After Friday prayers, the worshipers gathered on the highway near Panchagarh Sher-e Bangla Park. Later, when they started protesting, they faced police obstacles.

Muslims claim that no one can claim to be a Muslim by rejecting the last prophet and accepting someone else as a prophet. Ghulam Ahmad is considered a prophet by the Qadiani community, they are infidels. Devoted Muslims cannot accept any Jalsa organized by them in the name of Islam. So they have to announce jalsa ban.

Earlier, on Thursday, Muslims protested by blocking the Panchagarh-Tentulia highway on the same demand. The siege lasted for about five hours. Later, Additional Superintendent of Police Safiqul Islam came and spoke to the protesters and assured them of reconciliation. Later the worshipers withdrew from the protest.

Dr. Panchagarh Modern Sadar Hospital Medical Officer. Rahimul Islam said that 18 men were admitted in this incident and 27 people received first aid and two people were transferred to Rangpur Medical.

Superintendent of Police SM Sirajul Huda said, RAB and BGB are active along with the police to control the situation. The entire administration is vocal that no loss of life should occur. At night, district administration and police administration along with senior authorities went to the annual jalsa and the jalsa was stopped. This issue is being promoted by miking.

Which Islamic group consider them to be Muslim?

I am not sure if any sect in India calls Ahmadiyyas as non Muslims

 

[Jugger]

In India ahmaddiyas can call themselves muslims, build mosques and practice their religion freely unlike Pakistan and now even Bangladesh.

They are not Muslim as they don’t consider prophet Muhammad as the last prophet. Plus their last prophet has created so many doctrines which goes against Islam. It’s same for the Christian’s who deny jehovah witness or Mormons as Christian’s.

Bro India is crawling with sufis...they're literally arch enemies of qadianis

We have a lot of sects here, some sects that still follow some practices of their ancestors... so Ahmadiyyas with "different" beliefs or practices are not outliers at all. Maybe, that's why they are not considered as non-Muslims.

If you are not sure then go research a little.

UK and Germany play host to a vast number of Ahmadis and they struggle to even convince non-muslims to label them as Muslims while claiming to follow a prophet other than prophet of Islam.

Hi, can you pls explain some their doctrines that goes against Islam or qu'ran pls.

Then I can do further reading?

Also since when did bdesh host these ppls, their religion or last prophet came from punjab. They mainly have their roots in punjab.

Who tf cares what donkeys do in UK and Germany?
As per India, Ahmadiyya is one more sect of Islam.

Ahmadiyyas find place as Islam sect in census

With a large section of Muslim clerics deeming the community to be heretics, successive governments in previous years had refrained from including them as a sect of Islam in the census report.

I have never heard of any Christians denying JW and LDS (Mormons) are Christians. Certainly I have never heard of any Christians attacking Mormons or JW for calling themselves Christians.

Why Sunni Muslims should care about who is a true Muslim and who is not? If someone thinks in a different way and prays a different way, it is his personal problem. Allah is there to watch over it. But, Sunni Muslims think they are the arbiter of Islam.

Why should Sunni Muslims start arguing with others? Only God knows who is right and who is not.

Do the Shias strictly follow the main Sunni theme? Have not they also accepted another person as their Imam?

Sunni Muslims should stop worrying about others not entering their Paradise. It is none of their business.

Ahmadis follow Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. He claimed to be the awaited returned messiah and the mahdi at the same time.

The above violated the basic tenet of Islam:

1. prophets last sermon stated there will be no prophet after him and the religion is complete and ask the people to spread the message
2. Prophet warned of imposter prophets

He further claimed that Jesus escaped death and came to Punjab and lived their prior to death.

But in Islam and Christianity it’s believed Jesus was taken to heaven alive.

I won’t be surprised if British was behind this creation of new religion and divide and possibly converting the Muslims. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a big supporter of British and asked Muslims to follow the order of British.

I have never heard of any Christians denying JW and LDS (Mormons) are Christians. Certainly I have never heard of any Christians attacking Mormons or JW for calling themselves Christians.

Evangelical Christian’s mostly claim that JW and Mormons are not Christian’s.

No, Jehovah’s Witnesses are not Christian
