Ibrahimi and Menz comments and would like to clarify that members of Ahmadiyya community totally agree that the holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is the Khatimun-Nabiyeen. They however believe that advent of a non-law bearing and subordinate Prophet (to Prophet Muhammad, sas) is not barred. The non-Ahmadiyya Muslims too believe in the re-advent of Issa ibn Mariyam, who happens to be a non-law bearing Prophet. So where is the problem? The question is that of identifying the person. Will the re-advent of Issa be in person (bodily coming from the Heaven)? Why not discuss the issue, rather trying to brow-beat the community into submission. I am totally in agreement with brother Salaam that no one has the right to define others' faith. It is for Allah to judge. I refer to the comments of H.

That has nothing to do with our responsibilities as Muslims. Secondly, I don't believe I have control over the day of judgement, so it's not for me to decide who's a Muslim and who is not. I either agree with someone or not but I will in no way allow arrogance to tell me who is or isn't what they profess. First, what does it matter what they believe?

Do you realise that they take their founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, as a Prophet and a Messiah, which contradicts Islam?
