The
Ahmadiyyah (Qadiyaniyyah), its followers and those who favour
them

Question:
What is the Islaamic ruling about this new religion Ahmadiyyah
(Qadiyaniyyah) and its followers? In addition, when and where
did this religion originate and what is the Islaamic ruling
about people who are in favour of it?
Response:
All Praise is for Allaah the One, and prayers and salutations
upon His Messenger, upon his family and his companions. To
proceed…
The
Pakistan government has ruled these people outside the fold
of Islaam; also, the Muslim World League in Makkah has passed
a similar fatwa.
In the gathering of the Muslim Scholars (Muslim World League)
in the year 1394 A.H. (1974 A.D.), a written statement was
drafted to explain the true principles of this group, how
and when they started, and so on.
Very
briefly, this group has declared that Mirza Ghulaam Ahmad,
an Indian, is a prophet who has received revelations from
Allaah and that no one will be correct in his Islaam, unless
he believes in him (Mirza). He (Mirza) was born in the 13th
century, but Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) has told us in his Book (Qur.aan) that Prophet
Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) is the last of the Prophets; all Muslim
scholars have given a unanimous ruling that whoever makes
the claim that after him (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) there can appear a new prophet is a
kaafir,
because he will be lying about Allaah's Book and about the
hadeeth of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) which states that he (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) is the very last of the Prophets. In
addition, this would be contrary to the consensus of the Muslim
Ummah.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
