Sources on Plato and Socrates are very little and some very inauthentic statements are recorded about them. Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV (rh) wrote of the possibility that Socrates, Buddha, etc. were prophets of God. But true knowledge whether they were prophets or not rests with God. The evidence suggests that he was indeed a prophet, regardless of some narrations here and there that would contradict this.

An ahmadi is it appropriate or allowed so say Maulana Abul Kalam Azad (rahimahullah)? Because he left an amazing obituary and tribute to HaZrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as)

April 12, 2021

The phrase "rahimahullah" (May Allah have mercy on him) is normally used for saints in Islam. A person who did not accept the Promised Messiah (as), despite praising him, is not a saint.

Will using ear drops or cleaning ear wax from the doctors with a water gun break my roza?

April 12, 2021

Since that water is not entering your body and is only cleaning it externally, it would not break your fast.

The above is in reference to the use of the water gun to clean ear wax. In the case of ear drops, I believe the same would apply as those ear drops do not enter the body.

If the beard isnt mandatory in Islam, then why does Jamaat put this emphasis on men to the extent that they cannot hold an amila position unless they have a beard? please see khalifa rabay's response to a similar question at 31:00 - https://youtu.be/PGQxP9dHNjY?t=1860

April 12, 2021

The beard is not mandatory, but it is still an indication of a person's love for the sunnah/practice of the Holy Prophet (sa). So having some facial hair (at the very least) makes a person closer to the sunnah. As Huzoor says in the video you shared, a beard is good and is kept out of love for the Holy Prophet (sa). Even Huzoor kept a small beard though he did not like it at that age, as he mentions in the video.

So, all Aamila members should have this much love in their hearts to keep some form of beard in order to be closer to the Holy Prophet (sa). If they don't like it, a small beard should suffice as a sacrifice on their part.

If there is a medical condition or some other hurdle, they can always seek special permission not to have a beard. If the beard was so mandatory, the Jama'at would not have allowed exceptions. But it does allow it.

I don't know how to read Urdu so I used Google translate but from the translation that article doesn't mention any hadith that says the messiah will be the mujaddid of the 14th century. where did Mirza Ghulam get that from? he claims it's on hadith. but hadith in the sahihain exists

April 11, 2021

It's an inference from the Hadith that states "Signs will appear after 200". This is a reference to 200 years after a 1000 years have passed. So some time after 1200 Hijri the Mujaddid and Messiah was to appear. That makes it the 13th/14th century. As no one appeared in the 13th century itself, it had to be the 14th century.

The part about the Mujaddid is derived from the other Hadith which speaks of a Mujaddid appearing in every century of Islam.

As such it is a reference to multiple Ahadith from which this is derived and understood.

+1 answer in: “https://youtu.be/CI6paqu9piU Can you refute this? Can you find a hadith from the sahih sitta that says the messiah is to come in the 14th century and that he will be the mujaddid of the century?”

Why is suicide Haram? Technically it is an outcome of an illness. Mental health is a huge problem and so wouldn't it be considered like dying from some physical disease?

April 11, 2021

Suicide is haram because Allah is the MAALIK of our lives. We are not the owners or granters of our own lives. Only Allah is the One who granted us this life. We cannot take it by ourselves.

Not all suicides are the result of an illness. Some of them are conscious decisions. If a suicide is committed due to mental illness, that is for Allah to know and judge accordingly. We have no way of knowing this by ourselves.

Yes I’m familiar with that 1915 quote, after his demise. He never wrote that in his books, which would have made that case stronger I find it odd he never wrote anything of that sort, such an important point. In 1904 (Al Hakam) he said the verse refers to the hereafter , next life

April 11, 2021

It can refer to both Hereafter and what is yet to come. Why does the 1915 quote bother you? Even the book, Jesus in India, was published after his demise. It should not distract us from what is being attributed to him. Having things published 7 years after his demise is still pretty early. We don't have any writings of any of the Prophets published in their lifetime or even a few years after their death.

