the death of the Last and Final Messenger of

Question: What makes their deviations worse than the deviations of bohras?
Although some misguided sects in Islam like the Ismailies
or the Bohras believe and commit manifest acts of ‘shirk’, they
declare and believe in the Oneness of Allah Subhanah, they declare belief in
all the Prophets, they declare belief that Prophet Mohamed (saws) was the Last
and Final Messenger of Allah, they declare belief in all the Revelations of
Allah, they declare belief in the Glorious Quran as the Last and Final
Revelation, they declare belief in all the Angels of Allah, they declare belief
in the concept of the Hereafter, and they declare belief in the Divine
‘Qadr’ or Destiny.
Because these sects do not violate or declare disbelief in
any of the six conditions of ‘emaan’ or faith in their declaration,
they will legally be considered as ‘muslims’ in the sight of
Shariah and the believers in the life of this world, and all the rights that
are due to a believer will be accorded to them in full.
It is only on the Day of Judgment that Allah Subhanah will
Judge them regarding their intentions and their actions, and if they are Judged
by the Lord as having committed ‘shirk’ with Him, they will be
condemned to the exact same punishment as meted out to the
‘mushriks’. But because they profess belief in the Oneness
of Allah and His Last and Final Messenger (saws), they will be considered
‘legal’ muslims in the sight of Shariah and the believers in the
life of this world, and every single right which is due to a muslim will be
accorded to them in full. It is only
on the Day of Judgment when Allah will hold them severely accountable for their
abominations of ‘shirk’.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah
Maidah verse 72:
Whoever commits ‘shirk’ (invoking
anything with Allah), Allah shall
forbid for him
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and
He is the Only Source of Strength.
