( 139 ) Al-Wasiyyat , when the Promised Messiah has called the Khilafat as a manifestation of the Qudrat-i-Thania of the Lord God Himself, who, in his proper senses, would want to claim that he has the power and authority to depose a duly elected, or appointed, Khalifa? Expulsion of Sheikh Misri In every genuine organisation, there are some hypocrites as well, who seem to be very honest members, but nevertheless they have their own selfish ends in seeking and maintaining their membership. They keep their inner mind carefully concealed. Mr. Faruqi has written that Sheikh Abdul Rahman Misri renounced his membership of the Qadian (now Rabwah) Section of the Ahmadiyya Movement (page 41). But the fact is that for a long time he remained in the Movement in a hypocritical manner. But when the hypocrisy in his mind came to be detected, and proved, he was turned out of the Jama’at. He did not renounce his membership himself. So-called Haqiqat Pasand Party Similarly, in 1956, a few hypocrites broke away from the Movement. They tried to organise a group, calling themselves, “ Haqiqat Pasand Party”, with a good deal of encouragement from the old enemies of the Institution of Khilafat in the Ahmadiyya Movement. In regard to this group, Mr. Faruqi writes: “So much so that in 1956 A. D. quite a number of his mureeds got so disgusted that they openly announced their separation from the Qadiani Community. ” (Truth Triumphs, page 41, 42) A small group of a few individuals has been described here as “quite a number of his mureeds”. This is another instance of Mr. Faruqi’s general tendency to exaggerate everything which appears to throw discredit on the Qadian Section. Hypocrites were found in the Muslim body politic from the early times; and their nefarious tendencies and actions have been alluded to in the Holy Quran as well. Their favourite method has been to exaggerate trifles into big lies, with intensified rumours, supplying details from an inflamed imagination. There is a whole chapter in the Holy Book which carries the title “Al-Munafiqun”. If people of these types are found in the Ahmadiyya Movement as well, it is nothing unusual; nor is there anything unusual if some of them have been expelled from the Movement, nor if some of them have left the Movement themselves, because life on the general pattern in Ahmadi society does not suit them, for various reasons. In fact the history of the hypocrites in the Ahmadiyya Movement is a solid argument in favour of the truth on which the Ahmadiyya Movement has been founded. Sooner or later, the hypocrites betray themselves; or they get exposed from time to time. It is extremely difficult to find any genuine movement, entirely free of this doubtful element; though, of course, it is seldom in a position to inflict any real damage on those it tries to harm.