+3 answers in: “In the Ahmadi Translation of Surah 2:5 they translate وَبِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوقِنُونَ as “ they have firm faith in what is yet to come.” Why mistranslated this verse? It should be firm faith in the hereafter. In fact even some ahmadi translations have the latter as the translation.”

Is it true when Ahmadis say the Kalima they think of Muhammad SAW And MGA? If not how do you explain Kalamaatul Gil Fasl

April 11, 2021

When reciting the Kalima, Ahmadis think of Prophet Muhammad (sa).

How would you say Canada Jamaat fares in Tabligh compared to other western Jamaats? Is it successful in producing converts compared to other Western jamaats like USA, UK, Germany,etc

I haven't compared the numbers. Allah knows best.

An popular American mullah Yasir Qadhi made a video about 1.5 yrs ago where he mocked Huzoor (as) death and called our Mosques “temples.” After this things have only been going down for him b/c of his comments on the Quran and his position on shirk among other things. Could this be bc he mocked PM?

April 11, 2021

I haven't seen the video. Allah knows best.

Side note: I don't think he uses the term "Mullah" to refer to himself.

My question is in follow up to what I sent about the statement of Hazrat Imam Abu Hanifa RA. From the Ahmadi perspective did Abu Hanifa ra actually say this? Or did he not say it? If he did is it because he was mistaken and this view was corrected by Hakam and Adl Hazrat Masih Maud (as)?

April 11, 2021

Please send me the reference of the quotation of Imam Abu Hanifa (ra).

If Mirza Nasir Ahmad really won in 1974 National Assembly why didn’t any of the Parliamentary members convert to Ahmadiyyat? What evidence do you have that the Ahmadis won?

April 11, 2021

It was not about "winning". The Prophet Muhammad (sa) preached to the Meccans and the Quraish did not convert. It was only 17-18 years at the time of the victory of Mecca when the Quraish finally converted. Even then, not everyone converted immediately. The National Assembly was poised to declare Ahmadis non-Muslim regardless of the discussions in the Parliament. They had planned to do it regardless. If the parliamentary members did not convert (Do you have evidence that none of them converted?) that is their decision. It does not mean anything. If they are biased, that is up to them. The Quraish were also biased, that is their decision. That is why Surah Al-Kafiroon has the verse: "For you your religion; for me, my religion".

How can you condemn caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad while condoning a caricature of the God of the Christians (surely a caricature of a God, or one of his incarnations, is worse than that of a prophet)?

April 11, 2021

You are comparing apples and oranges. Christianity is a religion of caricatures of all kinds. Idols, sculptures, and paintings, are a common feature of Churches everywhere. Comparatively, a Mosque does not have any idols, sculptures, or paintings.

Caricatures of Prophet Muhammad (sa) are not allowed. That's true, as it is sacrilegious. But where is it stated that caricatures of false depictions of God to point out their falsity is also wrong?

Qs regarding finishing the quran in Ramadan: Do I have to read the arabic out loud or can i read it in my head? If i read it in my head, will it be considered that i had completed it? For the days that I'm not praying due to my period, how will I read the daily parts of the Quran?

April 11, 2021

You can read the Quran in your heart.

Recitation during menstruation is not allowed however. You can read more parts of the Quran before or after the menstruation if you are trying to finish one reading of the Quran during Ramazan. Even if you are not able to, remember that actions are judged by intentions.

Huzoor's fatwa in this regard is available here:

Haqiqatul Wahi page 222. Mirza Ghulam says anyone who rejects Prophet Muhammad ﷺ after the proofs have been shown to him will be "condemned to eternal hell" Doesnt the Ahmadi Jamaat belive that hell is not eternal? Can you explain this contradiction?

April 10, 2021

It is not literally going to last eternity. The Promised Messiah (as) has explained this in his other writings. Only heaven is eternal.

In haqiqatul Wahi page 197 MGA claims that there has never been a plague in India before his time. This is wrong. From historical records there have been many plagues in India before his time. For example the 1817 cholera pandemic ravaged India. So did MGA make a false claim?

April 10, 2021

It is a reference to 'grand prophecies' meaning a plague of that magnitude and spread did not occur before.

