Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyyah and the Pledge of Allegiance to Khilafat • Sayings of the Promised Messiah as • Sayings of Ha d rat Khalifatul Masih I ra • Sayings, up to the establishment of the second khil a fat , of those outside the pledge of khil a fat Those who have not pledged allegiance to the Khilafat-e- Ahmadiyyah have adopted the position that there will not be khil a fat of an individual after the Promised Messiah as ; rather, he has appointed the Anjuman 11 as his khal i fah and has thereby put an end to the khil a fat by person. On the contrary, those who have pledged allegiance to the Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyyah are established on the belief that the system of khil a fat , which was established after the Holy Prophet ( s allall a hu ‘alaihi wa sallam ) has been re-established after the Promised Messiah ( ‘alaihis sal a m ). Which of these beliefs is correct and which Community is on the right path? To find the answer, it is necessary that we turn to the writings of the Promised Messiah as. Moreover, we should seek guidance from the sayings of Hadrat Khalifatul Masih I ra because those now outside the pledge of khil a fat accepted him to be the first khalif a h of the Promised Messiah as. They declared 11. Anjuman here refers to the S adr Anjuman Ahmadiyyah.
