 Activities of the Qadianis
The followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian are called Qadianis or Abmadis, whether they may regard him as a real Prophet; or a ‘Zilli or Buroozi’ (through rebirth according to Hindus’ reincarnation) Prophet; as the ‘Masih Mau’ud; a reformer; (Muhaddas) (one who talks with God), Hazrat Ibrahim, Sri Krishna, even God.
Their sole concern was to engage in religious polemics and make minute distinctions in argument or issues like the death of the Messiah, the life of the Messiah, the descension of the Messiah and the Apostleship of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.
This evil (of Qadianism) is spreading very rapidly in most of the countries of the world.

Ashas been said by the promised maseeh of Qadian this is the throne place of his prophet; the place of his birth, his residence and place of his tomb.
He who visits the tomb of the promised maseeh in Qadian is blessed to the same degree as one who visits the green tomb of the Prophet Muhammad(s) in Medina.
Nevertheless, by the grace of God his cherished desires have crumpled and his accursed tree is now falling, due to the constant efforts of the Ulama of Ummah who with pen, toungue and heart are doing their best to uproot this British plant.

 More than a name
Qadian is the birthplace of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, considered by the Ahmadiyas to be the Messiah promised in many holy books of Islam, including the Qur’an.
When Mirza Ahmad proclaimed himself the new prophet of Islam towards the end of the 19th century, many religious scholars had denounced him and his followers for blasphemy, saying that there was no place for a new prophet in Islam.
As the seat of the community leader, called Khalifa by the Ahmadiyas, Rabwa soon became the new Qadian in Pakistan, a focal point for the Ahmadiya community, which claims a membership of three to four million in Pakistan alone.

 Problems with Ahmadiyya Eclipses
The prime example of that, involved postponing the start of Ramadan 1311 to the evening of March 9th, because the crescent was not visible from Qadian (near Lahore) on the 8th.
At Qadian on 8th March 1894, vertical separation between the centre of the sun and the base of the crescent at dusk measured 10 degrees (allowing for parallax but without refraction).
If the Ahmadiyyas wish to base their decisions on observations made just at a specified point (like Qadian, where haze may hide a young moon), then lunar eclipses will sometimes be witnessed on the 12th of an Islamic month.

 Hazrat Pir Meher Ali Shah’s fight against Qadianism
The background to Hazrat’s entry into the struggle against Qadianism is that during his visit to the Hijaz for Hajj in 1890 AD (1307 A.H.), the chaste atmosphere of the Holy Land had touched him so deeply that he had thought of permanently settling down there.
The truth of these words was proved barely a year later, i.e., in 1891, when Mirza of Qadian announced his (initial) claim to be the Promised Massiah (Jesus Christ) - an announcement that was to culminate about ten years later in his claim to be a full-fledged prophet of God in his own right.
Understandably, the book caused a stir in Qadian, where the preparation of replies to the various points raised in it was taken immediately in hand.

 Haq Char Yaar - anti shia, ahmedi, qadiani website
The reasons why the Qadianis deem Mirza to be Muhammad(sallallaho alahie wassallam) is that according to the Qadiani belief, `Khatam-un-Nabieen' (the final Prophet(sallallaho alahie wassallam)) had been ordained to be born in Mekkah as Muhammad.
As such the entity of Mirza of Qadian is (na-uzo-billah) the same as the entity of Muhammad(sallallaho alahie wassallam).
It is also claimed that the mental development of Mirza of Qadian was superior to that of the holy Prophet(sallallaho alahie wassallam).
