Ahmadis versus Qadianis: The Finality of Prophethood

The Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat Islam Lahore represents the true, original Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam, founded by the Islamic Reformer of the 14th Century Hijrah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who was not a claimant to Prophethood and who taught that no prophet, old or new, was due to come after the Holy Prophet Muhammad, the Last of the Prophets.

After the Founder’s demise, many members of the original movement were led astray by the teachings of those who claimed, contrary to the Founder’s published Will, to be his successors. The Qadianis, as that branch of the Movement is generally known, were misled by the Founder’s son, Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad, who was styled the ‘Khalifa’, into believing that the Founder had claimed (God forbid) to be a Prophet, contrary to the Founder’s own statements. They were even taught that anyone who did not accept these beliefs was a kafir or non-Muslim!

The leaders of the ordinary Muslims retaliated by declaring the Qadianis unbelievers and outside the pale of Islam. Tragically, the Founder’s own statements were ignored, and it is a common belief amongst Muslims to this day that the Founder was (God forbid) a claimant to Prophethood.

Maulana Muhammad Ali, however, a leading disciple of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, rallied all Ahmadis who remained faithful to the Founder’s true teachings and split with the Qadianis. The restored Ahmadiyya Movement under the leadership of Maulana Muhammad Ali was named the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat Islam Lahore, meaning, ‘The Ahmadiyya Association for the Propagation of Islam, Lahore’.

The authentic Islamic doctrines of the Founder, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Mujaddid or Divinely Appointed Muslim Reformer of the 14th Islamic Century, are today upheld by the Lahori Ahmadis.
