The spiritual leader of Ahmedis was a big ally of British and he served them well in result got rewarded by subcontinent rulers. Even where I live we have a family which is included in elite of the city some family members are declared Muslims others are Ahmedis. They got land free of cast as reward of their services to British rulers, even the third generation is also rich.
Dear Fact is something that you back with proofs, A statement of yours doesnt become FACT because you are saying that:
The truth is that the family of Ahmad(as) did not gain anything from the British.
The British took away 70 villages which belonged to their family and the father of Ahmad(as) had to fight in court for these but nothing was restored. No one has a right to raise any allegation that the British were helping Ahmad(as) or his family.
The character of Ahmad(as) itself refutes this allegation.Would an agent ever go against his masters and refute their ideologies and break the foundation of their religion? Common sense and logic tells us that it is not possible for Ahmad(as) to be an agent of the British since he destroyed their religion through arguments and left the Christians of the country speechless. Ahmad(as) spent his entire life defending Islam and even
invited the queen to Islam. He challenged the people who supported Christianity and left them all speechless and this acknowledged by many scholars of the that time.
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) states:
” This Government safeguards the lives and the properties of the Muslims and provides them with security against the attack of every wrongdoer… I have not embarked upon this enterprise out of any fear of Government or in the hope of any reward from it. All I have done is in accordance with the divine command and the command of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.”(
Nurul Haq, Part I, p.30)
And:
“I do not flatter the Government as some ignorant ones imagine because I desire a return from the Government. On the contrary, I consider it just and a duty on account of my faith to express gratitude to the Government.” (
Tableegh Risalat, Vol. X, p.123)
Here are some statements from the scholars of the non Ahmadi Muslims themselves, praising the British:
Maulvi Muhammad Hussain Of Batala, who was a leader of the Ahle Hadees and a opponent of Ahmadas stated:
“It is not permissible for Muslim subjects to fight, or to help with men and money those who fight, against a government, whether Christian, or Jewish, or of some other faith, under whom the Muslims carry out their religious duties and obligations freely. For the Muslims of India it is forbidden to oppose or rebel against the British Government.”
(Ishaatus Sunnah, Vol. VI, No.
10)
He also stated:
“Brethren, this is not the time of the sword; at this time it has become necessary to use the pen in place of the sword.”
(Ishaatus Sunnah, Vol. VI, No.
12)
Syed Ali-al-Hariri who was a well known Shia Mujtahid, stated:
“We take pride in being subject to a Government under which justice and religious freedom are the law, the equal of which is not to be found in any other government of the world. Therefore, I declare that in return for this beneficence every Shia should be grateful to the British Government with a sincere heart and appreciate its beneficence.” (Mauiza Tahreef Quran,April 1923)
Hazrat Syed Sahib Barelvi declared:
“Our true purpose is the propagation of the Unity of God and the revival of the practice of the Chiefs of the Prophets, and that we carry out without hindrance in this country. Then why should we fight the British Government and shed the blood of both sides contrary to the principles of our religion.” (
Biography of Hazrat Syed Ahmed by Maulana Muhammad Jaafar Thanesar)
An Nadwah, a famous paper of the Nadwatul Ulama wrote:
The true purpose of this institute of learning is to produce clear-minded divines and it is the duty of such divines that they should be familiar with the blessings of the Government and should propagate loyalty to the Government in the country. (
An-Nadwah, Vol. V, July 1908)
It also stated:
One day was observed as a holiday in celebration of the fifty years’ Jubilee of the British Government and a telegram of felicitations was dispatched on behalf of the Nadwah to His Excellency the Governor-General. (
An-Nadwah, November, 1908)
