Ahmadiyyat or Qadianism! Islam or Apostasy? — Page 265
Maulvi Abul Ala Maududi, whom such scholars of repute as the ex. Mufti of Egypt and member of the Council of the Muslim League,. Hasanein Mohammed Makhluf, consider to be the leader of [non. Ahmadiyya Muslim] scholars² defined a Muslim before the Court of. Inquiry constituted under the Punjab Act II of 1954 and stated that: 'A person is a Muslim if he believes (1) in tauheed, (2) in all the prophets (anbiyya), all the books revealed by God, (4) in mala'ika (angels), and yaum-ul-akhira (the Day of Judgement). ³. Having given this definition of a Muslim, the anti Ahmadiyya mullah was asked if a mere profession of faith in these articles would be sufficient to entitle a man to call himself a Muslim and to be treated as one in an Islamic state. The mullah's curt reply affirmed that such a mere profession would indeed be sufficient. 4. One must admit, one cannot argue against this definition of a Muslim given by Maududi. Should one then not enquire what was the faith of all those people who attended Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad funeral before passing a verdict of apostasy upon them?. According to Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, the Promised. Messiah, the Imam Mehdi and the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim. Community: 'The summary and essence of our faith is that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah. Our belief that we possess in this life and with which, through the favour of God Almighty, we shall pass on to the next life, is that our lord and master, Muhammed, the chosen one, peace be upon him, is the. Khatamal Anbiyya and the best of Messengers, at whose hands the faith was perfected and the bounty was completed through which by treading the straight path, a person can reach God Almighty. " 2.
