Admission by the Non-Ahmadis

Non-Ahmadis also observe these changes and have admitted to noticing these. Such changes were so clear and apparent that they were forced to admit that by accepting the Imam of the Age, the Ahmadis have undergone many positive changes. Nevertheless, they have persisted in their own denial. I shall now present some samples of their admission.

‘Allamah Iqbal wrote:

In the Punjab the essentially Muslim type of character has found a powerful expression in the so-called Qadiani-sect. (The Muslim Community — A Sociological Study by Allamah Dr. Mohammad Iqbal. Edited with Introduction, Dr. Muzaffar ‘Abbas, Maktabah-e-‘Aliyah, Urdu Bazar, Lahore, p. 23)

‘Allamah Niaz Fateh Puri wrote about the Promised Messiah(as):

We cannot deny that he certainly rejuvenated Islamic character and established such a community whose life can be called a true reflection of the noble morals of the Holy Prophet(sa). (Mulahazat-e-Niaz Fateh Puri, p. 29, compiled by Muhammad Ajmal Shahid, M.A., published in 1968)

The editor of the newspaper The Statesman of Delhi wrote that in the holy city of Qadian was born an Indian Prophet who impregnated his surroundings with his piety and character. These qualities are reflected in the lives of lakhs of his followers.1 (The Statesman, February 12, 1949, Dr. Shanker Das Mehra, M.B.B.S; Delhi. pp. 27–28. From Ahmadiyyah Movement in India by Barakat Rajeki, B.A. published by Mirza Wasim Ahmad, 5th edition 1958. p. 2)

‘Abdur Rahim Ashraf Azad writes about the revolution created by the Ahmadiyyah Jama‘at:

There are thousands who renounced their families for sake of this new faith. They tolerated worldly losses and offered sacrificed of their wealth and lives. We readily admit that a significant number of the Qadiani people are such who sincerely believe it to be true and present sacrifices of their wealth, life, worldly means and relations. Some of their members welcomed the death penalty in Kabul. Many of them accepted poverty in the far away regions of foreign countries. (Weekly Al-Minber, Lyallpur, March 2, 1952, p. 10)

In spite of all this praise, it is their misfortune that they have not accepted the Promised Messiah(as). All praise be to Allah the Almighty that our faith has been strengthened by their words of admission. May Allah the Almighty further increase our faith and conviction! May we fulfil every condition of the covenant of the bai‘at happily by considering it to be our duty! May Allah the Almighty be pleased with us! Amin!
