The Mahdi will appear at the end of time, he will guide the muslims to a victory against the FALSE MESSIAH. Afterwards Jesus the Christ will come to the world again and will rule the world from jerusalem in justice until the judgement day. GOD KNOWS BETTER

Ahmadee's have been tagged as Non-Muslims by all of the Muslim authorities because Mirza Ghulam Ahamd Qadyani declared himself himself as Prophet but his lies are documented, read the article below..\n\nMirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadyani, who arrogated himself to Prophethood, invented this misleading doctrine in India, and called the mobs there to believe in him. Mirza Qadyani gave a false legal opinion that the religious duty of fighting against enemies of Islam had been abrogated and called people to surrender and co-operate with the imperialist British authorities in India. By this method he gained the influential and financial support of the British authorities. Mirza Qadyani strived hard to falsify and destroy Islam. He printed his books "Tasdeeq Brahiyn Ahmediyah", "Triyak-ul-Quloob" etc. and succeeded in misleading many groups in India.\n\nMIRZA GHULAM AHMAD QADIANI-- LIAR, APOSTATE, DUALIST-INFIDEL\nYou have challenged the Ulema of the Ummat for a Mubahala. Remember, such engagements are final touchstones which distinguish between right and wrong, truth and falsehood. You seem to be going in for this Mubahala because you are not sure of the truthfulness of your Sire, even after a lapse of one century. Evidently you and your party members distrust your Patriarch.\n\nPraise be to Allah, the entire Islamic Ummah including myself - the most incompetent man of Ummat - don't have least of the least doubt that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani was a liar. Final, decisive and unanimous is Islamic Ummah in the belief that after Allah's Prophet any claimant to prophethood, is a liar, apostate and dualist-infidel. This is in accordance with th Prophetic words:\n\n"Thirty liars (will appear before the Day of Judgement) and each one of them will claim to be a Prophet of Allah." (Tirmizi)\n\nMirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani is included in this list.\n\nThe statement that "Mirza's marriage was solemnised in the sky!" is one example of Mirza's falsehood. Allah the Exalted, Supreme in Perfection, Eminent in Wisdom, has provided us numerous conclusive proofs of the falsehood of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani--the Musailma of the Punjab. The lies of this liar are as visible as the sun at meridian. In the context of these lies, the arch Liar cannot remain hidden from those whose hearts glow with the light of Faith, however faint. But those eyes which are totally sealed, Allah has been pleased to say about them:\n\n"And the person who shall be blind in this world shall be blind in the hereafter also and will be strayed more from the path".\n\nHow can a blind man tell the truth from the untruth or distinguish the white from the black? Let this one example suffice for Mirza's falsehood.\n\nMARRIAGE WITH MUHAMMADI BEGUM IN THE SKY!\nMirza declared the so-called revelation that he had been married with Muhammadi Begum, a respectable lady, in the sky. He kept on harping on this revelation of marriage from 1888 to 1907. Ultimately he wrote these words in his Appendix to Anjam e Atham on page 54.\n\n"Remember, if the second part of this predication does not come true (i.e. Muhammadi Begum is not married to Mirza after her widowhood), I should be deemed more wicked than any wicked man. O idiots! this is not a human's pretension. This is no business of any depraved impostor. Consider this to be God's true promise, definitely the same God Almighty Whose words are never withdrawn; the same Glorious Nourisher Whose intentions nobody can stop".\n\nCertainly we agree and do believe that Allah's words are His Will. His promises are true, unbreakable and uncontradictary, unflinching and unswerving. Nobody can stop His intents.\n\nMIRZA DID NOT EVEN SEEN THE SHADOW OF HIS ILLUSIVE BRIDE\nBut what happened to the second part of Mirza's prediction? Far from marriage, Mirza did not see even the shadow of his illusive bride, Muhammadi Begum. Is the falsehood of foul and fraudulent Mirza

only shiites believe in the 12 imams. shiites make up a small minority of muslims. the majority, sunnis, do not believe in this.

Good for you for sharing that...\n\nThe Mufti of Marseille quoted the same verses...\nHe was angered by the muslim community for demonstrating against the Cartoons \n\nHe said that especially Western Muslims, have benefited greatly from Free Speehc and Free Press...\n\nHe said that those manifestations where the proof that Muslims were week in their faith because they got offended for just a few cartoons of bad tastes. He also says that Criticism helps make one strong and look at himself.\n\nHe also added: That the current problem with Islam in the West and Arab countries is that there are more and more Imam that dont have enough spiritual knowledge of Islam and they are too focused on the political aspect of Islam... Such as the Imam of Danemark that provoked the whole situation...\n\nSo you are right to ask that questions.... But very very very few Muftis and Imams voice the spiritual view of Islam...Mr. Benchek. the Mufti of Marseille is a rare gem (With Balls I might say...).

i didn't even know about him until i read your question. i read a bunch of stuff about him and i must say, i feel kinda sorry that people won't leave him alone while he meditates. when asked why he left his spot under the tree, he said "there is no peace here". anyway, i don't blindly believe in miracles. but i will be following this story from now on. i just hope he gets some peace and quiet so he can figure out what he needs to. i'm sure all this hoopla isn't what he is trying to accomplish. hopefully he can figure out a way to get his messege across to people without all the usual crap that springs up whenever a prophet appears somewhere. and i hope noone tries to hurt him. it would bother me very much if he became another victim of ignorant violence.

