JAMMU, July 29: Ahmadiyya Muslim Community India has strongly denounced the stance of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, which has backed the decision of the Andhra Pradesh Waqf Board that declared the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community as “Non-Muslim”.
“The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community India strongly denounces the stance of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, considering it divisive and against the principle of inter-religious harmony,” said a handout issued today by Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at India.
The handout mentioned that Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has always proclaimed with utmost sincerity and conviction that it pronounce the Islamic creed “La Ilaha Ilallah Muhammadur Rasulullah,” meaning, “There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammadsaw is the messenger of Allah”.
“The Community also believes that Prophet Muhammadsaw is Khatamun Nabiyyeen (the seal of the Prophets) and that the Holy Quran is the final law. We completely adhere to the Five Pillars of Islam and believe in the Six Articles of Faith. After this, no one has the right to declare Ahmadi Muslims as non-Muslims,” the handout read, adding, it should be remembered that various Indian High Courts have upheld the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s right to be recognized as an Islamic sect.
“We urge all religious organizations and leaders to act responsibly and refrain from making statements that could potentially harm social cohesion and religious harmony. Instead, we should promote inter-religious harmony and foster an environment of mutual respect and understanding, as this is what Islam stands for,” asserted Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at India.
