            | Detailed reply to Qadiani allegations 
                  against Lahore Ahmadiyya elders |  
 The Qadianis have placed some material on their Website (www.alislam.org) 
          alleging that, before the Split in 1914, the Lahore Ahmadiyya elders, 
          particularly Maulana Muhammad Ali, made statements saying that Hazrat 
          Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is a prophet. This is a complete misrepresentation. 
          Maulana Muhammad Ali answered all these allegations about him several 
          times during his life, from the Split in 1914 to nearly the end of his 
          life.

             We also refer our readers below to some general material which refutes 
          the Qadiani allegations. 
         
 Please read our article: Qadianis flee Maulana 
          Muhammad Ali's challenges to debate where we quote the Maulana's 
          repeatedly published statements that: 
          
         "(1) Mirza Mahmud Ahmad has made a 
          false statement and committed a fabrication against the Promised Messiah 
          that in 1901 he changed his claim in this way that, while previously 
          denying a claim to prophethood, he now made a claim to prophethood himself, 
          and cancelled his former writings of several years containing denials 
          of a claim to prophethood." We also quote Maulana Muhammad Ali's sworn 
          declaration made in response to a challenge from a Qadiani: 
          
           "I, Muhammad Ali, head of 
            the Lahore Ahmadiyya Jamaat, do swear that my belief is that Hazrat 
            Mirza [Ghulam Ahmad] sahib of Qadian is a Mujaddid and the 
            Promised Messiah, but not a prophet, nor can any person become a kafir 
            or excluded from the fold of Islam by denying him. This was also the 
            belief of Hazrat Mirza sahib. O God, if I have uttered falsehood in 
            this oath taken in Thy name, then send upon me from Thyself such exemplary 
            punishment as has no human hand in it, and from which the world would 
            learn how stern and terrible is God's retribution for one who deceives 
            His creatures by swearing falsely in His name."  
 We have also quoted extensive statements from Qadiani 
          leaders, made before the Split in 1914, in which they declared 
          that no prophet could come after the Holy Prophet 
          Muhammad, that only auliya or saints could come after him, and 
          that Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was Mujaddid of the 14th Century 
          hijra. We have also displayed scanned images of their 
          full Urdu writings from the original publications. Please see:  
          Mirza Mahmud Ahmad at one time believed that 
            no prophet can come after Prophet Muhammad. 
 
Father-in-law of Mirza Mahmud Ahmad declared 
            Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to be Mujaddid of 14th Century (two 
            days before Hazrat Mirza's death).
 
Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, a top-most Qadiani, says: 
            We don't preach Hazrat Mirza's prophethood.
