Ahmadiyyat or Qadianism! Islam or Apostasy? — Page 54
Could this feat have been accomplished by a person who, according to the critics of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community survived and thrived on the financial aid and political patronage of the British Raj. ³¹ The critics of the. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community have their own weird reasons for denying these facts which repeatedly blow up in their face. But have the audiences of these critics ever bothered to ponder over the fact as to why the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community should fight the spiritual leadership of the Raj so vigorously when he allegedly was required to, God forbid, further the British cause and stigmatise the. Muslims as well as Islam ? 82. Have they ever given a thought as to why the British Raj, which ruled the waves, would ever patronise and sponsor such a person who categorically declared that the personified god of the Imperial government, Jesus Christ was 'dead and buried at Srinagar in Kashmir'. 83. Have they ever given a second thought as to why would a person who was allegedly chosen for 'the disintegeration of Islam84 ever invite his alleged patron and sponsor, Queen Victoria, to abandon her own faith and accept Islam which Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad did on several occasions. . Although the critics of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad often quote his book Ayena e Kamalat e Islam against him, 85 yet they conceal from their readership, the fact that within this book, he admonished the British. Queen to repent and invited her to Islam. In his address to Queen. Victoria, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad stated: 'God has been extremely gracious unto thee with material gifts. Desire now the kingdom of the world hereafter. Repent now and obey the. One Lord Who hast not taken unto Himself a son and Who doth not have a partner in His kingdom and glorify thou Him much. Dost thou take besides Him gods who create nothing but are themselves created. . If thou art in doubt about Islam, here I stand to show unto thee, the signs of its truth. ' 86 81. Zaheer, E.
