In reply to a
question pertaining to the Mujaddid claims of Hadhrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad
Azim Sahib of Mauritius ,
Dr. Rashid Jahangiri of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement stated the following in their official Blog:
“No one among Qadianis, who has
spent years in Qadiani jamaat listening and believing what Qadiani Khalifas has
been saying, can all of a sudden become a Mujaddid.
Here is my reason: Intelligent Muslims who may even not be Mamur-min-Allah themselves have sight to “see”, “smell” and “feel” with in moments of meeting someone who claims to be a “mamur-min-Allah” (e.g. Qadiani Khalifas) and can figure out genuineness of his claim.
Example: Maulana Noor Ud Din when first time went to Qadian to look/ meet HMGA, while his carriage (
So, a person who has spent his life looking for a one chance in his life to shake hand with “hazoor” (Qadiani Khalifa) can NOT become Mamur-min-Allah one morning.
Bottom line: No one among Qadianis can become Mujaddid one morning when they get out of their bed. I think Mujjaddid will be some one among general Muslims. I personally would give more credit to Javed Ahmad Ghamidi if he makes any such claim over Qadiani claimants.” (http://ahmadiyya.org/WordPress/2011/06/13/ ~ 17 June 2011)
“This man is thinking
just like the Arabs at the time of the Promised Messiah (as). They thought that
the reformer of Islam would come from amidst the Arabs but verily Allah has the
power to elevate whomsoever He likes as Messenger. All Dr. Rashid Jahangiri’s
allegations are baseless, especially concerning the Qadiani bit and the shake-hand
bit.
Is Mr. Jahangiri therefore playing God? It was Hazrat Massih Maoud (as) who was a Qadiani (whereas I have not been born in Qadian, but I am an Ahmadi Muslim, by virtue of my spiritual relationship with him. How can he be sure that Allah shall not raise His Mujaddid from the Jamaat of Hazrat Massih Maoud (as)? He has said that it is because of the claimant following Ahmadiyya caliphs. Then why would Allah raise a Mujaddid if there were not to be any corruption in the Jamaat of the Promised Messiah (as)?

Then why would Allah raise a Mujaddid if there were not to be any corruption in the Jamaat of the Promised Messiah (as)?
Therefore, does Dr.
Rashid Jahangiri really believe in Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as)? If he
believes in him as Mujaddid, then even others rejected him and did not believe
in him? Does that mean therefore that he was false? Then how could there be a
Mujaddid to be raised outside the circle, outside the Jamaat of the Promised
Messiah (as)? Would this then not bring forward contradictory views and beliefs
in such a key belief in Islam (about the continuity of Elects of Allah,
Mujaddidin etc.)
The Promised Messiah
(as) came not to bring another set of laws but to revive the true teachings of
Islam. Even when Allah elevated him, it was incumbent on him to believe in all
Mujaddidin whom Allah elevated before him (in the previous eras). In fact, he
even mentioned them in his books.
Therefore, it is
people like Dr. Rashid Jahangiri who are hell-bent in deviating people from the
true teachings of Islam (from the right path), distorting it to suit their
needs. And they are the same-like people which the Quran talks about when they
say:
“…What!
Is this he whom Allah has sent as a Messenger?” (25:42)
It is the Zaalims, those
who have a disease in their heart who utter such words and they take the
Prophet of Allah in ridicule, like this Qur’anic verse says (25:42).
This verse reflects
the disease of heart which is in Dr. Rashid; his name may be “Rashid” (Guide to
the right path) but his actions prove the contrary (he does not reflect the
good meaning of his name), readily deviating people from the right path.
Through his comments, it is clear that he is commanding Allah, and he is trying
to prove that it is his analysis which is correct. Despite the fact that he has not seen me in flesh and blood, yet he
made these comments. Allah says: “…They make a jest
of you (and say), What! Is this he whom Allah has sent as a Messenger?”
The next verse comes
as a confirmation of what is happening nowadays, when even the Ahmadis are now
taking their Khalifa as idol and confessing before him and expecting him to
forgive them (to bestow upon them pardon)!...
Thereafter, O
Messenger of Allah have you seen these people who take their passions as their
god? Would you stand as guardian over them?
Now, let’s take the
example of Hazrat Ibrahim (as). God Forbid, has Allah made an error in choosing
him as His Prophet because he was the son of an idol-carver, who fabricated
idols (associates to Allah) with his own hands? On the contrary, this showed
the clear Divine Manifestation in all this, where Ibrahim (as) tried his very
best to open the eyes of his father on his abased activities, but unfortunately
his father did not listen to him and “expelled” him out of the house. But
Hazrat Ibrahim (as) remained firm with Allah, and obedient to Him alone and
endured all the atrocities which his father made him undergo.
Concerning the
manifestation which Maulvi Nuruddin (ra) saw on the Promised Messiah, it is
true that the latter was always in the Mosque for his spiritual enhancement,
and indeed Hazrat Nuruddin saw the “Nur” (Light) shining on the Promised
Messiah (as) which made him return the tonga. Now, it must be borne in mind
that Hazrat Maulvi Sahib became the First Khalifa and not a Mujaddid.
Therefore, Mr. Rashid Jahangiri must take care which examples he uses to expose
before people.
Thus, Mr. Jahangiri
is taking upon himself to judge that Allah cannot elevate His Mujaddid from the
“Qadiani” Ahmadiyya Jamaat, but God Forbid, tomorrow, Christians also can come
forward and lay the same claims that Muslims are not worthy of Divine favours,
and that the true Envoy of God or the Christ is to come in their midst (i.e.
Christianity). They can say that God gave them (and the Jews) in the past the
Tauraat and Injeel and that they are the true inheritors of the prophets. Now
where would be the logic and divine commandments (through the Quran) in all
these statements (if the Christians were to say as Dr. Rashid Jahangiri is
saying)?
I hope that these
words and questions act as an eye-opener for Dr. Rashid Jahangiri and for all
seekers of truth. Insha-Allah.
