Greetings to our Muslim RF Membership.
A few days ago, I was struck by an extraordinary claim and couldn't quite believe what I was reading. I'll be quite honest, I'm rarely shocked by anything I read on RF, but this post, which I have been given tacit approval to use, literally jumped off the page at me.
I am genuinely interested in the overall Muslim reaction to the quote below. Please, understand that I don't want to start a conflict over this and so have chosen to make the poll visible so that no one can say the vote was rigged by non-Muslims, adding a vote to a particular answer. That said, though non-Muslims
may comment, as per normal,
I'd prefer that non-Muslims stayed out of this discussion altogether.
Here is the quote that I am talking about:
Bonus questions:
Do potential respondents agree that the Ahmadiyya
(sect represents
) true Islam?
Do potential respondents agree that the Ahmadiyya follow in Muhammad's footsteps?
Do potential respondents agree that the Islam has been reformed into the Ahmadiyya sect?
Any comments would be appreciated aiding non-Muslims to further their understanding of the Muslim community. Thanks in advance for your time, consideration and cooperation.

Peace be on you.

1-Allah never sends Divine reformers by asking existing leaders etc, these reformers are never easily welcomed. Please remember the cases of Hazrat Moses (a.s.), Hazrat Jesus (a.s.) and Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w.). In the start they were called names of all possible types.
2- When they were sent, some believed, most denied in the beginning, but at time passed they were accepted by more and more people.

Ahmadiyya-Muslims believes that The promised reformer promised by Allah and Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) has come as subservient-to-Prophet-Muhammad s.a.w. .......Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. being last-law-bearer-prophet + leader of all Prophets.......Holy Quran being last and perfect Book of shariah.......Khilafat has been re-established.
Holy Quran tells Prophethood is highest spiritual bounty, it is possible to be a subservient-to-Prophet Muhammad by following him (s.a.w.), it is unique to him:
Translation: [4:70]And whoso obeys Allah and this Messenger
of His shall be among those on whom Allah has bestowed His blessings, namely, the Prophets, the Truthful, the Martyrs, and the Righteous. And excellent companions are these.
https://www.alislam.org/quran/tafseer/?page=536®ion=E1&CR=EN,E2&CR=EN,E2
While by following other prophets, subservient-prophethood was not possible:
Translation [57:20] And those who believe in Allah and His Messengers
and they are the Truthful and the Witnesses in the sight of their Lord, they will have their reward and their light. But
as for those who disbelieve and reject Our Signs, these are the inmates of Hell.

And Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. used the words "ESA nabiullah i.e. Jesus Prophet of Allah" in long Hadith of Sahih-Muslim regarding second coming.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ فَإِنِّي آخِرُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَإِنَّ مَسْجِدِي آخِرُ الْمَسَاجِدِ ”
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.): I am the last of the Prophets and my mosque is the last of the mosques.
Ref:Sahih Muslim
Obviously mosques building is not stopped.
It simply means no prophet can come who can abrogate Holy Prophet's teaching.

Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) warned Muslims about time when:
== There will be nothing left of knowledge.
== People will make the ignorant their leaders and will seek guidance from them in matters of religion. These leaders will issue fatwas without any knowledge. They will themselves be misguided and will lead others astray.
Ref: Mishkat, Kitab ul-‘Ilm
== nothing left of Islam except its name.
== and there will be nothing left of the Holy Qur’an except its words [meaning the Holy Qur’an would not be understood and followed].
== the mosques of that age will apparently be full of people, but will be empty of righteousness.
== their ulema will be the worst creatures under the heaven. Discord will rise from them and will come right back to them. [That is, these ulema will be the source of all evils.]
Ref: (al-Baihaqi as quoted in al-Mishkat Kitab-ul ‘Ilm, chapter 3, p. 38 and Kanzul ‘Ummal, chapter 6, p. 43)

The Solution:
[Holy Quran ch62:v3] ‘He it is Who has raised among the Unlettered
people a Messenger from among themselves who recites unto them His verses, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and wisdom, although they had been, before, in manifest misguidance;
[ch62:v4]’And
among others from among them, who have not yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise.’
ABOUT THE VERSE (62:4)
The Companion Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
One day we were sitting with Holy Prophet when Surah Jumua was revealed. I enquired from the Holy Prophet, “Who are the people to whom the words,
“And among others who have not yet joined them” refer?” Salman, the Persian was sitting among us. Upon my repeated asking him the same question the Holy Prophet put his hand on Salman and said, “If faith were to go up to the Pleiades, a man from these would surely find it.
Ref: Bukhari
In other sayings, according to Ahmadiyya understanding, this promised reformer is mentioned as Promised Messiah - the Imam Mahdi. [plz read more in Ahmadiyya DIR in this forum ]

and Holy Prophet also prophesied about re-emergence Khilafat:
Holy Prophet s.a.w. said [gist]:
a-- Khilafat on the precept of Prophethood after him,
b-- then two eras of kingships with severity would come and
c-- then again khilafat on the precept of Prophethood would be established.
Then he did not say anything.
[Gist Ref: Narrator Companion Hudhiafah r.a. , Musnad Ahmad, Hadith]
Thus (c) above is obvious Khilafat of Promised Messiah:
The Khilafat is a promise to pious people:
and
works of Khilafat are:
[Holy Quran 24:56] Allah has
promised to those among you who believe and do good works that He will surely make them Successors in the earth, as He made Successors
from among those who were before them; and that He will surely
establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them; and that He will surely give them in exchange
security and peace after their fear: They will
worship Me,and they will not associate anything with Me. Then whoso is ungrateful after that, they will be the rebellious.
[24:57] And
observe Prayer and give the Zakat and obey the Messenger, that you may be shown mercy.
Result:
The promised by Allah and Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) solution to problems of Muslims and their revival is only and only through getting connected with Promised Messiah Mahdi and his Khilafat, which continues by the grace of Allah the Exalted.
