Ahmadis are generally peaceful people who have faced severe persecution in Muslim countries. Their movement is banned or discriminated against in several countries, and mainstream Muslim scholars consider their beliefs heretical. Even Al-Azhar considers Ahmadis non-Muslims. Having said that, Ahmadiyya emerged partly through its founder’s fierce opposition to Christianity. It is an anti-Christian religion by default. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad engaged in debates with Christians and challenged a belief widely held among Muslims: that Muhammad is dead while Jesus remains alive. His solution? Rewrite the story of Jesus. According to Ahmadiyya teachings, Jesus did not die on the cross. He merely fell unconscious, survived the crucifixion, recovered, and eventually traveled to Kashmir, where he supposedly died. To defend this extraordinary theory, Ahmadis selectively reinterpret biblical passages, twist historical evidence, and make enormous leaps of logic. No serious historian of early Christianity would accept the claim that the apostles or Church Fathers taught that Jesus survived the crucifixion, secretly recovered from his wounds, and eventually died in Kashmir. There is no credible historical evidence for this extraordinary story. And it gets even stranger. Ahmadis also believe that Buddha was a prophet of God and that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad himself was the promised Messiah. Read Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s writings, especially those written in Arabic, and you will find passages that strike me as cheap imitations of the Quran, attempting to reproduce its language, rhythm, and supposed divine authority. There are also controversial historical accounts concerning Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s health, including reports of urinary problems and also his use of opium-based substances. My conclusion? Ahmadiyya is a religious movement built on extraordinary claims, historical distortions, and a founder whose supposed divine revelations deserve serious scrutiny. In short: Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is a false prophet. I defend Ahmadis’ right to believe and practice their religion without persecution. But defending their religious freedom does not mean accepting their theology. Religious freedom is a right. Religious claims are to be verified and challenged.
