Assalamualaikum friends! Today, we’re going to talk about a topic that has been the subject of much controversy in the Muslim community. Yes, you guessed it right, we’re talking about the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. Are they really Muslims or not? Let’s explore this topic together and find out the truth.
Introduction
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community is a religious movement that was founded in India in the late 19th century by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. The community believes that Ahmad is a prophet of God, which is a belief that is not accepted by mainstream Muslims. This has led to much debate and controversy over whether the Ahmadiyya community can be considered as Muslims or not.
What do Ahmadiyya Muslims Believe?
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community believes in the oneness of God, the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the finality of prophethood. However, they also believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a prophet of God and the messiah that was foretold by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This belief is what sets them apart from mainstream Muslims.
Why are Ahmadiyya Muslims not considered as Muslims by mainstream Muslims?
Mainstream Muslims do not consider Ahmadiyya Muslims as Muslims because they believe that the finality of prophethood was sealed with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). They believe that anyone who claims to be a prophet after him is a false prophet and cannot be considered a Muslim. Therefore, the belief of the Ahmadiyya community that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a prophet is not accepted by mainstream Muslims.
What is the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s Response to this?
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community believes that they are Muslims and that their belief in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a prophet does not contradict the basic principles of Islam. They believe that their interpretation of the Quran and the hadith is valid and that they should be considered as Muslims.
What is the Current Situation of Ahmadiyya Muslims?
Unfortunately, the Ahmadiyya Muslim community has faced persecution and discrimination in many Muslim-majority countries. They have been declared as non-Muslims and have been subjected to violence and harassment. This is a sad reality that needs to be addressed by the Muslim community as a whole.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the question of whether Ahmadiyya Muslims are really Muslims or not is a complex one. While their belief in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a prophet is not accepted by mainstream Muslims, the Ahmadiyya community believes that they are Muslims and should be treated as such. It is important for us as Muslims to respect the beliefs of others and to treat them with kindness and compassion.
