Truth About the Split — Page 65
65 edited by me (the writer of this book) under the heading "Prophethood among the followers of Muhammad," in which he showed that the only prophethood which could be granted to Muslims was Nubuwwati Juzwi i. e. partial prophethood. (5) While Zahiruddin was circulating his peculiar views, I (the writer of this book) broached the question of Kufr of those who did not formally accept the Bai‘at of the Promised Messiah as. This article, it was stated, was shown to Khalifatul Masih I ra , but in what sense he understood the article is clear from a later announcement issued by Khwaja Kamaluddin and signed by the Khalifa. In this announcement it was explained that the article written by me could be accepted only if it was interpreted as signifying that those who did not accept the Promised Messiah as are only deniers of or unbelievers in the Promised Messiah as , and not actually outside the pale of Islam, for otherwise the article would be opposed to the plain teachings of the Promised Messiah as. (6) Towards the end of the life of Khalifatul Masih I ra , the question again came into prominence, and towards the close of 1913, once again, I made the announcement that the deniers of the Promised Messiah as were all kuffar. I also found fault with the fatwa of the first Khalifa allowing Ahmadis to pray behind non-Ahmadi
