Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and its Responsibilities to Khilafatmuzaffertahir9
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
and its Responsibilities to Khilafat
The topic of my speech is: “The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and
its responsibilities to Khilafat.” This important subject has two main parts:
the first will answer the questions: what is the Ahmadiyya Muslim
Community? Why did Allah establish it in this age? And what divine favors
has Allah bestowed on this community which other Muslims don’t receive?
The second part will cover the duties Ahmadi Muslims must discharge to
the Khalīfa of the time and the institution of Khilafat.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is that divine Jamā'at of sincere
and devout believers, which the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet (saw)
prophesized about. The prophecy was that God Almighty would raise a
Promised One, as a Messiah and Mahdī, at the beginning of the Islamic
14th century, and as a result, a community of pious and righteous souls
would arise at the hand of this great spiritual reformer. The Promised
Messiah’s divine mission would be to bring people back to God by restoring
the religion of Islam to its original spiritual eminence at the time of the Holy
Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) and his companions.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was divinely initiated 123 years
ago in 1889 when Islam was under foul attack from all directions by its
enemies. The condition of the Muslims was desperate and without hope.
They were being devastated by their own immorality, religious ignorance
and deadly sectarian strife. This left them divided and helpless against the
zealous preaching of the Christian missionaries who flooded India after
British rule began in 1857. These missionaries boldly predicted that the
cross of Trinity would stand atop the Holy Ka’aba in Mecca as a sign of the
victory and superiority of Jesus over Muhammad, of Christianity over Islam.
Ahmadiyyat “Real Islam”
Founded in 1889, it spans over 207 countries with membership exceeding tens of millions. Its current headquarters are in the United Kingdom.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a dynamic, fast growing international revival movement within Islam.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the only Islamic organization to believe that the long-awaited Messiah has come in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) (1835-1908) of Qadian.
Ahmad(as) claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus(as) of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad(sa).

In accordance with Divine promise a messenger of God was sent in this age to safeguard the teaching of Islam
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) elucidated that this is not the age of Jihad of the sword
Islam is replete with the teaching of love and peace and today this teachings needs to be propagated.
A true Muslim knows that God is Salam (the Source of Peace) and wishes security for His creation.

His Holiness also presented Ms Hadeel Qassim, with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Prize for the Advancement of Peace in recognition of her outstanding efforts to personally alleviate the suffering of thousands of refugee children stranded in dangerous and inhospitable camps in the Middle East.
During his address, His Holiness spoke of the fundamental need for justice and equity at all levels of society in order for genuine and long-lasting peace to be established.
He called on the media to use its influence
“as a force for good and a force for peace”
by publicising the positive activities of the majority of Muslims across the world as opposed to the
“tiny minority”
who were perpetrating mass cruelties falsely in the name of Islam.
Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“In the very first chapter of the Holy Quran, it is stated that Allah the Almighty is the ‘Provider and Sustainer of all the worlds’. He is the Gracious and Ever Merciful. Thus, when Allah the Almighty is the Provider and Sustainer of all people and the Gracious and Merciful – how could it be that He desired for those who believed in Him to mercilessly murder, violently oppose or harm His Creation in any way? Of course the answer is that it is not possible.”

Defence Against the Plague and a Criterion for the Elect of Godmuzaffertahir9
Defence against plague - A Criterion for the Elect of God
Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
By
The Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdias,
Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
Foreword
The Promised Messiahas wrote this booklet in April 1902, when the
plague raged rampant in the Punjab. He mentions his revelations
about the spread of the plague and points out that the outbreak of
plague had occurred because the Messiah appointed by God was
not only rejected, but was also taunted and tormented, even to the
extent that plans were hatched to murder him. Moreover, he was
derided as a kafir [disbeliever] and dajjal [antichrist]. The earlier
scriptures prophesied the outbreak of plague as one of the signs
that would appear during the time of the Promised Messiahas.
The Promised Messiahas points out that the real solution to
the problem is that people should accept the divinely appointed
Messiah with sincerity and truthfulness, and bring about a holy
change in their lives.
Based on divine revelation, the Promised Messiahas wrote:
…however long the plague remains upon the earth—even
if it should last for seventy years—God Almighty will
safeguard Qadian from its horrific destruction… (see p. 18)
viii HaDrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
He added:
This is my sign; each and every opponent—whether
he lives in Amroha or Amritsar, whether in Delhi or
Calcutta, whether in Lahore, Golra, or Batala—if any of
them should swear on oath that their area of residence
shall remain free from the plague, then it will surely be
swept up by the plague, for they would have committed
insolence against God Almighty. (see p. 30)
However, none of the opponents dared to make such a proclamation
and, in accordance with the prophecies of the scriptures,
the plague proved to be a mighty sign of the truthfulness of the
Promised Messiahas.1
The Promised Messiahas attaches two endnotes to the books as a
warning to Charagh Din of Jammu, who was once a member of
the Community but had made claims to revelation and published
material contrary to the message of the Promised Messiahas. The
Promised Messiahas excommunicated him and admonished him
to repent. In the second endnote the Promised Messiahas recorded
a revelation about his utter destruction should he fail to repent.
