67. Who Is Lord Maitreya? New Age Messiah(Antichrist) Identified Speculates that Lord Maitreya is the next Caliph of the ahmadiyya Movement. http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NewAge/Who_is_Lord_Maitreya.htm

NEW AGE MESSIAH IDENTIFIED: WHO IS LORD MAITREYA? By Anonymous Just a note, I am just stating the facts from the book, let your minds decide whether Troy Lawrence is right or wrong and that Maitreya is in fact the antichrist. He says that the paper trail for Maitreya goes from California to Karachi from Pakistan to the inner chambers of the Ahmadiyya movement- from the Ahmadiyya movement to a small powerful group called the "Hassasines". A group so dangerous they have been coined "Assassines" by Troy Lawrence. Troy Lawrence sums it up saying that Maitreya is the leader of the Ahmadiyya movement in Islam. The Sufi movement alone contributes 15 million followers in every muslim nation of his worldwide network. This also does not include the millions of new agers who are ready to fall at this feet in America or other countries when he has his "Day of Declaration". Troy Lawrence goes on to say that he is not presumptuous to say that Maitreya is indeed the Antichrist. Maitreya is the great-grandson of Ghulam Ahmad and thus the 5th Kalifa of the Ahmadiyya movement. He only awaits the death of this uncle (who has no son) Tahir Ahmad, who is now in ill health. (This book was also written in 1991, so I am sure Tahir Ahmad is probably a stiffie!) To the Muslims he is the long awaited Imam Mahdi, the Hindus Krishna, Buddhists he will be the long awaited 5th Buddha and for the Jews he will be their Messiah. (there is currently a Maitreya Buddha statue being built, supposedly the world tallest statue) could this be the image of the beast that speaks as mentioned in Revelation. Some unsuspecting Christians he will be Jesus Christ returned. Lord Maitreya arrived from Pakistan to England in the early 90's and he was born in Feb, 1962 which should make him 40?

69. New Page 5 Adil Salahi, Arab News, Jeddah, explains how Ahmadis turn people away from the truth. http://www.ourdialogue.com/q1.htm#1

What is Qadiyanism or Ahmadiya? How is it different from Islam? Qadiyanism is a movement started in a town called Qadiyan in India by a man called Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. It later split into two factions, one of which called itself after the founder, hence the name Ahmadiya. Both, however, share the same deviant beliefs which ascribe the status of Prophethood to their man. It is well known that Qur'an makes it clear that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the last in the line of prophets. This is stated clearly in Verse 40 of Surah 33, entitled Al-Ahzab or the Confederates [or the Clan]. In this verse God describes Muhammad as "God's messenger and the last of all prophets." The Ahmadis and Qadiyanis claim to be Muslims, alleging that their movement is the second mission of the message of Islam and their man, Ghulam Ahmad, is God's messenger. They try to reconcile this with the above quoted Qur'anic verse by saying that the Arabic word denoting 'last,' in the above verse means 'seal,' which means that Muhammad serves as the seal which endorses every new message. This is twisted logic, by a person who has tried to justify his false claims by giving a special meaning to the words of a language he did not speak. The Arabic word does have the connotations of a 'seal' but in the sense of 'putting an end to something, or bringing it to completeness that admits of no additions.' It is like a letter that has been signed and put in an envelope which is then sealed. You cannot add anything to that letter unless you break its seal.

70. Pseudo-Islamic Cults - Ahmadiyya, Mirza Ghulam Qadiani, Qadianism, Ahmadis, Qadi The ahmadiyya/Qadiani Movement. For a more detailed exposition of theahmadiyyas, visit ahmadiyya Exposed; ahmadiyya Exposed in MALAY; http://www.themodernreligion.com/anti_muslim_main.htm

