Why was he, and is he still, so important to our Jamaat
In this video we answer the question from one of our viewers who asked about the importance of the Promised Messiah to the World of Islam and as an example use just one of the reforms that he proposed which has started to become accepted.

Sunni Muslims have always vociferously denounced the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmed, because he suggested that it was not an Islamic Jihad to fight the British army when they had control over India.
He made a clear and logical reasoning for his standpoint, but this did not stop the vicious attacks against him.
And now we here the news that a Sunni has been appointed an imam in the British armed forces. When interviewed he claimed that there is no conflict between being a Muslim and serving in the British Army. It follows therefore that there must be many Muslims in the British armed forces whose needs are to be catered for by such an appointment.
In the light of the continual Sunni attacks on the Promised Messiah, we have to wonder how our Sunni brothers can reconcile the appointment of Imam Asim Hafiz with their views.
Will Imam Asim Hafiz also be demonised and denounced?
We read a short extract from the writings of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad most weeks which is written in Urdu to help people who cannot read or write in Urdu, to be able to appreciate his words.
Today we are reading from Malfuzat Volume Eight.
The Promised Messiah explains that there is not limit to the rewards granted by Allah but now these rewards can only be attained by perfectly following the Holy Quran.

I visited Qadian recently and the staff of the Qadian proudly showed me their renovations. It is sad to say that rather than renovate they have destroyed the historic buildings in Qadian. The original building had bare brick which has been plastered over, as raising the mosque obscured the Minara tul Massih from view a “new” marble minaret has been constructed, the cemetery has had original foot-paths replaced by paved ones and of course arches build to glorify the false khilafat.
Allah has caused the destruction of Qadian at the hands of the Qadianis themselves to show that their belief that Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a prophet is false.
Allah proves the teachings of the Holy Quran in many different ways. Hazrat Mirza sahib discusses a number of different ways in which the truth of the Holy Quran is proven. For example, one way is to compare the teachings of the Holy Quran with what we see in nature. We see that nature confirms what the Holy Quran says.
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (a.s.) explains that the Unity of Godhead and the ‘messengership’ of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s) are inseparable. Prophets of Allah have it in their nature to worry about the spiritual nourishment of people just like it is in a mother’s nature to provide physical nourishment for a child.
