Peace be on you.
Two Divine Laws are following, as one understands,
1-God makes His Messengers dominant otherwise His Power and Honor will become doubtful for people.
2-If a person tells lie about God's revelation to him, he is destroyed by God.
Founder of Ahmadiyya Community (peaceful and persecuted community, is millions in 200 plus countries) said he was supported by God with respect of both above laws.

Before knowing what supports by God were sent for him, it is essential to know answers to questions,
Q1-what means could help his success?
Q2-What were barriers in his path?
Q3-What kind of claim he made. Was his claim so much attractive to get success?

Now we find answer to each of above questions.
Q1-What ways and means could help his success?
a-Founder of Ahmadiyya community belonged to an honorable family in subcontinent India which came from central asia few centuries ago. God always sends appointed ones in noble families so that people do not feel dislike. His family used to be ruler of the area. But then Sikhs and then British took over subcontinent. Family’s splendor reduced. So it cannot be said that people accepted him to get worldly wealth.

b-Though his father educated him by tutor, but this learning was much less than what was taught in regular religious institutions. So he was not considered as known scholar. It cannot be said that people accepted him because he was a well known scholar.

c-He was not from any family of Pirs and Sufis, and he also had not done Pledge of allegiance (Bai'at) with any Pir or Sufi to have connection of successor-ship. So it cannot be said that he was successful by help from followers or Pirs.

d-He was not at any high governmental position. Thus, it cannot be said people joined him to gain benefits of his authority.

e-He was a solitary person. People who lived near him did not know him. His connection was with only few people. Most were orphans and poor. He would give them all or part of his meals and would keep Fast. Some of his friends were those who had interest in religious research. Other than it, he had no connection with anyone and people too had no need to meet him.

Q2-What were barriers in his path.
a-All possible barriers were present in his path. He claimed he was appointed by God. Clergies naturally opposed him because their centuries-long influence was losing due to him. They knew if a person teaches by command of God, no one would care their conjectures.

b-Pirs opposed him because their followers, income and freedom decreased due to spread of his message.

c- Rich people were against him, because he taught them to follow commandments of real Islam and to be kind to people. They did not like limitations. They felt people will become free by his teaching and their rule will end.

d-People of other religions too opposed him, because they felt his success means their loss.

e-Government officials too opposed initially him because they thought discord is associated with titles Messiah and Mahdi. They thought when he will get power he will leave current peaceful thoughts.

f-Common people opposed him too because of their leaders and their lack of knowledge.

Q3-Was his claim so much attractive to get success?
His teaching of spiritual reform was not according to popular worldly flow of thoughts of time. It cannot be said that he was successful because he presented popular ideas. Thoughts of people are of two kinds. First, those thoughts which are in accordance with thoughts of majority of people. Second, thoughts which are against thoughts of majority but these thoughts are result of modern knowledge of that era. The first kind of thoughts is easy to spread. Second kind of thoughts spreads slowly. Thoughts of Founder of Ahmadiyya Community were opposite to both kind of thoughts.

People of old thoughts would call him atheist . People of modern thoughts would declare him narrow minded. In short, neither his conditions were favorable, nor his path went through flower-beds, and nor his thoughts represented thoughts of people. Thus his gain of success was due to help of God.

Part 3 What supports and helps by God were sent for him?
a- God does not give long time to one who lies about Him knowingly. After publishing revelations that he is Promised Spiritual Reformer he lived for more than forty years and continued to get divine help.

b-When he published his revelations, no one in world knew him. After that, despite he was opposed, he received honor and status that even the opponents acknowledge it.

c-When he claimed, he was alone. By the time, he died, his followers had grown from thousands to hundreds of thousands. They were from all class of people. Community continues to grow to millions in more than 200 countries in current time of his Fifth Khalifah a.t. They face persecution and martyrdoms.

d-People tried to kill him, or poison him, made false cases against him. God saved him and gave him progress.

e-Numerous people are told about his truth by dreams, revelations or visions, and despite they used to be opponents, his love is filled in their hearts.

