Who are Qadiyanis

The followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian are Qadiani whether they belong to the
Qadiani jamaat of Rabwah or the Lahori jamaat of Qadianis. But they call themselves
"Ahmadi" pleading that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad befits the verse "Asmahu Ahmad" in the
holy Quran whereas according to the muslims this quranic verse relates to the holy
prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Taking undue advantage of the word, Ahmad in his name Mirza Ghulam Ahmad twisted
the meaning of the above verse in his favour and claimed prophethood on this basis,
though his name actually means, "slave of Ahmad". According to the Holy Quran both
Ahmad and Muhammad are the holy name of our Prophet (SAW)
Therefore, the application of the said Quranic verse to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian
is a deliberate alteration of the Holy Quran. On this basis calling Qadianis as Ahmadis is
"harram" (forbidden) and unlawful.