This prophecy was fulfilled in 1906, as the Promised Messiahas
wrote:

The keynote address by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Delivered at Capitol Hill, Washington D.C., USA, 27th June 2012
An Overview of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community is a religious organisation, with branches in more than 193 countries. It is the most dynamic denomination of Islam in modern history, with an estimated membership of one hundred and sixty million worldwide.
It was established by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908) in 1889 in a small and remote village called Qadian in Punjab, India. He claimed to be the expected reformer of the latter days and the awaited one of the world community of religions (the Mahdiand Messiah of the latter days). The community he started is an embodiment of the benevolent message of Islam in its pristine purity that promotes peace and universal brotherhood based on a belief in the Gracious and Ever-Merciful God.
On 14 March 2015, the World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the Fifth Khalifa, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad delivered the keynote address at the 12th National Peace Symposium hosted by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK.

Islam Peaceful Religion
A LECTURE BY HADRAT MIRZA MASROOR AHMAD, KHALIFATUL MASIH V, SUPREME
HEAD OF THE WORLDWIDE AHMADIYYA MUSLIM COMMUNITY DELIVERED AT THE
UNIVERSITE D’ABOMEY- C A L AVI COTONOU, BENIN, DURING HIS RECENT M O S T
SUCCESSFUL VISIT IN GHANA, BURKINO FASO, BENIN AND NIGERIA
Dear students and staff members at this university,
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah.
I have been asked to shed some light on Islam as a peaceful religion. In view of the
shortage of time, I can only address this subject briefly.
Whenever one wishes to speak about Islam as a religion of peace, the question
naturally springs to mind that whereas there are so many religions in the world such
as Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc., when it comes to finding out
whether Islam is a religion of peace, why should Islam be the odd one out?
One reason for this is that a few years after the beginning of Islam, anti-Islamic
powers began a propaganda that Islam is a religion of extremism and violence and
wants to compel others into belief by means of the sword. This, of course, is
incorrect. In the beginning, the Muslims of Makkah suffered persecution but they
remained silent. Finally, they migrated to Madinah but there too the disbelievers
hounded the Muslims and forced upon them a battle to which I will revert later. The
proof against those opponents who allege that Islam was spread by the sword is that
although the disbelievers of Makkah raised all sorts of objections, yet history stands
witness to the fact that the people of Makkah themselves never complained that the
Muslims had used the sword against the disbelievers to compel them to change their
faith.
Secondly, what has given Islam a bad name is an ugly and awful image of extremism
presented, whether knowingly or unwittingly, by some Muslim groups and.................
The Qur’anic View of Interreligious Dialogue and Harmonypaperpublications3
Abstract: The Qur’an, being the revealed text, preaches love, tolerance and sympathy for others. Peace, security, co-existence and human dignity are the central teachings of the Qur’an. The promotion of interreligious harmony and peace is one of the key aspects of the Qur’anic teachings. Today, the Qur’anic teachings have been misunderstood and misinterpreted in various ways. This is mainly because of the ignorance about the core teachings of the Qur’an and also because of some Muslim-named people, who are involved with terrorist activities, trying to gain their own interests. The purpose of the present study is to examine the basic teachings of the Qur’an regarding interreligious harmony through interreligious dialogue. It includes the life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as a burning example of interreligious peace and harmony.

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad makes remarks during interview with Dutch News Agency
On 5 October 2015, the World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the Fifth Khalifa (Caliph), His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad was interviewed by the Dutch News Agency, Omroep Gelderland.
Asked about changes in the perception of Islam amongst Western society in the 60 years since the Mobarak Mosque in Den Haag (The Hague) was opened, His Holiness said that during the past six decades people had drifted away from religion and this was not limited to Islam.
However, His Holiness said that there was a growing perception that Islam was the root cause of today’s problems and conflicts but that this notion was entirely wrong.
His Holiness said that whilst Muslims had moved away from the true teachings of their faith, the religion in its original form was a means of uniting society, rather than dividing it.
Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“In reality, the Holy Quran is a beacon of peace and we Ahmadi Muslims are striving to portray Islam’s true teachings throughout the world. Each year hundreds of thousands of people are joining the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community from all parts of the world.”

73 Divisions in Islam and One True Jama' atmuzaffertahir9
Introduction
It is commonly said that religions are more a cause of division than of unity, for mankind. It would therefore follow that if all religions are from One God, then surely He is to blame for the sorry state of our world? However, unsurprisingly, quite the opposite is true. God has always been a source of unity for man, and it is man that has repeatedly chosen to break away from this unity. The teachings of God has always provided a perfect guidance for a just and peaceful existence, when people estrange themselves from those teachings, the result is that they are no longer practiced, and that is when true faith leaves the hearts of people. It is through God's Mercy that He sends down reformers to re-establish the true faith in the earth, these reformers are invariably faced with opposition and enmity from those around them. History abounds with such examples.