It is to be noted that above material does not mean he was truthful because initially he was weak and later he gained honor and respect. Many worldly people gained such honors e.g. Nadir Khan, Napoleon, but it does not prove they were beloved of God.

The issue here is=
a-Founder of Ahmadiyya Community claimed he is God the Exalted. If he was wrong in this claim and he was deceiving people on purpose, he must have been destroyed by God as exclusively is said in Scripture.
b-There were no worldly means for his progress.
c-Each group of people stood to oppose him, there was no Community of his own at the time of his claim, by which he could have gotten success.
d-He succeeded to convince world to understand and believe things, which were against the thoughts of old and new people.
e-Despite all these things, he became successful, he made a Community, he convinced people to accept his thoughts. He survived opponents’ attacks. God’s supports descended for him.

These five things do not gather in a false person.

(Based on long writing of Second Ahmadiyya Khalifah (r.a.))

Peace be on you.
Among essential initial states of human, there is a desire to find High Being, and for it, an internal attraction is present in heart of human. The effect of this search is felt from the time of birth of baby. The first spiritual property the baby shows initially to is lean toward mother and has affection for her. As his senses blossoms, and bud of his nature keeps opening, this, his hidden attractive love continues to manifest its features. Then a time comes when the baby does not find comfort except in the lap of his mother. If he is separated and placed far from mother, all his luxury turns bitter, even if a stack of bounties is placed before him.

What is that love of attraction, which is developed in him for mother?

Actually, it is the very attraction for Actual Deity, which is placed in the nature of child. Rather, the same attraction is working, wherever human makes connection of love in life. It is as if he continues to pick one thing after the other to find a Lost Thing, he has forgotten Whose name.
Since human can neither see ‘That Very Subtle and Hidden Being’ with eyes, nor he can find Him with his deficient wisdom that is why he has much misunderstandings about Him and, by mistake, His right is given to others.

Allah has given a great example in Quran that world is like a castle of glass whose floor is made with extremely transparent glass, water is flowing underneath. Human sight considers this floor of glass as water too. Then human fears to walk on glass as he fears walking on water. Likewise, all huge heavenly bodies, which are worshiped by mistake, are like same clear glass. Under these, a High Power is working. People who worship creatures are attributing that work to glass, by error.

Being of Allah is very hidden despite being very bright, thus this visible physical system is not enough. That is why those people who observed the amazing perfect and solid system of universe, and who became experts in astronomy, physics and philosophy, they could not get rid of darkness of doubts, and went somewhere far. If they could ever reach at any conclusion after seeing such marvelous system, it was that there should be Someone Who made all this.

But to say, there is need of God is not same to say, God actually exists. Thus, those people had only imaginary knowledge, which does not give satisfaction to heart and cannot remove doubts. It cannot quench thirst which is placed in human nature, rather such incomplete understanding is very dangerous because result remain zero after so much uproar.

So until God Himself show His Presence with His Words, as He showed with His Work, till then observation of His Work is not enough.
For example, if we see a room, which is locked from inside, we shall conclude any human is present inside. But if, after years of calling, no answer comes from that human, our opinion will be changed and we shall think internal lock is applied by some technique.

The same is true for the philosophers who have put end to their knowledge at observing the act. It is huge error to consider God as dead, and to think to bring Him out, is work of human. If God is like it, that only human effort finds Him, then our hopes about such God are useless.
God is He, Who has been calling people toward Him since ever and ancient by ‘I am present’. It will be big disrespect to say human has done favor to Him to find Him, and if there were no philosophers, He would have remained lost. It is big arrogance to say how can God speak; does He have tongue? Answer is, Has He not made all heavenly bodies and earth without physical hands. Does He not see world without physical eyes? Does He not hear our voices without physical ears...So Was it not essential He should Speak likewise! It is not true also that God used to speak in past and not onward. He is ready to enrich the seeker with fountain of revelation, as He used to do in past. His doors of blessings are still open as they were in past.

Peace be on you.

Note: Since Ahmadiyya posts are not welcome in Islam forum, once I was asked not to post there, therefore this humble has no choice except to post them here in general religion section. Thanks. Ahmadiyya are well known peaceful people in Africa and world.

