September is both the month of Pakistan’s defense and the protection of the belief in the Finality of Prophethood. On 7th September 1974, Pakistan’s Parliament declared Qadianis non-Muslim on the basis of their denial of the Finality of Prophethood. According to the Qur'an and Hadith, the deniers of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat (Finality of Prophethood) were already considered non-Muslim and outside the fold of Islam, but from September 1974 onward, Qadianis and Lahori Mirzais were also legally and constitutionally declared outside the fold of Islam.
Due to their false and fabricated religion, the Qadianis had to face defeat in Pakistan’s Parliament. From 5th August to 24th August 1974, the position of the head of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat and the false claimant of prophethood, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani’s grandson, Mirza Nasir Ahmad, was heard in the National Assembly. At that time, Pakistan’s Attorney General Yahya Bakhtiar asked Mirza Nasir Ahmad questions, and the answers exposed all the false beliefs of the Qadiani religion before the National Assembly.
Similarly, the Lahori group of the Mirzais was given full opportunity to present the details of their religion in the National Assembly. All those arguments and evidence were presented by representatives of the Qadiani Jamaat themselves in response to the Attorney General’s questions. In light of these, the Parliament declared Qadianis outside the fold of Islam.
After reviewing the references from Qadiani books and the anti-Islamic beliefs of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani, all Muslim members of the National Assembly easily reached the conclusion that Qadianis are non-Muslims.
The issue under discussion in the National Assembly was whether Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani claimed to be a prophet or not. Once it was established that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani had indeed claimed prophethood and was a verbal, written, and practical denier of the Finality of Prophethood, then it became a logical conclusion, in the light of the Qur’an and Hadith of the Holy Prophet ï·º, that the deniers of the Finality of Prophethood are outside the fold of Islam.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani not only falsely claimed prophethood, but he also insisted that all the Muslims who did not accept his claim were disbelievers (kuffar). He went as far as to say:
"Whoever denies me denies Allah and His Messenger ï·º. Whoever declares me a liar actually declares Allah to be a liar.”
(Reference: Nahj-ul-Musalli, p. 280)
According to the writings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani and his sons, those Muslims who do not accept Mirza Qadiani as a prophet are like Jews and Christians.
In the teachings of Islam, for the past fourteen and a half centuries, every Muslim has believed in the Finality of Prophethood. In fact, every Muslim believes that the belief in the Finality of Prophethood is the foundation of Islam and that if any Muslim accepts a new claimant to prophethood after the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad ï·º, then at that very moment, he becomes an apostate and is excluded from Islam.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani, upon claiming prophethood, was declared a rebel against the Prophet ï·º, a liar, and a disbeliever (kafir).
Interestingly, before claiming prophethood, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani himself used to declare deniers of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat and claimants of post-Muhammad prophethood to be disbelievers and liars. However, after making the claim himself, he too became faithless and a denier of Islam.
A strange matter with Mirza Qadiani was that he was a claimant to prophethood who also denied his own claim at times. For example, he wrote:
“God has clearly given me the title of a prophet.”
“In my revelations, I have been called a prophet repeatedly, and hearing this gives me pleasure.”
And then, he also wrote:
“I am not a claimant of prophethood; rather, I consider such a claimant to be outside the fold of Islam.”
He also wrote that:
“Whoever tries to continue the chain of prophethood after the Prophet Muhammad ï·º is the offspring of disbelievers, an enemy of the Qur'an, and shameless.”
And astonishingly, this statement too is present in Mirza Qadiani's own book that:
“God called me by the names of Prophet and Messenger.”
Thus, without needing any external opponent to say anything, Mirza Qadiani’s own writings bring his claim of prophethood under condemnation, and he himself becomes the offspring of disbelievers and an enemy of the Qur’an.
Mirza Qadiani also called those people liars and slanderers who accused him of claiming prophethood. Yet he himself claimed prophethood after the Prophet Muhammad ï·º. He called such people liars, disbelievers, and even Dajjal (Antichrist).
In the Qur’an and Hadith, it is already clearly taught that the chain of prophethood and messengership ended with Prophet Muhammad ï·º. Therefore, anyone who claims prophethood after him is outside Islam and is not a Muslim.
Now here is an important and astonishing point: Mirza Qadiani is, due to his false claim of prophethood, a disbeliever, a liar, and outside the fold of Islam. But the Qadiani Jamaat declares every Muslim to be a disbeliever who rejects the prophethood of Mirza Qadiani.