A similar reformation was started by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) in Indo-Pak subcontinent in late 1800's. He established the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam and claimed to be the Promised Mehdi and Messiah for Muslims. His purpose in establishing such a movement was to reform and collect a party of servants of Allah dedicated to the service of mankind and bringing people closer to Allah. However, the religious divines of his time saw him as a threat to their beliefs and thus stepped up their opposition to his message. The greatest of opposition and persecution came from his fellow Muslims. Leaders of Muslim groups or Mullahs regarded Ahmadi Muslims to be out of the pale of Islam but their hostility did not stop there.
In 1953 the political expediencies of some Mullahs prompted to exploit the Ahmadiyya Muslim issue which resulted in the eruption of mob violence. This agitation was launched by Majlis-e-Ahrar which had no political career in Pakistan because of its anti-Pakistan stance during partition. They tried to use this issue to seek some political standing in newly established Muslim state by exploiting people's religious feelings a fact that was later established by Munir report. In 1974, seeing its grip loosening on the government, the party in power again staged a drama and exploited the same issue to turn the events in their favor. Being under tremendous pressure from King Faisal, according to The Guardian (UK) (9th Sept. 1974), Mr. Bhutto staged the Rabwah incidence and dumped the matter into the lap of national assembly which turned itself into a special committee. This committee invited the leaders of all the sects considered to be associated with the Islamic faith (72 in number) to hold a debate on the matter of Finality of prophethood (i.e. if a prophet could come after Muhammad, peace be upon him, or not) with the leadership of Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam. The proceedings of these hearings were never made public. At the end of this pseudo-hearing all the leaders of 72 sects unanimously declared Ahmadis to be non-Muslims, which the special committee adopted as an..

ہم مسلمان ہیں اور احمدی ایک امتیازی نام ہےmuzaffertahir9
اسلام بہت پاک نام ہے اور قرآن شریف میں یہی نام آیا ہے لیکن جیسا کہ حدیث شریف میں آچکا ہے اسلام کے 73فرقے ہو گئے ہیں اور ہر ایک فرقہ اپنے آپ کو مسلمان کہتا ہے ۔ انھی میں ایک رافضیوں کا ایسا فرقہ ہے جو سوائے دو تین آدمیوں کے تمام صحابہ ؓ کو سبّ و شتم کرتے ہیں۔ نبی کریم ﷺ کے ازواج مطہرات کو گالیاں دیتے ہیں۔ اولیاء اللہ کو بُرا کہتے ہیں ۔ پھر بھی مسلمان کہلاتے ہیں ۔ خارجی حضرت علی اور حضرت عمر رضی اللہ عنہما کو بُرا کہتے ہیں اور پھربھی مسلمان نام رکھاتے ہیں۔ بلاد شام میں ایک فرقہ یزیدیہ ہے ۔ جو امام حسین ؓ پر تبرہ بازی کرتے ہیں اور مسلمان بنے پھرتے ہیں ۔ اسی مصیبت کو دیکھ کر سلف صالحین نے اپنے آپ کو ایسے لوگوں سے تمیز کرنے کے واسطے اپنے نام شافعی ، حنبلی وغیرہ تجویز کیے۔ آج کل نیچریوں کاایک ایسا فرقہ نکلا ہے جو جنت ، دوزخ، وحی، ملائک سب باتوں کا منکر ہے۔ یہاں تک کہ سید احمد خاں کا خیال تھا کہ قرآن مجید بھی رسول کریم ﷺ کے خیالات کا نتیجہ ہے اور عیسائیوں سے سن کر یہ قصے لکھ دیے ہیں ۔ غرض ان تمام فرقوں سے اپنے آپ کو تمیز کرنے کے واسطے اس فرقہ کا نام احمدیہ رکھا گیا۔