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed in 1889 in India that he is promised reformer of this era, and he came in Islam which had declined at that time. He taught that now on there is no more Jihad of sword as it was one of the part of prophecies. He explained from Sayings of Prophet of Islam that Prophet of Islam was last-prophet-of-religious-law, and promised reformer is subordinate-prophet with no new message, just reminding to stay peaceful. One of allegation against him was that he did not believe in Four initial Caliphs of Islam and also family of Prophet PBUH.

Here, words of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Founder of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community are given, which were presented by his Fifth Khalifah.

The Founder said:

And I know it that anyone cannot become true believer [Momin] and Muslim till color like Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them all) is developed. They did not love earthly life; instead, they had devoted their lives in the path of Allah the Exalted.

It is very great favour by Abu Bakr Siddiq that he established Islam again.

Sometimes Holy Quran descended in parallel to Umar's opinion. A Hadith for him is that Satan runs away from shadow of Umar.

My Lord has manifested to me, that Siddiq, Farooq and Uthman ra were virtue-doers and Momin, and were among those people whom Allah choose and who are especially granted the grant of Allah the Rahman. Majority of knowledgeable people testified for their virtues. They left homelands for the pleasure of Allah the Exalted and High. Ali ra was practitioner of righteousness Taqwa, he was among those people who are very beloved in Presence of Allah al Rahman. He was leader of era, lion of Allah the Exalted al-Ghalib, a brave man, open-handed, pure hearted. He was perfect in every excellence and in eloquence.

In a vision, The Founder saw Hazrat Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husian. They were kind to him.

Fifth Ahmadi Khalifah prayed for peace in world, and for end of persecution against his Community and success.

May peace be to everyone.

The Fifth head of Ahmadiyya Community said on Friday 10, 2020 in UK said that the current situation due to corona-virus has affected everyone in world. There are some people whose dear ones are sick due to other illness and they are worried that virus may not affect already weak people due to previous illness. Some have been sick due to virus. Those who are help-providers, they should keep in view all precautions like wearing masks or other. People of his community should avoid going to other people’s home without reason. Many Ahmadi youth volunteer are helping local consuls. They should do service with full precaution and prayers. Avoid carelessness and do not put yourself in danger knowingly, it would not be bravery, it is ignorance. Avoid and be very careful. Path of prayers is open for us. In general, we should pray for self, for dears, for relatives, for community and for humanity in general. There are many people in world, who does not have means of precautions, they have no facilities for cure and food. We should try to send these facilities to community and non-Ahmadis too. In these days, focus on doing a lot of prayers, and prayers and prayers. He asked Ahmadi businessmen that they should sell necessary items at minimum profit. These are days of service to humanity to get nearness to God.

Thank you.

Peace and mercy of Allah be on you.... Hazrat Khalifah tul Messiah V (may Allah be his Helper) said that, To adopt excellent morals and to practice them at every occasion, in homes, in society and at each level with own and other people, Islam has given comprehensive teaching with minutest which is unique in all religions. But unfortunately, the very Muslims usually, are considered at lowest level in this practice. Non-Muslims point finger at them that they do not practice their teaching.

Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), on various occasions and by his practice, repeatedly stressed on his Ummah to obtain high levels of morals.....Muslims usually claim love of Messenger (s.a.w.) but their practice at his (s.a.w.) words and Sunnah is equal to none.

Keeping this state of Muslims in view, as it was to happen, Allah the Exalted sent Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). But, they deny to pay attention to this, rather some people have reached to extreme in opposition in some countries and use severely foul language of a moral less person, against Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) and his believers, and due to it they are facing the result too as everywhere in the world non-Muslims disgrace them, as is mentioned earlier.

This state of them should draw attention of us, Ahmadis, that we should make effort with all our capacities to adopt high morals which is teaching of Islam and whose model was established by Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) before us or he (s.a.w.) guided about these morals in any way. Otherwise, there is no benefit for us to be, and to be called Ahmadi.

We see remarkably high levels of morals in practices of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).

