The third question of Fatwa No. ( 8536 ):

Q3: What is the difference between Muslims and Ahmadis ?
A3: The difference between them is: that Muslims are those who worship Allah alone and follow His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and they believe that he is the Seal of the Prophets, with no prophet after him. As for the Ahmadis , who are the followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad , they are disbelievers and not Muslims; because they claim that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is a prophet after Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Whoever holds this belief is a disbeliever according to all Muslim scholars; due to the saying of Allah, the Exalted:

Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets

مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِنْ رِجَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ

[Al-Ahzab 33:40]

And because it is authentically reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:

And I am the last of the Prophets, there is no Prophet after me.

أنا خاتم النبيين لا نبي بعدي

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2219Sahih (Darussalam)

. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
