WHAT A CONFUSED STATEMENTS!! Maha Dabbous wrote:- Now concerning prayers behind the non-Ahmadi Muslims, the Promised Messiah himself has asked his followers not to pray behind the non-Ahmadi Imams. The reason for this as explained by him was that these people abuse the Ahmadis and call them kafirs and according to a hadith of the Holy prophet, the person who calls somebody a kafir, becomes himself a kafir. Therefore the Promised Messiah forbade his followers to pray behind those Imams because, by declaring Ahmadis to be kafirs, these Imams themselves became kafirs, and a Muslim must not pray behind a kafir. As for the non-Ahmadis who do not declare the Ahmadis as kafirs, it is still not right for an Ahmadi to pray behind them. The reason for this is that the non- Ahmadis have rejected the truth of the Promised Messiah and by doing this they have implied that they regard him as a liar, whether they declare it openly or keep it quiet in their hearts. Even if a non- Ahmadi declares that Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a good man but does not take the pledge at his hand, this also implies that he is not truthful in his declaration, because if he really thinks that he was truly good then he would never think that he was a liar and he would not hesitate to take the pledge on his hand. Also by this rejection the non-Ahmadis have disobeyed the orders of Allah and His Holy Messenger, Muhammad - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. They disobeyed Allah because Allah is the One who sent the Promised Messiah to the world with a special mission. To reject somebody sent by Allah is disobedience to Allah who has sent him. So by rejecting the Promised Messiah, the non-Ahmadis disobeyed Allah. They also disobeyed the Holy Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - because he has clearly ordered the Muslims to wait for the advent of the Promised Messiah. He ordered the Muslims that if they recognize him, they must take the pledge at his hand, even if they will have to reach him by crawling on the icy mountains. This is how important it is to take that Pledge and follow him in complete obedience. So if after this, a Muslim rejects to take the pledge of the Promised Messiah, then he becomes disobedient to Allah and His Holy Messenger. Why then should an obedient Ahmadi follow such a person in his prayers? So it is not a matter of the Ahmadis regarding non- Ahmadis as kafirs. It is a matter of implication. When a Muslim follows an Imam in his prayers, he follows him in every move and action. This implies his full obedience to that Imam. Now if the Imam holds beliefs different to that Muslim, it is not correct to follow him in his prayers because this implies that he accepts his beliefs also.
