Question:
What is the difference between the Muslims and the Ahmadiyyah
(Qaadiyaaniyyah)?
Response:
The difference between the two is:
The
Muslims are those who worship Allaah alone and follow His
messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and believe the he is the seal of (all)
the prophets, and that there is no prophet (to come) after
him.
As
for the Ahmadiyyah
who are followers of Mirza Ghulaam Ahmad, then they are kuffaar
and not Muslims, because they claim that Mirza Ghulaam Ahmad
is a prophet after Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam), and whoever believes this 'aqeedah
then he is a kaafir
according to all the scholars of the Muslims, as Allaah (Subhaanahu
wa Ta'aala) says:
{Muhammad
is not the father of any man among you, but he is the Messenger
of Allaah and the last (seal) of the Prophets},
[Soorah
al-Ahzaab, Aayah
40].
And
because of what has been authenticated on the authority of
the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) that he said:
((I
am the seal of (all) the prophets, there is no prophet after
me)), [Imaam Ahmad - volume 2, page 398 and 412,
volume 3 page 79 and 248, volume 4, page 81, 84, 127 and 128,
volume 5, page 278; al-Bukhaaree
(Fat.h al-Baaree) number 3535; Muslim
- number 2286 and 2287; Abu Daawood - number 4252].
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.