’لا نبی بعدی‘ حدیث کا ترجمہ اور مفہوم صحابہ اور بزرگان امت کے مستند حوالے
مارے آقا و مولیٰ حضرت محمد مصطفی ﷺ کو اللہ تعالیٰ نے قرآن کریم میں خاتم النبیین کے عظیم الشان لقب سے سرفراز فرمایا ہے ۔ جس کے معنی عربی زبان کے محاورہ کے مطابق سب سے افضل اور بزرگ ترین نبی کے ہیں ۔ جو نبیوں کامصدق اور زینت ہو اور جس کی کامل اتباع سے خادم اور امتی نبوت کا فیضان جاری ہو ۔ قرآن کریم کی متعدد آیات اور احادیث یہی مفہوم بیان کرتی ہیں ۔
عض لوگ حدیث ’لا نبی بعدی‘ کا قرآن کریم کے بالکل خلاف یہ ترجمہ کرتے ہیں کہ حضور ﷺ کے بعد کسی قسم کا نبی نہیں آسکتا۔
اس حدیث کا ترجمہ اور مفہوم صحابہ اور بزرگان امت کے مستند حوالوں کے ذریعے پیش کیا جارہا ہے ۔
خلافت کے بنیادی معنی جانشینی کے ہیں۔ اسلامی اصطلاح میں نبی کے جانشین کے لیے خلیفہ کا لفظ استعمال ہوتا ہے۔ اس کے علاوہ قرآن شریف میں اللہ تعالیٰ کے نبیوں حضرت آدمؑ اور حضرت داؤدؑ کے لیے بھی خلیفہ کا لفظ استعمال ہوا کیونکہ وہ الٰہی صفات اختیار کرنے کےلحاظ سے روئے زمین پر اللہ تعالیٰ کے مقررکردہ جانشین ہوتے ہیں جن کو خلافت، نبوت عطا کی جاتی ہے۔
مذہب اور نبوت و خلافت کا تصور لازم و ملزوم ہے۔ قرآن شریف میں اللہ تعالیٰ نے گذشتہ قوموں جیسی خلافت مسلمانوں کو بھی عطا کرنے کا وعدہ فرمایا بشرطیکہ وہ ایمان اور اعمال صالحہ بجالاتے رہیں۔ ف
Khatm e-nubuwwat ختم نبوت ۔ قرآنی آیات کی روشنی میںmuzaffertahir9
حضرت مرزا غلام احمد قادیانی مسیح موعود و مہدی و معہود ؑ، بانی جماعت احمدیہ فرماتے ہیں’’مجھ پر اور میری جماعت پر جو یہ الزام لگایا جاتا ہے کہ ہم رسول اللہ ﷺ کو خاتم النبییّن نہیں مانتے یہ ہم پر افترائے عظیم ہے۔ ہم جس قوّت ،یقین ، معرفت اور بصیرت سے آنحضرت ﷺ کو خاتم الانبیاء یقین کرتے ہیں اس کا لاکھواں حصہ بھی دوسرے لوگ نہیں مانتے اور ان کا ایسا ظرف بھی نہیں ہے۔ وہ اس حقیقت اور راز کو جو خاتم الانبیاء کی ختمِ نبوّت میں ہے سمجھتے ہی نہیں ہیں ، انہوں نے صرف باپ دادا سے ایک لفظ سنا ہوا ہے مگر اس کی حقیقت سے بے خبر ہیں اور نہیں جانتے کہ ختم نبوّت کیا ہوتا ہے اور اس پر ایمان لانے کا مفہوم کیا ہے ؟ مگر ہم بصیرتِ تامّ سے (جس کو اللہ تعالیٰ بہتر جانتا ہے ) آنحضرت ﷺ کو خاتم الانبیاء یقین کرتے ہیں اور خدا تعالیٰ نے ہم پر ختمِ نبوّت کی حقیقت کو ایسے طور پر کھول دیا ہے کہ اس عرفان کے شربت سے جو ہمیں پلایا گیا ہے ایک خاص لذّت پاتے ہیں جس کا اندازہ کوئی نہیں کر سکتا بجز ان لوگوں کے جو اِس چشمہ سے سیراب ہوں۔ ‘‘ (ملفوظات۔ جلد اول ۔صفحہ ۳۴۲)
جماعت احمدیہ مسلمہ کے خلاف نشر ہونے والے دو پروگرامز پر تبصرہmuzaffertahir9
کچھ روز قبل میڈیا پر یہ خبر نشر ہوئی کہ کابینہ کے اجلاس میں یہ فیصلہ ہوا ہے کہ پاکستان میں اقلیتوں کا ایک قومی کمیشن بنایا جائے اور احمدیوں کو بھی اس کمیشن میں نمائندگی دی جائے۔ اس خبر کا ایک نمایاں پہلو یہ تھا کہ اس سلسلہ میں احمدیوں کی طرف سے کوئی مطالبہ نہیں کیا گیا تھا کہ انہیں اس کمیشن میں شامل کیا جائے۔ جماعت احمدیہ کا موقف اس حوالے سے بڑا واضح ہے اور سینکڑوں مرتبہ بیان کیا جا چکا ہے۔
