Welcome to Ahmadi Answers

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the only Islamic organization to believe that the long-awaited Messiah has come in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) (1835-1908) of Qadian. Ahmad(as) claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus(as) of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad(saw). We believe that according to the Qur’an and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad(saw) it is clear that the latter day messiah would be an imam from amongst the Muslims. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believes that God sent Ahmad(as), like Jesus(as), to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed and re-institute morality, justice and peace. Ahmad(as)’s advent has brought about an unprecedented era of Islamic revival. He divested Islam of fanatical beliefs and practices by vigorously championing Islam’s true and essential teachings.

Like An Octopus?



There is another allegation which comes from “Elucidation of Objectives” claiming Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) said God is an octopus and has arms God forbid. This is totally false. Lets read it in context:

In order to pictorially visualize the implications of the foregoing statement, let us imagine that the Supreme Sustainer of the universe is indeed the Supreme Being who has an infinite number of hands and feet; their number is uncountable, and their breadth and width limitless. Like an ‘octopus’, as it were, the Supreme Being has tentacles reaching out to all corners of the universe and functioning as its gravitational pull. In deed, these are the self same organs also known as the universe. Whenever the sustainer of the universe wills a movement in part or in full, these so called organs are also bound to move accordingly, indeed he carries out all his commands and intentions through these organs, without using any other means. In short, this is only a simple EXAMPLE of the great spiritual truth about which is asserted that each part of the universe is subject to the divine will and like a faithful and humble servant, symbolizes the realization of God’s latent objectives and is busy implementing the divine imperatives in total submission to his will. (Elucidation of Objectives, page 61-62)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this passage when read in context. Anti Ahmadis have sadly removed the word “like”. We see comparisons by Allah Himself in the Qur’an. For example Allah States:



Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is as alustrous niche, wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a glittering star. It is lit from a blessed tree — an olive — neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would well-nigh glow forth even though fire touched it not. Light upon light! Allah guides to His light whomsoever He will. And Allah sets forth parables to men, and Allah knows all things full well.(Chapter 24 Verse 36)
