i have heard from ahmadis/qadianis/mirzais that they are the fastest growing sect in the world.

i doubt this very seriously b/c i myself know of many ahmadis who quit ahmadiyyat.

yet i dont know of a single non-ahmadi who became ahmadi personally.

ofcourse, such a person, is a murtid, and command is to kill that person.

i need to know the total population of this sect due to some research i am doing. can anyone point me to the right direction? even the successive qadiani khalifas give different numbers.

i know ahmadis r preaching furiously and places like africa and israel. and some people become ahmadis thinking they've become Muslim. (i believe this to be treacherous just for the record).

the point is, ahmadis have a scrupulous record keeping system (the bait thing) so it should be very easy for the ahmadi khalifa office to count total numbers. why rnt these numbers ever released by the way?

also, ive heard lahori jamat completely flopped and only few hundred members globally. but i dont know for sure. hmmm.

"yet i dont know of a single non-ahmadi who became ahmadi personally.

I find this statement very offensive.
You are saying that there is a command' to kill people who convert and become Ahmadi ?? I am sure Islam is not that barbaric - please provide proof..

Im Muslim .....

dont know whats qadiani n ahmadi

they once claimed 220 million in Qadianistan, don't know where that is on the map...

then they claimed only 200million

then 70 million

and now in the tens of million, so yeah their claims might be right NOW.

qadianistan is 2 blocs down from ummah's khilafah

regardless of what different ahmedi souces say their numbers are, the question amidst a lot of opinion was sources to get numbers, so providing sources may be helpful to the original poster. regardless of how crass the approach may have been.

Waisey ju hamrey peeron faqeeron waley firqey hain kiya woh Ahmedion si kisi trha kam hain??? I mean Akhri nabi Muhammad saliala wa alihey wasalm ko manty hain magar peer ki hasiyat hindion ke devta jaisi (paon chona sajda tak kerna peer ko hi nahi peer ke aba o ajdad ki qabar ko bhi. How they are different from Qadianis
PS: Kisi ne video section main Makhdoodm Ameen faheem ki videos bhi post ki thin jahan awam sajda ker rahy thy os ko

Questioner_ ... were u not the one who said u wanted to marry an ahmadi guy?

I do not know honestly what ure intentions are when u bring the topics of Ahmadis here.. it'd be nice if you ask questions which bothers u ... instead of coming up with these kind of topics.

btw, do u know what the population of Muslims were after 100 years of Prophet Muhammad PBUH

also, is it ok for christians or jews or hindus for that matter to 'kill' anyone who leaves their religion and embrace Islam ?

Let's please correct the facts. Some years ago, someone who was qadiani proposed for me and my sister (they were two brothers). We had been friends but it was news to us that they are ahmadis. At that time i did not know who ahmadis are much. Thus i had done some research on who they are cause i did not know much, bas suna hua tha un ke baray mayn. For that i had also sent PM's to some people who seemed ahmadi on gupshup. In meanwhile those 2 brothers and us 2 sisters got to know each other better and hamari baat aik tarha se pakki bhi ho gai thi. But obviously after finding the truth (and it was sad because they had hidden and lied about LOT of things about their true beliefs from us!) we were appalled and said NO WAY. That was a story done and over with time ago. My sister is already married now to someone else and I am also engaged to be married later this year
I am still surprised those people had the guts to approach us! And lie to us too... I still don't know why ahmadis don't openly tell people their true beliefs. Itna chupatay kyu hen.
I am doing some academic research on deviant sects of Islam (I am a Religious Studies student), and therefore these questions
want more details?

Muslims don't take bait so its not possible to count Muslim population. Ahmadis take bait, and they REGISTER all members. So it's very possible to find out total ahmadi population. they maintain scrupulous records as i said.

it may sound harsh to you but we are Muslims and we need to Obey Allah's Orders. The punishment for a Murtid in Islam is Death. No less.

For theft it is cutting of hands.
For murder it is murder.

And we don't need to compare with other religions.


waleed, try google, it will give you lots of information. i have also gained lot of info. their official website is alislam.org. basically they r a sect of people who claim to be Muslim but do not believe in finality of Prophethood like other Muslims. They have their own last Prophet (a person named Mirza Ghulam who was born in Qadian, India more than 100 years ago). Qadianis say he was just a "reformer prophet" and did not bring new "shariah" - Islamic rule of law. But if you read his writings (which qadianis try to keep revising and releasing updated editions ommitting the inflammatory portions), he claims he was Nauzubillah higher in rank even than Hazrat Mohammad (saw) Nauzubillah. Other places he claims to be son of God. And Krishna and what not. He also made many "prophecies" majority of which turned out to be false. Qadianis will never openly tell you the complete details about what Mirza has actually claimed and said because if people find out they will openly reject them. Therefore to find out truth about Qadiani/Mirza you have to do a lot of independent research.
Basically, other Muslims consider ahmadis to be kafir due to such beliefs of theirs about finality of Prophethood.


goodnews - are you serious? i dont have much exposure to the peers. but that is also next on my research. i am starting with qadianis and ismailis. i know people hold peers in high regard but sajda is ummmm not good. basically giving TOO much respect to any person and obeying his orders blindly is shirk.

X2, pray tell why the approach is crass? do i not have the right to express my views how i feel? I believe i was very polite.
and yes thanks, sources are what i needed and am still hoping to get.

Auss indian -
if you want proof of saza for Murtid in Islam, please open thread in religion section. i am sure many will provide you exact quotations.
please read my reply to Popat above. as i said, any Muslim who becomes an ahmadi is a Murtid and command is to kill that person.


cricket
exactly my point. i have done research on the net to find out the numbers. but this is exactly the confusion im facing.
