Are Ahmadis Not True Muslims? — Page 13
? 13 Fatw a to Murder Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community After declaring Ahmadis as zind i qs [infidels] , Maulav i Ludhi a na vi issues another fatw a, declaring that Ahmadis should be put to death. We should remember that this is not a new fatw a. The history of the Ummah, spread over hundreds of years, bears witness to the fact that people like Maulav i Ludhi a na vi and ulema of his disposition have not only declared other sects as murtadd [apostates] but have also declared them liable to be beheaded. This fatw a has been issued not only against the various sects but, tragically, also against great ulema of Islam. The most painful of all is the occurrence at Karbala [a city in Iraq, best known as the location of the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE], which can never be erased from our minds until eternity. The justification for spilling the blood of Hadrat Im a m H usain ra by Q adi Shurai h , a person in the same league as Maulav i Ludhi a na vi , indicates that muft i s of the nature of Maulav i Ludhi a na vi are not just a product of present times. By way of illustration, we give a list of some pious people from the Ummah who have been branded as k a firs, or called zind i qs, or against whom fat a w a have been issued to be put to death. 5 5 The list is given as following: serial number, name, year of death, and the reference of the document containing an account of the fatw a.