یہ قدم خود ذمہ دار افراد اور کابینہ کے بعض اراکین کی طرف سے اُٹھایا گیا تھا۔ لیکن یہ خبر نشر ہونے کی دیر تھی کہ پورے ملک میں ایک ناقابل فہم شور شرابے کا آغاز ہو گیا۔ پہلے تو وزیر برائے مذہبی امور پیرنورالحق قادری صاحب نے بیان دیا کہ اس پر بحث ہوئی تھی لیکن ابھی کوئی فیصلہ نہیں ہوا۔ آئین پاکستان کے مطابق قادیانی غیر مسلم ہیں۔ پھر چودھری شجاعت حسین صاحب، سپیکر پنجاب اسمبلی پرویز الٰہی صاحب، اور وفاقی وزیر طارق بشیر چیمہ صاحب نے کہا کہ خواہ مخواہ پنڈورا بکس کھول دیا گیا ہے۔ پھر وفاقی وزیرعلی محمد خان صاحب کی طرف سے ایک مختلف بیانیہ سامنے آیا۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ عمران خان صاحب نے تو اس تجویزکی مخالفت کی تھی اور کہا تھا کہ جب تک قادیانی اپنے آپ کو غیر مسلم نہیں سمجھتے اس وقت تک وہ کسی کمیشن کا رکن نہیں بن سکتے۔ اس کے بعد مختلف چینلز نے اس بارے میں پروگرام کرنے شروع کیے۔ اور حسب سابق ان پروگراموں میں کوئی ٹھوس علمی یا قانونی بات کرنے کی بجائے مختلف سیاسی پارٹیوں کے نمائندوں کو بلا کر انہیں اسی طرح لڑایا گیا جس طرح کسی زمانے میں پنجاب کے دیہات میں مرغوں کی لڑائی کے مقابلے کرائے جاتے تھے۔ اس مضمون میں اس بارے میں صرف اُن دو پراگراموں پر تبصرہ کیا جائے گا جو ندیم ملک لائیو کے نام سے سماء نام کے چینل پر5 ؍اور6؍مئی 2020ء کو نشر ہوئے۔ان دو پروگراموں کے میزبان ندیم ملک صاحب تھے اورتحریک انصاف کے صداقت عباسی صاحب، وفاقی وزیرعلی محمد خان صاحب، پیپلز پارٹی کی پلوشہ صاحبہ، اورمسلم لیگ ن کے طلال چودھری صاحب ان پروگراموں میں شامل ہوئے۔تفصیلات بیان کرنے سے پہلے یہ وضاحت ضروری ہے کہ اس مضمون کا مقصد کسی سیاسی بحث میں الجھنا یا کسی سیاسی جماعت پر تنقید کرنا نہیں ہے۔ لیکن جماعت احمدیہ کے خلاف چلائی جانے والی مہم پاکستان کو شدید نقصان پہنچا رہی ہے۔ اس مضمون میں صرف ان امور کی نشاندہی کی جائے گی۔
حضرت مسیح موعود علیہ السلام کی بعثت کی اغراضmuzaffertahir9
امّتِ محمدیہ کے کئی بزرگوں ( جیسا کہ حضرت شاہ عبد العزیز ؒ،صوفی بزرگ شیخ عبد العزیز ،مشہور صوفی و ادیب خواجہ حسن نظامی ،حضرت شاہ محمد حسین صابری ) نے امام مہدی کے ظہور کے زمانہ کا تعین بھی کردیا تھا جو کہ چودھویں صدی کا ابتدائی حصہ بنتا ہے۔ یہی وجہ ہے کہ وہ تمام علامات اور نشانیاں جو امام مہدی کے دعویٰ سے قبل پوری ہونی تھیں، پوری ہو گئیں اور ہر طرف بڑی شدت سے ایک مسیح اور مہدی کا انتظار ہو رہا تھا۔ عوام سے لے کر علماء تک سبھی، خواہ ان کا تعلق کسی بھی مکتبِ فکر سے ہو، بلاتفریق امت محمدیہ کے مرثیہ خواں نظر آتے تھے۔ خاص طور پر احادیث مبارکہ میں جو نقشہ آنحضرت ﷺنے امتِ محمدیہ کا کھینچا وہ من وعن پورا ہو رہا تھا۔ مسلمان زوال کا شکار ہو رہے تھے ،ہزاروں مسلمان عیسائی ہو رہے تھے اور اسلام مختلف فرقوں میں بٹ چکا تھا۔مسجدیں دھرم شالہ بنا دی گئی تھیں۔ایسے حالات میں خدا تعا لیٰ نے دنیا کے سامنے ہندوستان کی ایک گمنام بستی قا دیا ن سے ایک جوا ں مرد کو کھڑا کیا جوہر یک رنگ میں سرکارِ دوعالم ﷺکی پیشگو ئیو ں کا مصدا ق تھا۔
یہ مبارک ہستی حضرت مرزا غلام احمد علیہ السلام ہیں۔
حضرت مسیح موعود علیہ الصلوٰۃ والسلام اپنی بعثت کی غرض یوں بیان کرتے ہوئے فرماتے ہیں ک
‘‘ مجھے بھیجا گیا ہے تاکہ میں آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی کھوئی ہو ئی عظمت کو پھر قائم کروں اور قرآن شریف کی سچائیوں کو دنیا کو دکھائوں اور یہ سب کام ہو رہا ہے لیکن جن کی آنکھوں پر پٹی ہے وہ اس کو دیکھ نہیں سکتے حالانکہ اب یہ سلسلہ سورج کی طرح روشن ہو گیا ہے اور اس کی آیات و نشانات کے اس قدر لوگ گواہ ہیں کہ اگر اُن کو ایک جگہ جمع کیا جائے تو اُن کی تعداد اِس قدر ہو کہ رُوئے زمین پر کسی بادشاہ کی بھی اتنی فوج نہیں ہے۔