When the Attorney General asked the Qadiani Jamaat’s head in the National Assembly whether it was true that Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood, son of Mirza Qadiani, had said:
“All Muslims who have not joined the Promised Messiah’s allegiance — even if they never heard his name — are disbelievers and outside Islam,”
Mirza Nasir Ahmad could not deny it.
Yahya Bakhtiar also asked him whether it was written in Mirza Bashir Ahmad’s book Kalimat-ul-Fasl that:
“Whoever accepts Muhammad ï·º but not the Promised Messiah is not only a disbeliever but a confirmed disbeliever and outside Islam.”
Mirza Nasir confirmed before the National Assembly that this was indeed written.
In the National Assembly, the following quote from Bashiruddin Mahmood was also presented:
“It is our duty not to consider non-Ahmadis as Muslims and not to pray behind them.”
Mirza Nasir Ahmad did not deny his father's writing either.
Mirza Nasir Ahmad also admitted in the National Assembly that just as members of their community do not perform funeral prayers for Jews and Christians, they also do not perform them for Muslims and their children, because those Muslims do not accept Mirza Qadiani as the Promised Messiah.
His responses in the National Assembly proved that, in the eyes of the Qadiani Jamaat, Muslims who do not accept Mirza Qadiani as the Promised Messiah are like Jews and Christians—outside of Islam.
Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood had said:
“Salvation is not possible without believing in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani as the Promised Messiah. Therefore, non-Ahmadis should not try to prove themselves Muslims without reason.”
Pakistan’s first foreign minister, Zafarullah Khan, was a Qadiani. He was in Quaid-e-Azam’s and Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan’s cabinet. But it was revealed in the National Assembly that Zafarullah did not participate in the funeral prayers of Quaid-e-Azam and Liaquat Ali Khan because he considered every Muslim who rejected Mirza Qadiani’s prophethood to be a disbeliever.
Renowned journalist Munir Ahmad Munir, from Sialkot, interviewed Zafarullah Khan in 1981. In response to a question, Zafarullah Khan said:
“Yes, I did not attend Quaid-e-Azam’s funeral because, according to our beliefs, we do not offer the funeral prayer of any non-Ahmadi. Our order instructs us not to offer funeral prayers for non-Ahmadis. Had I done so for show, it would have been hypocrisy.”
The reason Qadianis do not offer funeral prayers for non-Ahmadis lies in the teachings of Mirza Qadiani himself.
A quote from one of Mirza Qadiani’s sons was also presented in the National Assembly, stating:
“The Promised Messiah treated non-Ahmadis in the same way that the Prophet ï·º treated Christians. Our prayers were separated from non-Ahmadis. Giving daughters to them was declared forbidden.”
When the Qadiani Jamaat itself, on the order of the false prophet Mirza Qadiani, cut off all worldly and religious relations with Muslims, then why do they hesitate to accept that they are non-Muslims?
Mirza Nasir Ahmad also admitted in the National Assembly that if someone accepts Mirza Qadiani as a prophet and later denies him, then he is considered an apostate and destined for Hell. So why do the Qadianis object when the entire Muslim world, in the light of the Qur’an and Hadith, declares the followers of a false prophet, Mirza Qadiani, to be non-Muslim?
The Qadianis' claim is ridiculous—that all Muslims and the entire Islamic world are outside Islam for rejecting Mirza Qadiani as the Promised Messiah, but the Qadianis themselves are Muslims even though they follow a false claimant of prophethood.
When Yahya Bakhtiar asked Mirza Nasir Ahmad, “Are all Muslims outside the fold of Islam, but Ahmadis are not?” — Mirza Nasir replied, “Ahmadis are not outside the fold of Islam.”
After that, what reason was left for members of the National Assembly not to constitutionally declare the Qadianis as non-Muslims?
Both the Qadiani Jamaat and its Lahori faction regard Mirza Qadiani as a prophet in the guise of the Promised Messiah and thereby deny the Finality of Prophethood.
Qadianis do not consider belief in the Prophet Muhammad ï·º sufficient to be a Muslim. They do not accept anyone as Muslim who does not also accept Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani as the Promised Messiah. This is an outright rejection of the finality of prophethood.
That is why, on 7th September 1974, after reviewing all aspects of the Qadiani religion, Qadianis were declared non-Muslims.
In this regard, 7th September is a day of thanksgiving before Allah Almighty for the entire Muslim Ummah. Especially for Pakistan, it is a historic and brightest day when the protection of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat was officially and constitutionally upheld.
Getting Qadianis declared non-Muslims in Parliament was a joint achievement of all political parties. The majority in the National Assembly was of the People's Party, whose chairman and prime minister was Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, so he especially deserves appreciation, because without his consensus, it would not have been possible for the National Assembly to declare Qadianis non-Muslim.
