Praising the British Was Unrelated to Ahmadiyyat

The fact is that Ahmadiyya Jama‘at came into being with the advent of the Promised Messiah and those whom he was exonerating belonged to the family who predates Ahmadiyya Jama‘at and all the services of them were rendered to the British long before Ahmadiyya Jama‘at was initiated and they had nothing to do with Ahmadiyya Jama‘at. Interestingly enough, this so-called White Paper by the Government of Pakistan presents this as an ‘argument’ against the Promised Messiah (as) that his nearest relatives were his strong adversaries. Therefore, it is clear that the family which has been called ‘khud kashta pauda’ were in reality Ahl-e-Sunnah (or Sunnis according to the present day terminology)1. Hence the inescapable conclusion from the foregoing should have been that:

The family of the Promised Messiah, with whom he had severed all ties, and who had turned against him on account of Ahamdiyyat, and who consisted of persons of Sunni persuasion, was ‘khud kashta pauda of the British’. And if they were, then so be it; we are least bothered by it. What has the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at got to do with that family?
