Part 18 of a Review of The Pakistani Government’s ‘White Paper’: Qadiyaniyyat - A grave threat to Islam

In 1984 the Islamic government of Pakistan set aside all Islamic injunctions and took upon itself the burden of depriving the Ahmadi Muslims of many basic human rights including religious social freedoms. In an attempt to justify this action, the government of Pakistan published a so-called White Paper under the title ‘Qadiyaniyyat - Islam kay liya Sangin Khatrah’ (Qadiyaniyyat - A Grave Threat to Islam).

Although there was nothing new in this so-called White Paper and the Jama’at literature already included detailed answers to all the issues which were raised, nevertheless Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, Khalifatul-Masih IV, the then Imam of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, answered these allegations in a series of Friday sermons. These sermons (in Urdu) were published by the London Mosque in 1985 and the English translation is now being published.

Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, Khalifatul-Masih IV(rta) delivered this sermon on May 31, 1985 at the Fazl Mosque London. This is the final Friday sermon in the series. In this sermon, Huzoor(rta) has warned the Pakistani government and its people about the serious consequences of opposing the Promised Messiah(as) and his Community. In this respect Huzoor(rta) cites some recent events which constitutes a warning and also narrates some warnings of the Promised Messiah(as).