اس قدر صورتیں اس سلسلہ کی سچائی کی موجود ہیں کہ ان سب کو بیان کرنا بھی آسان نہیں۔چونکہ اسلام کی سخت توہین کی گئی تھی اس لیے اللہ تعالیٰ نے اسی توہین کے لحاظ سے اس سلسلہ کی عظمت کو دکھایا ہے۔’’
شمائلِ مہدی علیہ الصلوٰۃ والسلام آپؑ کی دعاؤں کا بیانmuzaffertahir9
‘‘دنیا میں دعا جیسی کوئی چیز نہیں الدُّعَاءُ مُخُّ العِبَادَةِیہ عاجز اپنی زندگی کا مقصد اعلیٰ یہی سمجھتا ہے کہ اپنے لئے اور اپنے عزیزوں اور دوستوں کیلئے ایسی دعائیں کرنے کا وقت پاتا رہے کہ جو رب العرش تک پہنچ جائیں ۔اور دل تو ہمیشہ تڑپتا ہے کہ ایسا وقت ہمیشہ میسر آجایا کرے …
‘‘اے ربّ العالمین ! تیرے احسانوں کا میں شکر نہیں کرسکتا تو نہایت ہی رحیم وکریم ہے اور تیرے بےغایت مجھ پر احسان ہیں ۔میرے گناہ بخش تا میں ہلاک نہ ہو جاؤں ۔میرے دل میں اپنی خالص محبّت ڈال تا مجھے زندگی حاصل ہو اور میری پردہ پوشی فرما ۔اور مجھ سے ایسے عمل کرا جن سے تو راضی ہوجائے۔میں تیری وَجْہِ کَرِیْم کے ساتھ اس بات سے پناہ مانگتا ہوں کہ تیرا غضب مجھ پر وارد ہو۔رحم فرما ۔اور دنیا اور آخرت کی بلاؤں سے مجھے بچاکہ ہر ایک فضل و کرم تیرے ہی ہاتھ میں ہے۔آمین ۔ثمّ آمین’’
بلادِ عرب پر آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ کے احسانات کاتذکرہmuzaffertahir9
حضورﷺ عرب کی ایک بستی مکہ میں پیدا ہوئے جہاں کے اکثر لوگ سخت مزاج اوروحشی صفت تھے۔ وہ کسی کی اطاعت قبول نہیں کرتے تھے۔ وہاں کی زمین سنگلاخ تھی اورلوگوں کے دل پتھر تھے۔شراب خوری اور زناکاری اس سرزمین کا دستور تھا۔ گویا کہ ضلالت کا ٹھاٹھیں مارتا ہواسمندر
تھا۔مگر یہ حلقہ ظلمت کدہ پھر نورِمحمدﷺ سے مستفیض ہوااورجہاں جہاں بادسموم کا تصور تھا وہاں رقص بہاراں کےجشن میں راحت آمیز ہوائیں اٹھکیلیاں کرنے لگیں۔
ہر دائرۂ حیات میں امن صرف خلافتِ احمدیہ کی بدولت ممکن ہےmuzaffertahir9
خلافت ایک ایسی حقیقت ہے جو اقوامِ عالم کو مساوات اور جمہوریت کی فلسفیانہ بحثوں سے نکال کر انتخاب کے میدان میں لا کھڑا کرتی ہے ۔ پھر تائید الٰہی اور نصرتِ خداوندی منتخب فرد کو اپنے حصار میں لے کر خلیفۃ اللہ اور ہر صاحب ایمان کا محبوب،آقا و مطاع بنا دیتی ہے ۔
تم میں سے جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور نیک اعمال بجا لائے اُن سے اللہ نے پختہ وعدہ کیا ہے کہ انہیں ضرور زمین میں خلیفہ بنائے گا جیسا کہ اُس نے اُن سے پہلے لوگوں کو خلیفہ بنایا اور اُن کے لیے اُن کے دین کو، جو اُس نے اُن کے لیے پسند کیا، ضرور تمکنت عطا کرے گا اور اُن کی خوف کی حالت کے بعد ضرور اُنہیں امن کی حالت میں بدل دے گا۔ وہ میری عبادت کریں گے۔ میرے ساتھ کسی کو شریک نہیں ٹھہرائیں گے اور جو اس کے بعدبھی ناشکری کرے تو یہی وہ لوگ ہیں جو نافرمان ہیں۔
توہین رسالت کی سزا (قرآن و سنت کی روشنی میں) muzaffertahir9
اللہ تعالیٰ نے جس طرح اپنی توہین کی سزاکا اختیار کئی مصالح کے باعث اس دنیا میں کسی انسان کو نہیں دیا اسی طرح اپنے رسول کی توہین کی سزا کا معاملہ بھی اپنے ہاتھ میں رکھا ہے
تعزیرات پاکستان کے مطابق نبی کریم ؐکی شان میں گستاخی اور توہین رسالت کی سزا عمر قید یا موت ہوسکتی تھی۔ 1992ء میں شرعی عدالت کے اس فیصلہ کی بنا پر کہ توہینِ رسالت کی سزا صرف موت ہی ہوسکتی ہے عمر قید کے الفاظ دفعہ 295Cسے حذف کر دیے گئے اور موجودہ ملکی قانون کے مطابق توہین رسالت کی سزا صرف موت ہے۔
