In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Jesus (alaihi salam) is quoted in Bible as saying: "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor" (Mark 6:4)
This seems to be a general trend with most if not all prophets of Allah. Especially the last and final prophet, Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa salam), who was bitterly persecuted by some of his own relatives, like his uncle Abu Lahab, and his own community, the people of Makka. His (sallallahu alaihi wa salam) enemies persecuted and boycotted him that he had to undertake an exodus with most of his companions to another city, Madinah.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad sounds an awful lot like Bahaullah, except the fact that he kept his teachings centered within the Islamic foundation and fundamentals, whereas Bahaullah branched off and started a whole new religion...Why not follow him instead of Bahaullah? Why does one hold the key to the truth at the expense of the other? Are some led by Satan or do they all hold some truth within their cause?
This is entirely incorrect. Mirza Qadiani, like the so called "Bahaullah" (Mirza Hussein Ali) was a liar and false prophet. He went against many of the most fundamental and foundational teachings of Islam. For example, he claimed to be a prophet and divinely appointed messenger of Allah, even though our master Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa salam) said
La Nabiyya Ba'dee which means "there is no prophet after me". Allah calls Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa salam)
Khatam an Nabiyeen in the Holy Qur'an, an expression which means he is the last of the prophets. The second fundamental teaching of Islam which Mirza Qadiani denied was the second coming of Jesus (alaihi salam). Instead Mirza argued that Jesus (alaihi salam) is dead and buried, so he could justify claiming to be the Promised Messiah.
Qadianism, like Baha'ism, is a completely separate and parallel religion which has nothing to do with Islam. Qadianis have replaced many Islamic concepts and symbols with completely foreign ones. For example, Qadianis pay 10% "Chanda" to their Jama'at (organization), whereas Muslims pay Zakat instead, Qadianis hold annual conventions known as "Jalsa Salana", whereas Muslims go for Hajj, a pilgrimage to Makka, Qadianis consider Qadian and Rabwah to be holy cities, while this honor is reserved for Makka and Madinah by Muslims, Qadianis consider Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as their prophet, whereas Muslims only recognize one prophet for their ummah, namely Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa salam), and the list goes on. Qadianis have even replaced the Jannatul Baqi cemetery in Madinah with their own cemetery known as "Beheshti Maqbara".
Therefore, there is no real difference between Qadianis and Baha'is. Both have deviated from Islam by following their respective false prophets.
