Demand to revoke recognition of Qadianis as part of Islam

Various programs were announced at the “International Khatm-e-Nubuwwat Conference” demanding that the Qadiani (Ahmadiyya) community be officially recognized as a non-Muslim minority. Organizers warned that if the demand is not met, stricter programs would follow in the future.On Saturday, November 15, at the historic Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka, Maulana Mohiuddin Rabbani, Secretary of the Combined Khatm-e-Nubuwwat Council, announced a detailed action plan extending until December next year. He stated that if the demand is not implemented within this period, progressively stricter programs would be launched.

Three-Phase Program to Demand Qadianis Be Declared Non-Muslim

  1. Mass Signature Campaign
    By April 30, signatures will be collected nationwide with the participation of religious scholars and the general public.

  2. Submission of Memoranda
    During May and June, memoranda will be submitted to the District Commissioners (DCs) in all districts.

  3. Divisional Conferences
    From July to November, divisional Khatm-e-Nubuwwat conferences will be held sequentially across all divisions of the country.

Maulana Rabbani stated that even after these peaceful programs, if the government fails to declare the Qadiani community as a non-Muslim minority, a National Ulema Conference involving top representative scholars will be convened in December 2026, where stricter measures will be announced.


Six-Point Declaration from the Conference

At the conference, top scholars from home and abroad unanimously adopted a six-point declaration to protect the Islamic belief of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat and demand that Qadianis be recognized as a non-Muslim minority. The declaration was read by Maulana Mahfuzul Haque of the Khatm-e-Nubuwwat Council.

The declaration states that Qadianis, by rejecting the belief in Khatm-e-Nubuwwat, are considered outside Islam by the consensus of the Muslim Ummah. Therefore, to protect the religious identity of the majority Muslim population and maintain communal harmony, they must be officially recognized as a non-Muslim minority.

Six Points of the Declaration

  1. Declaration as Non-Muslim
    The Qadiani community, known as the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, must be officially declared non-Muslim. They cannot use the name “Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat” and will instead be identified as the “Qadiani community.”

  2. Prohibition on Islamic Terminology
    Qadianis cannot describe their faith as Islam and cannot use Islamic terms such as Kalima, Namaz, Roza, Zakat, Azan, Eid, or Qurbani.

  3. Places of Worship and Symbols
    They cannot call their places of worship mosques; these will be referred to as “Qadiani Worship Centers”. They also cannot use Islamic honorifics like Sahabi or Ummul Momineen.

  4. Marriage Restrictions
    Marriages between Muslims and Qadianis are completely prohibited in Islam. Legal action will be taken if marriages are conducted by concealing identity.

  5. Funerals and Inheritance
    Qadianis cannot have Islamic funeral rites performed, nor can their dead be buried in Muslim graveyards. Inheritance laws between Muslims and Qadianis will not apply.

  6. Restriction on Propagation
    Qadianis cannot publish or distribute books, leaflets, or translations of the Quran under the pretext of Islamic propagation.

The declaration emphasizes that these measures must be implemented through executive orders to protect the religious identity of the majority Muslim population, safeguard the rights of the Qadiani minority, and maintain peace and communal harmony.

It also cites examples where Pakistan and other Muslim countries, as well as international Islamic organizations, have declared the Qadiani belief as anti-Islamic.

The conference urged Muslims nationwide to avoid engaging in Muslim practices at Qadiani worship centers, refrain from marriage alliances, refrain from greeting with Salam, and boycott their products.

The leaders stated that Khatm-e-Nubuwwat is the foundation of faith, and their movement will continue through peaceful and constitutional means, without showing hostility or violence toward any community.