In domestic conditions' examples, Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) shows great dislike to one wife who mocked about smaller height of other wife, that no one should be given emotional pain. Somewhere he teaches one wife there should be no slightest dislike about any act of other wife.

At an occasion, he (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) guides to raise morals of children that they should not waste semi-ripened fruits of people by throwing stones at trees. He (s.a.w.) told a child if he was very hungry he should eat fallen palm-dates from ground. But he (s.a.w.) also advised that the best thing is, I pray for you that may such condition never come to you that you have to eat fallen dates, you may never be so desperate, may Allah the Exalted keep making means for you.

With this prayer, Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) drew attention of child that he should turn to only Allah the Exalted for fulfillment of desires, not getting the possessions of people in wrong way....... Though such fallen things are allowed in desperate situations, but he (s.a.w.) asked to use high morals and it is virtue.

A child was eating quickly and moving his hand all over the plate. Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) asked him to first recite ‘bismillah’ (with the name of Allah), eat with right hand and eat from in front of him.

So, children should be trained in this way so that they get high morals when they grow.

Moreover, lying is a sin. And truthfulness is a virtue and a moral. To establish it in the hearts of children since childhood, Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) directed. In this regard, a companion mentioned his childhood incident that once Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) came to his house. Due to childhood, after a while, he was about to go out for play even though he (s.a.w.) was present. To stop the child from going away from this blessed environment, his mother asked him to come here, stay here, she would give him something. At this Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said her, ‘do you want to give him something’. His mother said yes she would give him a palm-date. Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said, ‘if you did not have this intention and you were simply saying so to call child, you would have been doing sin of lying.’

To that child, in small age, importance of truth and hate for lying became clear and he remembered it till maturity and he mentioned about importance of truth in his heart.

Once Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said to a person that if you cannot leave all vices, leave to speak lie, at least leave one vice.

Do current Muslims have these standards to avoid lie in such fine detail and establish truthfulness. We should review ourselves too, do we have these standards.

It is mentioned in a narration (Hadith) that big sin is to make associate with Allah, to disobey parents.... The narrator says Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was telling these thing resting with support, he (s.a.w.) sat upright and said (in addition), ‘listen with attention, lie and false testimony’....again he (s.a.w.) said, ‘lie and false testimony’....and he (s.a.w.) said it repeatedly....The narrator said he (s.a.w.) continued to say it and we desired may he discontinue now.

We also see level of morals of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) for forbearance and patience, and how he guided...A Bedouin began to urinate in mosque, people ran toward him to stop him. He (s.a.w.) told them to leave him and flow water at the place, you are made to make ease for people, not for hardship..... That Bedouin would always mention kindness of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).

It seems, these days muslim governments, scholars and groups are ahead of everyone in world to create hardship, they neither develop eases in small matters nor in big matters.

On an occasion, Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said: If you want to know whether you are doing good or bad, see to your neighbor, what opinion do they have for you.

He (s.a.w.) told officers: You high morals will be proved when you will consider yourself servant of nation and serve people with all your capacities.

Are these morals seen in rulers and officers? Our Jama'at’s office-holders too should pay attention to it.
When Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) received all powers and triumphs were obtained over Arabs, we see levels of his morals which he showed on occasion of victory of Makkah that he forgave foes, the foes who were foes of life, who persecuted continuously. This forgiveness became means of acceptance of Islam for many.

About the highest level of morals of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) says:

“Allah, Exalted is His Greatness, addressing our prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), says that ‘innaka la-ala kholoqin azim’ i.e you are established at a great moral. Thus, according to this very explanation it means, i.e. all kinds of moral, generosity, courage, justice, mercy, benevolence, truthfulness and courage etc, (i.e to bear something with courage) are gathered in you. In short, as many powers are present in heart of human, such as adab (civility, reverence, respect, decorum), haya modesty), Dianat (honesty), murawat (consideration, friendly, deference), gherat (sense of honour, modesty), istaqamat (firmness, steadfastness), iffat (purity, chastity, modesty), zahadat (virtuousness, abstinence), eitadal (moderation), muwasat i.e. kindness, likewise shuja’at (bravery), sakhawat (generosity), afw (forgiveness), sabr (patience), ehsan (benevolence), sidq (sincerity, honesty), wafa (loyalty, faithfulness) etc. When all these tab’ee (raw-natural) states will be manifested at their respective occasion with consultation of wisdom and tadabbar (careful-thought), then name of all, is moral. And these morals are actually human’s tab’ee (raw-natural) states and raw-natural passions, and they are only called moral when they are used intentionally with respect to time and occasion.”

