One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:

hood.

Answer:
Ahmadi beliefs
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.
Q-1: Kindly elaborate the differences between
Qadianis and muslims.
Although there are many differences between the beliefs
and practices between the Muslims and the Ahmadis, the two absolute stark differences
which stand out clearly and differentiate the Ahmadis from the Muslim Ummah
are:
- The
Ahmadis don’t believe in Prophet Mohamed (saws) being the Last and Final
Messenger of Allah Subhanah; they believe that their founder Ghulam Ahmad
Qadhiani was also a Prophet of Allah.
- The
Ahmadis don’t believe in the Glorious Quran as the Last and Final Book of
Revelation of the Lord Most High; they believe that their founder Ghulam
Ahmad also received Revelations from Allah.
Q-2: Also please provide answers to their
arrgumnets regarding Hazrat Issa.
Dear and Beloved Brother in
Islam, regarding all the advents of events of the past, present,
and the future, the true
believers believe with absolute certainty only in what is said by Allah
Subhanah in His Glorious Quran, and what
is recorded in the authentic narrations of the Messenger of Allah (saws).
The truth is that the Quran is
silent on the second coming of Jesus Christ to earth, although there are several pointers; but Prophet Mohamed (saws) has stated clearly
in several narrations that the end of time will not come until Jesus Christ (a.s.)
returns back to earth and establishes the Kingdom of God on earth; and that is the belief of every true Muslim.
The
below is one of the clear pointers where first Allah declares that the Jews did
not crucify Jesus (a.s.), nor did they
kill him; but the matter was made dubious to them. And then He declares in verse 159 that there
will be none among the People of the Book (the Jews and the Christians) who
must believe in Jesus Christ (a.s.) before his death; clearly confirming that Jesus Christ (a.s.) will
come to earth, establish the
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 5 Surah Maidah verses 158-159:
157 That
they (The Jews) said (in boast) "We
killed Christ Jesus, the son of
Mary, the Messenger of Allah"; but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them and
those who differ therein are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow. For of a surety they killed him not.
158 Nay! Allah raised him (Jesus Christ) up unto
Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power Wise.
159 And
there is none of the People of the Book,
but must believe in him (Jesus)
before his death; and on the Day of Judgment He will be a
witness against them.
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 4.657 Narrated by Abu
Huraira
The Messenger of
Allah (saws) said, "By Him (Allah)
in Whose Hands my soul is, surely
(Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you, and will judge mankind justly (as a Just
Ruler); he will break the Cross, and kill the pigs, and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation
taken from non-Muslims). Money will be
in abundance so that nobody will accept it,
and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the
whole world and whatever is in it."
Abu Huraira added "If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the
Holy Book): 'And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and
Christians) But must believe in him (i.e Jesus as a Messenger of Allah and a
human being) before his death. And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness
Against them." (4.159)
Sahih Muslim Hadith
6931 Narrated by Hudhayfah ibn Usayd
Ghifari
The Messenger of
Allah (saws) came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a discussion). He (saws) said: “What do you discuss about?” (The Companions) said: “We are discussing about the Last Hour.”
Thereupon he (saws) said: “It will not come until you see ten signs
before and (in this connection), he
(saws) made a mention of the smoke, Dajjal (The anti-Christ), the beast, the rising of the sun from the west, the descent of Jesus son of Mary (Allah be
pleased with him), The Gog and
Magog, and landslides in three
places, one in the east, one in the west, and one in Arabia at the end of which a fire
would burn forth from the Yemen, and would drive people to the place of their
assembly.
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 4.658 Narrated by Abu
Huraira
The Messenger of
Allah (saws) said: "How will you
be when the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you, and he will judge people by the Law of the
Qur'an, and not by the law of Gospel”
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 4310 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
The Prophet (saws)
said: “There is no prophet between me
and him, that is, Jesus (peace be upon him).
He will descent (to the earth).
When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow
garments, looking as if drops were
falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of
Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine,
and abolish Jizyah. Allah will
perish all religions except Islam. He
will destroy the Antichrist, and will
live on the earth for forty years, and
then he will die. The Muslims will pray
over him.”
Sahih Muslim Hadith 6924 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
The Messenger of
Allah (saws) said: “The Last Hour will
not come until the Romans land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of
the people on Earth at that time will come from
Sahih Muslim Hadith
7023 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr
The Messenger
of Allah (saws) said: “The Dajjal (anti-Christ) will appear in my Ummah and he will stay (in
the world) for forty--I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or
forty years. Allah will then send
Jesus, son of Mary, who will resemble Urwah ibn Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) will chase him and kill
him.”
It has also been
reported in authentic narrations of the Prophet (saws) that he said that his
brother and Prophet, Jesus Christ son of
Mary, will die and be buried next to his
grave in
Q-3: end of prophet hood.
In light of the Glorious Quran and various narrations of
the Prophet Mohamed (saws), there is
absolutely no doubt that Prophet Mohamed (saws) was the Last and Final
Messenger of Allah (saws).
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 33 Surah
Ahzaab verse 40:
Muhammad is not the father of any of your men
but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and
the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.661 Narrated by Abu Huraira
The Prophet (saws) said, "The Israelis
used to be ruled and guided by prophets:
Whenever a prophet died, another would take over his place. There will be no prophet after me,
but there will be Caliphs who will increase in number."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.735 Narrated by Abu Huraira
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, "My
similitude in comparison with the other prophets before me, is that of a man
who has built a house nicely and beautifully,
except for a place of one brick in a corner. The people go about it and wonder at its
beauty, but say: 'Would that this brick be put in its place!' So I am that
brick, and I am the last of the Prophets."
Musnad Abu-Dawud
Reported Jabir bin Abdullah that the Prophet
of Allah (saws) said: “Through me the Prophethood was brought to a close.”
Narrated in Muslim, Tirmidhi,
Ibn Maajah.
Reported Ubayy bin Kaab, Abu Said al Khudri, and Abu Hurairah, that the Prophet of Allah (saws) said: “I
have been distinguished from the other Prophets in six things:
- I
have been endowed with eloquent speech,
- I
have been succoured with awe,
- Booty
has been made lawful for me,
- The
earth has been made a mosque for me as well as a means of obtaining
purity,
- I
have been appointed a Messenger for the entire world,
- And, with me, the office of Prophethood has been
closed.
Reported by Tirmidhi.
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, “The
line of Prophethood and Apostleship has come to an end. After me,
there will neither be a prophet or an apostle.”
Musnad Ahmad.
Narrated Abdur Rahman bin Jubair that the
Prophet of Allah (saws) said, “I am Mohamed,
the Ummi Prophet (thrice)”; and
then he (saws) said, “and no prophet will come after me.”
In light of the above aayah of Surah Ahzaab and the
various narrations of Prophet Mohamed (saws), there should be absolutely no
doubt in the mind of any believer that Prophet Mohamed (saws) is indeed the
Last and Final Prophet of Allah, and
there will come no Prophet after him. It is a condition of the faith of a
muslim to believe in Prophet Mohamed (saws) as the Last and Final Messenger of
Allah and any who believes otherwise would leave the fold of Islam.
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.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
