Khilafat -e- Ahmadiyya
  • The successors after The Promised Messiah as

Madeeha Syed Shazia Malik

A Passage from the Quran on Khilafat
  • Allah had promised to those among you who believe
    and do good works that He will surely make them
    Successors in the earth, as He made Successors
    from among those who were before them and that
    He will surely establish for them their religion
    which He has chosen for them and that He will
    surely give them in exchange security and peace
    after their fear They will worship Me, and they
    will not associate anything with Me. Then who so
    is ungrateful after that, they will be the
    rebellious. Surah Al-Nur, Verse 56)

The Promised Messiah AS
  • The founder of Ahmadiyyat Movement In Islam
  • His coming was prophesized by the Holy Prophet
    saw, as well as in the Holy Quran
  • He came and reformed Islam at a time when muslims
    began to diverge from the true Islam
  • After his demise his successors came to be known
    as the Khalifas of Ahmadiyyat

4

  • Hazrat Al-Haaj Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood
    Ahmadra

5
Hazrat Al-Haaj Hakeem Maulana Nooruddinra1st
Khalifa
  • Under divine commandment the Promised Messiah
    initiated the Baiat on 23rd March, 1889 and the
    very first person who swore the pledge of
    allegiance was Maulana Hakeem Nooruddin
  • Like Hadhrat Abu Bakrra, Hadhrat Nooruddinra
    established the unity of the Community after the
    death of the Promised Messiahas.

6
Some of his outstanding achievements
  • He laid the foundation for the institution of
    Khilafat. He successfully thwarted(use a simpler
    word) the designs of a group of power hungry,
    intriguing and jealous persons albeit a small
    minority.
  • English translation of the Holy Quran.
  • First foreign mission was established in London.

7
More of his outstanding achievements
  • Extensions were carried out to Masjid Aqsa and
    Talimul Islam High School and Boarding house
    buildings.
  • Noor Hospital and Masjid Noor were inaugurated.
  • A number of publications were started to broaden
    the propagation activities of the Jamaat. Among
    them, "Noor" from Qadian, "Al Haque" from Delhi
    and "Paigham-e-Sulha" from Lahore.

8
Hadhrat Al-Haaj Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood
Ahmadra------2nd Khalifa
  • Also known as the "Promised Reformer", Hadhrat
    Mahmood Ahmad introduced many improvements into
    the administration of the Community.
  • Also known as "Musleh Maoud"

9
The Prophecy
  • The Holy Prophet Muhammad saw had given the
    tidings of the advent of a spiritual, pious and
    Promised son of Mahdi at a time when Islam would
    be at a stage of decline and depression. He had
    prophesied he would come with a mission to revive
    and strengthen the Islamic theology and, through
    him, Islam, would resurge on the surface of the
    Earth.

10
Some of his outstanding achievements
  • In June 1913, he started, "The Al Fazl" a news
    paper for the Jamaat in which, apart from the
    national news, educative, informative,
    historical, preaching and reformatory articles
    were published (u also list Al-fazl as an
    achievement of the first khalifa)
  • One of his most important achievements was the
    founding of a strong system for propagation and
    preaching of Islam within the country and
    abroad-Nazarat Dawato Tabligh in 1919

11
  • He was bestowed with such a meaningful wisdom of
    the Holy Quran that, if anyone, with whatever
    knowledge and following whatever religion,
    criticised the Holy Quran, by the grace of Allah,
    he would convincingly silence and satisfy him
    through Quran alone.
  • He got the Holy Quran translated in various
    important languages of the world
  • During his Khilafat many mosques were constructed
    in foreign countries.
  • Two of his most renowned achievements were the
    establishments of Tehrik-e-Jadid and Waqf-e-Jadid

12
  • In order to consolidate and organize the Jamaat
    he established the central and regional Anjumans
    and, for better functioning various important
    Nazarats were established under the aegis of
    Sadar Anjuman Ahmadiyya Qadian.
  • Hazrat Musleh Maoud planned, re-organized and
    consolidated the financial structure of the
    Jamaat on very sound footings by initiating
    various schemes and appeals for donation and
    contribution.