Pseudo-Islamic Cults "In My Ummah, there shall be born Thirty Grand Liars (Dajjals), each of whom will claim to be a prophet, But I am the Last Prophet; there is No Prophet after Me." (Abu Dawood Vol. 2 p. 228; Tirmidhi Vol. 2 p.45) Ismailis - followers of the Aga Khan A Letter from a former Ismaili As-Salaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu May I for the sake of Allah (swt), His Deen and the Muslim Ummaah, request you to please consider the following facts very carefully and decide on your responsibility before Allah (swt) in this matter. I am a revert to Islam. I was an Ismaili before - a follower of the Aga Khan. And I perceive an important Da'wah responsibility which the majority of Muslims are for some reason or other are ignoring. I am not getting you into petty sectarian issues, but a very important matter - please judge for yourself: 1. The Ismailis (followers of the Aga Khan) all professedly believe that the Qur'an was time bound and was not meant to be a Universal message for all times. They believe that their spiritual leader, Karim Aga Khan, is the "walking - talking Qur'an" and his "religious pronouncements", whatever they may be, are the "guidance" for the present times. The fundamental article of faith that there will not be any NEW revelations or "wahy" after the Qur'an, is being completely violated by the Ismailis. 2. The Aga Khan has officially Declared himself, before his followers, as the "Mazhar of Allah on earth". The word "mazhar" means "copy" or "manifest". Consequently, these Ismailis who call themselves Muslims do "sujood" before him. So even the primary axiomatic principle of Tawheed is being fundamentally and formally violated by them.

Bismillah alRehman alRaheem Anti Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam 25th August 2000 1974 Declaration by World Muslim League (Rabita al-Alam al-Islami) by Mohammad Bashir World Muslim League held its annual conference at Makkah Al-Mukaramma Saudi Arabia from 14 th to 18th of Rabiul Awwal 1394 H (April 1974) in which 140 delegations of Muslim countries and organizations from all over the world participated. I (Mohammad Bashir) too was there in this Conference alongwith the other journalists from all over the world. The Conference unanimously adopted the following Resolution regarding Qadianism. Qadianism or Ahmadiyyat: It is a subversive movement against Islam and the Muslim world, which falsely and decietfully claims to be an Islamic sect; who under the guise of Islam and for the sake of mundane interests contrives and plans to damage the very foundations of Islam. Its eminent deviations from the basic Islamic principles are as follows: Its founder claimed that he was a Prophet. They deliberately distort the meanings of the verses of the Holy Quran. They decalred that Jehad has been obolished.

74. Qadianiyyah In The Light Of Islam(4060) Supervised by Shaykh Muhammed Salih AlMunajjid, this fatwa highlights why ahmadiyya is out of the fold of Islam and provides information about ahmadiyya personalities, teachings, spread and positions of influence. http://www.islam-qa.com/QA/1|Basic_Tenets_of_Faith(Aqeedah)/Madhaahib_wa_Adyaan_

Qadianiyyah in the light of Islam Dear Brother in Islam, I appeal to you to answer the questions that I have previously submitted or to answer the one that follows, as the problem has for months caused me nothing but trouble in my local community. Even if I had the support of a fatwa, it might not help because this local community does not respect the ulama, but at least I would know that I am not erring. I know that you cannot answer all questions, but surely something as important as this cannot be ignored. It is Ramadan and I hope for your answer. 1. If someone is not a qadiani but knows that they believe in a false prophet and accepts qadianis as a madhab in Islam, are they out of Islam? I believe that they are out of Islam, and I am acting on that belief in my conduct towards such people. Praise be to Allaah. Definition: Qadianiyyah is a movement that started in 1900 CE as a plot by the British colonialists in the Indian subcontinent, with the aim of diverting Muslims away from their religion and from the obligation of jihaad in particular, so that they would not oppose colonialism in the name of Islam. The mouthpiece of this movement is the magazine Majallat Al-Adyaan (Magazine if Religions) which was published in English.

