THE PROMISED MESSIAH AND MAHDI. ANSWER:. There is no greater untruth than the above charge. It is totally false and baseless. By the grace of God we Ahmadis are Muslims and we believe in Allah the Exalted, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be on him, and the Holy Quran. There is absolutely nothing against this in the teachings or the writings of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam. Ahmad, the founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement. Ten million. Ahmadis refute this objection by their lives lived in the faith of Islam and by their turning to Qibla five times a day like a true Muslim and by their reciting the Kalima with full belief that there is no God but. Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger. . To remove all doubts, we quote below from writings of. Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah. 1. "The summary and essence of our faith is that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the. Messenger of Allah. Our belief that we profess 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, Muhammad, the chosen one, peace be on him, is the Seal of the Prophets and 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. We believe with absolute certainty that the Holy Quran is the last of the heavenly books and that not a word or vowel point of its laws and limits and commandments can be added to or subtracted from. No revelation can now be received from God which can have the effect of modifying or abrogating the commandments of the Holy. Quran, or of changing any single one of its directions. Anyone who thinks otherwise is, according to us, not a believer, and is a heretic and Kafir. We also believe that even the lowest stage of the straight path cannot become available to a person without following the Holy. Prophet, peace be on him, let alone the higher stages of that path. We cannot attain to any stage of honour and perfection or of nearness to. God except through the true and perfect following of the Holy. Prophet, peace be on him. Whatever is bestowed upon us is by way of reflection and through the Holy Prophet" (Izalah Auham, pp. 69-70). 143
