Extreme Lies and Verdicts of Disbelief Against the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at — Page 19
A Review of the Pakistani Government’s “White Paper”: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam [ 19 ] This is a matter of Sharia. Anybody who calls a believer as k a fir [disbeliever] becomes a k a fir himself. Therefore, since 200 maulav i s declared me a k a fir , and applied the fatw a [edict] of kufr [disbelieve] upon me, the natural consequence—fully supported by their own fat a w a is—that someone who addresses a believer as k a fir becomes a k a fir , and similarly, someone who declares a k a fir as believer also becomes a k a fir. ( Haqiqatul-Wahi , p. 164, R uha n i Khaz a ’in , vol. 22. p. 168) That is to say, the response of the Promised Messiah as was the natural consequence of the situation caused by the opponents; he was left with no other choice. The Promised Messiah as also referred to the h ad i th that I mentioned ear- lier. He says: The Holy Prophet s a says: Whenever a Muslim declares another Muslim as k a fir , such caller himself becomes a disbeliever. ( Sunano Ab i D a w u d , Kit a b-us- Sunnah , p. 484, published in 1983, Lahore, Pakistan) Again, in an answer to a question that was posed to him, the Promised Messiah as said: We do not declare anyone, who adheres to the kali- mah [creed of Islam], outside the pale of Islam.
