Most public discussions of this so-called ban have explored verses in the Koran and Sayings by the Prophet, neither of which yield decisive results. What has been lost in the mix, however, is an exploration of the evidence found within Islamic law.

Sunnis turn to Ahmadi interpretation of Islam and reform! 

For 100 years Ahmadis have been saying that it is unlawful for a man to say the word divorce three to affect a divorce. Sunni brothers have rejected our interpretation until yesterday when Pakistan's Council for Islamic recommended that the three in one divorce is invalid and anyone and that it be made a criminal offence.

Last year the Pakistani religious court threw out a case of rape which only had DNA evidence to support it. We gave a khutba (Friday Sermon) to show that the court was wrong. Now the Pakistani parliament has passed a law admitting DNA evidence into evidence.

Reform of Divorce Law

خلاصہ خطبہ
  • ہر قوم اپنے مذہب اور ملت ہی کو سیدھا راستہ سمجھتی ہے اور اس میں داخل ہونےکےلئے کہتی ہے ۔
  • اسلام کا زریں اصول کہ حضرت ابرھیمؑ کا مذہب ہی ٹھیک ہے۔
  • یہ صرف اسلام ہی کی وسعت ہے کہ صرف خود کو نہیں منواتا بلکہ تمام نبیوں اور انکی کتابوں پر ایمان لانے کی تعلیم دیتا ہے ۔
  • اسلام کو غالب کرنے والی یہی بات ہے جو یقین دلاتی ہے کہ اسلام آخر کار غالب ہوگا ۔ 
  • لکیر کے فقیر جو اپنی ہی بات منواتے ہیں اور دوسروں کی ماننا نہیں چاہتے۔
  • اسلام نے عقیدہ کی وسعت کے ساتھ ساتھ یہ بھی بتایا کہ سارا انحصار انسان کے یا قوم کے اعمال پر ہے ۔
  • یہی دو باتیں ہیں جو دنیا کو کھا جائیں گی، کوئی مذہب نہیں جو ان دوباتوں میں اسلام کا مقابلہ کر سکے ۔
  • حضرت مسیح موعودؑ کی تعلیم یہ ہے کہ ہم تمام راستبازوں کی یکساں عزت کریں ۔
  • ہر فرقہ دوسرے کو برا کہتا ہے ۔افراط اور تفریط کے بالمقابل سیدھا راستہ ہمیں حضرت مسیح موعودؑ نے بتایا کہ کسی کو برا نہ کہو اور تمام بزرگانِ  دین کی یکساں عزت کرو۔
  • غر ض حضرت مسیح موعودؑ نے تمام آئمہ دین اور راستبازوں کی عظمت ہمیں سکھائی ۔
  • ہمارا قصور یہی ہے کہ تیرہ صدیوں کے مجددین کو سب مانتے ہیں اور چودھویں صدی کے مجدد کو بھی ساتھ ہی مانتے ہیں ۔
  • مجددین کا سسلسلہ اگر نہیں ٹوٹا تو چودھویں صدی کا مجدد کہاں ہے؟
  • حقہ تو خدا کرے کہ بند ہوجائے اور پانی خدا کا دیا ہوا بہت ہے ۔وہ بند نہیں ہوسکتا۔
  • حضرت مرزا غلامِ احمد ؒ نے اتباع کتاب وسنت کے سوا کوئی تعلیم نہیں دی ۔
  • اسلام کا جوش اگر حضرت مرزا صاحبؒ نے نہیں دیا تو یہ چنگاری کہاں سے آئی ۔
  • اگر حضرت مرزا صاحبؒ خدا کی طرف سے ہیں تو تم خدا کے فعل کی تحقیر کرتے ہو۔
  • اشاعت اسلام کے کام میں دوسرے مسلمان کیوں ناکام ہوتے ہیں ؟
  • مجدد کا آنا صداقت ہے ،مسیح موعودؑ نے بیڑا اٹھایا ہے اسکے متعلق قرآن کا وعدہ ہے لیظھر ہ علی الدین کلہ ۔
  • ہم نہ کسی کو برُ ا کہتے ہیں نہ برا سننے چاہتے ہیں ۔
  • ہم اس کے قائل نہیں کہ ہمارے سامنے حضرت ابوبکرؓ کو برا کہا جائے تو ہم سن کر جواب نہ دیں ایسا ہی حضرت مرزا صاحبؒ کو برا بھلا کہنے پر ہم خاموش نہیں رہ سکتے ۔ہم اپنا فرض سمجھتے ہیں کہ جو کوئی انکو برا کہے اسکو جواب دینےکےلئے کھڑے ہوجائیں۔
  • اگر حضرت مرزا صاحبؒ کا نام کسی مجلس میں آجائے تو سننے والوں کے چہروں پر نشان نظر آنے لگتے ہیں ۔
  • اولیاء اللہ کےالہامات کو امت محمدیہ ؐ کےلئے باعث فخر سمجھا جاتا ہے لیکن حضرت مرزا صاحبؒ کے نام کے ساتھ الہام کا ذکر آئے تو اسے برا جانتے ہیں۔
  • ولایت سے دوست کا خط کہ اشاعتِ اسلام کےلئے حضرتِ    مرزا صاحبؒ کا نام لینا ضروری ہے اور اسکے بغیر کام چل نہیں سکتا۔
  • میرید کے خواب گوارا ہیں تو مرشد کے کیوں نہیں ؟
  • حضرت مولانا نورالدینؒ کا ارشاد کہ ولایت میں تبلیغ کسطرح کی جائے۔
  • جو ذرائع اصولِ اسلام کے منوانے کےلئے اختیار کرنے پڑتے ہیں ان میں سے ایک اس زمانہ کے مجدد یعنی حضرت مسیح موعودؑ کا وجود بھی ہے کیونکہ حضرت صاحبؒ  کا وجود صداقت اسلامی کی ایک دلیل ہے 
  •  خوب یاد رکھو کہ ہم آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے بعد کسی نبی کے آنے کے قائل نہیں ہیں۔
  • مامورِ الٰہی یعنی حضرت مسیح موعودؑ کی مخالفت مت کرو ۔جو لوگ حضرت مسیح موعودؑ کو چھوڑتے ہیں وہ کتاب و سنت سے دوری اختیار کرتے ہیں ۔

نوٹ: خلاصہ کی بنیاد ، معمولی ردو بدل کے ساتھ  حتی الوسع حضرت علامہ محمدعلیؒ  کے الفاظ پرہی رکھی گئی ہے۔
