ISLÂM , QADIANISM, SHI'ISM

Introduction:

The existence of numerous sects, all claiming to be rightly guided Muslims is a predetermined fact referred to in the Holy Qur'ân.

Allâh Ta’âla states:-

"And if your Lord had so willed, He could have made mankind a single unified group, but they will continue to dispute and differ......." (Surah 11 - V. 118)

Nabi said:- "Verily this nation (of Muslims) will be divided into seventy three sects. All of them will be in the fire except one." When asked which one, he replied "The one that adheres to my sunnah and the sunnah of my companions." (Abû Dawûd)

This brief treatise, details some of the fundamental differences, between Muslims, Qadianis and the Shi'ites. It is hoped that the reference chart will highlight some of deviant beliefs of both the Shi'ites and the Qadianis.

Reference Chart

.	ISLÂM	QADIANISM	SHI'ISM
STATUS OF THE QUR’ÂN	The Qur’ân in its present form is authentic, complete and protected from any distortions up to the day of Qiyâmah.	Verses pertaining to Jihad have been abrogated by the wahi revealed to Ghulam Ahmed. He has in addition to the Qur'ân, received wahie, which is as important as the Qur'ân.	The Qur’n is incomplete and distorted. The original Qur'ân had 17,000 verses. Hence 2/3 of the Qur'ân is missing. The original Qur'ân, compiled by Hazrat Ali (radhi Allâhu anhu) would be brought back by Imâm Mahdie.
FINALITY OF PROPHETHOOD	Nabi Muhammed (sallAllâhu alayhi wa sallam) was the final Nabi, through whom Islam gained completion and through whom prophethood was sealed and wahie ended	The prophet had been sent twice to the world. The first time he appeared in Makkah, in the form of Muhammed and the second time in Qadian in the form of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed.	The Imâm is a successor to the Nabi appointed by God. He is infallible, and excels all prophets, besides Nabi Muhammed in dignity. They possess the knowledge of the past and the future. They possess authority of death. They are divinely protected against error.
THE KALIMA	"There is no object of worship except Allâh, and Muhammed is the messenger of Allâh."	The same kalima as the Muslims, except that Muhammed in the kalima refers to Mirza Ghulam Ahmed.	Same kalimah with the following addition "Salvation is only attained by granting allegiance to Ahlul Bait (the immediate household of Nabi and by disowning their enemies (i.e. Abu Bakr, Umar, and all non-shias)"
PILLARS OF DEEN	Imân Salât Zakât Saum Haj	Obedience to Allâh. Obedience to the English government.	Salât Saum Haj Zakât Khums - 20% tax on profits Jihâd Enjoining good Preventing evil Love for the godly ones Hatred for the evil ones (i.e. the sahaba)
STATUS OF SAHABA	The companions of Nabi have been praised by Allâh Ta’ala Himself in the Holy Qur'ân. It is therefore not permissible to criticize them or undermine their integrity.	"The companions ate cheese from the Christians, although it was well known that it contained pigs fat." Fatima (radhi Allâhu anha) appeared to Ghulam Ahmed in a revealed state.	All the companions became Kâfir except the immediate household of Nabi and three other sahaba after his demise. Ali (radhi Allâhu anhu) is considered by some as a vicegerent, others regard him as a prophet, whilst another group regard him as god.

SOME OF THE STRANGE SHI'ITE BELIEFS:

THE WIVES OF NABI :

The Shi'ite’s bear the same enmity and malice for the wives of Nabi (sallAllâhu alayhi wa sallam), as they bear against the Sahaba. They are frequently referred to as hypocrites and infidels.

KITMÂN AND TAQIYYA (HOLY HYPOCRISY)

Among the fundamental teachings are kitmân and taqiyya. (to conceal one’s real faith and belief). Imâm Jaffar Sadiq is purported to have said to Sulaiman bin Khalid:- `O Sulaiman! You follow a religion that whoever will conceal, God will bestow honour on him and whoever will reveal and publicise it, he will be disgraced by God". He further states: - "Among ten parts of religion, nine lie in taqiyya. He who does not observe taqiyya is devoid of faith".

MUT’A (TEMPORARY MARRIAGE):

A hadeeth attributed to Nabi reads "Whoever does Mut’a once reaches the rank of Imâm Hoosein, whoever does it twice reaches the rank of Imâm Hassan, whoever does it thrice reaches the rank of Hazrat Ali, and whoever does it four times attains my rank.

Another purported hadeeth states:- "Anyone doing Mut’a with a believing woman is like one who has made the journey to the Ka’aba 70 times.

KHOMEINI'S VIEW REGARDING PROPHETHOOD:

"Every prophet came to establish justice on earth. His aim was to establish justice but he was not successful. The same is the position of the seal of prophets who came to reform human society and establish justice but he failed during his life time". (Ittihatwa-yak-jihati) He further states: "It is a necessary principle of our faith that our Imams have ranks that exceed those of close angels and the appointed messengers". (Al Hukumatul Islamiya)

MAY ALLÂH TA’ÂLA PROTECT OUR IMÂN AND SAVE US FROM
BEING PART OF THE DEVIANT GROUPS. AMÎN.