دیگر قوانین کی طرح اس قانون کا مقصد بھی مفاد عامہ اور قیام امن ہی بتایا گیا تھا مگرگذشتہ سالوں کے تلخ تجربات کے بعد ہمیں افسوس سے کہنا پڑتا ہے کہ نہ صرف یہ کہ اس قانون سے مطلوبہ مقاصد حاصل نہیں ہوئے بلکہ الٹا اس قانون کو فتنہ ، فساد اورظلم کا ذریعہ بنایا گیاہے۔ بالخصوص کمزور اور اقلیتی گروہ اس کی زد میں آئے اور ذاتی عناد کی بنا پر توہین رسالت کے نام پر جھوٹے مقدمات درج کروانے کا ایسا سلسلہ شروع ہوا کہ حکومت بھی یہ سوچنے پر مجبور ہوگئی کہ یہ رجحان روکنے کے لیے ایک اَور قانون متعارف کروانے کی ضرورت ہے جس کے مطابق ہر غلط مقدمہ درج کروانے والے پر بھی گرفت کی جاسکے ۔ یہ تو اندرونی ملکی صورتِ حال ہے۔
ہمارے آقا و مولا سید الرسل جناب حضرت اقدس محمد مصطفیٰﷺ کو خدا تعالیٰ نے رحمۃ للعالمین بنا کر مبعوث فرمایا۔ آپ ﷺ کی رحمت کا دائرہ محض انسانیت تک ہی محدود نہ تھا بلکہ جیسا کہ عربی زبان کے لفظ عَالَمسے ظاہر ہے یہ رحمت وسیع تھی اور ہر قسم کا جاندار، چرند پرند اس دائرہ ٔرحمت میں شامل تھا۔
لیکن افسوس کے وہ نبی جو رحمت بنا کر بھیجا گیااس کی ذاتِ اطہر پر جو اعتراضات کیے جاتے ہیں ان میں سے بار بار دہرایا جانے والا ایک اعتراض یہ ہے کہ آپ ﷺ نے نعوذ باللہ دنیا میں بد امنی، فساد اورقتل و غارت پھیلائی اور مخالفین پر تلوار اٹھائی جس سے خون کی ندیاں بہ نکلیں۔
لیکن اگر ہم قرآن کریم ، احادیث اور تاریخ کا صحیح رنگ میں مطالعہ کریں نیز اُس علم الکلام سے مستفیض ہوں جو اس زمانہ میں آنحضرت ﷺ کے غلام صادق حضرت اقدس مسیح موعود علیہ السلام نے ہمیں عطا فرمایا تو ہمیں اس کے بر عکس ایک ایسے نبیؐ کی تصویر دیکھنے کو ملتی ہے جو نہ صرف اپنوں بلکہ پہلے اور آئندہ آنے والوں کے لیے بھی سراپا سلامتی و رحمت تھا۔ یہی وجہ ہے کہ عرش کا خدا اور اس کے فرشتے اس پاک نبی پر درود بھیجتے ہیں۔ اورتا قیامت مومنین کو یہ تاکید کی گئی کہ وہ بھی اس رسول مقبولﷺ پر درود بھیجتے رہیں۔
Religious Torrance of Hazrat Muhammad PBU- رسول اللہ ﷺ کی مذہبی رواداریmuzaffertahir9
مذہبی رواداری یہ ہے کہ اختلاف مذہب و رائے کے باوجوددوسروںکےلیےبرداشت کا نمونہ دکھانا، ان کے مذہبی عقائدو اقدار کالحاظ رکھنا، تحقیر کارویہ اختیار نہ کرنا اور نہ ہی ان کے جذبات کو ٹھیس پہنچانا۔اسی طرح دوسرے مذاہب کے لوگوں کے ساتھ اعلیٰ انسانی برتاؤکامفہوم بھی مذہبی رواداری میں شامل ہے۔
دیگر مذاہب میں مذہبی رواداری کا تصور اسلام کےبالمقابل تقریباً ناپید ہے۔ چنانچہ بائبل میں استثناء باب7آیات1تا6میں اس بات کا ذکر ملتاہے کہ جب یہود کسی قوم پر فتح حاصل کریں تو مفتوح قوم کوبالکل نابودکردیں، اُن کے ساتھ کوئی عہد نہ کریں اورنہ ہی اُن پررحم کریں۔اسی طرح اُن سے رشتہ کرنے کی ممانعت ہے اور ان کی عبادت گاہوں کو ڈھا دینے کاحکم ہے۔
اس کے با لمقابل اسلام رواداری ،امن اور احترام انسانیت کامذہب ہے۔ اسلامی شریعت کے مطابق اسلامی معاشرے کا ہر فرد بلاتفریق رنگ و نسل، مذہب و ملّت انسانی مساوات اور بنیادی انسانی حقوق میں یکساں حیثیت کا حامل ہے۔
اسلامی ریاست کے تمام باشندے خواہ وہ کسی بھی مذہب کے پیروکار ہوں ،بلاتفریق عقیدہ اپنے مذہبی معاملات میں مکمل طورپر آزاد ہیں اوران کےمذہبی معاملات کے بارہ میں ان پر کسی قسم کا کوئی جبر نہیں۔
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

the Dalai Lama, Prime Minister David Cameron
and several other dignitaries.