What if the husband doesn’t agree to get a separate place because his mom is a single mother. I never want to put him in such a situation but shouldn’t the mother in law not make things harder for me so I won’t have to ask for a separate place.

April 10, 2021

What if the space is not separate as in two different homes, but the house is of a kind that has two separate apartments? For example, there is a separate entrance and kitchen in the basement?

Did Promised Messiah in his writings ever mention this interpretation i.e, ‘yet to come’ ? I have never found it. This interpretation of the verse in Surah fatihah would apply very strongly for his revelations and ministry

AOA, I have been in a relationship with a sunni girl for almost two years and have floated the idea of marrying her with my parents but they said it’s only possible if she decides to convert to ahmadiyaat first, is this true? And if she does but her parents don’t agree and there is no Wali what then

April 10, 2021

Wa 'Alaikum As-Salaam. She does not need to convert but you should seek permission from Hazrat Khalifatul Masih. If her parents are unwilling, you can mention that as well in the letter to Huzoor.

Some Anti and Ex Ahmadis criticize Jamia saying that our scholars our graduations from an unofficial university and that the other Islamic religious institutions are much more better in the education they offer and the ulema they produce

April 10, 2021

What do you mean by "unofficial" university? Every graduate of Jamia does so with the approval of Huzoor (aa). Hence, every graduate is official. If you are saying that it is not an accredited university, that's true. In order to become accredited, there are certain requirements that will take time. For instance, having teachers in Jamia who graduated with a teacher's degree from a Canadian university. At this point, we cannot do that because many of the teachers came from Pakistan and Jamia is still a young university. Some of the teachers are pursuing degrees and in due course, this requirement will be fulfilled. Similarly, there are other requirements that will take time to be fulfilled Insha Allah.

Regardless, in government documents, Jamia is a private university and is recorded as such. Students from other parts of the world have been able to obtain student visas to come and study in Jamia with government approval.

As far as the ulema produced by other institutions, I don't know what you mean. It's a subjective opinion. Jamia has produced great scholars Al-hamdolillah.

"More than 80 million people joined Aḥmadiyya Muslim Jamā‘at in 2000-01 alone" see here:https://www.alislam.org/library/books/Tabligh-Guide.pdf why such a blatant lie

April 10, 2021

It's not a lie. Those numbers were considered to be correct at that time. Many people did join the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at in those times. We were able to remain in touch with many of them. However, there are some with whom our connection was lost.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad drew a picture of the Trinity and he drew the Holy Spirit as a pigeon in a very demeaning way. Why is this?

April 10, 2021

I don't think it was 'demeaning'. Tolerance of other people's beliefs does not mean that we have to start agreeing with shirk. The Trinity shows God as very weak and there is very strong language in the Quran condemning this belief.

Mirza Bashir Ahmad in his book Kalimatul Fasl said “non ahmadi muslims are pakka kafir and darul islam se kharij” what was the reaction to this when this kitab was bought in 1974 National Assembly. Can you explain from Ahmadi perspective?

April 09, 2021

Do you have the reference for this quotation?

Anyhow, this issue is discussed at length in Ahmadiyya literature. Check out the following page for a detailed discussion:

https://www.alislam.org/book/truth-prevails/chapter-vii/

And here is an important quotation:

“It is evident from this statement itself that the people here I have in mind I take as Muslims. Therefore, when I use the word kafir, I have in my mind kafirs of the second kind which I have defined already, i.e., they are not driven or thrown out of the Millat. When I say they are outside the pale of Islam I have in my mind the view, by Mufradat-i-Raghib on page 240, where Islam has been shown to be of two kinds: one lower than the stage of Iman ; the other above the stage of Iman. In Dunal Iman, in the stage of lower than common Iman, are included people whose Islam remains at a level lower than a proper Iman and in the stage of higher than the common Iman are Muslims who stand at a level of distinction in their faith, higher than the common level. This is why I said that some people fall outside the pale of Islam, I had in my mind people who come under the category of Dunal Iman. There is an authentic Hadith in Mishkat as well, where the Holy Prophet said: `Whosoever helps a man who is unjust, he puts himself thereby out of the pale of Islam.'”
