If you happen to talk to just another person around you about this issue, most will tell you how blasphemous this community is! They would even tell you the things that you might have never heard. And when you ask their source of information, they will tell you that they heard this from some so called “Aashiq-e-Rasool” maulana saab.

I’d like to quote here my encounter with a casual, disco and bully kind of guy who started shouting that Ahmadies are worst then Hindus and they deserve to be persecuted. He maintained that the Ahmadiyya community receives aid in terms of large amount of money from the enemies like Jews and other Anti-Islamic forces. So apparently that guy was pissed and jealous on the alleged monetary aid to the community and not on the blasphemy.

I am not sure if that is true or not, but upon asking can you prove that and the guy started accusing me of being anti-Islamic and many such terms. He even said that he doubts that even I am Ahmadi. So there was no point of having further discussion with him.

You’ll find such people every now and then who will keep justifying the insane things and few even say that it is the duty of state to persecute all the Ahmadies or those who disbelieve the “end of Prophethood”. But the point is that killing people will give you the solution? Does the State or religion allows you to kill someone for his religious beliefs?

We know that in the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad PBUH, he even prayed for the opponents and those who were keen to kill or fight with him.

Another argument I’d like to give against the persecution of any religious community! Let’s say that we all believe that the Ahmadies are kaafir(disbelievers) and are out of the pale of Islam! Now if you want to know what Allah tells you how to treat the so called “Kaafirs” then go and read the Glorious Qur’an’s chapter Surah Al Kaafiroon! The explanation of it read:

O Prophet Muhammad SAW, tell them (the disbelievers) that you do not worship/follow what they worship! neither do they worship what you worship or follow! And you will never follow what they follow! Neither will they follow what you follow! So tell them that they enjoy their path and you stick to your path!

So I believe killing someone on religious grounds is NOT justified in any case! And if you believe you are the accurate and true Muslims and Ahmadies are not, they instead of killing them, why dont we invite them to what we call the true Islam? What are we afraid of? We are afraid that their tablighi jamaat might turn Muslims to the Ahmadiyya faith? Why are we afraid of that when we believe ourselves to be “true Muslims”. If they propagate their religion, we should propagate ours! Isn’t it justified?
