| This material has
been compiled to show that the fundamental beliefs of the Qadianis, which form the basis
of their existence as a movement, are entirely contrary to the noble teachings given in
his books by the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza
Ghulam Ahmad (d. 1908). The term 'Qadiani' is used here to refer to the movement which was
led by Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad (d. 1965) from 1914, being based originally at
Qadian, India, and later moving to Rabwah, Pakistan. Its present leader is Mirza Tahir
Ahmad, based in England since 1984. Differences on
four main issues have been dealt with here:
I. The Qadiani belief that no person can be a Muslim
without accepting Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a prophet of God, versus the
Founder's own belief that everyone who acknowledges the well-known Islamic Kalima is
a Muslim.
2. The Qadianis' practical treatment of other Muslims as
not being fellow-Muslims by refusing to say their funeral prayers, versus the
Promised Messiah's teaching of being fraternal with all other Muslims except hostile
opponents.
3. The Qadiani belief that prophets can come after the Holy
Prophet Muhammad and that the Promised Messiah was a prophet, versus the Promised
Messiah's affirmations that he regarded the Holy Prophet Muhammad as the Last Prophet.
4. The Qadiani system of rule by an autocratic khalifa possessing
absolute power, versus the system set up by the Promised Messiah of the supremacy
of the collective decisions of the Anjuman (the Central Executive Body).

We give extracts from books written by Mirza Mahmud Ahmad
and contrast the wild, extreme and un-Islamic views expressed therein by the Qadiani
leader with the beliefs of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in his writings which are, of course,
wise, sober and wholly in accord with Islam. It will be evident that the doctrines put
forward by the Qadianis are totally at variance with the basic teachings of Islam as well
as being diametrically opposed to pronouncements of the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement.
In fact, as we will show at the appropriate places, most of
these Qadiani views were actually held by the opponents of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam
Ahmad, and used to be put forward against him during his life. He, in reply, had refuted
these notions, and described them as the false beliefs of his opponents - the beliefs
which the Qadianis later came to adopt.
All quotations given in this booklet have been taken
directly from their original sources and carefully checked for accurate reproduction. The
references have been given fully and precisely. Arrangements are being made to scan-in the
relevant pages from the original source on which the extract occurs.
It may be of interest to note that in recent years the
Qadianis have been seeking to suppress many of the books of Mirza Mahmud Ahmad which we
have quoted in this booklet. This makes it all the more essential to publish key extracts
from them as widely as possible, so that there remains no doubt whatsoever about the
extreme Qadiani creed and the bold language used by Mirza Mahmud Ahmad in which to express
it.