Peace be on you.
Ahmadiyya Khalifah (a.t.) has asked his community to attain righteousness in Ramadan. He explained that elements of righteousness are to speak truth, avoid lie, be humble and avoid arrogance.
The human becomes Muttaqi (righteous) when he possesses all morals.

Peace be on you -- In Germany, the introduction of Jama'at Ahmadiyya is increasing as Ahmadiyya mosques and local-Chapters are increasing. It causes the world pay more attention and review. This situation demands that each Ahmadi should increase the quality of their practices and fulfill the purpose of Bai'at done with Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.).

At an Ahmadiyya mosque foundation stone ceremony, one of the local guest was the vice chancellor of Marburg university; She said she is fully overwhelmed by emotions. After hearing words of Khalifah of Jama'at Ahmadiyya, especially the explanation of Islamic concept of two paradises; paradise of this word and paradise of hereafter, and how the paradise of this world can be obtained which should become forerunner of paradise of hereafter.

Ahmadiyya Promised Messiah Mahdi (a.s.) taught his community: Evil has two kinds, one to make shirk with God, not knowing His grandeur, to be lazy in His worship and obedience. Second is that not to be kind to His servants, not to pay their rights. It is needed, not to do both kind of wrongness. Remain firm at obedience of God. Stay firm at the pledge you did at Bai'at. Do not hurt God’s servants.

Peace is a gift. Everyone should have it. It is their right, granted by God. The religious talks should be done by patience and wisdom. No force should be used for faith.

“.....When you debate with someone, debate with wisdom and virtuous advices, which should be with softness and politeness. Yes, it is true that many ignorant and unwise clergy of this era, due to their foolishness, have very idea that to spread religion with Jihad and sword is thing of very much reward. And they live life behind cover and hypocrisy. But they are very wrong to have this thought. At their wrong understanding, blame cannot be at Divine Book....."

The one who is defeated by anger, his wisdom is dull and understanding is blunt. He is never given dominance and help in any field. Anger is half madness, when it increases it can become full madness Let it be that when one should speaks, speak after thinking and it should be short. No benefit is obtained by doing lot of debates.

Peace be on you.
Convey peaceful message of Allah with wisdom, good advice, kindness and good deeds for fellow human. On March 17, 2017, Ahmadiyya Khalifah explained this subject for his Community.

"Remember, the person who treats (others) with harshness and becomes angry, words of knowledge and wisdom can never be spoken by his tongue. Such heart is made deprive of words of wisdom which loses self-control when comes in front of his opponent. Bad-mouthed and lips of unbridled one are made un-fated of and deprive of spring of subtleties. Anger and wisdom both cannot get together. The one who is defeated by anger, his wisdom is dull and understanding is blunt. He is never given dominance and help in any field. Anger is half madness, when it increases it can become full madness.

Let it be that when one should speak, speak after thinking and it should be short. No benefit is obtained by doing lot of debates. At some time, brief words of specific cure should be said, and it should go right into ear. Later if it occurs, do it again."

The peace situation is deteriorating worldwide. Curb on weapon sellings and start dialogue among the nations.

“The need of the hour is for us to knock down the barriers of fear that divide us. Rather than erecting walls that keep us apart, we should build bridges that bring us closer together… We must stand up against all forms of oppression, hatred and use all our capabilities to try and foster peace in the world.”


“Sadly, with the passing of time, it seems that we are losing our ability to listen and to tolerate opposing views and perspectives. Opening the channels of communication and facilitating dialogue is essential, otherwise the world’s malaise will only get deeper… Instead of pointing fingers and blaming one another, now is the time for solutions.”