75. Gambian Fatwa Fatwa declares ahmadiyya beliefs as opposite to Islam. Also contains clarification regarding the Islamic belief about Jesus. http://alhafeez.org/rashid/gambia.html

Anti Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam 15th January 2002 Gambian Supreme Islamic Council declares Ahmadiyya/Qadianiyah Movement as out of the fold of Islam henchmen , they had received a lot of support from the colonial masters, and after their departure, their loyalists who were handed over the charge of the government. Gambia has been one such country. In 1965, the British Imperialists were forced to grant the country of Gambia its independence. They abdicated rule in favor of one of their faithful supporters, Mr. Farman Sangat, whom they appointed to the position of Governor of that nation. Mr. Sangat was a known Qadiani, who one year earlier had traveled to Rabwah, Pakistan, and given his oath of allegiance (bai'at) to Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood, the second head of the Qadiani Movement. During the British rule, the Qadiani headquarters in Gambia had continually preached that obedience to the British Empire was an article of faith for every Muslim! AlHamdolilah by the Grace of Allah, reawakening of Islam is taking place all over and the fraud of Ahmadiyyat/Qadianiyat is being exposed for what it is. and The Gambia is not staying behind. The President of the nation of Gambia, Mr. Yahya AbuBakr, has officially declared the country's Qadiani community a non-Muslim minority, after Qadiani scholars were outclassed by Muslim scholars in the Courts and other fora. Following is the translation of statement of The Gambia Supreme Islamic Council.

79. English Translations Of The Holy Quran Critical review by A.R.Kidwai of translations of the Holy Quran. Contains section about ahmadiyya/Qadiani/Lahore Qurans. http://alhafeez.org/rashid/qtranslate.html

Bismillah arRahman arRahim Anti Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam October 2000 Ahmadiyya and the Holy Quran distorting translations to support their claims We present to our readers a reproduction of an article evaluating the english translations of the Holy Quran. Of particular interest is the section about Ahmadiyya/Qadiani translations . This section explains how Ahmadiyya even distorts the translation of the Holy Quran to support the Ahmadiyya claims. ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF THE HOLY QUR'AN An Annotated Bibliography by A.R. Kidwai Before the fairly recent publication of the massive World Bibliography of The Translations of The Meanings of The Holy Qur'an (Istanbul, OIC Research Center, 1986), it was hard to even track down the material on the translations of the Holy Qur'an in various languages. Nonetheless, since the Bibliography is not annotated, the reader gets no idea about the translations make-up, his dogmatic presuppositions and his approach to the Qur'an, as well as the quality of the translation. The present annotated bibliography, taking into account only complete English translations to date, attempts to answer some of the above questions. In preparing the bibliography I received all possible help from the Islamic Foundation, Leicester (UK), which is thankfully acknowledged.

Ahmadiyya-Bewegung Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Uebersicht unten stehender Text Ahmadiyya-Bewegung des Islam Der Sunnit Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad von Qadian (1835-1908) gründete 1889 in Qadian (Punjab/Nordindien) die A.-Bewegung, nachdem er seit 1875 Offenbarungen und Visionen von Gott erhalten hat. Darin erklärt ihn Gott zum "Verheißenen Messias" (Imam Mahdi), auf den die Gläubigen der verschiedenen Religionen gewartet haben. Nach ihm werde kein anderer Gesandte Gottes oder Retter mehr kommen. Über das Leben Ghulam Ahmad ist wenig bekannt. Er stammt aus einer wohlhabenden Familie und soll zunächst dem Sufismus nahegestanden und theologische Studien betrieben haben. Ob er eine Ausbildung absolvierte und einen Beruf ausübte, ist ungewiß. Die Ahmadis erachten sich als die wahren Muslime, die den Koran wieder - dank den Erläuterungen des Verheißenen Messias' - in seiner Reinheit halten, die islamische Welt wiedervereinigen und den Islam binnen 300 Jahren (2189) zur Weltreligion führen werden. Dieses Ziel ist der Antrieb für eine rege Missionstätigkeit, die mit sozialen Projekten verknüpft wird, und sich bereits in über 100 Ländern auf allen fünf Kontinenten ausgebreitet hat. (Nach eigenen Angaben: 3824 Gemeinden in 130 Ländern.) Doch in traditionell islamischen Ländern stößt die Bewegung auf harten Widerstand. V.a. in Pakistan, wo seit 1950 in Rabwah das Weltzentrum liegt, werden die Ahmadis ihrer Glaubensfreiheit beraubt und verfolgt. (1974 erließ die pakistanische Nationalversammlung ein Gesetz, das die A.-Bewegung als "Nicht-islamische Minderheit" erklärt.)