Mohamad didnt create 2 beliefs, after his death his followers separated in to different groups and the majority was Shia or Sunni. Like in christianity how there are Babtists, Eastern Orthodox, Catholic.. u get the picture.

He probably considers himself a descendant of Ali since he is the head of a theocratic Islamic state.  As such, what he says goes.  I believe it's a major difference between Shi'i and Sunni Islam, with the Sunni being less apt to allow their political leaders to determine their mode of expressing their faith.  Islam is a religion of orthopraxy and not orthodoxy.  In such religions, one places more weight on what they do everyday than they do in other religions.  Leaders are expected to perscribe what rules of behavior are to be followed by the people of their countries.

1. He is the one God, Who has no partner.\n2. Nothing is like Him. He is the Creator, not created, nor a part of His creation.\n3. He is All-Powerful, absolutely Just.\n4. There is no other entity in the entire universe worthy of worship besides Him.\n5. He is First, Last, and Everlasting; He was when nothing was, and will be when nothing else remains.\n6. He is the All-Knowing, and All-Merciful,the Supreme, the Sovereign.\n7. It is only He Who is capable of granting life to anything.\n8. He sent His Messengers (peace be upon them) to guide all of mankind.\n9. He sent Muhammad (pbuh) as the last Prophet and Messenger for all mankind.\n10.

There are two groups Ahmadi and Lahori. The Ahmadi's number about 200 million and are one tenth of all Muslims. \n\nSome say that "Ahmedi Muslim are non Muslims in real coz they doesnt believe in last prophet Muhammed sallallaho walaihi wasalam, they doesnnt blieve in Quran holy book of muslims."\n\nBut they do believe in Prophet Muhammad [SAW] as the 'Seal of the Prophets' [the real translation] and that the Qu'ran as the last Book of GOD. They claim that the Messiah will come in the 14th century AH as all other Muslims do. They have a Messiah the only claimant and the rest of the Muslims tend to ignore that now. \n\nAhmadis are pious and try to the best of their abilities to live the life of true Muslims. They make good trusted friends. I have no complaints at all, meeting them or hanging out.

I believe the Antichrist will come from Islam, posing as the Muslim's awaited, Mahdi. I base this on Scripture passages starting from Daniel chapter 9:27...,\n\nRead it. Its speaks of an abominable temple with a pinnacle and the Antichrist making his arrival there.  This abomination sits on a wing of the Jewish (Solomon's) Temple.\n\nCurrently the Muslim Dome of the Rock sits squarely on a wing of the foundations of the destroyed Temple Mount. That sets up a red flag in itself.\n\nI also believe based on current global and Middle East events, this "Mahdi" (antichrist) is alive and well in the middle east, ready at any time to make his debut.

I won't tell what I think because I am Muslim but I will tell you what others think (non-Muslim):\n\n\nENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA confirms: \n“.... A mass of detail in the early sources show that he was an honest and upright man who had gained the respect and loyalty of others who were like-wise honest and upright men." (Vol. 12) \n\nMICHAEL H. HART in his recently published book on ratings of men who contributed towards the benefit and uplifting of mankind writes: \n"My choice of Muhammad (pbuh) to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels."

(THE GENUINE ISLAM, Singapore, Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936) \nHe was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behavior for all times to come. \n\n"HIS NAME IS MUHAMMAD"- May Allah’s peace be upon him (PBUH) \nHe was born in Arabia in the year 570 C.E. (common era), started his mission of preaching the religion of Truth, which is Islam (submission to One God), at the age of forty and departed from this world at the age of sixty-three. \nDuring the short period of 23 years of his prophethood, he changed the complete Arabian peninsula from paganism and idolatry to worship of One God, from tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity and cohesion, from drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety, from lawlessness and anarchy to disciplined living, from utter bankruptcy to the highest standards of moral excellence. Human history has never known such a complete transformation of a people or a place before or since - and IMAGINE all these unbelievable wonders in JUST OVER TWO DECADES. \n\nLAMARTINE, the renowned historian speaking on the essentials of human greatness wonders: "If greatness of purpose, smallness of means and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad (pbuh)?

It all boils down to one thing, and one thing only.  Muhammed, when he was inventing allah and islam, took and corrupted (intentionally or not) a lot of factoids from Judaism and Christianity.  His ONLY defense against his inadequate knowledge of science, astronomy, anatomy, physiology, history, religion (esp Judaism and Christianity), and many OTHER fields of thought was to declare EVERYTHING ELSE as wrong or corrupted.  (nice try, Mo)  \n\nIslam "claims" to be correct and complete, yet denies the divine nature of Jesus.  Islam is at a loss for anything spiritual (resorting instead to lavish physical pleasures and rewards for following allah/Muhammed).  There are so many blatant errors in the koran that it's not worth listing.\n\nChristianity (rightfully) views islam and allah as a false god.

Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said that amongst his Ummah (Community of Followers), there will be 73 sects (branches of religion) and only 1 will be the correct one.\n\nSo, having that cleared up...\nSh'ia or Shi'ites believe that Hazrat Ali (may allah be pleased with him) should have been the last prophet and not Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)\n\nSunnis follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah\n\nSufis are mysticals who are deeply religious and close to nature\n\nAhmadis (i'm not sure if they are considered muslims...but most likely not)...because they believe that there will be another prophet who will come after Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and anyone who believes so is not considered a Muslim.\n\nInshallah, i hope i cleared that up!\n\nSeek the truth, (God Wiling), you will find it!