During the event the various faith leaders considered
what role religion could play in today’s world and
whether religion continued to be a force for good.
The keynote address delivered by Hazrat Mirza
Masroor Ahmad sought to answer these questions in
light of Islam’s true teachings.
6. The Khalifa highlighted that
all the major religions of the
world taught the worship of
God and love and compassion
for mankind in their original
form. His Holiness said that if
these original teachings were
upheld today it would lead to
a harmonious society, free
from conflict and war. He also
condemned governments
across the world for
prioritising defence and
military spending above and
beyond social welfare and
humanitarian projects.
7. Speaking about how the Founder of Islam, the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)
responded to the most horrific and sustained
persecution, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“When the Holy Prophet (peace
and blessings be upon him) gained
victory over the sworn enemies of
Islam, who in the past had left no
stone unturned in their efforts to
destroy the religion, he responded
with peace and forgiveness.”
8. Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said there was
no contradiction between Islam’s peaceful
teachings and the fact that some wars were
fought during the early years of Islam. He said
that those wars fought had been defensive
wars, fought not only to protect Islam, but also
to protect the people of all religions.
9. Citing the example of the Battle of Badr, where 300 ill-equipped Muslims
defeated a much stronger army comprising 1,000 soldiers, Hazrat
Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“Where on the one hand this was a victory
for Islam, it was also a timeless triumph
for every person who desires for peace to be
established in the world. It was a victory
for every person who desires for human
values to always be preserved and it was a
victory for all people who believe religion
to be a force for good and for establishing
peace in the world.”
10. His Holiness clarified that any wars fought during the era of the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) or his four Rightly
Guided Successors were entirely defensive in nature and fought only
to “end cruelty” and “establish peace”. However, later wars fought
during the eras of certain Muslim monarchs were fought to expand
kingdoms and gain power.
Commenting on this, Hazrat Mirza Masroor
Ahmad said:
“Those wars fought to expand
kingdoms and to increase power were
not in any way fought in accordance
with the teachings of Islam as taught
by the Holy Quran.”
11. Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said that
Ahmadi Muslims believed the Founder of the
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, to be
thePromised Messiah and Mahdi and that he
had come to end all religious wars, to bring mankind
towards its Creator and to draw the attention of the
world towards fulfilling the rights of one another.
Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad appealed for
the people of all religions to work together towards
creating a just society based on mutual respect and
tolerance
12. Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“I hope and pray that we, who are
the representatives of different
faiths and religions, and who have
gathered here today to practically
demonstrate these loving teachings,
all strive towards worshipping the
One God, by treating His Creation
with justice and by fulfilling their
due rights.
13. Certainly these are the original
teachings of all religions. We
should utilise all of our resources
and capabilities to foster a better
society, to help God’s Creation
and to spread love, affection and
peace at every level. The urgent and
critical need of the world today is
to establish peace and faith in
God.”
14. His Holiness called on the leaders of all nations to
prioritise social welfare above and beyond
unnecessary militarisation.
15. Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“The urgent and critical need of the world
today is to establish peace and faith in
God. If the world understood this reality
then all countries, whether large or small,
would not, in the name of defence
spending, allocate millions and billions of
dollars to expand their military
capabilities. Rather, they would spend
that wealth to feed the hungry, to provide
universal education and to improve the
living standards of the developing world.”
16. The Khalifa concluded by reiterating the fact
that God is a “Living God”who
continues to listen to the prayers of mankind
17. Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“In order to protect ourselves and to
save mankind we need to turn towards
God Almighty and we need to attach
ourselves to that Living God who did
not forsake the Prophet Moses and his
people and nor did He forsake the
Prophet Jesus and his disciples. Nor
have true Muslims been deprived from
attaining the blessings of God and
seeing their prayers accepted.”
18. Earlier in the evening, a range of faith
leaders and dignitaries took to the stage
to highlight their respective beliefs. All
of the speakers also took the
opportunity to express their gratitude to
the Ahmadiyya Muslim
Community for organising such an
event that promoted inter-faith
dialogue.
19. Rabbi Jackie Tabick, Joint President of the
World Congress of Faiths said:

faiths whilst understanding
and valuing the oneness
amongst us.”
