Did you have a chance to read the translations produced by Gam
Suntou,

Did you have a chance to read the translations produced by Gambian Ahmadis? If you do what part of it is misconstrued? The supreme islamic council is using what is called in IT parlance "FUD" (fear, uncertainty and doubt) to counter the announcement made by the Ahmadiyya community. Wouldn't it be prudent if they took the time to read the translated text to ascertain that nothing is awry before advising people against it. How about the supreme islamic council coming up with their own translations then. The Gambia is a secular state and if we intend to improve upon that, we have to tolerate the religious leanings of our countrymen no matter how misguided we think they are.

Subject: Re: The Ahmadis/rejoinder/typos rect.


thanks yero.Those are the tip of the ice bag .they have many other
 things that their members at the fringes don't know ,but when you get deep
 in their affairs then they open up to you and by that time it is
 normally too late to get out .i attended three conferences in London one by
 the ahamadiyas and two by those working to expose them.
  it is indeed true that they help their registered members in every
 academic pursuit .they can find convenient scholarships,funding,and all
 sorts of support .the registered member later pay back by means of
 donations or other kindness to members.
   
  the feeling of responsibility to the movement or organisation trap
 many inside who later discover the truth about them.
  they operate similar to that of some so-call fundamentalist groups
 .they interpret Islam according to their narrow understanding and then
 trap a few gullible vulnerable individuals and then brain wash them ,then
 use them to do misguided things in the name of Islam.
   
  is am is about real knowledge and harmony .every situation have its
 mode of solving according the Quran and sunnah .yet ,people prefer the
 ideas of so-call leaders who them self are control by anti-islamic
 elements .we need to learn our religion a bit .the ahamadiya are failing
 even in England where they are funded by the government to spread across
 the under-developed world .new Muslims know about them more we born
 Muslims.
  may Allah guide us all .amen.

How dare?
1. The Ahmadis believe there is a prophet after Nabi Muhammad-PBUH,
 namely ‘Ghulam”2. The Ahmadis don’t believe in the
 fitnatul-dhazal/the anis Christ3. The Ahmadis don’t believe in the coming of the Mahdi
 (Imam of the rightful prophets.)4. They have controversial views about
 the rise and coming back of Esa ibn Mariam (Jesus)-PBUH5. They don’t
 even pray behind other Muslims other than an Ahmadis.



The name “Ahmadi” and “Ahmadians” are serious misnomers. Islam
 is not like other religions where they are named after their founders,
 for e.g. Christianity after Christ; Buddhism after Buddha; Judaism
 after Judah et cetera. Verily the name of our true religion is Islam, and
 those that practice it Muslims. The best grip is the Quran and the
 Sunnah. The Quran-words of Allah/God SWT. The Sunnah-way of life of the
 prophet-PBUH. 
The fear is these Ahmadis might translate the Quran to suite their
 personal agenda, in addition to distorting some of the verses. Then, it
 becomes truly unacceptable. Since it was accepted that Islamic activities
 must be approved by the SIC, their move to publish it without consent
 to the SIC violates that agreement. 
Of course, there is greater need for tolerance and acceptance of the
 tolerable and acceptable. Obviously a verse goes “There is no
 compulsion in religion.” /Quran. In Quranic chapter 109, it ended by saying
 “To you belong your religion, and ours belong to us.” But if the
 Ahmadis’ efforts are to pollute the minds of the people by intentionally
 distorting the verses, it is a need for scholars to tighten their belts
 and battle their unacceptable deeds. 
It remains to be seen their long battle with vocal Oustars Bunjeng
 continues many years after his death. 


We seek refuge in God from the rejected Satan and his many accomplices.
 We ask God for true guidance. We ask God to show us the righteous path
 and protect us from every evil omen, trial and difficulty. Whatever is
 good for our souls as Allah willeth in this world and the hereafter,
 so be it. O Allah, do not take our souls except in a state of pure Islam
 and make us die as believers. O Allah, do not return us to disbelief
 after guidance and do not test us with a burden greater than we can
 bear.