13
Hazrat Hafiz Mirza Nasir Ahmadra3rd Khalifa
  • As Khalifa, Hadhrat Nasir Ahmad offered great
    leadership and guidance when Pakistan declared
    the Community to be non-Muslim.
  • In Talmud, there is a passage which indicates
    that on the death of the Messiah his spiritual
    Kingdom will pass to his son and grandson. The
    much awaited prophecy was fulfilled when Hazrat
    Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad was granted a son
    on 16th November, 1909.

14
Prophecy
  • Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad, the
    second Caliph, wrote to a friend that God had
    informed him that He would give him a son who
    would strengthen the fabric of Islam. The
    prophecy about the grandson speaks of Yahya.
    Basing his conclusion on the word "Yahya", the
    Promised Messiah thought rightly that the child
    would be given a long life unlike Mubarak Ahmad
    son of the Promised Messiah who died at a tender
    age. From the Holy Quran, we learn that Yahya was
    taught the word of God at a young age. Similarly,
    Hazrat Hafiz Mirza Nasir Ahmad committed the
    Quran to memory in his younger years.

15
Notable Achievements
  • The Fazle Omar Foundation
  • The Nusrat Jehan Leap Forward Programme
  • The Jubilee Fund

16
  • His golden achievement is the guidance he offered
    to the Community when Pakistan declared this God-
    fearing Community a Non-Muslim minority. That the
    Community in its totality has not suffered from
    disintegration, establishes the fact that the
    Caliph is no paper-tiger and that he can stand
    trials and tribulations. Equally historic is his
    sermon that we are Muslims.

17
  • Under his guidance the Ahmadiyya Community
    progressed at a remarkable speed in the
    propagation of Islam throughout the world
    building and running schools, colleges,
    hospitals, preaching centres, mosques,
    translating and publishing of Holy Quran.

The Legacy of His Holiness Khalifatul Masih Rabia
ra
  • Allah says in the Holy Quran, "He indeed prospers
    who purifies it" 9110. As such purification of
    soul is regarded the foremost guiding principle
    for the followers of Allah's prophets. Hazrat
    Khalifatul Masih IV has encouraged the Jamaat to
    achieve this end in various ways.
  • In the era of the 4th Caliph, the Jamaat has come
    to exercise considerable influence winning more
    and more adherents, among them eminent
    personalities and tribal kings. In 1987, two such
    kings from Nigeria made the covenant and joined
    Jamaat. Thus the Promised Messiah's revelation,
    "Kings will seek blessings from thy clothes"
    found fulfillment once again. Huzur bestowed
    sacred relics of the Promised Messiah on these
    two kings when they presented themselves during
    the annual Ahmadiyya Conference London in 1987.
  • Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad r.a. was a person of
    intelligence, love, humour and above all a
    spiritual leader of excellence. His sacrafices
    for Ahmadiyyat and Humanity will forever be
    remembered.

    and blessings of Allah be upon him) reach the
    corners of the earth, we shall keep exerting till
    the last moments of our lives, and for the
    accomplishments of this cause and duty, will
    always keep of our lives dedicated to Allah and
    His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be
    upon him), and will offer every sacrifice, no
    matter how big is that, to raise the flag of
    Islam higher, in every country of the world, till
    the last day of the earth. We also affirm that we
    shall strive till the last breath to safeguard
    the institution of Khilafat and its stability and
    shall direct our progeny after progeny, to always
    be bonded with Khilafat and be given the
    blessings of it, so that Khilafat-e- Ahmadiyya
    continues to go on safe and sound and the
    propagation of Islam may go on through Ahmadiyyat
    till the Day of Judgment and the flag of the Holy

    Allah shall will. He will bring about its end and
    follow it with Khilafat on the precepts of
    prophethood for as long as He shall will and then
    bring about its end. A tyrannical monarchy will
    then follow and will remain as long as Allah
    shall will and then come to an end. There will
    follow thereafter monarchial despotism to last as
    long as Allah shall will and come to an end upon
    His decree. There will then emerge Khilafat on
    precept of Prophethood." The Holy Prophet said no
    more (Masnad Ahmad)
