INDIAN MUTINY OF 1857. Finally, Abdul Hafeez attempts to make a capital issue of the assistance afforded to the British Raj by the feudal lords of. Qadian during the Indian sepoy mutiny of 1857. 72 In the first instance, he ought to realise that this assistance was given to the. British not by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as or the. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community but by Mirza Ghulam Murtaza who belonged to the Jamait e Ahle Sunnat wal Ahle Hadeeth of. India and not Jamaat e Ahmadiyya. Hence, neither Hadhrat. Ahmadas nor the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community can, under any criterion, be held responsible for the actions of Hadhrat. Ahmad's ancestors who subscribed to a school of thought whose leadership committed itself to his opposition after he established the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. More so when it has already been shown that it was a decree of God Almighty that the name of Hadhrat Ahmad's as ancestors be blotted out and a foundation of a new family be laid with him. Hence, he stated that God Almighty had revealed to him that: as 'He will cut off thy ancestors and will begin thine family with thee. 173. Such a Divine promise of the beginning of a new dispensation with Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as was also recorded by the. Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community on another occasion when he stated that God Almighty had informed him: 'God, Who is the Possessor of many blessings and Who is. Lofty and Pious has increased your piety over and above your family. From now on, the mention of your family would cease and God will lay the foundation of a beginning with you. ' 72.
